5.0 out of 5 stars
I loooooooooooove this shake (vanilla and chocolate kind), April 5, 2011
This review is from: Jillian Michaels Pure Protein, Natural Whey Protein, Triple chocolate Shake, 14 Ounce Tub (Health and Beauty)
I love these shakes and I really really hope that they are not discontinued for a long time! (or ever!!)
I use both the vanill and the chocolate kind (not together). I drink it everyday after my workout. It is very refreshing and I feel like it really has been helping my muscle recovery. Not only that, at only 100 calories it is really filling!
I don't really know why others have complained about the flavor of these shakes. I don't expect this to taste like a full fat milkshake, but it is delicious!! I have never tried just mixing it with water, so that might make a difference in taste, but the way I take it everyday is blended in a blender with a cup of ice and a small amount of water. The less water you put in, the more it actually comes out to taste like icecream! Yum!!
I particularly prefer the vanilla flavor one because I like to dump in 1/2 of a banana everytime I make my shake with one scoop of the protein powder. I have found that the banana in the chocolate doesn't taste as great as with the vanilla. My suggestion, get bananas, peel them, cut them in quarters each, put them in a ziplock bag, and freeze them. When making your shake, put in the cup of ice, a small amount of water (maybe 1/2 cup), half of the frozen banana (2 quarters), and blend away. It is sooooooo tasty!! It has become a great comfort food and reward for me after each workout.
In fact, I just ordered 8 more containers (4 chocolate, and 4 vanilla) to have in hand.
This is probably not allowed to be mentioned, but, if you want to save a few more bucks, get these shakes from Walmart.com. Each container costs $10 and shipping is free :)
Go ahead, try this, and be optimistic. The chocolate won't taste like a chocolate bar, but it feels nice and healthy, and does the job.

Decent, although not as much protein as others., February 23, 2011
This review is from: Jillian Michaels Pure Protein, Natural Whey Protein, Triple chocolate Shake, 14 Ounce Tub (Health and Beauty)
I am new to protein shakes, and I didn't want to load up on calories in a drink. I bought this since it only had 100 calories per scoop and a decent amount of protein (15g). Other protein powders usually have at least 20g of protein, but twice the calories. I didn't think this tasted too bad. I mix it with skim milk, half a banana, and ice cubes to make my morning shake and it usually keeps me fairly satisfied until lunch. It's not a "I can't wait to drink this" kind of thing, but it's pretty good for what you get.

Tastes pretty good, but you need a blender/food processor, June 4, 2011
This review is from: Jillian Michaels Pure Protein, Natural Whey Protein, Triple chocolate Shake, 14 Ounce Tub (Health and Beauty)
This stuff isn't too bad. At first, I had no idea there was a plastic scoop inside. lol. I was using 1/4 of a measuring cup and on my third use, I hit the plastic scoop. Good thing I found it.
Mixing it with a spoon into milk is not the best. It doesn't mix well at all and it doesn't have a good taste.
I've found mixing it into a food processor does the trick: mixes well, thick, and better flavor.
It does, however, have an odd aftertaste....
I may repurchase. Not super excited, but not disappointed either.
