So in the neverending battle of the protein shake, I have a new recommendation. I was at a local organic-food store the other night and spied CalNaturale's Svelte protein shakes. There were four flavors (choc, van, spiced chai and cappuccino). They were 260 calories and only 9 grams of sugar for 16 grams of protein! So I bought one of the

OMG, I tried them last week as a "What the heck, I'll try it" kind of thing and I LOVED IT!! It was amazing. I can't wait to get more. It was just like coffee, guys, I promise. I tried the cappuccino and (dark?) chocolate.

I am almost 3 years out from surgery, and more than ever have to keep a close eye on my calories - especially liquid ones.

I love when I find protein powder that doesnt taste horrible. My battle is that i want more bang for my buck - for me, thats a lot of calories for a limited amount of protein. My normal shake provides me with approximately 28 grams of whey protein for 140 calories and 2 g of sugar. If I want to make it taste like a milkshake or something else naughty, I can add almonds or banana or other frozen fruit.... or make it with coffee and some unsweetened cocoa to make a frappe.

I have replaced my normal morning coffee with one scoop of Click protein powder. One single scoop was equal to the same calories (60 calories) in my morning coffee after I doctored the coffee up with cream but had the added bonus of giving me 7.5 grams of protein - something I didnt get from my coffee.

Im glad you have found something that works for you.
