The Chai is soy based (I can't eat  cow stuff so that's the one I drink).  OH yummy, 19 grams of protien, heft calorie count (360) but for an occasional on the run meal, lovely and inexpensive.

You know, of the protein ones, I think that one is my least favorite. It would be okay a couple ounces at a time but that one reminds me of egg nog - so rich and cinnamony - I wasted the last half of the one I tried because it was so rich. I also tried the Blueberry Goodness smoothie one.  It was very tasty.  If you go on their website they have recipes.  I also made the lemon bundt  cake with one of the smoothie drinks in it.  It was so moist.  Everyone loved it but it was not low cal!

You are right-it DOES taste like Eggnog (which is why I liked it).  But I couldn't put my finger on what it tasted like-thanks!

Good thing Bolthouse Farms are whey protein rather than soy then, I guess!
The vanilla Chai tie is soy protein, sucks because I love that stuff!

I love these.  I have been drinking them for about 6 months now.  I drink a measured 8oz in the morning which is under 200 calories and has 10gms of protein which I need and the added bonus the one I drink has caffeine!  Love it and the way I figure it if that is my breakfast and I am keeping it under 200 calories I am doing great!  91lbs lost so far so I will stay on these.  They helped me keep the hair from continuing to fall out.  I'm hooked!  Try them they are delicious.  I buy the large 4 serving bottles they are by far the better value.  Mocha Cappucino yum!

Have you tried the Hazelnut ones?  They are amazing!

Sounds like these are really working for you, that's great!  I do AchievOne drinks which have 20 grams of protein and taste like the Starbucks Iced Cappucinos you can buy at the grocery store/gas station in the chilled section.  YUM!  Might be another option of you ever get tired of yours!

I tried my first Bolthouse this morning.  I went to Walmart last night and got one to try.  I got the Mocha one.  It is yummy! Where can you find the AchievOne drinks? I still think the Slim Fast Low Carb with 20 gr of Protein is a great deal and you can get an entire case at Sam's club.

The good thing about Bolthouse is it's the all natural stuff.  Most protein drinks are full of chemicals, which are no good for you.  Slim Fast being one of the biggest culprits!  Why does eating right have to be so damn difficult?  Seems like unless you quit your job and start to "live off the land" it's going to kill you.

Yup, I was reading the Slim Fast container.  It's horrible!  I used to be such an "organic girl" -- vegetarian/health nut.  Then I left that way of life, got fat and then fatter!  So here Iam!
