They taste like an Atkins shake. They are not bad in a pinch, and they have like 20 grams of Protein.< /p>

They don't taste the same as the regular Slim Fast to me, they seem to have that Protein after taste which I find with all of the Protein drinks. They aren't bad, but nothing to get excited about either, IMHO. Personally I prefer the Atkins Protein shakes for two reasons, to me that taste a little better and they have more Fiber, a really important ingredient when doing this high Protein thing. The Fiber also helps sustain you longer, not a bad bonus.

I've never tried the slim fast drinks, but if you are looking for a Protein Shake I recommend Optifast. I recommend the chocolate flavor, it tastes just like chocolate milk. It tastes good (even better when you mix a little milk in to thin it out. It's not sold in any nutrition stores that I know of (I got it from my doctor) but if you ask you doctor he/she probably knows where to get it. If you are looking for a quick source of Protein I also recommend the Slim Fast carb option Breakfast bars. The chocolate chip tastes great like a granola bar and is 14 g of protein. Since I'm not a breakfast person I take one with me in the morning to school.

I do the SlimFast High Protein which have 15g of protein in each - I've had the strawberry & vanilla - both very good - didn't notice any "protein" flavor particularly. I also love the pb crunch snack bars which I eat in place of candy bars as they give me my pb & choc fix yet have Vitamins in it also. I also like there pb granola high protein meal bars. These are the products I use from them and like them very much.

I've bought a sample pack from Allthewhey.com and I love all except vanilla. They have 25 g of Protein in Water, non-fat and orange juice you get 35g of protein. There are no sugars, no fat and no cholesterol. I've been testing these out so I know which ones I like the best during my pre-op and post-op.
