Protein Shake Review – Cappuccino

Nov 22, 2010

I blended each of these two protein drinks with ¾ cup of hot faucet water for 10 seconds. I have no desire to bust out the thermometer every time I make a hot drink, so I just stick with hot water from the tap – that’s never over 130 degrees.

As with all protein drinks, there is a lot of foam. Maybe bubble bath is an ingredient…? Not sure, but I am having a difficult time with any foam so I will be asking my dietitian if skimming it off the top affects the amount of protein consumed. Don’t know if she will know, but it’s worth a try.

I skimmed off the foam on these so I could get to the real flavor for each of these reviews...plus I couldn't handle the bubbles this morning.

ProBlend 55 Mocha Cappuccino, 27.5g Protein
> Tastes like watered down hot cocoa.
> You can tell there’s a bit of a "diet" taste, but it’s not too bad.
> Not overly sweet so this might be good for people who can’t handle the sweet stuff yet.
> Before the foam was removed it looked pretty creamy. But after, it just looks like dark liquid. So if you drink this "as is" with the foam, it would probably be mildly creamy.
> I will not be buying this one since it did not knock my socks off.

Nectar Cappuccino, 34.5g Protein
> There is a cinnamon-y goodness in this one.
> Same thing on the foam – if I had left it on, it would have been a creamy drink.
> This one also has a bit of a coffee flavor, which cappuccino should have.
> But it still has a bit of a "diet" taste, but again, that’s not bad…maybe it’s because I haven’t yet brushed my teeth this morning. Ha!
> I will probably not buy this one because the one from my first protein shake review is still the best. So I’m done with fancy coffee type flavors.

My next review will be on unflavored and chicken flavored Unjury. I hope to do that tonight with some broth and creamy soups. Have a great week people, and make good decisions this Thanksgiving!
