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.

Loved- bottle was not bulky and fits easily in car cup holder, not difficult or heavy to pack, vanilla flavor was great- my favorite- smelled lovely also. Tough to believe it was so sweet, but not too sweet and good for me!! Good shelf life also!

This is my first time trying muscle milk and I do love the smell of the flavor of this protein shake. Nice bottle shape to hold and carry while on the go.

I think I could do it in a pinch… I’m more of a chocolate gal, but it works to slam some protein in! Has a bit of an aftertaste/feel… not the hugest fan of that but that often comes with the protein drink territory.

I appreciate the higher quality ingredients compared to the other high protein, ultra filtered milk competitors. However, the flavor and texture isn’t quite as good comparably. This would still be a beverage of choice, especially when trying to avoid artificial sweeteners. The texture was a little chalkier than expected, but still smooth and creamy. The vanilla flavor was great. The drink was filling and was great for a pick me up during a busy day of taking care of the kids, running errands, and taking care of chores!

A perfect on the go protein source. I love to drink it when I’m in the middle of work. As a busy small business owner I need fast meals and this is perfect. Yummy chocolate taste & smooth finish.

Same flavor as usual Vanilla Muscle Milk. It was definitely filling. With it had more of a thicker consistency but it was good. Nice and filling.

Thank you so much for sending this. A few things about this protein shake: It has a high amount of protein, 26 grams, which is great. I like the flavor, not too sweet or thick , which is nice. It doesn't have the best ingredients though, but I guess it's ok. Thank you
