Protein Drinks, Vanilla Bean (12 Pack) - Sugar Free & Low Carb - 20g Grass Fed Protein - Lactose Free, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Kosher - Keto Friendly Protein Shakes

I am having some surgery and the surgeon wanted me to drink some other brand prior to surgery - (Impact). Unfortunately I could NOT tolerate the flavor of that other brand - the 5th ingredient is anchovy paste. I was feeling defeated until I found Iconic protein drinks! Surgeon approved them as substitute. The Iconic drinks are VERY good - maybe a little too sweet, BUT it's tolerable. Comes in Chocolate truffle, Caffe Latte, and Vanilla bean. Very, very good flavor compared to all the others I have tried - at least 6 different brands. If you need a meal replacement or a high protein drink prior to surgery - look no further. This drink it the answer. No artificial ingredients. Super important to me. And they are shelf stable - DO refrigerate before drinking. Can be mixed with fruit or flavor drops or some ice to make it more like a milk shake. They are lactose free. Not mention the fair price. The other brand (Impact) is almost a hundred bucks per case of 12. This is about $38 per 12. I will definitely be purchasing only this brand any time I need it.

These are some of the best-tasting protein shakes I’ve tried—especially on the cleaner, more natural side. I’ve tested a lot of different brands, and I would 100% buy these again. They’re creamy, filling, and actually satisfying as a meal replacement. So far, I’ve had the chocolate and coffee flavors—both delicious—and I’m already checking to see what other flavors are available. For comparison, I also like Levels protein powder, but I usually add that to yogurt or oatmeal since it wasn’t quite as filling on its own. These shakes, though, are perfect when I need something quick and nourishing.Especially after surgery.

As a diabetic, I need to keep my blood sugar from rising and dropping excessively. My dietician wants me to eat every three hours, to prevent highs from overeating and lows from not eating. That has proved almost impossible because I am a busy person, very much on the go. Often I’m tied up in activities where I simply cannot take a snack break for 5 or 6 hours. I’ve tried keeping the usual snacks with me — nuts, cheese and crackers, protein bars. Then I would still have them when I got home because there had not been an opportunity to stop and eat. After such a long period, my blood sugar would be down and I’d be feeling shaky and tired. So my dietician recommended Iconic protein drinks, something I could sip on as I went about my business. At first I avoided this because previous experience with protein drinks was not good — they tasted awful. Finally I gave in and bought two bottles of Iconic. I had a performance coming up and knew I would not be able to eat for at least five hours, so I took a bottle of Chocolate Truffle and drank it while I was setting up my equipment. The first surprise was that it was quite tasty and I didn’t have to force myself to drink it. I actually enjoyed it! The second surprise was that I could drink it as I worked, much as I might sip from a bottle of water. And the third surprise, best of all, was that I had energy throughout the performance, and when I got home, my blood sugar was in the normal range — after more than five hours of not eating solid food. Two days later, I had another performance and took my second bottle (Vanilla Bean) along. The results were the same. I then went on Amazon and ordered a case each of the two flavors. I was contacted by the Iconic Customer Service rep, who was just checking that all was well. I told him then what a great job the Iconic was doing and that I was so glad I had found it. It has solved my personal health and nutrition issues when a busy life limits my time for taking care in the more usual ways. I highly recommend this product!

Amazing protein drinks. Tastiest I’ve ever had and no unhealthy ingredients. This most recent order did not have the second seal which was a little concerning.

I am having some major surgery coming up. My doctor recommended a different drink (3 a day for 5 days before surgery - and 3 a day for 2 weeks after). Only problem is the protein drink he recommended was HORRIBLE. The 5th ingredient is anchovy paste!! It was truly awful and a hundred bucks for 12 drinks! So, I asked if I could sub out the awful, super expensive drink for these Iconic drinks. He agreed! I ordered the Iconic chocolate truffle, the caffe latte and the vanilla. Do you like chocolate milk?! Who doesn't, the chocolate truffle tastes like the best chocolate milk you've ever tried! When I drink the caffe latte I pour it over ice or blend with ice and it's like a really terrific iced coffee! The vanilla bean is as delicious as it sounds. And they all SMELL good too. Honestly. All of this, without anything that is bad for you and 20 grams of protein!! In fact my doctor says he will now recommend these drinks. When you HAVE to do a meal replacement drink - you have GOT to try these first! I am soooo grateful for them - for taste and cost! Plus they are shelf stable!!! So refrigerate as you need them! I would give these 10 stars if I could. Just ordered more. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

I was really excited to try these because of the positive reviews and clean ingredients, but there’s a chemical-like aftertaste I can’t get past. It’s frustrating given the price and the fact that they can’t be returned. I wouldn’t recommend these if you’re sensitive to taste or artificial/chemical flavors.

Rich and pleasant tasting protein shake. Some might find it a little sweet..
