Fairlife Core Power 42 grams

Anyone try these shakes? They're a bit more caloric than the ones I usually drink (230 vs. 170) but I recently tried their 26 gram protein shakes and realllyyy liked them because they just taste like normal flavored milk. I want to try the 42-gram protein one. There are 8 grams of sugar in each shake which is approved by my dietician. I just don't want to buy a whole case and hate it. Does it taste like milk or have that weird, gross, artificially sweet, protein taste?

I've only tried the regular Fairlife protein drinks (150 calories, 30 gm protein). And they're so much better than powdered protein drinks imo. But I'm not very familiar with the Core Power. From what I've read, it's the same concept as the regular Fairlife, except after the filtration process, there's even more protein added back into the milk, and it's geared towards athletic recovery. So I assume it tastes the same as the regular Fairlife.

My husband drinks them and he doesn’t even have to drink protein shakes. I have read that we can only absorb so much protein at a time though so I wouldn’t drink it all at once since if that is true you would basically be wasting money and not getting an accurate count of your protein for the day.

I wanted to try them but am having trouble finding just a single bottle. I don’t want to get a case either.

Omg the 42g drinks are a lifesaver. They are all I drink at this point because yeah they just taste like chocolate milk. They are a little less sweet than the 26g ones but barely -- I prefer the taste of the 42g because of being more sensitive to sugar post surgery.

if you have a Harris Teeter near you or a Stop N Shop, they carry singles

Have you tried the gas station? I haven’t seen them specifically but some of the smaller ones go to Sam’s or Costco to buy their products and of course sell individual drinks.

I found them at race track

Walmart sells the single Core Power shakes. They are pretty expensive though. To me they taste sweeter than the Nutrition Plan shakes. I prefer the Nutrition Plan and have one almost every day.

I thought the 42g one was the elite Fairlife one? Core power is 26?

Literally Fairlife makes my life harder but it is the best tasting one ? I love strawberry banana core power but I’m not shelling out how much they want for it around here/Amazon. So I have the regular strawberry Fairlife right now

A Walmart in my area has them in their cold drink cooler. That's how I tried them.

Yes, your right. I love the strawberry banana but have only bought it as a single. I havent been able to find any strawberry regular ones
