*Update-So I actually got around to making this, and it makes way more than 6 servings. It makes a good 12 servings with pretty big portions.

Counts per 1/12th:

It could use more sauce, and since it makes so many portions, it wouldn't really be anything to add more sauce since the carbs are already so low.

About Time Brand Protein Shake-Just add Water-Birthday Cake Flavor

I found this at the local Drug Emporium-Vitamins Plus. They also had chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.



























I would probably not buy this again. I think I ruined it though by adding almond milk. I should have just added water, it would have tasted better. I may try it again one day with just water, but I wasn't overly impressed.

This was good, but there was too much sesame oil for my liking. Next time I will omit it and maybe add some tahini or peanut butter.
