Review: Oikos protein shakes

A couple of weeks ago, I spotted these @Oikos protein shakes at @Costco. They have the vanilla flavor in-store and I got the chocolate and caramel at Stop & Shop. Here’s my honest review.

Each shake contains 30g of high-quality, bioavailable protein from a blend of milk protein concentrate and casein isolate. That means your body can actually absorb and use all 30 grams. They also pass The Protein Test with flying colors (at least 10g of protein per 100 calories):

🔘 Caramel & Vanilla: 170 calories, 30g protein, 5g fiber
🔘 Chocolate: 180 calories, 30g protein, 5g fiber

Each one contains just 1g of sugar, 2.5g of saturated fat, and zero artificial sweeteners which is pretty rare for a ready-to-drink shake that still tastes good.

Flavor-wise, they’re solid. The chocolate is definitely the standout, though I’m still partial to my ride-or-die: @Fairlife Nutrition Plan. Caramel was a little too sweet for me but it’s not one of my favorite flavors anyway. That said, if you don’t love Fairlife, I’d recommend giving these a try, especially if you’re looking to work on both your protein and fiber goals in one convenient drink.
