Just some info re: Protein Powder. My DH was using it in his morning VitaMix drinks. He had some lab tests done & one of the tests came back with a concern. When he told the Dr. he was using Protein Powder, she told him to stop. He did & redid the test which came back in normal ranges. She told us you can get the same amount of protein, vitamins etc. in a regular glass of milk. Hope this helps. Just because it says Protein Powder, does not make it the best thing for you.
