- Labrada Lean Body Ready-to-Drink Chocolate Protein Shake, 40g Protein, Whey Blend, 0 Sugar, Gluten Free, 22 Vitamins & Minerals, LABRADA, 17 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

We are doing an intermittent fasting (IF) diet using low carbs when we break our fasts. We try to have no more than 25 carbs when we break our fast. We are also trying to keep the fasting window short so that the fasted period is as long as possible - We try for 20-22 fasting, but sometimes we get the hunger pangs at 16-18. Although we may lose a few hours in the fasting window, we don't break the carb rules and we are able to stay in ketosis for much longer. This drink is a game changer. It actually makes you feel "full" and it seems to make the body happy enough that it turns off the ghrelin so that you don't feel that "I just want to chew something crunchy and carb-y" feeling anymore. It will carry you on for a few more hours. Technically, yes, you will have broken the fast, but you won't have spiked your insulin because there are almost no carbs in the shake. It's a substantial shake too - we are not talking a little juice cup size here. It's enough volume and it's "thick" enough that you feel like you've had something more substantial. I have tried every flavor for these drinks. No seriously - they had a kiosk at my local grocery store and they made me try every.single.one. I tried the powder mixes too. This is a personal preference, but I've got to say, the rest of them had a..."wang" taste to them. You knew you were drinking something...off. This flavor was like drinking a pretty good glass of creamy chocolate milk - the good stuff chocolate milk. Also, the powder packets? They do not create the same flavor, texture or consistency. So Chocolate Shake does not equal Chocolate powered mix. There is an enormous difference. One you will drink willingly, happily, and even look forward to. The other, you will "grin and bear it". The prices here are much lower than my local grocery store for a pack of 12. I can pay the $36 price here or the $42 at my local grocery store so that's nearly a 15% savings. I went ahead and put them on subscribe and save so now I get each for about $31 which is easily a 26% savings. That adds up pretty quick. It drops the price per drink by a $1 each to around $2.50 per shake. Since I can't likely create a low carb quick meal that doesn't have a short shelf life for less than that, it's a savings all around. I've also noticed that if I really want to feel full when breaking my fast at the 22 hr mark, that it's best to drink one of these shakes "with" my meal. So If I'm having chicken breast and asparagus, I'll drink this shake after I finish eating. It makes me feel "very" full and the body feels completely happy. I haven't added significantly to the meal, but the body registers that it was "well-fed". You get a true "leptin" response here. I like to think that all of the extra vitamins and nutrition really play a part here too. I'm super happy with this product. Flavor, price, carb load (pretty much none), satiety...it's an awesome product.

This shake is super convenient since it’s ready to drink — no mixing or clumps at all. The chocolate flavor is smooth and not overly sweet. With 40g of protein and zero sugar, it really helps keep me full and supports both weight loss and muscle strength. I like the whey protein blend and overall ingredient quality. The expiration date was clearly marked and the shelf life was good. Great option for busy days or after a workout.

Many of these types of protein drinks have an off taste which I expect. I tried the vanilla flavor and it had an off taste that I didn't like. The chocolate is good and I don't mind it at all. This drink is my breakfast. The two things I like best: 1) The size - at 17 oz. it fills me up and I don't feel hungry for hours after; 2) It has 40 grams of protein which is more than others I have found. That's 80% of the RDA. I'm not using this as a body builder, but more for dieting and I think those who are interested in a low carb protein drink should take notice. Take this vs. an Atkins shake for example. It tastes better, has 40 grams of both fast acting and slow acting protein (Atkins only 10 grams) giving you most of the protein you need, it has 0 grams sugar, no transfat, and the portion size is large enough to be satisfying (e.g., Lean Body 17 oz. vs. Atkins 11 oz.). Only 260 calories. I have one of these in the morning, which keeps me from being hungry. I then have an afternoon whole fruit/veggie smoothie using my Ninja IQ (I use fresh fruit with the peels on and it's better than juicing since you get the fiber from the pulp). I'm not a great fruit/veggie eater, but put a banana, an apple, some carrot, and kale or spinach and blend. This way I make sure I get three servings of raw fruit and veggies per day. Dinner is a protein of choice, whatever veggie I might need to hit my 3 veggie per day minimum, plus some sort of complex carb (e.g., beans, brown rice, quinoa). I'm a happy camper, losing weight, don't feel hungry (if I get hungry nuts, or maybe some celery with cheese or peanut butter). I also feel that, along with some vitamin supplements, I'm doing something that can be healthy and sustainable.

Great RTD No sugar Low in calories & fat To bad it’s like $50 a case 🥺 though Can’t always afford them Just a heads up the birthday cake 🎂 flavor is awful 😣 my favorite is the chocolate 🍫

The flavor is very good and it gave me a kick start to my morning breakfast.

My husband and I both use this protein drink regularly! It is very filling. No sugar. Very high protein content. It has tons of nutrients. It tastes / smells great! We get products that have expiration dates that are one year away or longer. It is a very healthy product! A great value for the amount of protein you get! We are very happy with these! 40gms of protein is one of the highest amounts you can get in a protein drink! This protein is a whey protein. I can drink one of these in the morning and feel full with no cravings! Very happy to have found Lean Body!

Tasty flavors and good viscosity…not too thin or thick. Great as a coffee add or quick protein on the go.

The description of this says it tastes awesome. I was expecting it to taste heavenly. I was very disappointed; compared to muscle milk 100cals 20g Protein, it was akin to boiled lollies to chocolate. It's a travesty that I have to endure substandard Protein shake because the yummy ones don't ship to Australia--actually they are discontinued, thusly depriving me (or actually anyone) of a delicious way to obtain Protein.

Fast next day delivery. Value for money when on offer. My second purchase. Recommended.

Great taste and filling but only for a couple hours then hungry again but it works.

Pretty good nutritional ratios for a pre-mixed protein drink. The downside is that it tastes like caulk. Tip - make sure you drink this chilled! Enhances the flavor.

Tastes bloody horrible. Its like an early 90's cheap watery chocolate flavour, and with a weird after taste. I remember Labrada protein used to be quality, this aint it. Waste of money..avoid!
