chocolate protein shakes

I love a good chocolate shake, but I do have some lactose issues, so I don’t indulge as often as I’d like. Then I found these shakes. They are packed with protein, have added fiber, and are lactose and gluten free. They work well as a quick meal replacement, but they could also work as a supplement if you know someone who struggles to get enough nutrition.

Each of these chocolate shakes have 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber, but they don’t taste like nutrition shakes. They are delicious, thick and chocolatey. And they come in convenient packages like a juice box, with a straw that extends.

My one issue is with the straw. The first one I tried, I stuck the straw through the foil like I was taught to do growing up with those silver packets of juice from the 1980s. But as I drank it, I was sucking the air out of the package, causing it to make a big slurping sound as it drew the air back in. The next time, I pulled the foil sticker back and used the straw that way, and it was much more successful for me. Now, I just drink them through that serving hole without the straw, but you can also pour them out from there and drink from a cup, if that’s easier.

Overall, I am very happy with these shakes. They are easy to grab and take with you, they are well balanced nutritionally, and they are chocolatey and delicious.
