Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan, High Protein Ready To Drink Shake, Extra Creamy Chocolate, 11-Ounce Cans in 4-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I cannot compare the different flavors of the slim fast line, but I have have tried this (High Protein), the Lo Carb, and the Optima.
The Optima tastes the best, but has less Protein than the others.
The High Protein has a . . . well . . . a thick taste to it that I kind of don't like but I've gotten used to it. I think it's a flavor associated with the added protein, as I've tasted this in other high protein drinks before. I realize that 'thick' is not actually a taste :-) but I cant find the words to describe it.
Then having read that the Lo Carb slim fast actually had more protein than the High Protein drink, I figured that I better give it a try YUCK!. To each their own as they say, but it tasted like saccharin coated chalk with chocolate.
Back to the review of the Chocolate Slim-Fast High Protein drink. It tastes good enough to me, not quite as good as the optima, but a close second and it has the extra protein that my doc recommended for my diet. OH, and I'm loosing weight. Of course it's the other things that I'm eating through the day that are making the difference. As they say, slim fast for lunch and a sensible meal for dinner, ect ect.
I'm going to stick to the High Protein but I intend to try some other flavors out. I'll post what I find.

Slim-Fast Optima Ready To Drink Shake, 11-Ounce Cans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been drinking these for about 4 years now, usually 1 a day, and they work pretty well for weight maintenance. When trying to lose weight, I will usually substitute one meal a day with a Slim Fast - breakfast or lunch. I also have these for breakfast a lot, simply because I can grab one from the fridge and drink it in 30 seconds, which is great when I'm in a hurry, and because I always make sure to eat something for breakfast.
Usually however, I drink these in the mornings before a run so that I will have some food in my body to fuel the run. Since it is basically a liquid, it doesn't upset my stomach if I drink it right before I head out the door.
I can't attest to the other flavors, but Rich Chocolate Royale tastes fairly decently. I never crave the taste of a Slim Fast, and I am not fooled into thinking I am drinking a milkshake, but they do taste pretty good.
Finally, the great thing about Slim Fast is the nutritional makeup. It has 6g of fat, which can be misleading since an amazing 3g of that is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated (good fats). The best part about slim Fast are the 5g of fiber and 10g of Protein in each can, which are very high amounts. This makes it great for a post run/workout drink as well.
My only problem with Slim Fast, is that one can is likely not going to be enough to work as a meal replacement for many people. It is just not enough food. I have heard if you try drinking it slowly it helps, but I usually find myself hungry a couple hours after drinking one. For people under 150 lbs it may be enough, but I would almost recommend two Slim Fasts as a meal replacement for anyone trying to lose a significant amount of weight. There is no way I could replace two meals a day with Slim Fasts (like their ads say), then have a "sensible" dinner. I would be starving. But it is a great product as a snack or before a workout.
