LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted April 28, 2011 I agree - sometimes you need to add to the shakes to give them a flavor boost. I have added SF dry pudding mix or Crystal Light to change up the taste. I personally enjoy Slim Fast and Atkins shakes. I have used the shakes on and off for years to lose weight. Actually, the Atkins ones are so tasty I drink the Cafe Latte for Breakfast and I am not even on a pre op diet I got my shipment of Syntrex Protein Nectars - the variety sample pack - and some of the flavors are wild!!! I just hope they taste as good as they sound. One thing I have noticed is that every person has very different taste. I seem to like more of the Protein drinks than other people. But I have always been big into SF products so the after-taste doesn't even register anymore. This may or may not change post op :eek: Best to buy sample size and do a test run than to sink tons of money into drinks you may or may not like. I bet if you took a poll on who likes this brand Protein Drink vs that brand.. it would be split evenly. Agreed, I'm one of the few who actually enjoy Protein Shakes and have liked the whole shakes for weight loss for years even before my band. I've always loved Slim Fast and if I hadn't had one in awhile I'd buy them because I missed them. Crazy, I know!! Let me know how you like the Syntrax, I want to get some samples of that too. Also, great idea on the poll... who's up for a little debate? LOL (of all the things to debate about!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibejjo 47 Posted April 29, 2011 Walmart only had the chocolate Low Carb Slim Fast, I am not really into vanilla flavored Protein Shakes unless I add berries. Maybe I can try the Vanilla and add some frozen mixed berries and blend it into a smoothie.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wishes 125 Posted April 29, 2011 I will definitely try these as I am running out of my favorite Atkin's shakes. They all are really an acquired taste. I am the same, Day Dreamer. I love the shakes just for breakfast and a snack between classes and work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerry 1 Posted April 29, 2011 omg i LOVE the Atkins shakes. I have only had the coffee ones but interested if the regular flavors are as thick and satisfying as the coffee ones...if anyone knows could you let me know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MRSKOUBiK 27 Posted April 29, 2011 I found them at Walmart. I don't like that version. I prefer the regular ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryn 3 Posted May 5, 2011 I was drinking the low carb slim fast shakes early on in my journey and during pre-op stage. they are good and are tolerable. i would put them in a blender with ice to make it shake like. only thing i didn't like is that i had to order them online. there aren't any stores here that carry the low carb type.
