“I purchased the vanilla praline flavor, and use it to make smoothies. It have other vitamins and minerals, mixes very well...no disgusting clumps, nor does it have a chalky taste. There are 100 calories per serving, so use sparingly.”

“The value was outstanding. The taste is not so great with the regular vanilla. It doesn't seem to get as thick as the others. I mix it with the strawberry and it seems to help. Strawberry and Chocolate are my favorite”

“I didnt have the Medifast in time to start my liquid diet pre op so the nutritionist suggest this. At first I thought blah!! LOL I bought the vanilla praline and I tell you it is delicious. Very good with skim milk and very filling. Has a very good taste, no after taste. I think it is a few more calories more than the medifast but 10 thousand times better!”

“Doesn't have much of a flavor. Mixed it with different crystal light mixes and found it hard to dissolve. Finally found out that cold coffee added to it gave it the best flavor and was able to finish using the rest of the product that way. Would not purchase again.”

“Tastes better than other brands I've tried. Works best if you mix it in a blender to get out the lumps. You can also mix other things in it to improve the taste even more and to prevent bordom. I've added a few ice cubes, bananas, strawberries, coffee - the options are endless.”
