They do have a lot of calories if you're just having one as a snack, but I've been drinking them as a meal, like breakfast, so it totally justifies the calories. I also like the high protein. But, they are a little pricey... so I will be going back to making my own this week and just having a Vivanno every once in awhile. I have tried these and really like the Chocolate Banana flavor.

Man I think I am going to have to try one. The funny thing is, I was talking to a friend telling her how I made this yummy smoothie. I used chocolate milk flavored protien a little banana flavored protein and threw in some almonds and told her I wish Starbucks had this! LOL wow they do think of everything. I think mine might have been healthier though;) ok this sounds too good! Man I think I am going to have to try one.

Taste was definitely good, but I wouldn't buy one unless it was my only protein shake option. I'm wondering what the breakdown of ingredients in their "own proprietary whey protein & fiber powder " is? IMO, spend the cals on the Iced Caffe Mochas that you TRULY enjoy ;-) No shame in that at all sista friend!

I am not a coffee/Starbucks drinker, so I have never been tempted before, but I am now! That being said, if I were to walk into a Starbuck's and have to choose between this and a muffin (do they sell muffins?), then this would be my healthier option. I wouldn't call it healthy though. Just my two cents..... I got a chance to sample this at BlogHer and it is very, very, good. I am not a coffee/Starbucks drinker, so I have never been tempted before, but I am now!

I like the way you think about your calories as "spending". Also, good point about the complex carb issue. Prolly not going to be recommended by Hammer Nutrition. Yes, that helps.

I know. people always lecture me on the health bene of wine :)). would I drink it? no. but not because it isnt good for me but Id choose a different way to spend my 250-270 calories (MetRx shake for me. love my metrx)...IMO that's a crapload (the technical term :)) of carbs that arent complex. hmmm, have I helped at all? methinks not :) you know, for me it is 100% about “worth it” which is a personal thing.
