 Fantastic! Mar 29, 2006
By Lulu
I love this drink. It's a bit of an acquired taste--I found it a little bit chalky, but I love it now. It's full of essential nutrients, so it's completely worth the cost. The chocolate flavor is by far the best in my humble opinion. I usually combine a cup (it comes with its own measuring cup) with a cup of skim milk and blend it. Mixing it together without a blender causes it to clump something awful, so a blender is definitely essential. I recommend pouring how much milk you intend to drink in the your designated drinking vessel first before you blend; the shake has a tendency to froth and this way you don't end up with excess sitting in the blender. Generally I've found that on the days that I have time to drink this shake (washing the blender in the morning can prove to be a bit much) I have more energy and just feel...healthier. You really can't go wrong with this drink. I found that drinking this as a meal replacement aid was very helpful in weight loss.

Tastes Great and Good for you Jan 03, 2007
By E. Carter
"Rugged"
This powder has it all. The taste is great because you add a banana to make it a banana shake or peanut butter or chocolate syrup etc.
You can mix it with Juice or milk and both ways are great.
Trick your kids and add it to an ice cream shake. The amount of good vitamins and minerals in this is more then anything else I have come across. I have been a fan of this shake for over 10 years and now my son loves it too. When I was pregnant and could not keep any food down this shake kept me happy and healthy. A++++

a vegan's favorite Jun 26, 2008
By Lauren B. Beissinger
(Attn vegans: It does contain bee "pollen"....) I have loved spirutein for a while now. Though, I have narrowed my selection down to : Chocolate, vanilla, and the cookies n' cream. They're amazing. I try to drink one a day to make sure I get enough protein(14 grams per scoop) and vitamins. It's quick and easy. Especially if you have a single-serve-blender. ( I highly recommend the Hamilton Beach version, best $17 I've ever spent) These spirutein powders need a blender, even though they say "just stir in." That's not happening. For best results combine:
Spirutein powder, Milk or milk-alternative, and a thickener (ice-cream, banana, etc) and a couple cubes of ice is nice. Some flavors need a tbsp of sweetener.
The choc. powder with a scoop of soy/rice vanilla ice cream and 8 oz. milk-substitute becomes the best Wendy's Frosty you've ever had. The vanilla powder with a banana, milk-subtitute, a tbsp of honey, ice and walnuts sprinkled on top is so delicious. Enjoy. And remember, protein is important if you want to keep your hair!

Totally addicted Aug 13, 2008
By W. VanAlstyne
My wife and I have been buying and drinking this product for years. We've tried all the flavors but we both like the Vanilla best by far. The secret for making this (or any other flavor) into a delicious healthy shake is this:
Start with a decent blender that can crush ice cubes, or use the crushed ice option in your ice maker if it does that. Put 3 oz of crushed ice or ice cubes -- 5 cubes from MY refrigerator ice maker, yours may vary -- into the blender. If cubes, crush them first in the blender at high speed. Add 8 oz skim milk to the crushed ice and start blender. IMMEDIATELY add 1 measure of powder by sprinkling it in over several seconds. Blend only a few seconds more after you finish adding the powder, then pour and enjoy. [NB: Dumping the powder in all at once will often cause undissolved clumps to stick to the blender. Overblending will melt the ice and thicken the shake too much.]
The drink produced by this method will be frosty and delicious, like the best milkshake you've ever had.

Good Stuff Aug 11, 2009
By Timothy S. Thompson
"virTTualMan"
I've been using Spiru-tein off and on, mostly on, for about 20 years now, since about 1988. I found out about it from my girlfriend at the time, a health fanatic and bicycle racer. Compare its nutrients to other similar products on the market and I think you'll find it hard to beat. Plus, unlike a lot of it's competitors, it has a decent taste, or at least the chocolate does. A scoop of the chocolate with a cup of skim milk is only about 180 calories, but it's pretty filling and keeps me from getting hungry for several hours. At one point I used it as my daily breakfast during a period of about 4-5 months where I cut about 40 pounds that I had accumulated over the years. The only negative I have is that it's hard to mix. You DEFINATELY need a hand blender (I use a Braun), and wash the blender and glass immediately, it hardens like concrete when dry. Hope this review helps.
