I see a lot of posts here about Chike the coffee protein shake. Since I just went on full liquids I am gonna hold off on any caffeine till later when sleeve is healed up better. I was just wondering if they are thick or thin like real Iced Coffee. They are on sale near me and want to grab some for later. Thanks

If you use two scoops as called for, they are more on the thick side -- not like a Frappuccino or anything though! Much thinner than that! I usually just use one scoop of Chike because it is relatively high calorie and high carb. Made with one scoop, it is much thinner.

I didn't notice the carbs, I l was busy looking at the sugar which is two grams. 9 grams of carbs doesn't seem too bad especially when they aren't sugar carbs, if I were back on Atkins it would have been half a days worth. But at 130 calories for two scoops, it really sounds good. I'll just thin mine down with less...I can't wait to try it. Before surgery I was experimenting with Coffee and plain whey protein isolate, it wasn't bad but I'd rather use a product that is already mixed ...Thanks again!

If you are allowed to use it, a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee added to your coffee protein powder is a great way to bump up the flavor (I love coffee!). I will also add it to chocolate protein powder for mocha, to vanilla for a vanilla latte protein shake, etc.

I know many people like Chike but I find it to be too sweet, and a trigger for me to crave carbs and sugar. It may not have the same effect on you.

Chike doesn't have as much protein as other brands, but if you like an iced coffee drink, try a vanilla protein drink with the Maxwell House squirty stuff added. It was a game-changer for me

Thanks for reminding me...I actually have that and forgot all about it. I had bought the regular and the Vanilla...don't buy the vanilla it is weird tasting. I'm going to try that for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks again!
