Atkin's chocolate shake mix

[schaffy]

Hi all. I bought a few atkin's products when I first began this way of eating and among them was the chocolate shake mix (in the powdered form). In my humble opinion, I wouldn't waste the money on 'em ever again! I haven't tried the predone ones that you can get in a can because my experience with the powdered was pretty awful. My rating for this product would be two big thumbs down!

I would be curious to find out if anyone a)enjoyed this powdered mix and b) if anyone has tried the other flavors and found them to be better?

Hi Carrie,
I have bought the vanilla powdered drink one, but now afraid to try it! lol

I am enjoying ...and I really mean ENJOYING the canned ones. Hubby and I are both using them for lunches. The taste great. I keep them in the refrigerator and serve them very cold. Shake em up good first. The vanilla is like drinking a thin milkshake to me. And we both love the chocolate ones too. I have bought the Strawberry too, but haven't tried that yet.

Personally? I'd rather eat saw dust than drink powdered Atkins shake mix. lol I have yet to find a way to make that stuff taste good. - And I don't care how much cream and/or sweetener you add to it.

Bleck!

out of all of the really awful tasting Atkins products I've tried, the shakes & shake mix are the worst. I threw the mix away (along with the 20 bucks I spent on it) I've only been able to force down 1 canned shake so far. Don't waste your money on this stuff. The diet works, but the food really sucks.

I too bought the powder shake mix. Cappacinno............YUCK! But, I found a recipe on the Atkins site for Muffins which called for the shake mix. So I revamped the recipe and using up my mixes for those, made them into a flaxmeal muffin and they are delicious.....so I do not feel like I wasted my money!

I got a delivery of Atkins/low-carb products yesterday. I hadn't been planning to try any of them yet but curiosity got the better of me.

The Keto banana muffin/pancake mix was rather nice with sugarfree chocolate extract. Tasted very much like egg.

The flaxseed/wheat bran 'hot cereal' (can't remember the brand) was truly vile - like sawdust mixed with wallpaper paste. It improved a little with cream and low-carb maple syrup, but then I got absolute confirmation that my body will now not tolerate wheat at all. The world fell out of my bottom, and then I threw up and had really bad stomach cramps. What a way to spend an afternoon in the office

I haven't tried the Atkins shake powders yet but I too have some recipes involving them so I'll adapt them as an occasional experiment.

By and large though I'm going to stick to 'real' food.

The pre-made vanilla and chocolate are good. Can't stomach the strawberry one, though. Sorry.

I wouldn't touch the powder except to cook or bake.

I use the chocolate powder and it's not bad if you mix it in a blender with crushed ice.

I had done Slimfast before and the Atkin shakes are a treat after those. I like to use 3 oz heavy cream with the 5 oz water. Blender with ice cubes and a dash of the Atkins chocolate syrups. I even add my ground flax seed to it and it still is good.

I tried the Chocolate premixed shake and all I can say is CHALK!!! Slim Fast is awesome compared to them!!!
