A 63 g serving of 2 scoops gives 230 Calories and 25 g of protein. The 885 g tub makes about 14 shakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutrition per serving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 63 g serving lists 230 Calories, 25 g of protein, 8 g of fat (4 g saturated) and 18 g of carbohydrate. That carbohydrate breaks down into 4 g of fibre, 5 g of sugars and 5 g of sugar alcohol from xylitol. Sodium is 460 mg and potassium 600 mg. With 5 g of sugars, this flavour has half the sugars of the Chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protein source is 32.5 g of whey concentrate and isolate per serving, with 2.7 g of leucine among its amino acids. Each serving also holds 5 g of PGX (konjac-mannan, xanthan gum and sodium alginate), 5.8 g of lecithin and 2.3 g of medium chain triglycerides. Added vitamins and minerals include 75% of the recommended daily intake for niacin, 62% for vitamin B1, 54% for zinc, 31% for calcium, 29% for magnesium and 14% for iron. The full panel is under Ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredients and allergens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list opens with whey protein, soy lecithin, the PGX complex, xylitol and organic cane sugar. Beet root powder gives the pink colour, and natural flavours supply the strawberry taste. It contains milk and soy, and the label states it has no wheat, gluten, yeast, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nuts, no GMOs, and no artificial colours, preservatives or sweeteners. It is suitable for vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the Chocolate Flavour whey tub (940 g, 67 g servings), Strawberry has fewer Calories (230 against 240), less carbohydrate (18 g against 22 g) and more lecithin. Protein is the same 25 g. If you avoid dairy, RealEasy With PGX Vegan Meal Replacement is the plant-protein version. Regenerlife High Alpha Whey Protein Meal Replacement is another Natural Factors whey option, without PGX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake or blend 2 scoops (63 g) with 250 to 500 mL of water until smooth and drink it straight away, since it thickens quickly. Use it once or twice a day as a meal replacement. When you first start, use 1 scoop (32.5 g) in 125 to 250 mL of water and increase to 2 scoops over time. Drinking 250 to 500 mL of water after it is part of the directions. For a pudding, chill the mixed shake in a bowl for an hour.
