Hi fellow listers,

This message just came through on Mary Shomon's thyroid & diet
newsletter.  When I saw that the product is gluten-free, I thought it
would be good to post the info. here, in case anyone needs a good shake
with more protein than carbs.

>PROTEIN SHAKES INSTEAD OF PROTEIN BARS?
-----------------------------------------------------

One option you have instead of a protein bar is a
protein/diet shake. Forget Slimfast (it's very HIGH
carb, and filled with sugar!) The one I've tried and
think is really delicious, and is actually quite
healthy and a good mix of nutrients, is Worldwide
Sports brand  "Pure Protein" shake. I like the Frosty
Chocolate flavor in particular. It's not too sweet,
but really tastes delicious.

For those of you who are finding results with a
higher protein, lower-carb approach, this shake is a
great choice:

Calories: 100
Total Fat: 1 gram (unsaturated)
Total Carbohydates: 6 grams
Fiber: 4 grams
Cholesterol: 7 mg
Sodium: 60 mg
Protein: 21 grams
Potassium: 140 mg
This shake is also packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C,
and Calcium.

No sugar is added, and it's a gluten-free product.

Put it in a smoothie with some berries, or drink it
with a serving of fruit, and you have a great low-
carb breakfast.

I've been getting it at Trader Joe's, but you should
be able to find it at some vitamin stores,
nutritional outlets, and some online retailers. <

Happy drinking!
