I think the K20 protein drinks are fantastic. I am a vegetarian and am always looking for ways to supplement my protein intake.

I first tried the actual bottled drinks for K2O; I was disappointed that there was only about 5g of protein (about 2/3 cup of milk), but when I tried the drink and found, not only no aftertaste as many of the other protein drinks out there have, but excellent flavors... I was hooked. My problem is that even in bulk... they were priced at around $2 a bottle (around $24 for 12 bottles) which is out of my budget.

Then came the powders which you can just mix in a 16-20 oz cup or bottle of water. If I buy a case of bulk water at my local warehouse for around $5 (or just use filtered water at home) the cost for 28 bottles is now anywhere from about $5-$10 less than the price of only 12 premixed bottles. Plus they are significantly easier to transport to work.

Now I have the best of all worlds... added protein to my vegetarian diet... low calorie, great tasting drinks... and a very reasonable price. I have them on subscription now!

I really love this product. I know that a lot of people will say it's unnecessary and expensive. However, I think it's actually quite useful. It provides 5gm of protein and 5gm of fiber per serving and it tastes delicious. So for anyone who's trying to drink water all day but would like some flavor, this is perfect and it also adds some fiber and protein to keep you from getting hungry between meals.

The Iced Tea flavor is by far the best in my opinion. The Kiwi Strawberry is pretty good and the Pink Lemonade is a distant 3rd. My wife thinks a full pack of the Iced Tea flavor in a 16oz bottled water is a little too sweet, so she uses about 1/2 a pack. But I like a full pack, to me it's like drinking the sweet iced tea I grew up on.

Alright, first time reviewer here! I would like to say I find this product irreplaceable now, and I will be using it a lot in the future. The package as you can see comes with 5 grams of whey protein and fiber, and if you know whey protein then you know it is very important to ingest fiber along with it. It will allow your body time to absorb/metabolize the protein better... or at least so I read in Men's Health! Feel free to check that out yourself. As for the taste, one packet is _VERY_ sweet, and I use it in a 32 oz water bottle along with fresh fruit and it works wonderfully. I'll eat a healthy breakfast and lunch, and typically I would be hungry again by 3 to 4pm, but with one packet of the K2O I can easily fend off the cravings until 6 or 7pm, as I drink it slowly. It has been one of those wonderful miracle items for me that I will continue to use for some time.

I like the high protein/fiber and low calories. But this didn't taste like real tea. I have also tried the kiwi strawberry and pink lemonade. I like the pink lemonade best and kiwi strawberry least. Overall, the product is not bad. It dissolves completely and does not have aftertaste. I just wish it would taste more like real iced tea. It reminds me of those dry tea mixes. Give it a try. But before buying a bunch of one single flavor, try them all first.

I bought cases of this directly from Amazon. Love the product. One box of 7 servings is $4.95.
Six boxes of this should be just under $30.00. Why is this seller charging well over double the
price plus shipping? What a rip off.

I got this because I am a major snacker and I wanted to try something that would help me not eat between meals. My previous experiences with water "mixes" like this had not been good - too sweet, off flavors, etc. I was skeptical that this would really help curb snacking and stave off hunger between meals but I was pleasantly surprised - it actually does work. I can drink some of this an hour or so after a meal and I honestly do not get hungry or want to eat again for at least another hour and a half or so, by which time it's time for another scheduled snack or meal.

I am only giving it four stars because like most products of this type, a whole envelope is way.too.sweet. I have been using half a packet in 20 oz of water and it still works to curb hunger. Even half a packet is kind of much for me. But I love the protein and fiber content and it's worth it to me. In addition to water, try adding this to unsweetened iced tea with some lemon in it - very yummy!

I absolutely LOVE this product. I am a diabetic and also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, so it's hard for me to eat regular food sometimes. This is a fantastic alternative for me to get more protein--which helps my blood sugars and the fiber is a benefit for my IBS. I've tried the Strawberry Kiwi and the lemonade--those were OK, but this one is great. I love Crystal light iced tea and this is even better than that. As a bonus, I've lost 16lbs since using this product! It helps by holding off my hunger--when I'd normally not eat anything and I truly think by adding this to my day, it keeps my metabolism elevated, instead putting it in starvation mode when I wouldn't eat for 4-5 hours at a time. Definitely recommend this product and especially this flavor--YUM!!

I thought I liked this at first, but it is really gritty. The pink lemonade one is the best so far...

As a gastric bypass patient, I'm always looking for "snacks" that are either "low in calories, high in protein," etc. and this fits both bills. Even has 5 grams of fiber, and who CAN'T use more of that in their lives, huh?

K2O is by far one of the greatest drinks out there - easy to mix, dissolves amazingly well, very healthily... and it tastes great! Each packet contains a nice 5g of both Fiber & Protein, both of which us most people don't get enough of these days. Iced Tea is probably the worst flavor of the 3 currently available, but it's still good. I still order plenty to have the full variety of flavors available when I get thirsty.
