MUCH OF WHAT IS IN THIS REVIEW IS REPEATED FROM MY PREVIOUS REVIEW OF THE BANANA CREAM FLAVOR OF THIS POWDER AND APPLIES TO THIS VARIETY AS WELL
I just received my latest delivery of this protein powder. I think it is going to be great for several competing medical needs that might be of interest to others. First of all, I am not a bodybuilder. I am an old man who has been a diabetic for more than 30 years. My kidneys are shot, requiring dialysis, and finally, I am permanently disabled. I mention this because I receive EBT Food benefits following the loss of my leg overseas.
This protein powder, unlike others I have tried meets my requirements perfectly. First, my doctor says I need protein supplementation, but am on a severely carb restricted diet due to my diabetes. This powder has extremely low carb content compared to some others I have picked up at the grocery store. When combined with 2 cups of almond milk, one scoop gives me a very digestible shake that provides the same nutrition as eating a serving of beef, pork, chicken or fish, with only 5 total carbs. If I add two scoops to the almond milk, I can get 50 grams of protein for only 8 total carbs. Great. My dietician at the dialysis center looked at the nutrition label and determined it was fine for a kidney patient.
All the flavors I have tried so far (Banana Cream, Frosted Cinnamon Bun, and Brownie Batter) taste great, and mix well by hand in a shaker cup. This is important to me because if I have to bring out and clean a blender after each shake, I'd probably skip it some days. Also, I'm getting 50 grams of good, easily digestible protein (I use two scoops usually) that has not given me any gastric problems at all, for less than $2 a day average. I think that is a good deal. I can highly recommend this product.
