Who knew Atkins would taste good?!
Hi again, Peeps!
So today I spent most of my day waiting on the air conditioner guy to come and fix my HOT HOUSE! The rest of the day I got to go out to play. I went to Corner Pharmacy (been there, talked about it...yadda, yadda) then to Vitamin Shoppe and then to Wal Mart.
So while at Vitamin Shoppe I realized I had forgotten to eat this morning and was in the first stages of those ghastly shakes we get when we do stupid stuff like not eating. I decided to get a protein shake and keep shopping. I looked over the selection in the cold case and decided to give Atkins a try (knowing full well that I would hate it!) Guess what?!?!?! I loved it!!! Atkins Mocha Latte Shake is yummy! I was so shocked that I had to look at it again just to make sure that I hadn't imagined it was Atkins! And it was cheap! I love cheap!
Okay...scored some mochas and then back to Murfrees-Vegas for Miss Fred. While in WalMart I found that they too sell these delightful little Atkins mochas...SCORE! So as happy as I was, I got even happier when I went to get my low carb flatbread and found Sugar Free Tasty Kakes!!!! SCORE! Now mind you, these are not for every day but I have been buying them from Netrition and paying for shipping. If you put them in the freezer they keep for a long time!
So today I got calcium chews, super yummy Atkins Mocha Lattes, and Sugar Free Tasty Kakes...oh and I also bought a Chokolat bar (Is that how you spell it Melinda?) the guy at the Vitamin Shoppe said they were fab. I'll report on that later
"WOWOWOWOWOW!" I love my RNY!
Happy Friday!

Yep those Choklat bars are fabulous! I too like Atkins. They are the perfect size, not really heavy, and the stats on them are terrific. I have almost every flavor in the cabinet but I never let myself take them... so I got up in the cabinet the other evening while planning my vacation foods... and took one of everything so that I could have plenty of variety. The one I took and ate (I've had one out of all of them) was the caramel nut bar and it tastes like a snickers. It is good to have those foods to enjoy.
Their peanutty bar is good too.

I LOVE the Atkins Mocha Latte shakes! That's the only protein shake I can tolerate. Smooth, creamy and coffee flavored! YUMMY! Plus I like that it only has 5g carb per serving. I had a bad reaction to so much milk on my pre op liquid diet of Carnation Nonfat instant breakfast, NSA and this is what I turned to after.
You can get the 4 packs at Target for about $5.50, which is the cheapest I've found. And you can find coupons on them every once in awhile to really bring the price down. I hear you can get them at Sam's too, but I'm not going anywhere near there until after payday!
Anyway, I keep these shakes at work and at home and they are my go to liquid diet after fills. Good stuff!!!
