Product: Rainbow Light Protein Energizer - Chocolate

I bought this protein powder because it had no added sugar and it was one of the few that also had high fiber, 7 g per serving. Unfortunately, the fiber comes with carbs, 8 g per serving in this case. And even though it has no added sugar, all of the other ingredients bring the sugar rating to 1.3 g per serving. But if you are aware of the carbs and sugar you may be able to fit it in within the allowed servings to add the necessary fiber to your diet. Complete nutrition info can be found by clicking on the title above. I made this as usual in my "bullet" blender with a little crushed ice and water to make 8 oz. I also added 2 tsp of Benefiber to add even more fiber so the final carb count for MY drink was 12 and the fiber count was 10. The texture was a bit of a pleasant surprise, it came out more like pudding so could be used as a sugar free mousse type dessert with a spoonful of whip cream on top.

Pros: high fiber, lots of  "green" food ingredients
Cons: carbs, sugar
Cost: $11.99 for a 1 lb pkg (about $.80 a serving)
S/C: 1/1

Products: Vivani Organic Dark Chocolate - 85% Cocoa

Click on title above for full nutrition info. This premium dark chocolate bar is from Germany and has just 6 g carb and 6 g sugar per serving but, maybe best of all, each serving also has 6 g of fiber. The taste is just sweet enough and the texture is creamy. This is a winner and I can satisfy my sweet tooth with less than half a serving.

Pros: taste, texture, fiber

Cons: none

Cost: $2.89 for a 100 g bar

Product: Spiru-tein Simply Natural Chocolate Unsweetened Protein Powder

For nutrition info, click on the title above. This product is from Nature's Plus, same as the Keto slim protein powder. I mixed this as I did with the Keto, crushed ice and water to make about 10 oz. in my "bullet" blender. It is unsweetened and after tasting I added about 1/4 tsp of Sweetleaf Stevia. It was still not as sweet as the Keto shake and, unlike the Keto vanilla shake, seemed a bit watered down. Package directions called for 8 oz of liquid, same as Keto, but Keto tasted great and had a rich texture, even with the extra water. Next time I will stick to the 8 oz and see if that makes a difference. If you like it sweet, you will want to add more than the 1/4 tsp stevia. This product also had 5 g of carb so is right on the border of being one of your carbs for the day. This was much lower in protein than the Keto (23 to 14).

Pros: cost, unsweetened so you can add your choice, 1 g fiber

Cons: not as rich and flavorful as Keto vanilla, lower protein, higher carb grams

Cost: $1.19 for single serving envelope
