Is this true?

He says hes gonna drink them until he can get a blender for real shakes. So im curious... can they really be used as a substitution to a protein shake? Are they really that similar?

I was getting frustrated because I was finding that my supp was too lumpy after I made it. I finally found the solution...I make it before I go to the gym and by the time I drink it, it's all dissolved. Is there a reason they don't sell it as single serving ready to drink?

Not to many make them because of the shelf life etc. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press. Ivan Montreal Canada
