High Protein Meal Replacement Shake Review.

I mixed the vanilla flavor with exactly eight ounces of cold filtered water in my Blender Bottle, and shook it like I meant it. The resulting shake had a great creamy, if somewhat thicker consistency. Had I added more water, it would have been quite liquid-y, but I enjoyed it like this. Usually powdered shakes are plain and liquid, this was a bit different.
The taste was straight up vanilla. I'm a vanilla girl, I like my vanilla protein. I had no complaints about the taste of this protein, and it would require no additional doctoring up, which I usually have to do to get plain vanilla powders DOWN. No additional sweetening, fruit or ice necessary, that is a big deal. (I tend to tell people to learn how to doctor up their powders to learn to live with the nasty flavors, but, this, this doesn't need it.) I am looking forward to trying the other flavors now.
Now since I am a fan of BIG SHAKES, I might consider adding lots of ice and blending it next time to make myself a longer-lasting meal, but I am a five year post op. I sipped it plain, and enjoyed it. I typically do not enjoy plain protein shakes, powders never.
As a bariatric baby, this 27 gram protein shake made in (Maybe one scoop in 4 to start as a very newbie) 8 ounces of water is quite perfect and since it's lactose free, you're likely to not have any distress from milk sugar.
They are also lactose-free to best meet the needs of weight loss surgery patients. One hundred percent of the protein is from a high quality whey protein isolate (There is no soy protein, only a small amount of soy lecithin to mask aftertaste).
Fortified with between 15 and 50 percent of the DV for 23 essential vitamins and minerals, this product makes a perfect pre-operative weight loss shake or post-operative meal replacement for bariatric surgery patients. Our meal replacement also comes in a great variety of flavors (chocolate, vanilla, chocolate-mint, strawberry, banana, and coffee) as well and an unflavored shake that can be mixed with soup, yogurt, fruit or home-purchased flavorings."

What's the foil packet thing in the back ground? Is it by chance a sample that can be purchased?
