Orgain Organic Grass Fed Dairy 16g Protein Shake, Strawberry, 11oz, 12pk

The only flavor my picky teen son will drink to keep up his protein intake while being on adhd meds that give him zero appetite!

I have health issues that make meal replacement something I use on a daily basis. Have for many years usually in the morning because that is when I feel the least like eating or preparing a meal. I have used brands such as Ensure and Boost as well as store brands and the first thing I notice is that their product is almost a neon pink. Orgain I had not heard of before my boyfriend recommended it to me. The first thing I noticed was no neon pink color. Here are some other things I have noticed: - No off putting odor or after taste -No overly sweet taste -Is a little like soy milk in appearance - Does have what I call a mild flavor profile compared to over flavored competitors both national and store brands. - I personally never felt full on those other meal replacements with Orgain I feel full often only after half a container. Making the recloseable cap nice. - With Orgain I have noticed that I feel better a few hours after drinking it. Where the opposite was true with other replacements. I have also tried chocolate fudge. My opinion is based on just three days of use. I checked with my doctor before trying Orgain and they approved. I would recommend Orgain for anyone considering trying a meal replacement or for those unhappy with their current one. ******UPDATED**** After a few days I realized their is NO strawberries in this drink it is a blend of raspberries that give it, the strawberry flavor. So that is a little misleading. After a couple of months I found myself gravitating more and more to the chocolate flavor & stopped buying the strawberry. This is because I would rather have chocolate and not due to the quality of the product. ** Footnote I had to stop using this product do to Allergy issues. I would still recommend to others

Excellent food supplement. Healthy ingredients, satisfying meal replacement.

This only tastes good if I mix it with a heaping teaspoon of sugar and lots of ice cubes. It does not taste like strawberries, but it has a fruit flavor. If you look at the ingredients, there are no strawberries in it. This contains raspberry, banana, blueberry, and other fruits and vegetables, but no strawberry. It has a very thin consistency compared to other brands of protein shakes. It is a light pink color, which is nice. After I drink this, it makes me feel good. But it is not filling at all. It does not work as a meal replacement. It might be okay as a snack. It does not give you all the vitamins and minerals that you need, but it has some nutritional value. This has all natural ingredients, and there is no artificial coloring.

I first bought these for a family member who eats a very nutrient-poor diet and was starting to have health issues. They also aren't keen on taking any pills. So, while I know that healthy food is the optimal source of nutrition, it just wasn't possible. I did some research and asked around about a drink that could replace a multivitamin and Orgain kept coming up. I loved that it also had 16g of protein, because this family member also doesn't eat enough and struggles to keep weight on. Not to mention the protein is whey from grass fed cows! So many of the protein sources in such things are soy-derived. After reading about the effects of soy (and how it acts like estrogen in the body) I only allow a small amount in my diet and that of my kids. Plus, the benefits of grassfed over industrial grain fed are clear...not to mention easier on the conscience . So far we have tried the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. This family member is also very picky, but loves the strawberry cream flavor! Vanilla is our second favorite. When I bought them, I tried them and I now buy them for us too. My kids love them! And I drink them now as a treat. While they seem pricey per drink at first, if you compare it to buying a soda or coffee while you're out it's about the same, tastes as good and is good for you rather than a drain on your health like soda, unfortunately.

I have tried 3 flavors of these delectable meal replacement shakes and found that in both forms, including the high protein variety, that the price is very high but the value is definitely there. The product is sourced from REAL foods, not a bunch of chemicals and fake nutrients that do no good whatsoever. Orgain is superior in every aspect. The taste of these shakes is delicious. I add Collagen and other nutrient powders to my shakes and I use one of those delightful little hand held milk frothers to mix the powders into the shake slowly. It makes the most delectable creamy, frothy shakes that are so wonderful for health. The blessing of one of these shakes first thing in the morning is that they do not leave you with a sugar high or sugar crash. I have found that one shake at 7AM lasts me until 2PM, when I then opt for either a regular, small portion meal, or another shake with more nutrient powders. My gut issues have settled down in nearly magical ways. So thrilled with a truly nutrient dense shake that feeds your cells what they need without the phony hype that other brands promote on TV. Orgain Organic Nutritional Shakes are the BEST!!! And in 21 days I have lost 10 pounds without the false hunger that sabotages most diets.

I’ve had a hard time trying to keep my husband hydrated and nourished since he had radiation to his neck and developed both radiation induced esophagitis and candida esophagitis. He was hospitalized for IV fluid and TPN recently. He was barely getting 1 1/2 Ensures a day in and I needed to find something that he could tolerate both the taste and texture of. My daughter had bought a case of these from work a few weeks prior for him to try, so we finally tried one. I didn’t even have to encourage him to finish it! He was asking for another less than half an hour later. We’ve gone through multiple cases and for now he has at least been able to maintain his weight and adequate hydration. In less than a weeks time I’ve gone from worrying about him having a PEG tube for basic nutritional needs to finally being able to relax a bit and not worry about it. It’s great that these aren’t loaded with extra iron as well, as iron supplementation fed his tumors and accelerated their growth. These may not be great for everyone, but he isn’t the first cancer patient to come to love these that I’ve met. Great overall for radiation and chemo when texture and flavor both interfere with maintaining adequate intake.

I have just received my second case of the strawberries and cream shakes and I won't order it again. I don't see any other reviews that mention my experience, so I guess I'm in the minority opinion here, but I have a real problem with the strawberry flavor shake. I am mystified as to what is in this particular drink that burns my throat every time I try to drink one. With the first case I got, I noticed an unpleasant aftertaste and slight burning sensation by the time I got to the last few drinks. I thought I might be coming down with a sore throat or something, so didn't associate it with the drink so much, or thought maybe the flavoring was much more acidy than the other two kinds I bought. Although I did think that would be odd since there really isn't that much of a strawberry flavor to the drink at all; it's very slight. I have one shake a day, alternating this flavor with iced mocha and the chocolate fudge. Neither of the other two bother me at all. With this new case, with every swallow of the strawberry, my throat burns so much I simply can't drink any more of it. Without knowing how it affects me, my husband also tried it and said it had an unpleasant, chemical aftertaste to him, so looks like the rest of the case is going to get tossed. I don't know that I have an allergy to anything in this drink, though I guess it's possible, but I don't get skin rashes or any other sign of allergy after drinking it. Neither does it cause me abdominal distress, thankfully. Still, I don't like my throat burning when I'm having a nutritional drink, and clearly, something in it doesn't agree with me. I wanted to post this review in case there is anyone else out there who had a similar reaction. Am I really the only one who did? I really do hope I can continue to have the other flavors, since my doctor has ordered me to gain weight, and these drinks and added healthy carbs are really helping with that. Nothing else is as palatable as the Orgain drinks, IMO, and I have tried a bunch of them.

Muy bueno!!!
