EAS Carb Control Protein Shakes - REVIEW

In our busy lives, it's so difficult to keep on track with our nutritional goals. I know that in the past, I have barely had time for breakfast AT ALL, let alone a healthy one. When I got on this low carb kick back in February, I really wanted to find a fast breakfast that aligned with my new healthy lifestyle. For a while, I was waking up earlier than usual to make turkey bacon and eggs (which is still a scrumptious breakfast lol.) However, on the mornings when I was just too tired or already had to wake up super early, this breakfast idea didn't pan out as well and I was usually left grabbing a high carb protein bar or having no breakfast at all. My breakfast life changed when my boss at College of Sciences introduced me to this amazing product: EAS Carb Control Protein Shakes.


These shakes are literally AWESOME. I promise, if you are looking for a yummy, quick breakfast that will not only fit into your busy life but will also keep you FULL for the morning - this is your drink!


There is so much to love about this product. First of all, let's talk taste. How many times have you tried a quick breakfast drink only to have to hold your nose every time you try to take a drink? I know I've tried a few that I couldn't stomach, but luckily EAS has great taste down. The shakes come in a variety of flavors including chocolate fudge, dark chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, caramel latte, and more. My personal favorite is the chocolate fudge - it reminds me of chocolate milk as a kid :) So, as far as taste and variety goes, this product is awesome.


Now let's talk nutrition. As you all know, this low carb/high protein kick I'm on is what drives most of my food selections. This product is perfect for that because it has (wait for it) 17 GRAMS of protein and only 3 net carbs! I know, amazing right? This product fits perfectly into my diet and the best part? It keeps me FULL. I never have to worry about getting the mid morning hunger pains because the protein satisfies me all morning.


Okay, so we have a great tasting shake with a variety of flavors that's great for you, could it get any better? YES. Because along with being super convenient, it's also super affordable! The average 4 pack at Publix runs around $5.00 (that's only $1.25 each!) This is a great alternative for other breakfast options, especially if you're hitting up the drive through and paying about $5.00 for one meal.


Overall, this product is just AWESOME. It's great for breakfast, mid-afternoon snack, or right before a great work out. Trust me, if you're searching for a convenient, great tasting, healthy breakfast - this should be your next purchase!

    1. They are right with all the other protein and meal bars/shakes! Ask your cashier where the Special K or Cliff bars are and you're sure to find them! :)

  3. I really love these shakes too....until EAS changed the formula!!! These shakes are no where as yummy as they use to be & now they have wayyyy to much sodium. :( Very Very Disappointed! I have switched to Muscle Milk Light however I do not like the taste of Muscle Milk as good!
