Meal replacement drinks offer the following benefits: •
They contain a high amount of protein (around 40
grams), which is excellent for people who engage in high intensity activities
(such as weight training).
Meal replacement drinks (packets) don't need any special type of storing. You can store them anywhere in your house at room temperature. If you buy ready to drink ones, then you should put them in the refrigerator once you opened them (if you don't finish ofcourse).
Meal replacement drinks usually have a low amount of calories, around
250-300 calories per serving. That's why they are commonly used as part of
weight loss diet.
Check these websites out. They offer a large variety of organic meal
replacement drinks: http://www.soap.com/html/sg/organic-meal-replacement-drinks.html, http://www.thethriftymama.com/orgain-organic-meal-replacement-drinks-199.html, and http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-HempShake-Chocolate-Superfood-Canisters/dp/B001ELLB4S.
My two favorite ready to drink meal replacements are the EAS Myoplex and
the Met-Rx Original meal replacement drink. Both of these products I prefer the
chocolate flavor. As far as nutrition goes, they are very similar:
•
They both contain a high amount of protein (EAS
contains 42 grams and Met-Rx contains 40 grams of protein).
•
They contain similar amount of calories- EAS contains
310 calories, while Met-Rx contains 260 calories.
•
They both contain 20 grams of carbs with only 2
grams of sugar.
•
They both contain over 20 minerals and vitamins
• They both cost around $3 per drink.
