Anyone tried these ?  45g protein, 2g sugar and 3g carbs

I have tried the Quest Salted Caramel 30g protein. I like them, full of flavor and I didn't detect aftertaste.  Mine were in the pack of 4. 

I would repurchase.

I subscribe to the Decadent Dark Chocolate, we love it.

I recently tried Quest Iced Coffee in Vanilla Latte and it's the best bottled iced coffee I've tried so far. 

Just had my second one this morning.

I have tried the vanilla milkshake & Peanut butter and liked them both. The macros are great in this one but the only issue I have is the sucralose which I try to avoid. Also contains stevia but I don't taste it in this one.

Whoops, I need to correct my error.

I have tried the Quest 45g protein vanilla shakes.  I am super fussy about shakes, and my default brand is Premier Protein shakes.  I've tried every flavor they make.

(I don't like shakes that seem too watery).

However, the Quest is quite good.  I would definitely buy it again.   

Note ... most protein shakes are 11.5 ounces.  (I have no idea why).  The Quest 45g shakes are 14 ounces.

The ones I checked on Amazon were about twice the cost of Premier drinks.

45 grams of protein is way too much to consume at once. It shouldn't exceed 40 grams in one sitting. Consuming 45 grams is no more beneficial than taking 15 to 30 grams at once. Too much protein is hard on the kidneys and your wallet.

I have a few gulps several times over a period of hours in the afternoon.  Forty five grams of protein in one fell swoop does seem like a lot.  

I can't imagine drinking the whole 14 oz. bottle in one sitting.

I have not tried Quest but Costco online carries the vanilla flavor.  I was reading the Costco reviews for the vanilla flavor.  Mixed reviews, most people saying it tastes like melted vanilla ice cream, other people saying it's too sweet or has an aftertaste.  I'm not thrilled that it has sucralose and soy in it.  I avoid soy whenever possible. 

I will stick with Orgain 30 g. protein shake.  The vanilla tastes decent, sweet but not overly sweet, consistency is like regular milk, not thick like Premier Protein.  Sweeteners are monk fruit extract and stevia, no artificial sweeteners or flavors, no sucralose, no soy, 1 g. sugar, gluten free, 160 calories.  Their protein powders are pretty good, too.

Another brand that is good is Fairlife Nutrition Plan, 30 g. protein shake.
