Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
I have tried a lot of protein shake brands over the years, including other Muscle Milk products, so I was interested to see how this new formula stacked up.
I have ADHD so it’s a challenge to find a quick lunch on busy days that won’t derail my focus. I found myself reaching for this Vanilla Crème shake on busy days when stopping for a full meal isn’t an option. Protein is critical for making my ADHD medication function its best, so 26g of protein in an easy to drink format is exactly what I need to keep my head in the game.
Texture and taste:
One thing I immediately liked was the consistency. It’s thinner than other protein shake options, making it much easier to drink and more palatable. It is also one of the sweeter protein drinks I have tried.
It’s sweetened naturally with Stevia, so that’s a huge win if you are avoiding artificial sweeteners. However, it does have a distinct Stevia aftertaste. The aftertaste doesn’t last long so I found myself buying more, even with the taste, because the texture is so much better than other options.
The macros:
The overall macros are pretty good for a work day fuel-up, with 26g of protein for only 170 calories. However, I wish it had more fiber to help me stay full for longer. It only has 1g of fiber, and I prefer shakes that are in the 4g area.
Overall, I’d say it’s a great option for a convenient fuel up when life gets too busy for a full meal.
