I am a huge fan of LightFull Smoothies because all flavors are only 1 weight watchers point. This is especially amazing for this flavor because it is chocolate - something I crave every afternoon and evening. It's a great way to feed my sweet tooth, but it is only 90 calories and has a lot of fiber too. Also, no artificial sweeteners which is key because I can't stand splenda.

I saw these in a local grocery store in the Organic aisle. Being new to the organic food items, I am always a bit nervous when buying flavored items because you never know if it's going to taste like chalk or what! I started out just buying a chocolate flavor one just to try. I ended up going back on my next grocery trip and buying up the entire chocolate stock (they only had six left) and since then I buy them regularly and love the Cafe Latte flavor the best! I generally drink them for a snack or an on-the-go smoothie to get me through a bit longer when I don't have time to make a sandwich. My mom is diabetic and I have recommended them to her since the fiber is so high and has all natural sweeteners that won't spike her blood sugars. I highly recommend this product, it's healthy, tastes really good, and actually does a good job of tying you over until you can get to real food! I know my store prices them at $2.49 each but sometimes runs specials, for me..it's worth it because although I could get the yogurt smoothies cheaper but I don't like the taste of the yogurt smoothies (texture/flavor) just isn't as smooth and flavorful as these.

I have a mean sweet tooth that bugs me after every dinner without fail. Unfortunately, avoiding it only makes me eat more when I do give in (and I do at least once or twice a week) so I try to eat something sweet that won't send my calorie count skyrocketing for the day. This WAS hard to do before I found LightFull Smoothies - 1 smoothie has 90 calories (Hersheys choc bar is about 250) and a rich chocolate taste! I have poured these into a container and frozen them so I can eat like gelato - yummy!

WOW this drink is so very delicious. It is really fudgie chocolaty. It satisfies my hunger and chocolate craving. It does so with a generous serving, a small number of calories, and great nutritional values. Also the satiety really lasts. I don't think I have found any other liquid snack that does all this and does it well. The price is also reasonable. To be direct it is YUMMY! Does anything else really matter?

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.

I would suggest that you check the expiration date before you open the twelve pack of smoothies. On September 4, 2008, I opened the 12 pack of smoothies that I received from Amazon.com that date and put them in the refrigerator. A couple of hours later, I opened one to drink and noticed that the stamp on the bottle said "Best before April 25, 2008"!!

These are just so so good! I drink one every morning with some coffee mixed in (they're a bit too thick for me on their own), and I'm full for a few hours. I'm so glad to be able to have something that has fiber and protein and helps keep me full - they're just great!

Deep dark and delicious! Triple "D " means this tastes great, fulfills chocolate cravings and makes you avoid high fat candy.

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.

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!
