Great Taste

These protein shakes aren't nearly as thick as others I've tried, and they taste like chocolate pudding. You don't get any weird aftertaste from the protein even though there's whey protein in them. I drink half to supplement or when my meal is lower on protein and put the other half in the fridge for the next meal. Can't beat the price in comparison to name brand either. This is definitely a winner for me!

No chalkboard included

My family was happy to sample this Member's Mark Chocolate Protein Shake. My husband and I tried it first. The drink had a chalky taste that neither one of us liked. We gave it to my daughter and grandchildren, and none of them cared for the flavor. Again, it was too chalky. All of us shook the bottles before opening them. It was well packaged. I would not recommend purchasing this product until they revamp the flavoring.

    Great taste and texture

    These are our favorites! Being on a macro based diet, I always use a protein powder or shake. For a prepackaged shake, this is by far my favorite over all the more expensive brands. Smooth and has a great flavor.

    Great tasting protein shake

    I have had similar products from other brands but really like this flavor. Taste like chocolate milk snd is very smooth. These shakes keep me full for 3-4 hours which is great on a busy day when I don’t have time for a full breakfast or lunch.

    Protein shake for all

    A great protein supplement for anyone. A smooth chocolate taste for the chocolate lover in all of us. The protein for anyone on the go. It is great pick me up for anyone looking for a fast meal. Enjoy a shake today.

    Decent but...

    It is drinkable but has a really weak chocolate flavor. Also gave me... ahem... some flatulence that the name brands don't. I'll finish them off but won't buy again. For comparison's sake Atkins dark chocolate is my favorite.

    Disgusting taste and mouth feel

    Absolutely disgusting taste and mouth feel. My DH bought these when he couldn't find Fairlife Protein Shakes and these Member's Mark 30g High Protein Shakes do not come close to the Fairlife 30g Protein shakes. The Member's Mark shakes taste like chemicals and are gritty,the chocolate flavor is non-existent. We now have a 16 pack of these shakes we won't drink. We each opened one and poured them down the drain after one taste for me and two for DH.

    Solid

    Everyone saying is not the best etc. I’m sorry to break it to you but we drink it to hit our protein goal not for the taste. If it’s the taste you want go with fairlife or protein powder so you can put whatever you like in it. But premier makes the members mark protein shakes so they taste the same as them, they are just cheaper as they cost 2$ less and u get 3 more shakes.

    I have regerts and regrets

    Maybe this would have received a "below average" rating if I hadn't already tried FairLife...but I did and this is chalky, watery, and disappointing. I tried just refrigerator cold and then tried putting it in the freezer hoping the colder temp would improve the taste...alas it was not to be. Back to Sam's it goes and I will give Premier Protein a try.

    Protein Shakes

    First time I tried these, I usually get Premier brand. Not bad but not as good as the Premier. I tried Chocolate in both brands. I will use up what I have for breakfast replacement a few days a week or mid afternoon snack and switch back to the Premier.

    Just get Premier Protein

    We bought these to try since you get 3 additional shakes, and they were about 20cents cheaper than Premier Protein; but the taste is not consistent across bottles, sometimes they're okay, sometimes their just barrable. If you like Premier Protein, just stick with it and pass this one up.

    I can't even open the box they smell so bad. These

    I was so excited about getting these, because I had read that they tasted like the Fairlife and the Fairlife are getting too expensive. But I guess something has leaked inside. this box smells so bad I can't even finish opening it without gagging. I'm afraid to put it in my car and bring it back but I will somehow

    Good enough.

    Pluses: Good calorie count and low carb Not too thick Decent chocolate taste Good amount of protein Not great: Adding so many vitamins leaves an aftertaste I don’t like thickeners in protein drinks, but every single one has them I keep them ice cold and use a big wide milkshake straw to get it down quicker. I don’t have time to stop and eat lunch and wash my hands, so they’re a convenient way for me to get protein without too many calories. I’ll repurchase.

    Quick, tasty source of protein

    Good flavor, good protein, good nutrients! I love having these shakes as a post-run snack! It’s a great source of protein for a good price. I also enjoying having these as a quick breakfast when I’m in a rush (I’ll mix it with a shot of espresso if I need an extra boost). Also makes a good post-practice boost for my picky 11 year old athlete!

    Very inexpensive cost per gram of protein

    I really didn't notice much difference in taste between this and Premiere Protein (the brand most people are comparing this to). Premiere Protein gives you flavor alternatives, so that's good. However, strictly economically, Member's Mark costs 4.9 cents per gram of protein, and Premiere Protein is about 5.8 cents, making this about 16% cheaper.

    Not the best

    I bought this as a sub for my fairlife I usually get. I got a Ninja Creami and planned to make ice cream so my logic was how bad could it be..... I used to get the equate brand back in the day in the tin cans and assumed it was be about the same. Let me say, even blended with other items... it was still chalky and gross. If I had not already thrown away the packaging I would have tried to return it. I feel its ok if you are in a pinch or if you really do not care about chaulky or powdery liquids... I will not be buying it again.

    BEWARE! I got awful pains in my gut

    I tried this rather than Premier last time I was at the store, unfortunately. When I first tried it it was hard to get over the taste. Some describe it as chalky, seemed like a really strong peanut butter taste to me with a little chocolate added in, but as a lover of chocolate and peanut butter, it was not a good taste. Definitely not like any chocolate I'd tasted before! I kept forcing myself to drink it every so often til I got used to the taste. Then I started drinking it once a day to use up the box. A couple of days ago, after drinking it every day for the last 7-10 days, I began getting a really sharp, severe pain beneath my right ribcage that I didn't associate with anything specific I was doing/eating. But it really starte...

    Taste terrible

    These are really bad. I make a daily protein shake and had been using the Premier Protein shakes for years, but Sam's didn't have them, only these, on my last visit. I made a shake today, took half a sip, and dumped it out. The good reviews on these are confusing. The taste is unbearable. They are going back to Sam's. I hope the Premier Protein shakes make a return.

    GREAT as coffee creamer to boost daily protein.

    I add HALF of this each day to my morning coffee...its is perfect. I do not care for it straight out of the carton, but love it as an add in to boost recipes and such. I wish it did come in different flavors, but for now I simply add a tablespoon of coconut coffee syrup (or sometimes pepermint...yum!).

    Great price, great taste

    Compared to the Atkins chocolate shake, I prefer this one. I would get this again, and it may be my go-to but I'm going to try Premier next before I decide. It has a significant amount of potassium in it to help with my cramps, but I think my body has troubles absorbing it vs a potassium pill.

    Okay

    These taste very similar to the premier protein ones in the box (I've never had the ones in the plastic bottle so I don't know if they taste the same). I usually get the Fairlife and they were out of stock, these do not compare in any way to those. But for a quick protein shake they're okay.

    Absolutely Awful - Hard to Even Get Through

    So, when Sam's pulled the sneaky move of swapping the 18 count Premier Protein shake packs with the smaller 15 count Premier Protein shake packs, while keeping the price exactly the same - you know, reducing the product amount by 17% but not reducing the price at all - I was ticked off. But then I saw the Member's Mark version of the Premier Protein shakes ... in the old 18 count for the usual price. Ah, okay I see the game here. Anyway, I had hope when I saw this. I'm not necessarily brand loyal if there's a comparable alternative, so I was down with trying the MM brand protein shakes. Unfortunately, they only come in chocolate right now. Deep down I knew better than to buy these given that the chocolate flavor of the Premier Protein is th...
