I’m a big fan of Special K cereals and snacks so when I was offered to sample the Special K Protein Shakes? I was happy to.

The Special K Protein Chocolate shake is ok. It does taste chocolate, a bit creamy and smooth but there is a a strange aftertaste. It is much like its the competitor, Slim Fast.

The drink, which contains 10 grans of protein and five grans of fiber taste best chilled. These are great for those times when you are in too much of a hurry to have a sit down lunch or if you’re on your way to work and want a  quick breakfast? (Skip the donuts or anything with crumbs. Drink one of these instead.) 

Basically I think these drinks do well in a pinch when you’re short on time and obviously not looking to get an “experience” out of your meal. They’re also fine if you’re trying to lose some extra weight but don’t want to spend half your day tallying your caloric consumption.

The shakes come in three flavors: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
