(More customer reviews)I have been using Slimfast powders for years. I put them in my coffee (chocolate) and in the summer, in "health" shakes I make. They blend well plus I feel I am getting my nutrition. I like the taste of all of them!
A tip though: You can get these at Walmart for around $6 a can.

(More customer reviews)I got this as part of an Amazon special on SlimFast, and didn't look at nutritional data at the store ahead of time.For anyone else who wants more info before purchasing, I decided to provide it, as it doesn't appear in the item description at this time.
First, taste:Good chocolate flavor, a little sweet for my tastes. I bet that's why Diane Aliprandi's kids like it better than Carnation Instant Breakfast.:-)Anyway, I tend to be a little sensitive to the sweetness of things, so take that with a grain of salt.
This is bizarre, but I've noticed that it has a little bit of an odd smell to it.Not offensive, but lingering...??
Nutrional info (as packaged, not prepared)
Number of servings per container: 14 (1 scoop or 1/3 cup = serving)
Calories: 110
Cal from fat: 30
Total fat: 3.5
Cholesterol: < 5 mg
Sodium: 140 mg
Potassium: 200 mg
Total Carb: 13 g
Dietary Fiber: 4 g
Sugars: 6 g
Protein: 7 g
Vitamin andmineral content varies from 10% to 100% of RDA. Calcium is 20% and Iron is 30%.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are (a) cost per serving, (b) the calories to protein & fiber ratio, and (c) the sweetness thing.
Another option to consider is Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast Canisters, not always available in container packaging, but always available in packet form Carnation Instant Breakfast, Variety Pack, No Sugar Added, Carnation Instant Breakfast, Classic French Vanilla, No Sugar Added.The containers have 12 servings per container, 60 cal/serving, 0.5 grams of fat/serving, 12 g carb/serving, 4 g fiber/serving, and 5 g protein/serving.It is less expensive per serving than the SlimFast products (at least in container form), dissolves easier, and is sweetened primarily with Splenda.I find that it keeps me satisfied as well as anything else.I do, however, use 1-2% milk rather than skim when preparing it.Fat is definitely one of the keys to satiety, along with protein and fiber.
Update: Well, I now have to say that this does, in fact, keep me satisfied longer than Carnation Instant Breakfast.
