Question:
Has anyone tried the Dr. Atkins low carb mix drink?
I wanted to know if anyone had tried it, if so how did it taste. It comes in choc and vanilla, which one did you like better. I got the choc flavor and hope I like it, I tried some others and they tasted horriable. Thanks for you help in advance. — Lee Ann B. (posted on March 21, 2000)

I tried the Atkins protein powder and didn't like it. There are many
diffrent types of protein supplements on the market, though. Vitalady,
Michelle Curran, sells samples of differents types of protein powders so
you don't need to buy a large quantity and let it go to waste. Also, I
have heard of some support groups where they have a taste testing party
where peole bring in samples of their favorite protein powder for everyone
to try. A hat is passed to purchase the different brands and people can
take haome little samples. Kinda like a wine tasting party or a holiday
cookie exchange. Sounds like a good idea.

I use the Atkins already mixed in a can. You can get them at GNC or Tom
Thumb. The strawberry in really good. The chocolate and vanilla are good
too. They are about 2.39-2.59 each. Each 11 oz can is 20 grams protein.

I like Adkins drinks. I love the ready to drink in 12 oz cans. Get them
really cold and they taste great! I love the vanilla. I also use the
powder mixes and they are good too. I like the vanilla with a tablespoon
of peanut butter in it. Add ice, skim milk and it is fantastic! I have
also found I really like the Zone bars for a protein bar. Especially the
apple cinnamon. They have 14 g of protein and are really good. I have
found none that compares to them in taste and in ingredients too.

I do love the Atkins Choc. shake. I mix it with 2 scoops Atkins, 1/2
packet of sugar free Carnation instant breakfast, 3 ice cubes, 3 packets of
Equal, and 8oz of water- YUMMY !!
I am pre op and have to lose 18lbs before surgery. I am currently on the
Atkins diet, and have been for 3 1/2 weeks. I have lost 14lbs. Every
morning I have an atkins shake for breakfast. When I asked the dietician
about drinking it after surgery, she recommended other products. She said
there were to many fat grams in there. There is either 11 or 12 grams of
fat in the Atkins Shake mix. They recommended other shake mixes with 1-3
fat grams. But I haven't really heard anything good about any others.

I tried it, and even with extra water it is way too sweet for me
