Essentials Protein Shake

I like this protein shake in chocolate and vanilla flavors for my high protein and low carb diet. The texture is very smooth and the flavors are very pleasant compared to similar products. This protein shake is a huge improvement over the original canister of Slimfast powder.

I had a fall in June (completely klutzy thing). I am older and am in fairly good shape, normal weight, and though I didn't break any bones, I was feeling very weak. I started to read about the important role of protein in recovery and building muscle strength. While I am not vegan, I know I don't get enough protein in my diet. I found this shake on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I've reordered it 6 times because I love it so much. I get the chocolate and it's delicious. Ever since I started drinking it, I feel stronger. Sometimes I even drink 2 of the shakes per day, because I've read that you need more protein as you get older. I've also lost a couple of pounds, although that wasn't my goal. I would recommend this to anyone interested in improving their health. It also contains calcium, always a plus. Two thumbs up!

Delicious!

Tasty and contains lots of good vitamins. Love the protein content. Wish they would replace the sucralose with allulose.

My go to drink before an exercise class. High protein low sugar and carbs

Delivered as promised

When I drink one in the morning I go about 5 hours before I feel hungry. In the evening if I get hungry I take a little of the drink and it is satisfying.

For years I have raved about the upgraded SlimFast Rich Chocolate flavor (not the cheap original still available). Regretfully, the premium Rich Chocolate flavor was discontinued in September, 2025. It was suggested that I switch to "Rich Chocolate Royale." Unfortunately, this shake is thinner and much less creamy, The flavor itself is ok but has an aftertaste. In addition, this week the price increased 20%. The positives: There are 20 fewer calories and the shake has more protein (30%) I do not recommend this product.
