Pure ProteinComplete Ready To Drink Shakes, High Protein Rich Chocolate, 11Oz, 4 Count

I bought 3 packs of 4 (12 total counts) and when it arrived in a way over sized box with insufficient big bubble wraps, 2 packs (8 total counts) were scattered in the box and even the cardboard thing that's suppose to hold the 4 cartons together were torn which was suspicious already since even in really bad shipping and handling, the cardboard would not be ripped like that, it seems to have been ripped by a previous buyer! Nonetheless, I kept it and the first 2 cartons were ok and tasted pretty good. But on the 3rd carton, when I started drinking it I felt small chunks and had drank 2 sips before I thought better of it and tossed the rest of that carton out......too late! A few minutes later I felt like something was stuck just below my esophagus and all night long it slowly made its way down towards my stomach and I can still feel the tail end of it's effect in my stomach now, about 13 hours later! I've read a few reports here on Amazon of how the carton's cap were sometimes damaged allowing air to get in. So in the name of science, I went ahead and dissected a carton of the drink to see how that cap is attached to the carton. Looks like the carton is similar to one of those kiddy fruit drinks where you punch a straw into a semi-foil, but in the case of this carton, the semi-foil is about an inch in diameter and it gets punched open when you twist the cap that has plastic saw teeth, and that cap has to be somehow attached and sealed by some sort of glue to the outside surface of the carton. That cap can also conceivably punch through the semi-foil without rwisting it if someone pushes in hard enough, leaving the seal compromised without being seen. You can see how the semi-foil is still dangling inside the carton in my photo. Long story short, that seal is definitely a weak link but regardless of whether that caused my last drink to be spoiled or not, I cannot give this otherwise good tasting drink a good rating if it's hit or miss! Plus my entire package was suspect due to it being scattered out of it's 4-pack and it's 4-pack cardboard wrap was ripped in such a way that is NOT a result of seller shipping or handling but is a result of previous buyers handling, leaving me to believe it was part of a number of unwrapped 4-packs with the buyer returning what was left of that 4-pack after not liking it for whatever reason, and those returned unwrapped 4-packs were then resold!

I use Muscle Milk and my wife likes this Pure Protein drink. Muscle Milk comes in a very well constructed 12 pack, I buy them 3 at a time. they always arrive in great condition with the box intact. The Pure Protein, on the other hand is so sloppily packed I'm amazed they even stay in the shipping box. SOMEBODY needs to reach out to Pure Protein and have them check out other manufacturers packaging because the way we receive theirs is so terrible the mailman even has to retape the box just to get it to the porch!

I can’t believe that this item is $22.40 for just 4 11oz drinks! That is in tiredly to high! I was getting a 12 pack of Ensure for pretty much the same amount on a regular basis and you didn’t have them at the time so I had to purchase something different! If I had realized that those were that expensive I would have never got them! Something is just not right!! Thank you for your time! Angela Wood

For starters it is extremely filling. I could barely finish the whole bottle. I almost didn't buy it because the reviews say it taste chalky but it did get near 5 stars. Well it does taste a little chalky but it is to be expected from a protein drink. Its not like you are drinking chocolate milk. It is very low fat which I like and the 30 grams of protein, the most I've seen in ready to go shakes. I will buy them again because as a pescatarian I do not want to eat fish every single day and this helps boost my metabolism. If you can tolerate the slight chalky taste and needs the protein shakes for a specific purpose like I do than I'd say get them. I'll buy them again.

I like vanilla and chocolate Pure Protein drinks. They are great for snack time. I drink them when I don't have time for lunch, yummy! I put both chocolate and vanilla Pure Protein in my coffee instead of milk or cocoa. I love Pure Protein drinks! They are low in calories and high in nutrition and flavor! Yummy!
