Hi, really read the label on protein shakes. The ingredients are scary and unknown how much healthy nutrition you are actually getting.

@judimahoney What is "scary" about the ingredients? Our Orgain and Premier Protein shakes, used occasionally when life requires, list pretty common ingredients and a list of added vitamins and minerals. Those can seem daunting when listed by their scentific names instead of the common "Vitamins B6, B12, etc.

I know fresh, whole food is preferable to a packaged shake or processed foods, but sometimes the goal must be calories to sustain life much like an IV or a feeding tube. In that situation a quality shake is better than starvation.
