Protein shakes: You can drink protein shakes for a snack -- but you can also be wise about the protein shake you select. Slim fast has 18 grams of sugar and only 10 grams protein/serving. There are other prepared shakes with much less sugar + more protein that would be satisfying, and keep your blood sugar more stable. One is pure protein by GNC -- 1 gram sugar and 35 grams protein. Other good ones too.
