42 Grams Complete Liquid Protein Supplement, Fruit Punch, 3.8 Ounce(Pack of 12)

Update: November 22, 2016.I now drink two tubes per day of these in order to consume my required daily protein. (Dilute with water and drink throughout the day.) I am required to consume 110 grams of protein per day. Two of these give me 84 grams per protein. My weight management doctor has prescribed two per day for me. This is one of the few whey protein drinks I can have. This one doesn't contain the protein casein. I do not tolerate casein. Casein causes my Lupus and Fibromyalgia to flare causing me to have severe joint and muscle pain. Eliminating casein and gluten from my diet has decreased my pain a lot. This product does not contain either ingredient.(End of update)My bariatric team requires me to drink these starting the day after my surgery. They sell these for $4.00 per tube. I put off buying any until I checked out prices at other places. Here the cost was around $2.25 per tube. I have been struggling to find high protein clear liquids (that I like) to drink for the first week after my surgery. Since I am required to drink one of these per day for the first week I decided to try them now and see if I can tolerate them.I can not drink these right out of the tube...they are like drinking syrup.I found I like the watermelon when I pour one quarter of a tube over a 12 ounce glass of crushed ice and then fill the glass with water. (I can drink all of the flavors this way , but my favorite is the watermelon.) By the time I drink the entire tube I have consumed 42 grams of protein and 48 ounces of water. (I currently need 120 grams of protein per day)The Orange flavor mixes well with sugar free Orange crush drink mix. I mix one packet of Orange crush in 16 ounces of water. Fill my 12 ounce glass with crushed ice and pour one quarter of a tube of Orange New whey in my glass and fill with my pre mixed Orange crush drink. I generally end up mixing 2 tubes of Orange crush drink mix with 32 ounces of water and drink this combo throughout the day.I like the True Lemon drink mixes mixed with the New Whey also. True Lemon Raspberry mixes well with the acai, raspberry and fruit punch flavors.True Orange drink mix goes well with Orange. I am sure you can find other flavor combos that will work for you.I like the True Lemon drink mix packets ( all flavors) because they taste good, but they use crystallized fruit giving each tube a hefty serving of vitamin C and they use Stevie and sugar as sweeteners while still only 10 calories.Currently. I am drinking one tube per day of New Whey and 2 containers of Premier Protein and food to make my 120 grams of protein per day.I may have to change my part or and sweeteners (in mixes) because I am having much more joint and muscle pain than normal. I have SLE and RA. I am wondering if the whey or artificial sweeteners are increasing my pain and my fatigue. I just thought of this today and will be contacting my doctors on Monday.

You can drink it like an energy drink, but I add it to 64 oz bottle of water and sometimes drink my second bottle with New Whey too. I kill 4 birds with one stone, hydrate, feed my body muscles with 42 Grahams of protein, the added protein fuels me, and curbs my appetite (which needs curbing)!Also, powder whey without a blender is inconvenient, messy, nasty tasting, and gritty. New Whey you can take at your home, office, and/or gym,,, and on the fly. No mess, no nasty taste, no gritty texture in your mouth and teeth!

Product was great as I usually drink it that gets 5 stars... I put 2 stars due to I received the wrong variety package 2 times AND the 2nd time received a box unrelated to my order in place of one box (was a box of plastic bags) now trying to send them back. I do not know if it is a manufacturer problem or Amazon picking stock problem. Both had the correct description. I ordered the variety pack but keep receiving the variety pack that has acai berry and watermelon instead of orange and grape. I didn't feel like returning it all over again since they would probably send it wrong also, the boxes are marked correctly, but wrong product in it.

Good as the basis of a zero/low carb diet. Got the variety pack to try the flavors. First I'll say that I was on teh original famous (or infamous) liquid protein diet in the late 70's. The ONLY diet that I was ever successful with over a llifetime struggel with weight. The liquid protein they sold back then was horrible compared to this stuff. Imagine the nastiest cough syrup you can imagine but wth the consistency of honey, so yuo can't even gulp it down quickly.This stuff is heaven by comarison. That said, my favorites are the Blueberry and the Fruit Punch. The Orange and Grape have a bad after taste. On any of them, i found it more palatable by pouring in a cup or so of sparkling water. I use a citrus flavored one that (almost) makes this like drinking a fruit flavored soda. Since i'm only using two or three shots a day for my protein intake, this is very manageable. An i've lost over 10 pounds in the first week, though admitedly much of that could be assumed to be water weight, plus I also have quite a lot to lose.I would be interesdted in hearing more from those that contend that teh protein quality of this prodcut ios poor comared to others. I'd espeicalluy like to know more about those others and what makes them better. The east use of these shots of the protein, vice mixing shakes, is a big plus for this product however.

I use the IDS 42g Whey Liquid Protein when I'm playing golf or doing other outdoor activities. It does not need to be refrigerated and makes for a quick protein snack. The vials are made of hard plastic and nearly indestructible while taking up a small amount of space. I usually put two of these in my golf bag and consume them during a round of golf. No more hot dogs or nasty chicken-spread sandwiches. I usually keep several of these in the trunk of my car so as not to run out. The heat does not have any effect on the product. Since using these I no longer feel dead at the end of 18-holes and hunger is no longer a problem. The taste is good and it's easy to chug the vials contents down. There's no mixing to do, simply pop the top, take your shot, screw the top back on, and throw the vial in the garbage. I personally like to pour a little water into the vial after I drink the contents. I then shake it up and drink down the diluted remaining contents. Might as well get all of your money's worth... They work equally well when mountain biking. Also, a great compliment to this protein are the  Clif Bar Energy Bars, Variety Pack of Chocolate Chip, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, 2.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24) . They are the only bars I have found that don't melt and don't leave residue on your fingers. Two vials of protein and one Cliff bar = 5 hours of energy. It's easy to carry, easy to prepare, easy to consume, and above all no mess!

Waited and waited for these to be delivered. Kept getting messages saying there would be a slight delay - then got one saying the product was unavailable. Very upset about this.
