I found I was skipping breakfast in my hurry to get out the door some mornings, which caused me to sink by noon. A friend mentioned these and said they were pretty good. I checked my local grocery store, and they only had a couple of flavors, none that appealed to me, so I ordered the milk chocolate (my old favorite) from amazon. I decided to try the sugar-free version with the thought to "doctor it up" if it was yucky. In fact, when I got my order, for the first one I put the mix in the blender with milk and ice cubes to make it tasty.
Well, it WAS tasty made as a "milk shake" but that also takes an extra minute or two, plus washing the blender. So the next time, I just mixed it with milk in a glass, stirring with a spoon. First, it blends very easily with milk, making a nice creamy drink in seconds. More important, it tastes GOOD. Not "OK" but actually good! Hard to believe it has no sugar.
I usually drink non-fat milk, but I mix these with whole milk. I find that, aside from making the drink creamier, the fat in the milk gives the drink more staying power. Since the mix itself is non-fat, the 8 grams in the milk is not excessive for a meal replacement drink.I had gastric sleeve surgery feb2012 and did not care for the protein shakes , so i turned to sugar free instant breakfast i drink 2x a day! I only wish they sold just strawberry, i dislike the vanilla and sometimes get tired of the chocolate. Have written the company with no reply just a coupon!!
