Special K Protein Drinks?

[LoriPA 4]

All right, I've seen the ads for these and considering putting them on the shopping list for this week, but first, has anyone actually tried them? They're supposed to be 10 grams of Protein and five grams of Fiber, but are they worth the money? How do they taste? Not that I'm giving up my regular Protein Powder, but I am curious.

I tried the pink lemonade flavor a few months ago. And I have to say I did not care for them at all. They had a very unpleasant aftertaste. Maybe you might find a flavor you like better but I disliked the kind I tried so much that I never bothered with trying any others.

I have the iced tea and I would not buy it again, I too agree with the funky aftertaste.

OK; opposite side of the coin here. I have the pink lemonade and can't live without them. In my opinion, Crystal Light leaves sort of an aftertaste, too. If I'm going to be drinking something (other than pop or coffee, which I can't have), I may as well get the Protein at the same time. After my first one, I didn't think that there was any noticable aftertaste to the K2O.

Good luck.

Some of them are pretty good, however, my nut. says that there are not worth the money, because they do not have enough Protein in them for the price.

I don't think you can really use them as a Protein "drink" per se. Think about what they actually are. They're supposed to be for people to use in the middle of the day when they're starting to get hungry to stave off cravings so you don't go hit up the vending machine. So in that regard, I think they work pretty well.

I've used them in the past. I like the pink lemonade. They have a strange aftertaste as some others mentioned, but it didn't put me off them. I just can't drink them every day. I keep them in my desk for when I don't have a healthy snack handy and am starting to feel bite-ish. I wasn't fond of the strawberry kiwi though. So I'd recommend the pink lemonade first of all !

I really like the Kiwi strawberry flavor. And I've found that I prefer the packet kind that you add to bottled Water better than the pre-mixed kind. It has 5 grams of Protein and a pretty good taste (in my opinion).

Two kinds of the Special K I've tried... ones in the packets you add to Water and the newer ones that seemed to have just come out a few weeks ago.

No issue with the packets as far as taste; tried them all; like the iced tea flavor the least but it will do in a pinch. And does seem to take the edge off the afternoon cravings.

Just bought the bottled ones that I found next to the Atkins Advantage. These are the ones that have 15g Protein and 5g fiber. Have had one each of the vanilla and chocolate. Got to say I find them both quite tasty and the funny thing is that the chocolate flavored one really killed my "itch" for a piece of chocolate candy I've been fighting the last few weeks. They are now my drink of choice.

Walgreen's here in Texas had a flyer that had a $2 off coupon, and got another two when I checked out at register. Think they are good value for the money.

I didn't care for the strawberry ones. I've not tried the other flavors.

I liked the bottled chocolate flavor, didn't like the add to Water ones and they didn't like me!

The strawberry shake and vanilla shake are both good. I could not stomach the kind that you add to Water though. yuck.
