Sudy,

tasted Blah !

My favorite is the Capuccino - but I'm a coffee addict, so take that into
consideration! I also like the strawberry, and the vanilla tasted like
vanilla pudding to me - I was pleasantly surprised. The chocolate wasn't
anything special, but not bad. I just wish those shakes weren't so
expensive!

I am a Dr. Atkins shake addict! My personal favorite is vanilla, although
I have yet to try the strawberry! I highly suggest them.

Have only tried chocolate so far, but I liked it a lot.

I love the Atkins Shakes in the can. They are the best protein drink that I
have tried so far. I have had the vanilla and the chocolate and like both.
I haven't tried any of the powdered Atkins mixes. But love the ones in the
cans, although they are a bit pricey. But its worth it to have one that I
like to drink. Hey, what I'm saving on food... I can afford to spend on
protein.

I agree with the previous poster I hated the chocolate!! But I love the
strawberry!!! I am 4 weeks out and the Atkins shakes are the only protein I
can stomach. I have also tried the vanilla and I can handle that one it's
pretty good. I have yet to try the cappaccino but will do soon I'm sure.
They are very expensive though, that's the only downfall. Good luck to you.

Im pre-surgery, but was on Atkins diets for quite some time. the Atkins
products are not always the best tasting by my experience. i ended up
going to my local drug store and found a drink mix that was about 1/3 the
cost, tasted twice as good, and had more PROTIEN!! i prefer the strawberry
in almost all the brands ive tried... something always chalky about the
chocolate, and the vanilla just didnt taste vanilla... im not a real fan of
strawberry, but it still endedup being the best!!

I think they all taste good, but they make me feel not so good. I recomend
trying them when you are at home and don't have anywhere important to go,
just in case.

I've tried chocolate and Vanilla and like them both. They went down much
better than the powder I bought to mix up myself. The only thing I don't
like about them is that if you don't finish it in one sitting, it doesn't
keep very well in the fridge, it gets a funny taste. I'm only a month post
op so it takes me a while to get the whole can down, you may not have this
problem. I didn't know they made a cappacino flavor. Where have y'all
found this?????

I agree with Amber. I tried my first one this morning. Cafe Au Lait or
something. I wondered why I've felt ickish in my stomach all morning. Went
to read the can again, NINE g of fat. well, that'll do it! No more atkins
shakes for me. although it tasted great, my body can't handle that many fat
grams at one time.

I love the strawberry ones in a can. Little trick I discovered.....they
are much better the colder they are so I put the entire can in the freezer
and freeze it overnight. The next day I take it to work and by noonish it
is thawed and delicious! Sometimes it is kind of slushy but I like it like
that. I like vanilla too. 20 g of protein and 1- 2 carb. I do not like
the chocolate in the can but I like the chocolate shake mix best of all.
Cafe au lait is not very good.

I have tried the Atkins shakes, they are ok but I liked the EAS Advant Edge
Carb Control shake. They come in choclate fudge, dark choclate, vanila and
strawberry cream. They have 2g carbs,fat 4g, sugar less than 1,protein
15g.You can get these at Wallmart, and some groceries have them. Nancy

My personal opinion is, it's pointless to ask how anyone likes protein
shakes. As you can see, everyone has a different opinion because
everyone's tastes are so completely different. Your best option is to try
them for yourself. With that said, I love the Atkins canned shakes and
can't imagine how anyone could think them vile. So that just goes to show
you! The vanilla is really good and very versatile. You can use it as a
base flavor and add your own flavors or blend with fruit (berries are the
healthiest). Good luck!

I'm with the previous poster that found them vile. I have tried 3-4 times
and I just can't stomach them. My children laugh at me because I have
tried to drink the rest of them holding my nose. They cost so much I just
couldn't let them go to waste. Try them ~ you may like them , but I found
them GROSS!

The Chocolate Royale is the only one I could tolerate and I drank it for
breakfast for several weeks. The Cafe Au lait was gross. I also tried the
other chocolate flavor and it was ok. The Myoplex light was similar, but
much thinner consistancy. I went to regular food as soon as I was able to.
None of them taste like McDonald's thick shakes!

Tried the chocolate but it isn't that good. I have to make myself drink
the shake. Thought this would be good because it was very portable, but I
will be looking for another shake that is ready made.

Im with Nancy on this. I didnt like the Atkins shakes. The Vanilla had a
funny aftertaste to me and the strawberry was too sweet. The EAS
AdvantEdge Carb Control shakes are much better. I have tried the Vanilla,
Dark chocolate, and Chocolate Fudge and they are good. I have not tried
the Strawberry yet. They are cheaper than the Atkins shakes too. In my
area they are at Walmart and Kroger. At Walmart its cheaper. Good Luck!
