Nutrament Energy and Fitness Drink, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Customer Review: Just as I remember…
This drink has been around for decades and is still as delicious as I remember from back in the 1960’s and 70’s. I prefer the Vanilla but the Strawberry is a close second. Nutrament has always tasted far superior to Slim Fast, Boost, etc. I have no idea if it is a good dieting drink, I buy it as a snack because it tastes so good.
Customer Review: Thrilled to find Nutrament again
I drank Nutrament as a teenager back in the 80’s while involved with sports. It was the best and to find that it is still being made after all of these years was a great surprise. I watched Vision Quest recently, which originally came out in 1985, and the main character was always drinking Nutrament. So I did a search and to my amazement found it here on Amazon. Today I drank an ice cold Chocolate drink and it was even better than I remember it! Ok, so it has nearly 50 grams of sugar (more than a pop), and it has a fair amount of fat, but it tastes incredible. It serves the best purpose as a post-workout drink, but can also be consumed as a snack or meal replacement. I am hooked again and will stock up, just in case it meets an untimely exit — I sure hope not! Diet Nutrition Drinks Buy Now

PVL Whey Gourmet High Protein Shake, Vanilla Ice Cream Royale, 32-Ounce Tub

51P3907GR4L._SL160_ PVL Whey Gourmet High Protein Shake, Vanilla Ice Cream Royale, 32-Ounce TubCustomer Review: Not as good as I was led to believe
Someone I know from the internet highly recommended this product. It isn’t awful but I like the Elite Vanilla much better. The person who recommended it likes this one better. Just a matter of taste, I guess. I use the powder in my oatmeal every morning to boost my protein intake.
Customer Review: Tastes fantastic!
In the past, my biggest problem with protein powder has been the horrible, yucky taste! Well, no more will I have to suffer through that. This protein powder actually tastes like vanilla ice cream, and it works extraordinarily well too! Although it’s a little pricey, it’s worth it for this good stuff! Diet Nutrition Drinks Buy Now

When Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon learned that the average ingredient in a North American meal travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate, they decided to launch a simple experiment to reconnect with the people and places that produced what they ate. For one year, they would only consume food that came from within a 100-mile radius of their Vancouver apartment. The 100-Mile Diet was born.

Customer Review: Useless to me!
I bought this book thinking it would be of great help to me. I found it to be absolutely useless. There are so many other valuable tools to use and informative books out there that I can only say - use your common sense - you know what you can and can’t have & all you have to do is ask the server to check in the kitchen to make sure that thee either isn’t, or won’t be, any gluten ingredients used. I live very near NYC and I can name so many gluten free restaurants that weren’t included that it’s ridiculous. Don’t waste your money.
Customer Review: Great resource!
This is a great resource to have for travelling. I love the tabbed setup that makes it easy to get to the section I need. Obviously a lot of thought was put in to making the book (with an amazing amount of info.) as easy to use as possible.
