This Ultimate Nutrition whey-based protein powder is the best I've found for making a quick protein shake (with plain water) as a meal substitute or protein supplement:FIrst of all, it's not too sweet like a few other brands I've tried. (I bought a different product at the store while waiting for this one to arrive and had to give it away because it was so sweet I couldn't drink it.)Secondly, this one gives 25 grams of quality protein per scoop, with only 2 grams of carbohydrate, which is excellent for people who want to use it as a low-carb weight-loss aid. I have used it myself for this purpose, still do on occasion, and you're not likely to find anything with fewer carbs (more typical is about 6 grams per scoop, from what I've seen).The containers themselves are a very sturdy plastic jar with a big, easy to open (and reach into) lid, that make the product easy to scoop out, and which can be used in the kitchen holding other things after you empty them out. (I use one for draining hamburger grease into, and the wide opening makes it perfect for that!)Overall, this is a great product that I can confidently recommend.
