Designer Wellness Protein Smoothie, Real Fruit, 12g Protein, Low Carb, Zero Added Sugar, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, No Artificial Colors or Flavors, Super Fruits Variety Pack, 12 Count

Great to have for on the go and to help hit protein goals. Did not taste as bad as other protein shakes. Tasted best chilled. I also froze them and then enjoyed them semi- frozen.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Tasted great but there is milk in this :(

The flavor is fine, good actually. But the texture! I really have trouble not gagging. I have to just swallow it as fast as I can. I knead the pouch over and over and shake it and knead it some more. But it doesn't change the texture. It's just weird, like smooth and lumpy at the same time. I really wish it wasn't that way, because it's basically a good product, and very handy. But I just can't do it. I will finish what I have, it's too pricey to waste EDITED 6-28-23 TO ADD: I want to add to my review to reflect that someone from Designer Wellness emailed me and offered me a refund and apologized for my dislike. (They did NOT ask me to modify or take back my review-they just offered me a refund.) And I did receive a full refund. I wanted to add this because I think that speaks highly of the company.

I have been searching for something outside of protein shakes & thought I’d give these a try since I’m desperate for weight gain. I really tried to like these. But I can’t get past the chalky taste. I don’t know if I need to blend them with some oat milk, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having something I can just grab & go. It’s a good idea in theory, just needs some work on the flavor. A shame too, since they weren’t cheap.

So finding high protein sources that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and isn’t disgusting (yo everyone’s tastebuds are different and heck mine aren’t even the same just after the surgery everything is different) But this item while a bit chalky or powdery aftertaste feeling the item itself isn’t bad and if eaten slowly but steadily (for those after surgery) it’s not half bad and you get used to it
