Yes | Price you paid?: $7.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: convenience Cons: cost Vanilla and chocolate are great. Left them in the fridge and they got a little frosty. Excellent tasted just like a light shake. powellam Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Location: Flower Mound, TX Posts: 3 Review Date: Sat December 27, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: Good tasting quick meal Cons: Atkins shakes were the first I tried and now after trying two other brands, I still prefer Atkins. Doesn't taste artifical or unnatural. My favorite flavor is vanilla. Review Date: Tue December 30, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.60 | Rating: 10    Pros: Great Chocolate taste Cons: Annmairi Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 3 Review Date: Fri January 2, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Taste, nutrition-packed, convenient Cons: EXPENSIVE Not being a milk drinker or a shake drinker, I can tolerate them. They are very satisfying. The vitaminy taste doesn't bother me. Just wish they weren't so stinking expensive. 2BthinAgain Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Minnesota Posts: 2 Review Date: Fri January 2, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $7.98 | Rating: 8    Pros: good substitute for ice cream or cappicino and healthy Cons: Expensive but not as high as a blizzard from DQ! Overall good but still a chalky flavor or soy. What I did was mix 6 ice cubes mixed in blender with the cafe au lait shake & then topped with ready whip. Reminded me of the frapicinnios ( spelling?) you can buy. My 3 year old loved it!! My 13 year old said YUCK! so its kinda up to the individual.. jjcoff Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Tue January 6, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: convenience and taste/ rich and creamy Cons: price I love the Strawberry, vanilla and Chocolate Royale. They are a little nasty if they are not super cold, but they do make a nice treat. I stick mine in the freezer for a little which to get them a little frothy and I love them! They do have a little bit of an after-taste, but it's okay to me. The Chocolate De-lite and Cafe were a little disappointing. Kayjwag MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $7.89 | Rating: 10    Pros: Delicious-Easy to find locally Cons: expensive but worth it Chocolate Royale,Stawberry,Vanilla~Favorites Nice thick texture. Great for Breakfast! I will continue to buy these. These are the best compared to all the others. chicarae Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Texas Posts: 6 Review Date: Sun January 11, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: good taste Cons: I would buy these again. They are not filling enough to be a meal replacement, so that makes them a bit expensive. They do taste good, though. I tried the vanilla. csis Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Ketchikan, AK Posts: 2 Review Date: Fri January 16, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $8.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: taste good Cons: not filling enough I have tried the cheap low carb drinks, but they just don't taste as good as the Atkins shakes. Some of those cheap shakes are downright nasty! I just wish that one of these shakes would fill me up so I wouldn't be tempted to eat more. Terri H Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 12 Review Date: Sat January 17, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $7.98 | Rating: 3    Pros: Creamy and thick Cons: Hard to get past the smell The smell is to hard to get past. You can even smell them in the isle at the store! However if you can get past the smell, the chocolate was my favorite. Divided Sky Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Maine Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun January 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Taste, Low in carbs (especially Vanilla) Cons: Price, which I'll trade for health any day Much of the time, the low-carb industry tries to create a substitute for products that by their very nature, absolutely need large carbohydrates in them in order for it to even be edible - and they fail miserably. Try some Atkins Mac & Cheese, or pizza crust, and you'll know exactly what I'm saying. They should just come right out and tell you, “Ok, remember pizza? Wave goodbye and write to it often.” Fortunately, shakes are not one of these foods. These are absolutely delicious. If you REALLY search hard, you might find a "fake sugar" aftertaste (especially in the strawberry), but for a 1g or 2g per serving low sugar substitute, Atkins nailed this one easily. I'd be swilling these things down even if I weren’t on Atkins. Someone email me if it’s ok to add alcohol to one of these - I'm looking to get my Saturday Night back. iamqueenie Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2003 Location: Salem, Or. Posts: 9 Review Date: Mon January 19, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $9.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: Taste, low in carbs and very filling Cons: Very expensive in my opinion Due to the fact that in my area, these drinks cost about $2.50 each, I don't plan on having them very often! However, the chocolate that I tried was very good so long as it was VERY COLD. In my opinion, it was extremely filling and almost more than I can drink at one sitting. The good news might be that a local store is now selling these drinks along with a presently limited number of other Atkin products at somewhat of a discount. I had to chuckle at the poster above who stated that she could "smell these drinks in the aisles where she shops". Great nose! Personally, I can't smell anything that in packaged in a can! LOL foxkat Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2002 Posts: 5 Review Date: Mon January 19, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: fast, some good tasting, portable Cons: some bad tasting, price The Chocolate Royale and reg. Chocolate are very good. The strawberry and vanilla so-so. The Cafe Au Lait is terrible-yuck! These do have to be served as cold as possible to avoid the funny aftertaste. In a crunch for time and hungry, these work great as a meal replacement. hpellot Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Mon February 2, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Taste Good Cons: I have had many shakes and bar far these are the best. I tried the chocolote royal excellent. BBUFFING Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Centerburg, OH Posts: 16 Review Date: Mon February 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: NONE Cons: Taste, texture, cost Yuk. I really didn't like anything about these and ended up throwing them out. They have a nasty after-taste, but the initial taste isn't much better, as it has a strong soy flavor. The texture is chalky and the price is ridiculous. KetoShakes are much better if you are looking for a LC meal replacement. Merryll Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: Southcoast Massachusetts Posts: 4 Review Date: Thu March 4, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: None Cons: Terrible after-taste, not at all palitable I bought a 4-pack of the Chocolate Royale and I couldn't even finish the first can, it was so bad. I thought I was disgusting. I tried again a week later, but this time I first put it into the freezer for a 1/2 an hour so it would be super cold, still ended up pouring it out and then threw the other 2 cans away. YUCK!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: Great taste--very filling Cons: Vanilla is like thick whole milk-yuck Yummy and easy to have on the go! I wish they weren't so $$$, but it's worth it when you need something, quick and easy. pook Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Mission Viejo, CA Posts: 5 Review Date: Mon March 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $7.95 | Rating: 9    Pros: quick replacement meal that tastes good! Cons: Haven't found any! I have tried Carborite and Keto RTD shakes and so far I think Atkins is the best. I recently bought ABB PurePro shakes, but haven't had a chance to try them yet. I actually liked all the flavors I tried with Chocolate, Vanilla and Cafe Au Lait being my favorites. You really have to shake these very well or else they will taste sweet when you first start drinking them and then gradually go bland. They definitely taste much better super cold. I had the strawberry the other day when it was extremely hot here in So. Cal and it was very refreshing. I'm not sure why everyone hates the coffee flavor, because it just tastes like a less sweet version of the Starbucks Frappucinos in the bottles. At about the same price as Starbucks, I find these are actually a much healthier replacement to my usual morning mocha or latte. ljj2meow Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: West Coast Posts: 1 Review Date: Sat March 13, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Really good taste Cons: price If you've ever had slim-fast, they taste about the same. I have only had the Chocolate Delight & the Chocolate Royal and I prefer the Delight. I actually look forward to having these and they really satisfy my craving for a snack. DarkCrow Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Location: Puyallup, WA Posts: 3 Review Date: Sun April 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Low carbs, not a bad taste Cons: expensive I was expecting these to not only be totally disgusting, but to taste like the can. I was quite surprised, they are actually pretty good! I've tried all the flavors, and I'd have to say that the regular chocolate and the coffee one are my least favorite. bablondie25 Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2003 Location: The Great Northwest Posts: 52 Review Date: Thu June 3, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: Good tasting Cons: soy! SOY IS BAD FOR PEOPLE I LOVE THESE, yet soy is horrible for people in mass quantities. If you look at all the food nowdays, especially lowcarb you are getting too much soy! Soy is horrible for thyroids and people with auto-immune diseases (ie. diabetes, etc), and horrible if your family has this kind of history, too. Gosh dang, I wish they would stop making everything with MALTITOL (A LAXITIVE SWEETNER) AND SOY. sugarfreedee MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Delicious Cons: none In order for this product to taste its best it MUST be served ice cold. I LOVE the strawberry and Cafe au lait shakes and I have at least one a day. ewathen Junior LCF Member Registered: June 2004 Posts: 4 Review Date: Thu June 17, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Pros: Great for a quick on the go meal! Cons: a Bit pricey The chocolate has a bit of a metal aftertaste. But overall the flavor was much better than the powder mix. The strawberry was much better.
