Worldwide Sport - Pure Protein Shake Cookies Crm, 12 drinks Review

Worldwide Sport - Pure Protein Shake Cookies Crm, 12 drinks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When one has gastric bypass surgery, one is required to get a lot of protein in. These shakes are perfect for me. I'm particularly sold on the Frosty Chocolate, though I'll drink the others too. They're portable, so I can bring them to work without needing a blender to mix a drink up, I don't need to worry about graininess, etc.
They're tasty, they're virtually fat and carb-free, and they're loaded with protein - the perfect food!!

Premier Protein - High Protein Ready To Drink Shakes, 18-11oz shakes Review

Premier Protein - High Protein Ready To Drink Shakes, 18-11oz shakes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I drink one of these after coming home from the gym. They're filling and quite satisfying and I don't feel the need to eat anything else. They're best ice cold although the instructions say not to freeze them, so I stick a cold one from the fridge in to the freezer for just a few minutes as soon as I get home, and by the time I've changed out of my sweaty work-out clothes, it's really ice cold without actually being frozen.
160 calories - 30 from fat; total fat 3 grams; 5 grams carbs; 1 gram sugar; 3 grams fiber; 30 grams protein; 330 mg sodium; 680 mg potassium; no high fructose corn syrup. However, FYI, this does contain some calcium caseinate just in case you are not in favor of using calcium caseinate as a protein source.
I buy the chocolate flavor which is quite yummy, not artificial tasting and tastes like thick, chocolate milk - especially when ice cold as mentioned above. I've never tried any other flavors except the chocolate.
This price and shipping seem very expensive, but I buy them at one of the membership big-box warehouse type places (that begins with the letter "C") for a much better and more reasonable price.

Almased Almased Multi-Protein Powder Review

Almased Almased Multi-Protein Powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read the "Turbo Protein Diet" book which heavliy marketed and based its diet on the Almased powder. To give the diet a fair chance, I ordered the Almased. While it appears to be of high quality, thickens up the shake well (I only used water to limit the amount of calories and carbs), and tastes acceptable - it does help you drop pounds as promised in the book. HOWEVER, I am big on getting good deals and getting the most for my money. To this aim I also ordered Spirutein strawberry flavored protein powder. After losing 10 pounds on the Almased, I started flavoring my shakes with the Spirutein. Once I ran out of Almased, I continued the diet using only the Spirutein with the same results. Another 10 pounds lost. My non-scientific conclusion? You can get the same results using Spirutein, save over 30% the expense of Almased, get a better tasting shake and Spriutein also comes in banana, chocolate and other flavors. BTW - Spriutein is also non-GMO, all natural and very comparable to Almased.

ZOIC Nutrition Drink, Belgian Chocolate (Pack of 24) Review

ZOIC Nutrition Drink, Belgian Chocolate (Pack of 24)

Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:
Calories: 110 - 190
Calories from Fat: 10 - 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g - 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg
Sodium: 230mg - 260mg
Potassium: 230mg - 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g
Sugars: 1g - 1g
"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g
Protein: 21g - 20g
The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.
The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.
The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.
Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.
I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.
Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

DESIGNER WHEY The Biggest Loser Protein 2GO Pak, 8-Count Carton Review

Average Reviews:

Personally I found this product in poor taste (literally). It is way too expensive for the amount of protein that you get. I have used several different types of protein and some have a bad taste. This is one of them. You can really taste the protein. I have tried the Biggest Loser Protein in the canister (chocolate flavor) and it was not bad. Personally my favorite protein mix is Jay Robb. The taste is great, there is no after taste and you get 25 grams of protein.

Next Proteins Designer Whey Big Loser Protein Red Raspberry Review

Next Proteins Designer Whey Big Loser Protein Red Raspberry
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recieved a free sample of the protein 2go from Designer Whey and being the supplement junky that I am I decided to give it a try.
Pro's..
The protein 2go is very portable. One can stick the packet in their bag or purse and not have to worry about it spilling every where.
This protein powder mixes instantly with water and that makes it very convenient when you are on the go..
Taste wise, I thought it tasted pretty good for a protein powder. Some but not all commercial protein powders are chalky when mixed just with water but this tasted more like one of the flavored waters once everything was mixed up..
Con's..
The protein 2go only has 6 grams of protein. I'm sorry but that is hardly enough protein to use as fuel during your workout and certainly not enough protein to refuel your body after a workout and at 40 calories a serving this is not a meal replacement..
The cost is outrageous.. $10.95 for 8 little packages is highway robbery. One would be better off spending 30.00 on a huge tub of protein powder and get around 70 servings and about 24 grams of protein per serving. It may not come in a convenient little package but a snack size zip lock bag works just as well.
Overall I give this product a thumbs down.. it's just a marketing ploy to sell the Biggest Loser name.. there are better products out there that will give you more bang for your buck.
