oh man... this was YUCK! daughter #2 brought me home a chocolate delight shake... wanted me to try it..*gulp*... i remember people saying to make it cold.. FREEZER! ahhhhhhhhhh cold.. got fancy glass.. poured it in... sat down to enjoy.. YUCK... so thick.. (okay.. i dont like REGULAR SHAKES ..) smelled like VITAMINS (okay.. i dont like vitamins) tasted like powder milk chocolate (OKAY.. REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLY dont like that)
so... did i do everything right.. but this stuff is just my cuppa tea?
now if she had gotten the COFFEE flavored kind... we might have had a plan.. but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO she got chocolate..
anywho.. i finally poured it over ice.. *gag*... better.. but dang... are they always that thick? nasty nasty nasty.

I have found the pre-mixed shakes to be yucccky, too.

I have used the Atkins chocolate shake (made from powder) but always "spiked" it up with a little more chocolate, vanilla, heavy cream and splenda. Then I make it up in the blender with a couple of ice cubes.

Much better.

Still treat them as emergency rations.

thanks for the input.. i may try the coffee flavored if she gets it.. but since i dont like ice cream shakes anyway... (actually i dont like ice cream at all...) i probably wouldnt ever have one again...

I like the vanilla Atkins shakes, but for more just the ease. It is thick and not really 'shake'-y - but is a good easy fix.
I usually don't like the powders, but I got started on the Curves protein shake, and make it with skim milk, some ice cubes in the blender and it is quite good.

I absolutely love the Atkins chocolate pre-mixed shakes. I am absolutely addicted to them. Have about 5 per week. But at $6.50au they are rather pricy.

I have tried the powder shake to mix yourself and found it tasted like powder. Horrible stuff!!!. and $31 down the drain.

I am not even going to ask for an explanation, because whatever you say, I won't be able to understand. Ice cream is my biggest weakness. If I didn't have access to low carb ice cream, I would have quit this woe after 6-8 weeks. I love the shakes as well. If it weren't for their price, I would probably have one or two a day.

I didn't like the chocolate delight one (I think that's the name) much but I do like the Chocolate Royale and the Cafe au Lait. VERY VERY cold and well-shaken!

Hmmm, life without ice cream - nope, does not compute! LOL!
