They taste like an Atkins shake. They are not bad in a pinch, and they have like 20 grams of protein.

Hey I have taking the shakes for a little while pre op.. they are pretty good but nothing better then soup. hot warm broth for me... Hope you like it too

They don't taste the same as the regular Slim Fast to me, they seem to have that Protein after taste which I find with all of the Protein drinks. They aren't bad, but nothing to get excited about either, IMHO. Personally I prefer the Atkins Protein shakes for two reasons, to me that taste a little better and they have more Fiber, a really important ingredient when doing this high protein thing. The fiber also helps sustain you longer, not a bad bonus.

I've never tried the slim fast drinks, but if you are looking for a protein shake I recommend Optifast. I recommend the chocolate flavor, it tastes just like chocolate milk. It tastes good (even better when you mix a little milk in to thin it out. It's not sold in any nutrition stores that I know of (I got it from my doctor) but if you ask you doctor he/she probably knows where to get it. If you are looking for a quick source of protein I also recommend the Slim Fast carb option breakfast bars. The chocolate chip tastes great like a granola bar and is 14 g of protein. Since I'm not a breakfast person I take one with me in the morning to school.

I am 20 days post-op and I ahve 2 a day to get my protein in. I don't mind them at all.

They are ok but very high in carbs (26gr). I dink EAS Whey Protein vanilla flavor they taste great and only have 4gr of carb.

I do the SlimFast High Protein which have 15g of protein in each - I've had the strawberry & vanilla - both very good - didn't notice any "protein" flavor particularly. I also love the pb crunch snack bars which I eat in place of candy bars as they give me my pb & choc fix yet have vitamins in it also. I also like there pb granola high protein meal bars. These are the products I use from them and like them very much.

I've bought a sample pack from Allthewhey.com and I love all except vanilla. They have 25 g of protein in water, non-fat and orange juice you get 35g of protein. There are no sugars, no fat and no cholesterol. I've been testing these out so I know which ones I like the best during my pre-op and post-op.
