“I no longer find that I can tolerate cow's milk and so when I need to wet my morning ceral-I add a little vanilla protein drink. Works great and a way to take in some protein. Once my ceral is wet, I drink the liquid and then eat the ceral. yummy”

“Would like to tell everyone that this Atkins was once sweetened with other products but now contains sucralose (as do most other shakes). If you find your heart racing at any point check out Splenda on the internet, many people (like me) have had very bad reactions to sucralose and ended up in the emergency room (like me) and after all tests came back negative I found my answer on the computer. Love the stuff but have to use products that contain Stevia (very good and natural sweetener).”

They need to be VERY cold to taste good. Sometimes i leave them in longer till its almost frozen and take the top off w\a can opener and its almost like an ice cream treat.”

“Although I continue to use the pre-mixed cans of Atkins shakes for work, I find them way too sweet. Splenda is a great thing, but it can be overpowering. I also have a few containers of the powdered Atkins shake mix on hand and plan to give them away as I just can't cut the sweetness.”
