Now...you pay more for less, the packaging is wasteful and difficult to open on the run. Plus the chocolate flavor is too concentrated. I have to add a little skim milk and ice and shake very well. Then it's a decent chocolate smoothie.
But the old one was much better, had a straw and was much easier to use.
Why mess with a good thing???
Fudge Chocolate Taste and Very Convenient
The chocolate flavor tastes great. It is a deep dark chocolate (like fudge). Only 90 calories, and with lots of fiber and protein to keep you full between meals.
The ingredients are all natural. The previous poster who talked about sugar alcohol doesn't understand basic chemistry. Erythritol is a naturally-occurring sweetener that is found in many vegetables and fruits. It's not very popular in this country, but it has been used for many years in Asia and other parts of the world. It is much better than artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Equal, which come from a chemical plant. It also does not spike your blood sugar like refined sugar or corn syrup does. This helps you feel full without feeling hyped up.
Saying that the product is full of dead culture is also misleading. The primary ingredient is yogurt. Although probiotics such as bifidobacterium and lactobacillusse that you would find in plain yogurt are not present in this product, that is not necessarily a bad thing---you just don't get the benefit of them. The ingredients are still healthy and all natural. You'll just have to get your probiotics somewhere else.
Dextrin is a form of starch that comes from potatoes, and is used to thicken the smoothie. Calcium lactate is found naturally in many foods (backing powder, cheeses) and is a good source of calcium for bones/teeth. Dipotassium phosphate and potassium citrate are good sources of potassium.
These smoothies are amazing, especially the chocolate. One of these and a piece of fruit as a snack keeps me full and satisfied. Tried the strawberry smoothie and was not impressed, but if you love chocolate as much as I do you will love these! Enjoy!
WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT. REALLY TAKES THE EDGE OFF WHEN I AM HUNGRY, AND THE HUNGER STAYS AWAY UNTIL MEAL TIME. DELICIOUS, ONLY 90 SMALL CALORIES AND A WHOPPING 5 GRAMS OF FIBER TO BOOT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
