Full Product details
The Kellogg's Special K protein shake is a good tasting drink that comes in three different flavors (Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, French Vanilla).  However it is not a perfect protein shake and one of the issues with the Special K Protein drinks, when compared to some of the other brands out there, is that protein is too low at only 10g and the sugar (18g) and fat (45g) content are way too high. Most of the reviews that we have seen for this product have commented on how it does taste great and have even compared the flavor to some of the Slim Fast drinks, but taste alone does not justify a product as a good meal replacement.

Ideally if you are looking for a good meal replacement then there are much better products out there.  Most of those products will not be found at the local convenience or grocery stores but they can easily be purchased at a supplement store or many of the supplement sites available online.  Brands like Met-RX, Labrada and EAS offer good meal replacement choices that come with more protein and a lot less sugar.   The sugary shakes taste great but in the end they are not much more than just a sugary drink
