Product Review of BFast Breakfast Shake

I was recently able to score a $4 coupon to get a pack of chocolate BFast Breakfast Shakes for free from Jingit (although I did still have to pay sales tax). These are shelf-stable shakes found in the cereal aisle (found near Carnation Instant Breakfast and Kellogg's To Go breakfast shakes). The claim on the box is that it is, "A nutritious breakfast shake with all the nutrition of a bowl of cereal and milk." You can chill the shakes in the refrigerator.

The current price of the BFast Breakfast Shakes at Walmart is $3.98 and you get three 8 ounce shakes in each package. It has 8 grams of protein, 8 grams of whole grain, and 3 grams of fiber. When I examined the nutrition stats on the side of the package I was not happy to see that each shake contains 9% of my daily intake of salt as well.

BFast Breakfast Shakes

What do the BFast shakes taste like? Well, have you ever had a chocolate protein bar that was edible, but not something you'd choose to eat if it didn't have nutritional value? That is about what these shakes tasted like. My shake this morning was not gross, but it is not good enough to help me justify spending over a dollar apiece on.

Another thing worth mentioning is that my blood sugar levels tend to crash if I don't get enough food or if I eat a bunch of sugar (my blood sugar goes up then plummets!). Within a few hours of drinking the BFast Breakfast Shake, my blood sugar dropped and I was practically comotose. This is not a great product for people with blood sugar sensitivity in my opinion (despite the 8 grams of protein).

I will be drinking the remaining two shakes because the taste is tolerable, but I will have to eat something else to go along with it.

Product Rating: 1/5 - Low score given due to the price being so high and the taste not as good as Carnation Instant Breakfast.
