Product: Solgar Whey To Go Protein Powder Natural Vanilla Bean Flavor

Click on title above for nutrition info. Mixed this in "bullet" blender with crushed ice and water to make 8 oz. Unfortunately, my imitation bullet blender malfunctioned. The rubber gasket sealing the lid on the jar broke and part of the contents leaked out. Still, I don't think that much leaked. Even though this is rated at 1 g sugar, it was not sweet at all. It was also a bit too watery and had weak vanilla flavor.

Pros: Price

Cons: little flavor, lacks richness

Cost: $.97 for single serving packet

S/C: 1/0

Product: Virgil's Diet Vanilla Cream Soda

Reeds Inc. makes Virgil's Soda. The diet varieties are sweetened without sugar, they use stevia and xylitol. Each 12 oz. bottle contains only 2 g of carbs, 5 mg sodium and 6 calories. I bought this in a 4-pk but it was also available at my health food store by the bottle for a greater cost. It's been awhile since I had regular cream soda, I remember drinking Barq's Cream Soda as a kid and loved it. This somewhat reminded me of that but it's been many years. The flavor tasted a bit too sweet for me but was pretty good. I also have the diet root beer and diet black cherry cream soda so we'll see how they are.

Pros: No sugar, low carbs, low calorie, low sodium

Cons: A bit sweet for me, high cost

Cost: $6.69 4 Pk works out to $1.67 a bottle

Product: KETOslim® Vanilla Shake with Critical Keto-Nutrients

I spent a couple hours over at my local health food store the other day reading labels on all of the (seemingly 1000's) of protein products. Many were anything but healthy sounding after reading the fine print. I came home with several single serving sizes, mostly in vanilla flavor. I will review each of them as I try them. I have one of the imitation bullet blenders and mixed the KETOslim with crushed ice and water to make 8 oz. It came out a bit too frozen to drink so I added another 3-4 oz. of water to liquify it a bit more. It still had plenty of flavor and seems to be chocked full of all kinds of good things, including probiotics. Be sure to check out the nutrition info at the link noted in the title above. I'd definitely drink this again and might even try adding cocoa powder to it.

Pros: good flavor, not gritty

Cons: contains FOS (please read comment)

Cost: $1.89 (single serving envelope)
