I MAY HAVE FOUND THE HOLY WATER OF PROTEIN SHAKES.
My mom read about these shakes online and sent me a couple different flavors to try and I am arguably an addict after only one flavor. Typically, I try to keep my post workout snacks somewhere between 110-180 calories, and coming in at 130 cals, the shake is perfect. Let me break it down for you.
Taste and texture: The flavor I tried was chocolate truffle. I guess if I could compare the taste to anything it would be similar to the chocolate flavor of muscle milk except a whole world better. I find muscle milk to be way too rich and heavy especially post workout. The flavor was a milky chocolate but light enough to where you don’t feel like you just got a great workout but then ate an entire tub of chocolate ice cream. It was smooth and I didn’t feel any gritty chocolate powder which I usually get when I have a pre made shake. In a nut shell, the chocolate was light enough to where I felt full but not bloated, and sweet enough to where it was a tasty chocolate flavor without being too extra.
Nutrition: Now to the real stuff. Like I said, this shake is only 130 calories.. which makes the perfect post workout snack or honestly even a light breakfast. When I heard 130 calories though I thought hmm… it’ll probably lack in the protein dept. BUT NO. This not so little little guy offers TWENTY (20!!!!!!) grams of protein :’) and que my happy tears because only 3G of sugar. Sign me up for these forever because I’m sold.
Extra: All right, I do have one con.. a 12 pack will run you about 39.99 USD on their website. YIKES. These shakes are also lactose, gluten, soy, GMO, BPA, carrageenan and artificial ingredient free So sadly they are pretty comparable with other shakes in this market but still.. a little pricey if you ask me. The ingredient list is 19 items long, which you can find on the website however most everything is familiar.
So in conclusion, I easily give these a 9/10. Would be 10/10 if the price was lower BUT otherwise, a pretty awesome product.
