Thanks so much...I had no idea that whey and protein powder were different consistencies...I will get my butt to the store. I love to drink a "liquid meal after classes which is the time I head to the gym. I just feel better without too much in me. I was trying "slim fast" ever since the nutritionist told me to eat 4 meals...BUT duh..silly me never read the lable on that stuff...tons of carbs! So making my own and packing it is th eonly whey Have a great weekend! Anita
