Atkins shakes... love em, or hate em?
 

Looking at placing an order today and thinking about adding a few cans to it... never tried them. Yay or nay?

Your favorite/least favorite flavors?

I don't drink them too often - but I keep them around for emergencies and my fave is strawberry.

I often have one a day for breakfast and the only flavor I like is vanilla. For me it is better than skipping a meal which is what I would do otherwise.

Love em....I usually have one for breakfast each day. I like the Chocolate Delite.

I've only tried the chocolate "delite" and strawberry, at first strawberry seemed reallygood, but then over time I kind of grew to dislike it, and have to alternate w/the chocolate so I don't get too put off. they are excelent for an emergency, or if you just don't feel like anything else is appitizing. they are v. filling.

I usually have one or two per week, mostly as a quick meal along with some cheese cubes. I LOVE the Atkins Vanilla....they are the tops in my book.

chocolate chocolate chocolate...the best way to go with all the shakes....the other ones seem to have a funny after taste to me

I did not care for them... in fact the only shake I can stand is one made with Designer Whey.

4beans,

I FAR prefer Keto shakes!

The Chocolate is good, and Cappucino is to die for! :)

Also, do the LC shakes taste anything like SlimFast? :Puke:

I like the Chocolate Delight, but didn't care for the Chocolate Royale. Haven't tried the other flavours.

Perhaps you should see if you can taste test a couple before stocking up? We all have different taste buds.Our local grocery now stocks them in single cans.

I buy the creamy vanilla-then add flavors to it if I want.
I like them-one will last as sipping snack keeps me out of other stuff..even I won't eat cookies washed down with Atkins.
No aftertaste like the EAS shakes but your preferences may vary.

Maybe I am just weird but I liked the powdered shake mixes better than the ready made cans. I used to mix the chocolate with half and half, water, kahluah divinci syrup a tsp of instant coffee and ice cubes. The strawberry powder wasn't bad either with a little bit of half and half and frozen strawberries. :) I never got around to trying the vanilla though.

I think the Atkins shake, at least the vanilla, is guh-ross. It tastes like a piece of chalk ground up and mixed with seltzer, plus some weird vanilla flavor. The Keto shakes are a million zillion times better. I hope you haven't already made the mistake of buying the Atkins one, but if you have, and you think it's as nasty as I do, just get a can of Keto and mix them half and half to use it up. The Keto is so much better that it can almost fix the vile Atkins taste. (It's best on its own, though!)

Keto shakes come in lots of flavors; the vanilla regular and soy are great. The chocolate, regular or soy, is pretty ok, the cappuccino tastes nothing like cappuccino but is pretty tasty anyway, the orange cream is pretty good, especially goosed with some orange and vanilla DaVinci syrup. Chocolate peanut butter wasn't so hot, but if you added some actual PB to it it might be okay. Strawberry is pretty good, too.

Compared to the Slimfast, I like the Atkins brand. They don't taste anything like one another. I was hoping to really like the Slimfast, because they are so much less expensive. Nah, darn it.

strawberry was yukky for me (ready made anyway) had an awfull after taste...loved the chocolate!! but I love most chocolate drinks LOL

hmmm i've never tried any of the shakes, though my husband drinks them, he likes the strawberry and the chocolate delight =)

I like the chocolate! They've been great for breakfast emergencies!

I tried some of the canned stuff and thought it was the absolute worst thing I ever tasted. It tasted like I was drinking the can itself. Abotu the only way I can stand Atkins shakes is to mix 1 scoop of the powder in with 1/2 cup yogurt.

I've tried both Chocolate flavors and like them both. Sometimes I can get them on sale at 4 cans for $4.99.

I love the Chocolate Delight can. It's 5 carbs but 4 fiber, net 1. It's my breakfast every week day.

I didn't like the Atkins choc shake mix. Never tried another flavor of the cans. The slim-fast lo-carb is yucky-sweet tasting.

I like the two chocolates, the vanilla, and the cappuchino, but the strawberry is disgusting. YMMV, obviously. One thing, though--for my taste buds to appreciate the flavor of the shake, I have to get it out of the can and into a glass. Otherwise, LadyBelle got it in one--all I taste is the can.

I haven't tried them yet, but plan to get some next time I am at Sam's Club. Just to keep on hand for emergencies. Thanks for the heads up on which kinds to avoid!

I buy the chocholate ones for those days that time is short or need a pick me up on the go.

I love the Atkins ready to drink shakes, but YUCK on their powdered ones.
Faves: Cafe Au lait and chocolate. They have to be VERY cold. Pack a glass full of ice and pour the shake in it. Let it sit for several minutes to get super cold. No nasty mucous consistency or taste that way. :)

I love the atkins shakes I haven't had one in forever but last time I low carbed I drank them quite a bit. the slim fast low carb shakes are not good at all. Also, EAS has a pretty good low carb shake, although its a little on the watery side.

You guys are so lucky that the Atkin's products are available to you in your stores. Us Canadians pay a whole lot more for the stuff, and our stores only carry a select few things like the Advantage bars. I can't wait to try the shakes!!!! :rolleyes:

The chocolate delight is good. Strawberry is DISGUSTING! I've not tried the vanilla.

I like the Chocolate Delight, Vanilla, and Strawberry ready-to-drink shakes , but not the Cappucino. But I have to pour them into a glass or drink them with a straw or they taste like the can.

LOVE the vanilla! I used to hate them though... they are definitely an acquired taste.
