Cocotein - Protein Drink

A patient brought me in this protein drink to try that she is totally in love with. It is a nice alternative to all the 'dessert' flavors that protein drinks tend to come in, which cause a sweetness overload to the pallet. Coconut is not my most favorite flavor in the world and so I found this tolerable when diluted by 50% with water, otherwise the coconut completely  overwhelmed me, so for a coconut lover this is for you! I found the consistency also a little thick and almost sticky. If you are a looking for a refreshing beverage this is not it. (It should be noted, that I also find the texture of coconut water to be slightly 'sticky' as well, so if you like that you are looking at the same type of texture but just slightly thicker).

It is made with whey protein isolate, which is almost 100% available to your body for absorption and it is lactose free, gluten free and aspartame free (it is sweetened with sucralose or Splenda).

Cocotein can be found at the following places for the following approx prices:
Amazon: varies
Vitamin Shop: case of 12-16oz bottles $41
BodyBuilding.com: case of 12-16oz bottles $35
Luckyvitamin.com: 1 bottle $3

CHEERS!!
