Hello Everyone, I have been looking for a ready to drink protiein shake that I can have for lunch and may be sometimes for breakfast on the weekends. I have tried Muscle Milk, Muscle Milk Light, EAS, Premier Protein, Synthia-6 and Atkins ready to drink protien shakes. I dont like any of them so I just happened come across an add for these Slim Fast Low Carb drinks which come in chcololate and vanilla flavors. When I was doing my 2 week pre-op diet, I was allowed the Slim Fast Optima drinks and I really enjoyed the taste but they have way too many carbs for post-op. I have not found them anywhere is the stores in Bakersfield, CA so I will have to order them online in bulk; you get 6 boxes of 6 cans for about $40. I dont want to waste $40 if they taste horrible. The nutritional value is listed below and I think that it will fit into my diet perfectly. Please all comments and opinions welcome.

Walmart only had the Chocolate Low Carb Slim Fast, I am not really into Vanilla flavored protein shakes unless I add berries. Maybe I can try the Vanilla and add some frozen mixed berries and blend it into a smoothie.

I will definitely try these as I am running out of my favorite Atkin's shakes. They all are really an acquired taste. I am the same, Day Dreamer. I love the shakes just for breakfast and a snack between classes and work.

omg i LOVE the atkins shakes. I have only had the coffee ones but interested if the regular flavors are as thick and satisfying as the coffee ones...if anyone knows could you let me know...

I found them at Walmart. I don't like that version. I prefer the regular ones.

I was drinking the low carb slim fast shakes early on in my journey and during pre-op stage. they are good and are tolerable. i would put them in a blender with ice to make it shake like. only thing i didn't like is that i had to order them online. there aren't any stores here that carry the low carb type.
