BElieve Protein drinks???
Here's the thing though: They do NOT taste like a Starbucks Frappucino. The coffee taste in the mocha and Italian Cappucino (surprisingly my favorite flavor) isn't strong. I like strong coffee, so I usually drink mine as coffee creamer, which is delicious. The Chai Tea flavor is more sweet than spicy. I've heard of people adding more chai spices to it. It's weird to mix tea with coffee, but I also use the chai flavor as creamer and I add sugar-free gingerbread syrup to it for something like a gingerbread latte.
I think they taste good on their own too and I sometimes drink them by themselves - just as long as you don't expect a strong coffee or chai spice flavor. They definitely don't taste "terrible." They just might not taste exactly how you'd expect when you hear "coffee drink." They are very sweet, which I think is terrific because I have a bigtime sweet tooth, but that doesn't suit everyone.
I just bought the Bariatric Advantage ProJoe to try out, which basically comes in the same flavors. Had the Nillacino yesterday and it tastes exactly like BE's Italian Capp. They cost basically the same to me, so I'll probably stick with the Believe after finishing my box of ProJoe.
Having RNY was probably the best thing I've ever done for myself.
Approx highest weight: ~350. Highest measured weight: 338. Surgery weight: 297. Lowest weight (for 5 minutes): 169. Current weight: 209. Goal weight: ??? - maybe 180-185, which was my maintenance weight before the regain.
If you aren't allowed caffeine yet but want to try them, you might want to hold off and try their new flavor, Vanilla Creme Brulee, which will be caffeine-free. I obviously haven't tasted it yet and can't vouch for it, but I'm sure I'll be ordering some almost as soon as it's available. I've never bought anything from BE that was nasty, so even if I don't love it I can always use it in protein coffee or as a base for some other concoction.

hugs,
It seems everyone has different tastes so what one person really likes, someone else can't stand.
Not sure if I will purchase again due to the cost. Wish I could get them locally. Hate paying all those shipping charages.
