I have recently been drinking a half gallon of Hoods low-carb milk a day!
I think this stuff is pretty good in the (off-season)/or whenever calories can be increased.
Its has like ten grams of protein a serving and also the protein is whey and casein, just like a damn supplement but a lot cheaper.
Has anyone else tried this stuff what do you think of it?

The milk is okay..if you choose the plain skim milk version. It makes good companion with protein shakes....usually 23g of protein in 1 scoop..so add 1 scoop and 8oz of the milk..makes 35g of protein. But personally..i don't have the money for it...if i have to buy dairy...i buy regular skim milk...and it comes in a gallon.  |

ThinkBig: Where do you get the low carb milk? I've heard of it but I 've never seen it when grocery shopping.
I am a big fan of milk.I realize this will sound ridiculous but I drink 1 gallon of chocolate skim milk per day. Milk often compares very favorably to many protein/mrp products. For bang per buck it compares very favorably.

Max:
Roberts Dairy. They sell chocolate milk from Fat free up to whole milk. I either go with the fat free or 2%. 1 gallon of fat free is around 2500 cals, 150g protein, 18g fat, 400carbs. I can't remember what the 2% is.

Well, if you are located in the East Coast as I am, I would say go to Sams Club, Wal-Mart, Costco, Kroger, or just about any major chain food store.
Personally, I get mine from Wal-Mart, you cannot beat the price and the protein it contains/ they sell liquid egg whites as well, NOT EGG BEATERS!!, but LIQUID EGG WHITES, there is a big difference!!!

Yea....i know sam's club here has the choco milk by hood.
But i rather have skim milk version of hood..i think i'll get some today. 4.5g of fat..being 2g of saturated fat is alot of fat...considering i'm downing 1 glass before bed, in my prework shake, in my school mrp shake....woo..
I'm going to go shopping for the milk today i guess.

I still haven't found any fat free chocolate milk....so far its just 1% ..thats as low as i can find. But the hood's skim milk doesn't taste bad....i love it. Doesn't taste watery . |

Here is a link to the products Hoods sells. I like the strawberry yogurts. I even add some whey and fresh fruit to it as a dessert when I need to bump up the protein in a meal. www.hphood.com/products/products.list.Cb.asp |

I like milk also and have been getting it for about a buck a half gallon. Hood's Carb Countdown goes for about $3 a half gallon where I'm at and you can find it any milk case(Wal-Mart, Kroger). |
