Any other suggestions for Canadians?? I know I can order lots of stuff online, but don't want to order a 24 pack of something then find out I don't like it Would rather go to a store to "taste test". Thanks for the help!!!
I know, I tried to find the EAS drinks & couldn't. In my second week I started using the IP vanilla RTD in my coffee (one drink spread out over my 3 cups of coffee in the morning has been my breakfast for 8 weeks now). At 4.50 or whatever it worked out to per drink, I only bought them once! When I couldn't find the EAS drink, i bought Isoflex RTDs at Walmart & have been using them since my 3rd week. They are 12.97 for 4, and at 30g protein, 1 g sugar, & 7 g fat, are a little more concentrated than IP, so you have to adjust for that, but they're really creamy & taste great in my coffee. I don't know how they would be to just drink, possibly too sweet, but maybe the chocolate would be better.
My husband & 2 of my sons have been doing IP with alternative products and are using powder from GNC (EAS 100% Whey Protein, 23g protein, 3g carbs), and are having amazing success, and costs about 50 cents per serving! They use the shake powder during the day and I buy IP snacks for evening snack to alleviate boredom, and it's working great.
Hope some of this helps!
