At least you only bought one. I'm sitting here with a friggin' 12-pack (now and forevermore an 11-pack) in my fridge! Hm. Well there's always Ebay. Cate actually, i found it at WALGREEN'S and i had to buy a four pack. i am GOING to find a way to use the stuff, i really am!

Let me know when you do. If only I owned a flock of foraging animals, I'd feed it to them. No human should drink it. Cate You would be arrested for cruelty to animals, lol.

LOL, guess I am among the majority who likes them. Try putting them in the blender with some ice, and giving them more of a milkshake texture Kathy, born Renee Karyn Racine Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence. --Mahatma Gandhi Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I liked the chocolate as well. The vanilla was OK, but the strawberry was pretty nasty. The strawberry Breyers ice cream is very very good! I got some the other day and it is just as tasty as the chocolate. Too bad the Atkins shakes aren't as good as the ice cream. Also, I have tried the chocolate & vanilla varieties of low carb slim-fast shakes. They are similar to Atkins, but have 2 carbs I believe. I think the only shake I have left in te fridge is a vanilla atkins which I intend to mix in a blender with some of the strawberry ice cream for a nice shake. I have not tried the Chocolate Royale or whatever it is called. I don't want something too chocolatey.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > at that goal. > --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I have to confess that I like the shakes that come in the cans, both the Atkins shakes, the LC SlimFast shakes, and the CarbOptions shakes (I also tried the CarbSolutions ones but they are putrid). I like to keep a few cans around for emergencies where I need something to tide me over but just don't have the time and inclination for a meal. The vanilla ones are great with a few splashes of DaVinci syrups in various flavors. Debbie > I liked the chocolate as well.

The CarbSolutions shakes in the bottles were quite good, IMO. I didn't discover them until they were almost discontinued and put on half price. I think they failed mainly because they were a an unknown brand at the time, but were priced as expensive as the Atkins shakes. But then they reformulated the shakes in the cans to be fat-free and low-carb, and they taste like badly-flavored chalk-water.

I had a similar experience yesterday but with another low-carb product. Our local health food store has a range of 'Nature's Best Easy Body Protein Powders' that you mix with hot water. I bought a pack of five tomato soups and tried one. Yuck is just the right word for it. This gunge was salmon pink so didn't even have the decency to look like tomato soup let alone taste even remotely edible. That went straight down the drain and the remaining four went into the trash can. How do these people have the gall to sell such junk on the pretext of it representing some kind of health food?

Well you learn by your mistakes. I did buy the smallest pack as a trial. Brian I don't understand why people buy things like this, find they are TERRIBLE, then don't return them for a refund????? Both the Atkins shakes and the protein powders; why not return them to where you bought them????

I usually don't buy junk like this, but DH and I were on a buying binge at Costco. It's not the first time I've brought home stuff from Costco that I don't need.

Costco will take back pretty much anything, at any time, for any reason. I'd go for a refund!

I've been pretty regular with my meals, and if its getting to be 6 hours and I haven't eaten, these get me by at 2-3 net carbs and I'll have enough stamina to work the rest of the day. Wal-Mart has them for about $6.50 for the 4 pack. I sat through a spread of free pizza one lunch with one of these shakes and could care less about the pizza-I ate a pepperoni slice and walked away. Coworker was amazed. I find It makes me thirsty for more water- a good thing. SignatureDiane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/208/150 5"8 > > > I love the chocolate delight one that comes in the 4 pack.

To try them out, of course. Brian > I don't understand why people buy things like this, find they are > TERRIBLE, then don't return them for a refund????? > Both the Atkins shakes and the protein powders; why not return them to > where you bought them???? It's never occurred to me you can return things just because you don't like the taste. But this is so god-awful that I will. Cate Microwave it for a minute, and it tastes like hot chocolate. I put Rediwhip on it and it is really good. none@none.com I guess you and I are the only ones who drink the shakes. It says to serve cold, and I found them to be an ok emergency food- I keep a few chocolate and strawberry at work, and in the trunk of the car where it is still cold. It tastes better than nothing for lunch when I'm asked to stay. At least I'm getting some vitamins out of it.

The shake mix is the only thing that got me through my TOM chocolate cravings. They weren't bad this time, but they were still there. And while I usually gain and lose 3 pounds each month, this time I gained and lost only 1 1/2. But I still wanted chocolate.

Because I no longer had the proof of purchase. However, I shall let the shop know about my opinion of these products next time I go there. Brian Actually, you have no legal right to return anything. That is, unless the seller actually has specifically added that policy. Pj >I don't understand why people buy things like this, find they are TERRIBLE, >then don't return them for a refund????? [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Brian Rosie, As far as I'm concerned, the words "Atkins" and "Yuk" are synonymous. I have yet to find a single Atkins Nutritionals product that didn't taste disgusting. I try just about any new product that looks like it might actually be low carb. The very few that they make have all ended up in the trash after one serving. A very expensive experiment! -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.
