Offered in vanilla flavor, the drink provides 100% of the RDA for protein, in addition to vitamins and minerals, and can be used as a supplement or as a source of complete nutrition when recommended by a physician. The drink is kosher, contains no animal sources, and is free of gluten, lactose and cow’s milk protein.
