Today’s protein shake reviews are for two really good ones.
First I tried Super Coffee Protein. I wasn’t sure if this one would count toward a chocolate shake. The flavor was mocha. This one was super creamy and it had a nice coffee and chocolate taste. With 150 calories, 25 grams of protein, 8 carbs, 5 grams of fiber and 1 g sugar, this was delicious. I give it 4 stars.
The second shake I tried in this batch was Slate Ultra Protein. At 130 calories and 30 grams of protein, this was a tasty choice. With 3 g of carbs, 1 g fiber, and 1 g sugar, it was a good choice with less calories and sugar. I give this one 4.25 stars out of 5.
Today we are going to taste Fairlife Core Power and Muscle Milk.
First up … Fairlife Core Power. This one has 170 calories, 26 G protein, 8 g carbs, 2 g fiber, and 5 g sugar. It is very creamy and has a nice chocolate flavor. I really liked this one. 4 stars.
Muscle Milk – sounds like something that a body builder would drink, doesn’t it? It has 170 calories, 25 G protein, 11 g carbs, 6 g fiber, and 0 g sugar. I had high hopes for this one. First, the smell is not pleasant. It smells like medicine. While it starts out creamy, it quickly turns chalky. It lacked a chocolaty taste. I had two sips and I was done. This is a pass for me. 0 stars
Is there a “health” food or healthy recipe you would like me to try or compare? Let me know in the comments.
Since starting a GLP-1 three weeks ago, I’ve had to concentrate on getting enough protein. I try to have 30 grams of protein by 9 am. This can be a challenge. One way to do this is to have a protein shake. If I don’t have time to mix one up, I like to grab a bottle or can of already made shake. But, which is my favorite? I decided to get as many shakes as I can for a taste test. I’m going to try two, write my review on them. Then when I have finally made my way through all of them, I will do a summary. To help compare apples to apples, I am sticking with all chocolate flavors.
First up is the Oikos Protein Shake. I love Oikos yogurt, so I have high hopes for this one. With 30 grams of protein, 180 calories, and only 1 gram of sugar, this shake helped me hit my 30 by 9 am. This had a great chocolate taste but was not a creamy experience. For 10 minutes after finishing it, there was a weird aftertaste in my mouth. Passable but not my favorite. 2.5 out of 5.
The second shake I tried was the Nutri Chocolate Milk Shake. This one has 30 grams of protein and 1 g sugar, just like the Oikos but it has 30 less calories. This one was nice and creamy and the chocolate taste was so good. I didn’t get any aftertaste. I will probably try more of this brand. 4 out of 5.
I believe I have 7 more shakes to try. Stay tuned for more chocolate protein shake reviews.
If you have any taste test suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
