Thanks for sharing this!!  I've been having trouble with protein powders so I switched over to drinking Isopure Low Carb, which is a clear protein drink that comes in fruit flavors.  For a 20oz bottle of Isopure, it contains 0carbs, 160 calories, and 40g whey protein isolate- a great choice.  It's not too sweet which is another problem I have with many of the other protein powders.

SO, after all that, haha...I checked out this Atkins drink on their website and the stats look great!  I plan to look for these at the store since the Isopure bottles are about $5 a piece!  

Have you tried the orange one yet?  I'm curious as to how sweet it is and if it might be something I can tolerate.

Have you looked into the Syntrax Nectar? Tastes very similar to Isopure, but you get tubs of powder and it tons cheaper, especially if you can snag a coupon for the big ones.

I have never heard of this!  I looked it up though and this looks like a much better option- it's so much cheaper and they have a ton of flavors!  Do you have a favorite flavor?  It looks like for about 32- 8oz servings it's $34 at vitacost.com, a little more than a $1 per serving, where Isopure is around $2.50 for an 8oz serving!  Thanks for the suggestion!

You can actually order a sample pack with a bunch of different flavors, it's a great way to try them all out.

I really like the fuzzy navel, I even dilute it a bit and stick it in my water bottle when I'm riding my bike. The caribbean cooler and lemonade are really good too.

Thanks for this tip. I've been buying the Isopure because the shakes need a break. Actually have some Syntax packets but haven't tried yet...was sure they would just be more shakes! To know I can get a tub for so much less is excellent and be able to drink a liquid-woo-hoo. Thanks!

I have tried that I love the cherry flavored one. just wanted to try something pre made that I can throw into my bag and get to work or carry around on a weekend and not have to worry about it. I was actually trying this before I ordered syntrax again.  and thanks for the sample pack link.

4.5 years out and I have never tried these. Just ordered the sample pack. Super geeked that I found Click Mocha in a decaf!!!  The coffee shakes (Click or Chike) are my favorites, but up until now had to use them sparingly due to caffeine issues. Yea!
