The sugar/carb content in One Source isnt high at all. In fact, its less than a large banana. Carbs are the dietary enemy du jour but are essential in a diet and should never be eliminated, even for diabetics. Glycemic index is more important than just carb/sugar content. A food can have minimal sugar content and still have a high glycemic index, depending on the complete ingredients. One Source is free from refined sugars and has a low glycemic load. I recomend it to all of my patients who can tolerate casein.

I agree that the carbs are a bit high, but…if you are a runner or cyclist like me…the combo of carbs for energy and good protein is a win/win.

I love the taste of ONEsource! I tried Mix1 and just didn’t appeal to me. Can’t/won’t drink what you don’t like. I tried it at the Philly Gluten Free Cooking Spree. I told my sister about it and she says her daughter (celiac) actually asks for it now! She brings it to school with her every day. I love that you don’t have to refrigerate it and it tastes great even at room temperature. I was told by my dietician that the carb to protein ratio is appropriately balanced. Bottom line, LOVE THE TASTE!

Jay,
I’m glad you found an option to replace the gfree cookies, bread, and candy you’ve been snacking on /wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />
I remembered looking up this shake before, and just checked the nutrition facts again. It has 280 calories, 8 grams of fat, and approximately 31-38 grams of sugar depending on the flavor. 23-29 grams of those carbohydrates is sugar! (A serving of Chocolate Chex for some reference has 8 grams of sugar and less total carbohydrate.) Keep this in mind. If a person is watching their sugar intake, this may be a bit high, and more of a milkshake than a healthy meal replacment. If you are trying to maintain/add weight then it may be a better option. Just remember check labels to see if something is nutritionally a good choice for you, things that appear “healthy” may be loaded with sugar.
“food” for thought… /wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />

My son likes a drink called Mix One. They are labeled gluten free but not high in calories. He only likes the two (Berry and orange) that contain high fiber. along with a substantial amount of protein.

One look at the label on a box of Pamela’s cookies will clue anyone in right away that this diet isn’t necessarily healthy!
