Shake Recommendations

[deleted]

Could you all recommend the best tasting, ready-made, shakes in the grocery stores?
What do you think of the Atkins Advantage ready-to-drink shakes and what flavor is best?

I like Atkins shakes. They are a great energy pick me up at 4 in the afternoon.

For the Atkins shakes, I usually buy vanilla, but the vanilla caramel creme and the cafe au lait are very tasty, too. I just get plain vanilla because they are one gram of net carbs, rather than 2 grams like cafe au lait and vanilla caramel.

Then I might add SF caramel syrup or coffee syrup to the vanilla for some variety, while keeping it at one net carb.

Atkins Milk Chocolate and stawberry and Eas.

I like the Atkins Strawberry !!

I have tried the EAS Advantage Edge Chocolate Fudge and the EAS Advantage Edge Coffee House line (mocha, carmel, and cappucino). While I REALLY wanted to like these shakes, I did not. They all had what I call a funky protein shake taste and a funny aftertaste. :Puke:
I really want to try the Atkins ready to drink shakes. How do these taste? People here seem to like them so far. Do they have that nasty protein taste?

LOVE the Atkins creamy chocolate shakes!

I think each person is different. I don't like the Atkins ones at all..but I find with all of these shakes they taste 100% better if you stick them in the freezer for about 30 min. before you drink them. I do however like the Slim Fast LC Shakes!

If they are refridgerator cold I don't like them as much. Might have to try the Strawberry (atkins)!

The Atkins chocolate ones are really good. I think they taste much better than the dry mixes. Maybe that's because I can just throw the can out. I don't have to soak my cup for hours to get the powder gunk out of the rim. I also add some SF syrups or extracts to it. I especially love the chocolate with mint.

I wanted to like the Atkins shakes. I purchased the strawberry. I HATED them. I even tried the freezer idea. This did not help them in my opinion. I have also tried the Advantage Edge Chocolate shakes. I could not stomach those either, I really would like to find one I like. They would be so convenient at work.

I love the strawberry ones. They remind me a cereal I ate as a kid. I also get the vanilla and add Divinci's SF Banana syrup to it. And of course the chocolate royale. That is my wake up breakfast since my stomach isnt too fond of food until a few hours after I am awake.

I like the atkins shakes (pre-made). They are good. I usually will make them in the blender with a little bit of ice to make them more like a milk shake.

[Huskerchic]

I just tried the Slim Fast Strawberry and Creme one and added a bit of Torani Banana syrup and it was pretty good !

[pecan]

atkins RTD are very good. some of the EAS ones take getting used to, i can taste the protein in them too well. i think atkins masks the flavor of protein better because they are higher in fat.

Well,

I just tried the Atkins chocolate drink in a can and I did not like it either. I guess I am just not destined to drink these things. Yuck! :Puke:

I like the Atkins pre-made shakes. I prefer chocolate, although they only offer chocolate and vanilla in most stores in my small town.

They give me a lot of energy.

Brave people!! I can't take atkins liquid shakes unless they've
been doctored in a blender with ice and a bit of something to mask the
weird taste. For a gram or two more, they end up tasting so
great! ..like a shot of expresso and a scoop of lo-carb vanilla ice cream in the chocolate, or a few frozen strawberries and a spoon of peanut butter in the strawberry (PBJ!). I only started the liquid shakes recently, this has really helped me stick with induction.

My husband and I drink a shake nearly everyday. I prefer the premixed canned kind over the powder, myself. He likes both kinds but makes a mess with the powder, lol.

I like Slim Fasts low carb shakes. DH and I both like Strawberry but admit we'd get tired of it if we had one every day. I thought the Latte shakes tasted weird, but like Vanilla. DH likes the chocolate flavor of most brands. Atkin's shakes are good too but usually the most expensive. I didn't much care for the Advant Edge Shakes. They are made primarily with soy proteins.

I prefer a shake that also provides some vitamins and minerals- especially for my hubby since I can rarely get him to take a pill, lol.

[ladygolden]

ooooh but ice cream strawberries pb and expresso are not allowed on induction. Otherwise sounds delish!

The Adkins shakes are so yummy...I DO not like the Cafe AU lait but love the vanilla and strawberry....all my friends think I should do an infomercial!
