Protein Shake Review - Pre-mixed

Nov 26, 2010


I am so excited!  I found a few pre-mixed protein shakes that are really yummy.  First, I should explain that I still like some of the powder shakes that I tested.  Don't think just because I'm moving on to the pre-mixed shakes, that the powders aren't good.  They are but I just can't handle foam/bubbles in anything.  Probably 10 years ago I realized that I do not know how to burp.  I know TMI, but hey, I tell it like it is.  So not being able to burp means no soda, no bubbly drinks, no champaign, no foamy stuff.  That was kind of good because it meant I never developed a taste for soda, except with rum or vodka.

So after trying some of the powder protein drinks, I realized that I had that same foamy tummy feeling I get with soda and decided to try some pre-mixed shakes.  Now, I think if you mix the powder drinks by hand, or choose a certain kind, there really isn't foam....but I don't have to worry about that now because I found something super yummy that I don't have to mix.

This "review" will be a little different because all of the shakes from each brand have the same qualities so I will just lump them together.

Adkins Advantage Milk Chocolate Delight Shake, 15g Protein
Adkins Advantage Dark Chocolate Royale Shake, 15g Protein
Adkins Advantage Vanilla Shake, 15g Protein
Adkins Advantage Strawberry Shake, 15g Protein
Adkins Advantage Mocha Latte Shake, 15g Protein
> All of them are super yummy.
> Rich flavor
> Thick and creamy like SlimFast
> Do not need to be kept cold unless opened so I can just throw it in my purse for later.
> The only down side is that they are 15g protein vs. about 25g protein from the powder drinks.
> 15g protein, 160 calories, 9-10g fat, 2-5g carbs, 1g sugar

EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control Chocolate Fudge, 17g Protein
EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control French Vanilla, 17g Protein
EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control Strawberry Cream, 17g Protein

> All of these are yummy too.
> They have a nice flavor, but not quite as rich as the Adkins, but still very good.
> Thicker than the powder drinks, but not as thick as Adkins.  Thicker than most protein shakes.
> Again, do not need to be kept cold unless opened.
>17g protein, 110 calories, 3g fat, 2-4g carbs, 0g sugar

Overall, EAS has better nutrition facts then Adkins, but I like the slightly richer flavor of the Adkins.

There you go, another review....and a really good find.  Uber excited that I have some go-to protein drinks now.  Yay!  Bring on the surgery!
