I
was in a pinch on Saturday. I had locked myself out of my office and had a
meeting a half an hour after working out, I did not want to leave my protein needs
in the hands of the gym staff and pay an arm and a leg for a carby protein shake.
I hustled around town to the grocery store where I thought I would find a
premixed shakes that are hot right now but Safeway only had cold chocolate
milk.
I
geared up to by some meat and dig in when I happened to pass by a new product
called “Protinis” by Maple Leaf Foods. I was in awe. There are multiple flavours
of “Protini” but I have stuck with the Glazed
Oven Roasted Chicken & Apple flavor because out of all of the varieties
at my local Safeway it is the one with the lowest amount of carbs.
I
quickly downed both of the “Protinis” in the package; I was impressed at how
good the cold chicken and dried apples were. Nutritionally there are 80
calories in each of the Glazed Oven
Roasted Chicken & Apple packs with 5 grams of carb, 1 gram of fibre and
4 grams of sugar. Protein wise they definitely do not measure up to a shake but
there are 11 grams of protein in each pack of the Glazed Oven Roasted Chicken & Apple.
They
are a little pricey, but nice little treats when you are in a pinch. I plan on
packing them for road trips, hikes and any instance when I know I am going to
be hard-pressed to find low-carb quick food fixes. I hope gas stations start
stocking them!
Here
are all of the different flavours of “Protini” on the market right now:
