Glucerna Hunger Smart Shake has 15 grams of protein and the shake leverages something called CARBSTEADY®, which includes slowly digestible carbohydrates designed to help minimize blood sugar spikes. We love this in theory but other ingredients give us pause. Mainly soy, sucralose, and acesfulfame Potassium (see label). Glucerna Hunger Smart Shake markets heavily to diabetics with a message that they have more protein and less sugar than the average shake. This marketing message left us a bit confused as 15g of protein is quite standard and more importantly many shakes have stopped using sugar all together. More so several of the ingredients in this shake are highly controversial not to mention suspect for diabetics. On a positive note we did like the taste and convenience of Glucerna.
Glucerna Hunger Smart Shake is made with Soy-Nature’s Way Alive utilizes 15g of soy protein, which has been subject to much questioning . Additionally it uses a form of sugar (Crystalline Fructose) which is also “sugar”.
