Protein with pizazz from Trader Joe's

This protein with pizazz from Trader Joe's has 20 grams protein, 250 calories per serving and more fat/sat fat and cholesterol than Odwalla and Naked Juice protein drinks.

This is the chalkiest tasting drink I ever had. The twins refused (28 grams of sugar too!) to drink it straight, and also rejected it mixed with milk. I add a few spoonfuls to their breakfast cereal or mashed banana and they will eat it but look at me very suspiciously.

Protein smoothie from Naked Juice

Another protein juice that I picked up (for the tropical flavors) is this protein juice smoothie from Naked juice. With 16 grams of protein and 220 calories per serving it has slightly more fat/sat fat & cholesterol than Odwalla protein juice. It also has 28 grams of sugar and I was not too happy about it - but the twins totally were.

Protein monster from Odwalla

Recently, I started wondering about the twins protein intake before lunch. They drink milk with their snack mid-morning and their breakfast cereal/muesli contains some protein. So I decided to add a few spoons of a protein drink to their breakfast to boost the protein content.

All bolthouse farms protein drinks have only 10 grams of protein per serving (and they have caffeine too) so I started with Odwalla protein monster. It has 16 grams protein, and 200 calories per 8 oz serving. It also has 23 grams of sugar so of course the twins loved it.
