Atkins Advantage Creamy Vanilla Shakes
The Atkins Advantage Creamy Vanilla Shakes are one of several Atkins shakes on the market that give dieters on its low carb plan an easy way to follow the Atkins diet plan.
The Atkins shakes are high protein, contain more calcium than a cup of milk, contain over 20 vitamins and minerals, and most importantly - contain only 1 gram of sugar. If you intend on replacing an Atkins shake with another diet shake you find in your health or grocery store, make sure that you take note of the amount of sugars and/or carbohydrates on the label. You'd be surprised how much sugar is in some meal replacement shakes. Atkins shakes also contain zero grams of trans fats and a fair amount of fiber - see full ingredient list for the Atkins Advantage Creamy Vanilla Shake below.
Major companies have discovered that the phrase "low carb" on their food products can help their sales. So always read the food labels because as you'll find out, many products advertised as low carb, are nothing of the sort.
If you're interested in the impact of the Atkins shakes on your blood sugar, according to the Net Atkins Count ®, a patent-pending program developed by Atkins, their shakes show on average that just 2g of the carbs in their product impact blood sugar.
The shakes taste best when chilled. Atkins recommends serving over ice. I find that this dilutes the taste. An alternative is to simply pop the shake into the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving. Shake well before drinking.
How does the Atkins Vanilla shake taste? It tastes ok. Not nearly as good as the Atkins Advantage Shake Chocolate Delight or the Atkins Advantage Shake Chocolate Royale. Those taste delicious. The Atkins Advantage Shake Strawberry Supreme shakes tastes better than the vanilla shake but not as good as the chocolate. Of course, if you love strawberries, your opinion may differ.
Will the Atkins shakes fill you up? Only you can answer that. As you know, a six foot man or women will have vastly different energy and nutritional needs than a five foot person. However, some find that following a shake drink with a glass of water will help to fill you up as well.
The greatest benefit of the shakes are that they are great time savers. They're relatively nutritious and in many cases will keep your hunger at bay until your next meal.
The Atkins shakes normally come four to a box although you'll find many stores allow you to break open a box and buy as many or few as you like. If you live near a store that will let you do this, I recommend you buy one of each flavor to see if you like the taste of any or all of them.
Want to try making your own low carb shake? Take a walk down to your local health store, pick up some low carb whey powder (they come in vanilla as well as other flavors), and mix a custom low carb shake that appeals directly to your taste buds.
