Choosing Liquid Protein Supplements from the Pharmacy or Grocery Store
Read labels. Look for supplements with:
- At least 15 grams (g) of protein per 8-ounce (1 cup) serving
- Less than 20 grams Total Carbohydrate per 8-ounce serving
- Less than 5 grams fat per 8-ounce serving
Do not choose any of the following supplements. They are too high in carbohydrates:
- Regular Carnation Instant Breakfast
- Ensure
- Slim-Fast
- Boost (you may have this only if you get the one that is high in protein and low in sugar)
