Many of us are wondering, which meal replacements, including protein powders, meal bars and snack bars, are healthy? Start only with those made from food, that have absolutely no artificial ingredients, flavors, colors or preservatives! These toxins cause inflammation ,bloating, and disease. That alone rules out many on the market. Then make sure the protein is non GMO, and, if soy, is water washed so all the beneficial enzymes are alive.... and how about gluten free, just in case youre gluten intolerant? Finally, how about clinical studies and science that backs up the companys claims? And what about 83,000 quality tests for purity of ingredients and manufacturing methods, so far beyond organic requirements by the FDA that only SHAKLEE meets these criteria! Thats why, as a Certified Nutritional Therapist, Shaklee is the only brand of supplements, including meal replacement protein powders, meal bars ,snack bars, and vitamins that I recommend! Heres the nutritional breakdown of the Shaklee products I highly recommend (all very low on the glycemic index): Protein powders for smoothees: calories: 170 protein: 16 grams carbs: 18 grams sugars: 10 grams fiber: 6 grams Meal replacement bars, by flavor: Blueberry almond: calories: 260 protein: 20 grams carbs: 32 grams sugars: 19 grams fiber: 6 grams Peanut butter chocolate chip calories: 270 protein: 20 grams carbs: 32 grams sugars: 19 grams fiber: 6 grams White chocolate chocolate chip: calories: 270 protein: 20 grams carbs: 37 grams sugars: 14 grams fiber: 7 grams Snack bars, by flavor: Cherry almond calories: 140 protein: 9 grams carbs: 15 grams sugars: 6 grams fiber: 3 grams peanut butter crunch calories: 130 protein: 10 grams carbs: 18 grams sugars: 10 grams fiber: 3 grams dark chocolate coconut calories: 150 protein: 9 grams carbs: 17 grams sugars: 7 grams fiber: 3 grams toffee chocolate crunch: calories: 140 protein: 9 grams carbs: 18 grams sugars: 6 grams fiber: 3 grams It is so important to be an educated consumer, especially when it comes to supplements, including protein powders, meal and snack bars, and vitamins. Lots of bad stuff and misleading marketing out there... because the FDA is unable to regulate the supplements industry (due to a legal loophole), companies are on their honor when it comes to whats on the label, the ingredients, and how they are made. As a Certified Nutrition Therapist, this is why is only recommend products made by Shaklee, the #1 natural nutrition company in the US... its the gold standard! if youd like to know more, please let me know! :)
