Just found an interesting video clip and news item from CBC:
Re: 'protein spiking' which means using added amino acids instead of real protein in a protein powder and including it in the protein gram count.

You might want to watch before you purchase....

LOL - that was exactly my reaction. I take it from your reaction, I should watch. My first thought was that I don't need any contradictory info in my head so I won't watch!!!!

Don't watch if you use GNC protein ....otherwise, you're safe!

Thanks. I have used GNC Lean Shake 25. But, what they don't mention in the video is a test result on the RTD vs powder. The macros on the powder are very different than the RTD. I just bought the RTD shakes for my sister-in-law and nephew to make smoothies (rather than using almond milk). They aren't dieting - they were just looking for a healthy, more protein-rich breakfast so I think it is fine for their use. I will be conscious of it in the future though as this is something I would have in maintenance mode in the way my family members are using it.

Sorry to be a debbie-downer, but I kind of get there might be a bigger problem than just GNC...and Quest isn't even tested

Ro- I was thinking of trying the Quest multi for P1 to do the eqq sandwich you were talking about. I will have to check out the low carb bread company for maintenance- but I am a ways off from that

Jenny the cappachino crisp recipe, sorry it took so long
Didn't realize how blurry other page was sorry, arrrgh trying to upload other page and iPad is fighting me

[jennydoodle]

I think that the first part of the recipe is missing (with the ingredients). I can only see steps 3-6 and then the recipe for the caramel apple pie.

[Destony]

Oh dear, I'll repost or at least try when I get home from work-I'm so sorry

[jennydoodle]

Thanks Destony!

So, I have been experimenting with the multi-purpose powder and making rolls and I have found a winner. I just made one today to have a chicken sandwich and I added some onion powder and garlic powder to the mix and it turned out delicious! I also sprinkled just a little bit of onion powder on top before I baked it. It was so good!

Thanks for sharing! I will incorporate that in when I make it for that same purpose.
