EAS shakes suck

Yuck. Just was forced to drink a nearly-expired pink purportedly strawberry flavored EAS premixed shake.

I forgot why it had been sitting on the shelf at work long enough to nearly be "officially" undrinkable. Bleccch. Watery badness.

if i ever get shakes out at nutrition stores, i always get metrx because you know they're going to be decent.

These things are awesome. Apple pie flavored...

i've had myoplex a lot as well. They're ok, but not my favorite by any stretch.

I've had EAS before, and they were meh, if i remember right. So, you may had a hard time telling the difference between the taste of a fresh or expired one.

EAS is the WORST! Figures it was the first protein shake I ever tried years ago and totally turned me off of them for a long time.

We have some packets that are great. But, you make them with milk, have to blend them, and those suckers are THICK!
I havent' tried the premade.

EAS shakes suck

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

Never have tried EAS premade stuff, but their 100% whey is pretty good.

MuscleMilk RTD's are a different story though, very good.

The help for EAS is to make sure they are cold. Any other way and they are puke material.

I guess I'm on my own here. I'm a fan of EAS protein. Vanilla powder (I don't like the chocolate) or chocolate/strawberry premade.

Perhaps I'm biased because they are the cheapest ones I can find. Either way, they taste pretty good.

Perhaps you need to lower your standards.

I'm a fan of the chocolate and vanilla ones. Other flavors, not so much

Nope, I love the vanilla too. I've tried some others, but this is my favorite. Only vanilla, though.

I was an EAS fan forever when I was failing out of my numerous body for life challenges. but that was before I discovered the health food store. I was a muscle milk light fan forever, several months ago, I was totally into the cake batter and the chocolate brownie. I have elimnated artificial sweetners from my diet, and now I can't stand them. I am sure I couldn't deal with an EAS shake right now, and wouldn't even try.

trying to understand the mentality of putting a mad face on your sub line when you're a spammer. Are the sites gonna make us mad? why go then? wouldn't a happy face be better?

LisaS · 03-16-2009, 12:05 PM

the other spams I saw had mad face and thumbs down - really odd.

Aoife · 03-16-2009, 12:09 PM

maybe they were divorcées? or maybe just bridezillas who paid too much for their dress and are trying to help others find good dresses? I donno. Is a puzzlement!

I've bought the EAS "carb control" boxed drinks for some time now. The only drinkable EAS flavors are the two kinds of choc (fudge & "rich dark"?) and the hard to find "cafe latte" or something like that.

Vanilla and strawberry both.... eek.

Now, I'm opposite of the cold thing - I like them heated up like hot chocolate, sometimes mixed with coffee. Not bad at all - I only stopped drinking them recently because the protein that is in them is mostly soy. MuscleMilk light is somewhat better, as is "full priced" EAS/Myoplex shakes. Guess you get what you pay for, eh? ;-)
