I have the same kind and it is pretty tasty.  However I am pretty sure that the nutrition facts are for 2 scoops.  You might want to check that!! I know I am going to when I get home.. lol

If it's the Vanilla Body Fortress from Walmart...it's 26g protein for one scoop at 140 calories. 2 scoops for 52g at 270 calories.

Yup, I have the same one at home. The calories are for 2 scoops (56 grams). Just stick with one scoop, and you're fine!

I may have to try this stuff.  I was always put off by the size of the container but the price really isn't that much more than the Meijer brand that I get.  And it's $10 for only one pound.  Would be nice for more flavor variety too.  Meijer only comes in chocolate and vanilla.
