The flavor that I am going to review today is the French Vanilla Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake. When I opened the package, I smelled a scent that brought me back to childhood memories of baking a cake and licking the raw cake batter off of the spoon and bowl. I immediately got excited... who doesn't love raw cake batter? But even better... who doesn't love raw cake batter that will HELP with weight management? Ummm.. sign me up PLEASE! After the minute or two it took to prepare my shake, I was SO ready for a sip! WOW... it doesn't just SMELL like cake batter, it TASTES like it also!! What a wonderful and delicious product. I couldn't believe I could actually drink this yummy sweet drink instead of eating a full meal! But just as I thought that, I also thought that I wouldn't always want something SO sweet as a meal replacement. As someone who LOVES savory food, I'm not sure if I could drink these instead of my favorite meal of the day: dinner. However, I could see myself swapping breakfast or lunch out for one of these shakes.
This shake did do its job of filling me up! I was pleasantly surprised that I was satisfied after drinking the shake. However, there is just one complaint I would have about this shake... just as those pesky bubbles of cake mix sometimes refuse to incorporate with the rest of the wet ingredients when making cake batter, the protein shake powder was difficult to incorporate into the water to gain a smooth consistency. The shaker bottle definitely needed some extra help when blending the powder and water together, so I grabbed a fork and started to pop those dry bubbles. I was able to blend most of the powder into the water but a few powder bubbles remained as I began drinking the shake.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this shake. It's a great shake that can help you shake those pesky cravings throughout your day!
