Protein shake powders question
 

Hello chicklets!

I have been searching the internet all morning looking for my favorite soy protein shake mix by MetRx called Protein Plus Soy. It was low in carbs (had nutrasweet in it), 1g of fat, 1 g fiber, 25 g of heart healthy soy protein, plus alot of vits and minerals and calcium too. I finally called MetRx and found out that it has been discontinued. Grrrrr! :mad: I went to the GNC store and read labels and I can't find ANYthing that meets all my criteria. Apparently, aspartame is a bad thing to bodybuilders, so it's not in many of the protein shakes. I guess they need some sugars.

Does anyone know of a good no sugar soy protein shake mix? Or know of a site where I can get more info comparing products, maybe?

Please don't tell me how to make my own with eggs and peanut butter and yogurt. I need convenience for breakfast or else I just don't eat, which I know is a bad thing.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

I don't know of any myself, but I was also wondering whether my low-carb Slimfast shake powders were alright...

Just bought some vanilla Aria protein powder from Trader Joe's and it's good, BUT it's not sweetened. I just pour a bit of the no-sugar vanilla syrup along w/ soy-milk and it's great! Hope this helps ;)

I use a whey protein powder in mine....Designer Protein Powder in Vanilla Praline. I think this one has the best taste and have had it for years. It does have a lot of ingredients that I have no idea what they are but this powder was recommended by several trainers I've been to and a nutritionist I saw a few years ago.
