Atkins Gluten Free Protein-Rich Shake, Dark Chocolate Royale, Keto-Friendly, 8 Count (Pack of 1)

I love these. The Dark Chocolate Royale shakes are Super yummy, great for a quick meal on the run, and a perfect way to get some protein in your diet.

Very good flavor

Say what you will about the Atkins diet, (I got good results), and about some of the Atkins nutritional products, (meals and bars are sort of iffy), we have found over the years that these shakes are the best all around nutrition shakes for us. Super low carb and high protein. Nice mix of vitamins and minerals. We prefer the Dark Chocolate Royale, but the Milk Chocolate is an O.K. substitute. (For what it's worth the Vanilla with a shot of Jack Daniels is a pretty nice late afternoon low-carb substitute for a Bailey's Irish Cream pick-me-up.) I order 6 eight-packs at once and some nice young guy drops them at my door. Costs no more than at the supermarket and way less than at some places. IMPORTANT! Sometimes when you order stuff like this you get product that is out of date or nearly so. I got these today and they have a "best by" date of August 30, 2018, which is ten months from now and better than the date on my latest store bought shakes. So, staleness is not a problem. All in all this was a successful purchase/delivery experiment and is my new go-to.

At first I thought I was allergic to this, and almost returned it. I drank it just as a shake but had problems swallowing it. I read other reviews, and saw some people just added it to coffee as a creamer instead of milk. Once I did that I could tolerate it better, but I only use half at a time. I ordered the regular chocolate, and that seemed milder. So whatever the difference is, this one was too intense of a chocolate I guess... I need to add more protein, and less carbs to my diet so I will try other flavors. It is a good brand and decent price...

My preferred Atkins flavor is Mocha Cafe with coffee. It has a bit of caffiene and a lot of flavor to hide any of the chalky feel or taste of other high protein drinks. It is pleasantly sweet, not cloying, and gives me all the fullness and energy I need to get through the morning until I have a light lunch at midday. I have tried the Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale flavor and found it too rich for the start of the day. It seems good for a filling dessert without the calories but plenty of protein. Since drinking the Atkins Shakes each morning I have lost a few pounds without trying... another benefit.

I'm not on the Atkins diet but these have been a large staple in my weight loss journey. I started a low calorie diet back in January of 2017 and have since went from 260 pounds down to 190. This is just by drinking one to two of these a day and counting the rest of my calories. (I also haven't exercised at all.) These drinks are amazing for curbing your appetite and if you're like me and don't like eating first thing in the morning, these are great as they don't upset my stomach or make me feel sick like breakfast usually does. They taste delightful and don't have that chalky taste that some weight loss/ meal replacement shakes do. (I always favour the Chocolate Royales.) I recently started having to buy these off of Amazon as my local Walmart is trying to push the off brand Equates very hard, but they don't compare to these, and they also have a whole extra 20 calories.

I've tried half a dozen different chocolate protein drinks since I started my Keto diet, and hands-down, this is the best of them all. If you want a truly rich and chocolate flavor without any weird chemical aftertaste or anything like that, this is the one to get. They taste a LOT like a thick homemade chocolate milk drink made with Hershey's syrup, but, hardly any carbs and the calories aren't bad. They'll fill you up too. Drink one of these and you're pretty well full for a couple of hours. I also like the Mocha Latte flavor, but, you've gotta' like coffee for that, and the Vanilla is fantastic as well. Not a big fan of the Caramel Latte - tasted kind of weird. But, if you want guilt-free chocolate, this is the way to go! Just wish they were cheaper!

this drink is so good I don't want to drink any other protein drink other than this one. The dark chocolate is the best. I mix it with coffee ..with almond milk and berries.. with half a banana.. its just the best. all by itself its like a decedent chocolate shake. I mix half a container with other things just to make it last longer and have more to drink but one container is plenty by itself as well. For me there is no after taste or weird taste at all.. so good. I sometimes buy the milk chocolate and coffee latte too but this dark choc is my favorite. I want to try the other flavors they make. I might try vanilla to see how that taste to mix my berries into. love that its VERY low sugar. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE TASTE with any other product and I have tried them all including powders.

I’ve purchased these shakes in the US before and they taste great. However, just had some delivered to me in Australia. They taste off and are not drinkable. Perhaps they don’t travel well! I wouldn’t recommend getting these shipped to Aus.

This product is foul tasting and we can’t even get our money back from Amazon. We can’t work out if it’s off or if it’s just the taste. We can’t get through a mouthful of it.

Abit too sweet for my liking. Drink is thick in consistency, guess that is how it suppose to fill you. Keep me full for only 3 hours. Good for breakfast when you do not have alot of time to prepare. Have not tried long enough to see any result.
