It’s a bit of a stretch to call either of these food; they belong more in the “probably-not-necessary-sustenance” category. But somehow I’ve gotten hooked, especially on the protein supplement shown on the left above.
I’ve been worrying about getting enough protein. I’m not really eating any meat or chicken, so my protein intake comes mostly from fish and beans (not a bad thing, I’m just concerned that I’m not getting enough). So one day last summer before going swimming, I tried the Protein In Body Make (or whatever it’s called). To say it’s strange is putting it mildly. The container is soft with a built-in straw, through which you suck the “liquid” protein. The texture is a mixture of not-quite-jelled Jell-O and tapioca pudding. Yum!
The Amino Supli is a Gatorade-style drink — basically lightly sweetened water. And it includes 1000mg of eight essential amino acids. Wow! It’s much better than one of it’s competitors, the tantalizingly-named “Pocari Sweat.”
