Cinnamon flavored things are my wheelhouse. No question about that. So when I got a new low carb shake mix in my June Keto Krate that was Vanilla Cinnamon I was excited to try it. I love anything that can help suppress the cravings for something sweet and even feel like a treat. Usually protein shakes help to do that for me. This one by Keto Shakes was a little strange however.
So I may be the one to take blame on this. Perhaps I didn’t mix it correctly, but I did follow the instructions as best as I could. I mixed the powder in with 8 ounces of warm water as instructed. I really blended it together well. I am not really used to having shakes like this served warm, but I decided to try it as the instructions didn’t say to do anything different. No thanks. Being warm it accentuated the taste of the protein and vitamins. So I decided to pour it over some ice. This helped a bunch. Serving it cold made a slight change and easier to get down. However even on ice it still had a bitter taste that overpowered any sweetness or vanilla in the shake. I couldn’t drink it. I tried to get through it thinking I would get used to it, but after a few drinks It just sat with me wrong so I moved on.
I just think that there are so many other options for low carb shakes out there that this one really under performed for me and lacked a nice milky richness. No thanks, bleh.
Anyone else tried these and had a different experience?
