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.

    So disappointed, stick with the other brand.

    This was AWFUL! I've been drinking the ready to go protein shakes for over 4 years. I bought these to try and save a few dollars, but the other ones are worth the extra few dollars. Maybe if MM makes different flavors it could be better, but this one is BAD. I was only able to get 2 sips in and was like nope and returned it.

    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.

    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.

    Need this in Vanilla

    Anyone who thinks premier is better, has broken taste buds. This is definitely not the best but it is good and cost appropriate. It's an easy snack and can be useful to add other powders like collagen, creatine or inositol. I just wish this came in a vanilla flavor. I would buy so much more.

    These shakes taste nasty

    Just bought a case of this, since they were out of the muscle milk at the store. I agree with some of the other reviews. This stuff tastes nasty. The Chocolate Muscle Milk that they carry tastes much better and is a little better for you when you compare the Nutritional facts. I'll be returning the rest of the unused case.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Choc Shake

    I typically will purchase a Members Mark product and over the years have been very satisfied with all of them. This afternoon I purchased the MM 30g High Protein Chocolate Shake and regretfully find it not very appealing. If I compare this product taste with Ensure, frankly. it's disappointing. Granted, the contains nutrients are much higher than Ensure, but you still need to enjoy the taste. Sorry!!

    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.

    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...

    Absolutely awful

    I am a tolerant person with food, but these shakes are awful. The more I stuck to drinking them, the more I couldn't stand them. My mouth said NO MORE. They are chalky, and there's something so repulsive in the flavor, but I can't describe what it is. I abhor waste, but I wouldn't want a homeless person to drink these, so I am dumping the rest down the drain. At least that way the water and nutrients aren't trapped in a landfill somewhere.

    AEWSOME....NO SOY PRODUCTS, BUT SALT TOO HIGH !

    230 MG SALT.....WHY ??? Too much salt....but AEWSOME I did not see SOYBEAN products like other products (Boost). Stay away from high salt and soybean products (ESTROGEN PRODUCER)........Thumbs up for your engineers not using Soybean, additional estrogen will disrupt Men, Women, Children natural producing Estrogen. That is correct men we have Estrogen but balanced and we do not need more. Estrogen is counter productive to Men as well where their Testosterone levels go down they say by age of 40. We need to stay balance. Sam's Club......reduce the salt, do not need that salt that high for taste !!!

    In Its Own Segment

    To simplify for those who already have tried protein shakes, I've tried Premier Protein Chocolate and it was great taste wise, not too strong, the artificial sugary taste was mitigated. I've also tried the Walmart Protein Shake, also respective however with a Pepto bismol'y aftertaste which I didn't find desirable. I expected this to taste similar to Walmarts label, but it tastes near identical to Premier that it's only off by a couple notes, and for the money that you save, it's worth the swap.

    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!).

    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...
