Designer Wellness Protein Smoothie, Super Fruit Variety Pack, 12g Whey Protein, Real Fruit Smoothie Snack, No Added Sugar, Low Carb, Gluten-Free, Shelf-Stable Protein Pouches with MCT Oil - 12 Pack (4.2 Fl Oz each)

Squish it first! Squeeze the packet to make the cottage cheese-like curds go away. These taste good and are good for you. At approximately $3.50 a pouch, they aren't inexpensive. The brand IS "Designer Wellness" after all. This is our second batch of DW Protein Smoothies (giggle) and I like these better because they don't taste like bananas. The first box, Variety Pack had Tropical Fruit, Banana Strawberry, and mixed berry. I like bananas, but it is a scent that dwarfs other scents. We still liked them. THIS batch of Super Fruit are better. I think I like the Blueberry Vanilla the best. Raspberry Passion Fruit is flavorfully sour, and Peach mango is a little strangely textured, but fine. If you've had mango or peach nectar, you know the texture is a bit strange. MCT oil is supposed to help with weight loss. I'm still weighting. I WILL say, they have kept me from stuffing unhealthy snacks and treats into my pie hole. I feel relatively full after consuming a pouch. Don't break your neck trying to suck out the last drop. It's impossible. Nonetheless, they are a good size, don't NEED to be refrigerated, great portion size to keep your tummy satiated for a few hours. I am health conscious and the ingredient list is clean and healthy. Each pouch is 4.2 ounces and 120 calories. The sweetness comes from the fruit purees and monk fruit, so they are natural. If you use your fingers to try to smoosh out the lumps before opening, you will have a smooth smoothie. If you forget, you can screw the cap back on after that first chunky swallow, smoosh, then suck. SMOOOOOOOOOthee.

Disgusting, cold or room temperature. Chuncky "smoothy". I have had baby food that tastes so much better. Because I tried a flover each to make sure they were all the same, now I do not qualify for a return or refund. So at least I can warn the next person. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! Also I never leave reviews bc most issues are not that dramatic. This is though I can't pay some one to eat so I have to trash it, what a waste just take your money and put it in the garbage if are tempted to purchase.

These smoothies taste amazing. They are easy to take with and a great burst of energy that lasts because of the high protein. I subscribe and buy a box every month for myself, in different flavors, and I have a subscription to send my mom a box every month too. She loves the small snack size too. Oh plus having the MCT oil added in the puree is an excellent bonus ingredient. This has 3 of my 4 favorite flavors in the regular protein versions. I also love the blue raspberry energy version.

The flavor is fine, good actually. But the texture! I really have trouble not gagging. I have to just swallow it as fast as I can. I knead the pouch over and over and shake it and knead it some more. But it doesn't change the texture. It's just weird, like smooth and lumpy at the same time. I really wish it wasn't that way, because it's basically a good product, and very handy. But I just can't do it. I will finish what I have, it's too pricey to waste EDITED 6-28-23 TO ADD: I want to add to my review to reflect that someone from Designer Wellness emailed me and offered me a refund and apologized for my dislike. (They did NOT ask me to modify or take back my review-they just offered me a refund.) And I did receive a full refund. I wanted to add this because I think that speaks highly of the company.

So finding high protein sources that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and isn’t disgusting (yo everyone’s tastebuds are different and heck mine aren’t even the same just after the surgery everything is different) But this item while a bit chalky or powdery aftertaste feeling the item itself isn’t bad and if eaten slowly but steadily (for those after surgery) it’s not half bad and you get used to it

I rate this one a four because the raspberry is VERY tart. Otherwise, I have bought these a few times, and I like them when I'm in a hurry and don't have time for breakfast or a quick pick-me-up in the middle of the afternoon. I don't see where they really assist with weight loss or overall health. They do curb appetite for a couple of hours. The Vanilla Blueberry is very good. I would buy those again.

Great for elderly, mom was on Hospice for 6 month and 2 months after having one a day she gain weight and was more alert, was participating in the activities. She was discharged from Hospice last week, this was the only change we did. Loved the taste.

I guess these are a "wellness" item but I thought they'd taste good(ish). They taste like chewing a mouthful of random vitamins from grandma's house back in the 1980's...yep, I'm a genXer. Returning for a refund.
