I tried the Muscle Milk vanilla creme shake, and I was impressed by the 26 grams of protein as well as significant amounts of calcium and vitamin D. The milky shake was not chalky or overly thick. The bottle is a convenient single serving that is easy to carry with you. The shake is ideal for after-workout recovery or to counter mid-afternoon energy slumps. I also thought that the value was good considering the amount of nutrition you get. What I didn't care for was the taste of the stevia as a sweetener. I would much prefer a reasonable amount of regular sugar instead, as this isn't meant to be a low calorie drink.
