I've only tried the chocolate. But then why would anyone want any other flavor? Sorry, I'm a confirmed chocoholic. I kind of was hesitant at first too considering the price, but the taste is pretty darn good. I keep it around to have a quick meal for those days when I cannot figure out what to have, or for a quick breakfast on the go.

I tried the vanilla. I thought it was relatively horrible. It's still sitting in my fridge. I've never had Slim Fast before though, so I really didn't know what to expect. It was just too thick and chalky for me to get it down. I drank about half of one and the rest have sat in my fridge since. I'm glad I bought them though... To support the labeling and all...

chocolate is the only ones i could handle before also or the strawberry wasnt too bad. I learned from drinking the ones before being gluten free is that htey have to be really cold to taste good, so im guessing that is how i will have to drink them again. They are on sale this week for 2/10, so i had wanted to buy alot before they went off sale if they tasted any good lol. Well that is if i can find them, I went looking for them on monday and no place had them.

Ahhhhh, it never would have occured to me to drink it warm. That would be right up there with drinking warm milk I would think, bleeech. I pull mine out of the frig to drink or pour over ice. The texture wasn't bad and it has a nice chocolate flavor.

I was meaning very cold, i know to drink them cold, but i like to put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes to get it really cold then drink it, I use to even put them in the blender with some bananas.

I still cant find them here, but i asked safeway to order me some asap, and they said they will.

I could never lose with slim fast. It did nothing for my appetite...why? It's loaded with sugar. Even the so called low sugar one didn't take my appetite away.

I make my own shake, with almond milk and brewer's yeast (my brand is made on beets not from a brewery). I can't find nutritional yeast or I'd use that too. The only brand my stores carry is Twin Lab which has gluten in it. Making your own is way cheaper.... :)

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
