Well, I've been trying out various protein shakes to try and have something readily
available for meal replacements. Thanks to some mobility problems, I can't get to the refrigerator
when I get hungry, so having something available where I am was important.

We've tried several flavors of Spiru-tein shakes now. We got various packets,
and got a whole can of the egg nog. If you like the egg nog that comes in the wax cartons
like a quart of milk during the holidays, then you will like this one.

I needed something that would mix well and taste okay with WATER, not milk, as I cannot
get to the milk. We tried this one both ways, and I love it both ways!

The milk made it taste like a creamy cup of rich eggnog from a carton - definitely not like a diet shake.
The water made a very tasty version also - I use a shaker with a blender ball (vs a blender),
and very cold water. I shook it like crazy, then let it sit for a minute. It mixes very easily,
and I had no problems at all with the shaker. The result was a super creamy shake, thick enough to
drink with a straw if desired. It has a nice nutmeg aftertaste. The color is eggnog yellow (why mention
color? Some of Spiru-tein's shakes have some funky colors!), and totally acceptable. It coated the blender cup as well.

The only downside, if you can say there is one, is that it uses fructose as a sweetener. I prefer
stevia myself. At least it is not aspartame, which would be a deal breaker. It uses only ONE scoop
per 8 ounces of liquid, and has 120 calories, 14 grams of protein and 15 grams of carb (making it a little
bit on the high side of the carb). However, it also has choline and inositol in this flavor, which adds
to the fat burning potential.

I don't drink this to bulk up, rejuvenate after lifting weights, or any of the athletic uses.
I am using protein shakes as meal replacements to help shed some weight. So, the relatively lower
protein (compared to the muscle shakes) suits me just fine.

They say this is a holiday edition. They need to offer it year-round. It is fantastic!
A definite favorite in our house, with six thumbs up.
We'll definitely buy this one again!

I have a Spiruteen Shake almost every morning. This Holiday Edition of eggnog is the best!

This drink has a chemical taste. Hardly any egg nog flavor and, does not mix well even with a blender.
