About

Founded in 1989, Atkins is a well-recognized diet program that surged in popularity in the mid-2000s and is becoming popular again. Developed based on medical research, the Atkins diet focuses on low-carbohydrate, high-protein lifestyles. The gluten-free, keto-friendly protein powder is made for appealing shakes to be incorporated into the diet. These protein powders are new to the lineup, which also includes bars, treats, and frozen food meals, as well as ready-made shakes that are not in powder form. The diet has drawn some controversy given its universal aversion to carbohydrates, which many nutritionists say are necessary to some degree in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  

 

Nutrition 

Users of the Atkins shake gave high marks to its protein content (15g per serving), low sugar content (1g per serving), low carbs (7g per serving), and minimal calories (100 per serving) and fat (3g per serving). Users were not impressed, however, with the lack of superfoods, nor with the fact that the product is not organic. It contains some artificial sweeteners and controversial ingredients as well.  

Uses

The powder should be mixed with water to maintain its low calorie and carbohydrate content, and served cold or with ice cubes. Some users advocated for adding cinnamon or chili powder to enhance the taste.  

Flavors 

Currently, the powder comes in chocolate or vanilla. However, if Atkins’ ready-made shakes are any indication, additional flavors could become available soon.  

Price 

Users have been very happy with the price of this shake, which costs only about 70 cents per serving and can be shipped for free via Amazon Prime. It is also available in many stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer, Kroger, and more, making it easy to get and try.  

 

What people are saying 

Most people have been pleased with the Atkins Protein Shakes. Positive reviews include “Delicious and Low Carb!,” “Great chocolate flavor,” and “love the milk chocolate, better than alternatives.” Other users were not as impressed, citing that the shake tasted like powder in spite of trying to add things to enhance the flavor. Some said it had the usual “chalky” taste of protein shakes. Others mentioned that this version of the shakes wasn’t as good as the many ready-made options Atkins already has on the market. Many reviews conceded that the chocolate flavor is better than the vanilla.  

 

Conclusion 

The Atkins Protein Shake is aimed at weight-loss for its users. Most of its ingredients can allow for that. Those looking for a budget-friendly, easy-to-access option are sure to find the Atkins Protein Shake to be a winner. As usual, tastes differ, but the consensus seems to be that the chocolate powder is better than the vanilla flavor. For a low-carb, high-protein lifestyle, the Atkins Protein Powder Shake is a good option to try.
