Suggest A Good, Low-sodium, Heart Healthy Protein Shake

I m looking for a good, low-sodium, heart healthy protein shake. October 2014, My mom, 66, had open heart surgery with 3 by-passes. 8 days later, the bypassed all failed. 6 stents were placed. 8 days later, from heart failure of the bypasses not working, open heart surgery #2 came to replace a valve, repair another, and fix a small hole in her heart. 3 days later a pacemaker to keep it all ticking! She is currently working on 35% of her heart, which is what she exited the hospital with. She s doing good with re-hab and alleviating some prescriptions as things get better. At 5 1 , her weight pre-surgeries was 128. During recovery she swelled to 164. Now down to 106. Her doctor wants her to get more protein. Protein shakes are my thought, but I m in search of a great protein shake for her (Vitamin K is ok) Thanks! Jeanna
