Protein and/or meal replacement shakes only just scrape in to this category of healthy snack foods. The reason - because they are better than nothing and always far superior to junk foods like candy bars! I believe it is always in your best interest to get your nutrition as naturally as humanly possible.
But let's face facts, sometimes time and convenience are a problem. In most countries now it is law for the nutritional make-up of a product to be clearly displayed on the label.
So there you are - take the time to read the labels and definitely compare the nutritional contents product to product. It's simple - buy the product with the greatest nutritional content per unit of measurement.
Another point to consider is digestibility. If you are like me, and lactose intolerant, you may find yourself doing a great deal more label reading. I use whey protein isolate protein shakes as the method of producing these powders also gets rid of just about, if not all, the lactose. I also mix them with lactose free milk. It works OK for me, but, if you are lactose intolerant too, I suggest experimenting with different brands to see what works best for you. Most of these powders can also be mixed with water.
