Such an amazing product

This product I have nothing but good things to say. Not only does it taste amazing, and not disgusting like other protein drinks, but it actually kept me full and felt like I really just enjoyed a full meal. Definitely an amazing way to start the day, or just enjoy any time of day!

Suitable for most people in moderation

This is an ok drink, but it really depends on the diet of the person taking it and what they're looking for. For example, I would never drink this for breakfast and generally speaking, I don't believe in 'meal replacement' shakes or the like (it's really not good to skip meals and can be a huge contributor to diabetes, but drinking these instead will have the same effect). However, it could be absolutely essential for someone who can't eat temporarily, whether they are sick or recovering from surgery and on a liquid diet.

Far be it from me to judge what you put in your body though, eat and drink what you want! Nutritionally this isn't crazy bad, especially when compared to some other similar drinks. It is disappointing that sugar and corn syrup are some of the top ingredients, but weirdly the sugar actually isn't hugely high (for a diabetic a reasonable snack is around 15g of sugar or less). However, it's important to remember that pure sugar will shoot up the blood sugar higher and this is quite sugary, but the protein will help stabilise that a while. As a meal replacement, 270 calories is not too high (and good for if you need those calories in your diet), but you don't want to take this drink alongside your normal food.

It has both regular sugar and artificial (sucralose) as well as artificial and natural flavours, so I wouldn't recommend this for either diabetics, or those avoiding artificial ingredients. For anybody else, it's fine.

So let's talk about the protein. This is a really high amount of protein, but it definitely affects the taste. Normally these kind of drinks are a kind of malty chocolate that is easily recognisable, most of the meal replacement drinks I've had have this same malty, chalky chocolate taste. Putting in so many minerals, vitamins and now protein, definitely gives it a worse taste than a sweet, treat-like milkshake drink. This is much maltier than the lower protein one, so if you already dislike that kind of flavour, this won't be for you as it's much more potent in this high-protein version.

These are really easy to drink from and when you twist the cap, the seal breaks automatically. Overall, nutritionally not amazing, but not terrible either and suitable for most people in moderation.

Lots of Protein, OK Taste

I received this product for free from HomeTesters Club in exchange for an honest review.

This drink is great to grab on the go for those mornings when you don't have enough time to get breakfast in. It has a great amount of protein to keep you going. However, the taste is just slightly above average in comparison to other meal replacement drinks.
