Ok-more beverage posts...
The folks at Special K contacted me and asked me if I would like to try a sample of their new(ish) protein shake. Of course, being a sucker for anything free and easy, I said yes. A couple of days later the shake arrived and I immediately had to try a taste. I am not a regular consumer of protein shakes; I only occasionally mix up my own with Designer Whey Protein powder, but rarely buy the pre-made ones.
Back in the day, when I was working full time, I would buy the Slim Fast shakes, or the Costco ones to help me get breakfast in. Of course I liked them, anything chocolate and sugary is good to me. However, they never filled me up for more than a couple of hours.
They sent me the Milk Chocolate flavor, which was very tasty. There is 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, which is nice since most protein shakes don't have nearly that amount of fiber. In Weight Watcher's terms, they have 3 points.
Summary:
Tastes Great (Similar to Slim Fast)
3 Points
A great snack, but it wouldn't work for ME for a meal replacement

Good to know! I have been thinking about trying these. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the review! Liquids just never work for me as a meal replacement... wish they did but I need "food food" to feel/get full!
I have been using these as a quick something right after I workout to give e a boost of protein. Not sure they would fill you up as a meal replacement, but for three points they are good source of extra protein...and they are yummy!!!
I don't know how it works but both slim fast shakes and Special K protein shakes DO fill me up. Heck, sometimes I get too full to even finish the whole drink. Maybe that is just me. Anyway, I only use 4 a week to skip 4 meals when I am dieting. I eat Cheerios instead of dinner when dieting as well. Works for me.
