My wife picks these up for me every now and then
http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/weight-watchers/creamy-chocolate-smoothie
a bit pricey ($7.50 for 7 packets), but tasty. I throw one in the blender with a cup of skim milk and a pear and it fills me up for a LONG time.
Otherwise, I do a scoop of protein, 1/2 cup almond milk or skim milk, 1/2+ cup of water and a serving (1/2 cup IIRC) of frozen blueberries or mixed berries. That is pretty filling, as well.
I'm on a pretty good antioxidant tear lately.

That Costco shake is more a generic Slim-Fast weight loss shake than a protein shake. They have pre-mixed protein shakes at Costco that have around 20g of protein and under 200 calories from what I remember.

Yep, that's the one, guess it has more protein than I thought. I think it's good, I used to buy it but it gets pricey and I can get the same protein/calories from the powder stuff for much less.

Can you give me an idea of what you are buying?

I use Pure Protein in Frosty Chocolate. 140cal, 25g protein. $20 for 2lbs at Target. 5g of BCAA's too, IIRC.
Plus, they sponsor the National MS Society, so I will gladly support them.

Sucrulose yes, fructo-oligosaccharide no...at least not the stuff from Costco, just looked at the ingredients list on the bag.

It's a chemical. The people who drink 6 diet cokes a day might want to be concerned with it, but otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it all that much.

I think 2 gallons a day is a little excessive.

everything is a chemical...
Just because its natural doesnt mean its automaticly superior. I guess if youre a religious purpose you might consider intelligent design. Otherwise, your putting alot of faith in survival of the fittest.
If youre able to eat beans and lean organic meat 24/7, more power to you. For most, its a compromise of happiness and results.
*chugs crystal lite and Zero juice drink* It keeps me off the apple cider.

Cutting artificial sweeteners and sugar, (carbs/processed foods), from my diet has done wonders for my blood pressure. I think sugar is just like any other substance and your body gets used to it. I just got used to not having it.
