MissBS 3 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Atkins Advantage shakes - about 150 calories for 11 oz., 2g carbs, 1g sugars, and 15g Protein. I really like them. I like the chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, ..... didn't LOVE the chocolate mocha (but not BAD). I ordered some chocolate caramel mocha but they haven't come yet. No trouble getting them down. A little harder to find and do not go on sale often. Good luck to all of you shake drinkers. Just finished day 10 of 23 day pre-op Edited August 30, 2008 by MissBS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
