Question:
A protein shake similar in taste and texture to Atkins

Hi. I guess my question says it all. Love the way the premade Atkins drinks taste, but hate the high fat content. Looking to find a similar protein drink with less fat. I looked in the library but couldn't find anything. Thanks.    — Nichole B. (posted on August 13, 2002)

Do you want pre-made or are you wanting the smooth flavor & texture, but with good numbers?

I am just looking for good numbers Michelle. I was looking around your website and it seems that the pro-score 100 might be worth a try. What do you think?

Hi Nichole, I like Carb Solutions protein mix(the bars though, are disgusting)in vanilla and chocolate. I mix in blender and pour it over crushed ice. I usually, but not always add a scoop of Designer Protein which comes in a variety of flavors. It has about the same consistency as the Atkins, but minus the fat. You can find the Carb Solutions cheapest at Walmart. I get the Designer Protein from GNC. Hope this helps! Good luck !

CarbSolutions actually tastes better than Atkins to me, but it has just as much fat or more. You might try AdvantEdge in strawberry or chocolate. You can get it at WalMart. It is a little thin to me so I mixed it with a little milk.

I use Designer Whey protein powder. I love the taste and it is nice and smooth. Calories, 90 per scoop , 1.5 gms. fat, 2 gms. carb. <1 sugar and 17.5 grams protein. This is all per scoop. THE CHEAPEST place to get this is http://store.yahoo.com/esupps/desprotbar.html/ I bought a 2lb. container for $18.95 and at GNC it is $29.99! The Designer Whey protein bars are great too.

Cheryl Groat----just to let you know.....we can only absorb 30 grams of protein at a time, so the extra 18 grams you are having is being wasted. Maybe you can measure your powders differently so you won't waste portein powder and $$.
