Glucerna Hunger Smart Diabetes Care Powder, Classic Chocolate, 22.3 Oz

I am a diabetic and do not always eat right. As we age we need to keep up with our protein intake. I am over 60 and want to keep up with my strength, I purchased this to assist. I have to noticed any difference as of yet. I do like that it has lower sugar than other protein related shakes.

​I switched to the powder version of Glucerna primarily to save money and cut down on sodium, and I am so glad I did. Here is how the breakdown looks: ​Value: The powder gives you 19 servings for about $22, whereas the bottled shakes run around $13 for a 6-pack. ​Sodium: A huge plus for me is the sodium reduction. The bottled shakes have around 300mg of sodium, while a serving of the powder only has about 115mg. ​I was honestly a bit worried that the powder wouldn't taste as good as the pre-made bottles, but it tastes exactly the same! It isn't quite as thick as the liquid version, but it is still very tasty. ​A few quick tips for mixing: ​Use a mixer: I highly recommend using a blender, milk frother, or a shaker cup to get it smooth. ​The scoop size: The nutritional info list a serving as 33g. When I weighed it out on a scale, 33g turned out to be a tightly packed scoop. ​Preparation: Just mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of cold water, blend it up, and enjoy. ​Granted, it isn't quite as fast as just grabbing a bottle out of the fridge. But for me, spending a couple of extra minutes of prep time is well worth the cost savings and the health benefits! Highly recommend.
