If you need to find a way to get more protein in your diet; either to complement your daily routine, supplement for your workout regiment or as apart of reworking for a healthier diet, then really consider adding this Quest Nutrition Shake (Salted Caramel Flavor) to your diet!
Specifically, I add it to my morning coffee (black) and I am about to start drinking an evening coffee (black but de-caf then) just so I can add another shake to my daily routine and get 60g of protein (30g each) with only 6g of carbs (3g each) into my diet! I honestly can't believe that I did not do this earlier! I have a huge sweet tooth, but this was getting the best of me, as I started gaining a lot of weight post-university since I stopped playing varsity sports and thus could no longer support my diet choices. Therefore, I started to peel back sugar from my diet where possible, and coffees were one of the areas where I started learning to drink them straight black, and have been doing this, with some sadness for the last 3-4 years.
Now, enter in this shake, which tastes great (and I wasn't even a big Salted Caramel fan in the first place), is def sweet enough (due to the sucralose; which is FDA approved as an artificial sweetener, and as of the date of this review, is safe for consumption, and specifically drinking the amount in 1-2 of these shakes per day, however as with everything you eat, especially when processed, continue to look for the latest research on it to make sure consumption stays safe) and has a watery consistency exactly like black coffee, so does not change it's texture (so if you're hoping for a creamy coffee with this then you'll be disappointed, but I was not looking for that). You won't notice that you've added this to your black coffee, except for the change in taste and color, which since this drink is semi-white, basically like creamer, makes coffee turn into a brown color that looks like you just added a creamer. The amount you want to add will vary based on how sweet you want the coffee, etc., but for me, I generally add about 7-8oz (each shake is 11oz) to about 12oz coffee, and then jug the rest of the shake on its own. With the additional volume, this usually becomes quite filling on its own, and has stopped me from eating a donut or something else sweet in the morning with the rest of my breakfast (ie. boiled eggs), improving my overall diet as well. It also helps curb my general sweet tooth so if you also have a sweet tooth like me, check this shake out!
Overall, I am extremely happy that I found these shakes and have found I think the best way to incorporate them into my daily routine! I would def recommend and have already bought more, and will continue to do so
