Product Review - Protein/Energy Drink
TGIF Friday, December 10, 2010
I was asked by Andrea Vincent, founder of seeMommyrun.com, to review the drinks above. There are 4 flavors - Chocolate, Cappuccino, Vanilla & Spiced Chai. You can also see the nutritional stats. All 4 flavors have similar stats but you can go to the site, Sveltebrand, to check out the products & more about the company, prices and where you can buy them if you are interested in trying them out.
I tried the Spiced Chai & the Cappuccino and my hubby tried the Chocolate & Vanilla. I did NOT tell my hubby that it was soymilk vs. regular ole milk. I know, sneaky!!!
Now, these are LARGE containers - at least for me. My hubby said it was a lot for him too so it is easy to break this up into two servings vs. one serving.
On the flavor, I LOVED the cappuccino! YUM! The Spiced Chai actually reminded me of a holiday spice drink. The flavor was good but not something I would want to drink all at one time. I suppose those of you that like tea & drink chai tea would really like this flavor. Again, I liked it but not as much as the Cappuccino. My hubby liked both the chocolate & vanilla & had no idea it was soymilk for those that want to sneak this to their kids or hubbies or significant others.
On to the stats. For me, I do not prefer that many carbs when I have a drink like this but again, I would not drink the whole carton at once. Also, it depends on when & for what reason you are drinking this. If you are on the go, it might be a good make up of carbs & proteins for you. It has fiber too. Yes, there are sugars but not excessively high especially for a drink on the go. AND, it will fill you up if you decide to drink the whole carton or sip it over a period of time. I would definitely think of buying it out & about for a meal if need be...
Price - A case of 12 is $35.99. If you want a mix of all 4 drinks, the case price is $37.99. For me, if I did drink things like this more often, it still seems sort of pricey. It all depends on your own personal preference & what you are willing to pay. The drinks are also available at stores. You can check out where HERE.
There ya have it. A new option to check out for a drink on the go OR one to buy if your local store has it.
Anybody try these yet??? If yes, your thoughts.
This came thru my email later yesterday so added to this post: 13 Million Packs of Rolaids Recalled - Rolaids Softchews May Contain Wood, Metal Particles

I have not tried this drink. But, I do love drinks with high protein for on the go. I'll be sure to keep my eye open for these-thxs for sharing!

Way too many carbs as I see it, doubt I would buy it for that reason honestly.
Have a great weekend!

I've never seen those before- thanks for the review! I would rather chew my calories but those look perfect for the days where your out and about and need the energy!

April.. again, I am like you! I rather chew the food but if I am caught in a bind, this is a good option for a meal, especially if I will not eat for a few hours vs. my mini meals.

Thanks for the review. I have not tried this one. I use to drink some protein drinks when I was working retail and would need to have something to keep my blood sugar up when I would have to work through my usual lunch time. I don't usually need these types of drinks anymore since I can eat at meal times.
I like many others, like to chew my calories.

Hmmmmmm.... these look pretty good. I'll have to shoplift some soon.

I'm not much of a shake drinker, although I will make a smoothie from time to time. (I'd rather chew my calories.) I also think that seems a tad pricey, especially since I'd have to mail order and pay shipping. Then again, if I tasted it and liked it, $3+ per pkg might not seem too high at all.
