8-pack Slim-Fast! 3-2-1 Ready To Drink (10-oz) in Rich Chocolate Royale, French Vanilla, Creamy Milk Chocolate, Strawberries & Cream $7 + Free Shipping

Thanks! I love French vanilla, especially blended with a few strawberries. It is a quick way to get a decent breakfast in. I also keep one or two in the grad student lounge so I don't resort to crummy/expensive campus food when I'm stuck in the library for hours.

great deal thanks!

rats. I just bought these friday without the coupon price. Good find, I'm getting more!

Ok for lactose intolerant people?

what is the normal price on these?

Does this stuff even work?

Slim Fast is basically sugar water laced with artificial chemicals that's been topped off with a little skim milk.

This stuff is low quality crap. It's shocking this is advertised as a "diet" food. Example [slim-fast.com]:

FAT FREE MILK, WATER, SUGAR, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, GUM ARABIC, CANOLA OIL, CELLULOSE GEL, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL, MALTODEXTRIN, SOY LECITHIN, CELLULOSE GUM, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, CARRAGEENAN, SODIUM BICARBONATE, SUCRALOSE AND ACESULFAME POTASSIUM (NONNUTRITIVE SWEETENERS), SODIUM CITRATE, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (RED 3), CITRIC ACID.

Sure it contains a bunch of vitamins and minerals:

MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ASCORBATE, VITAMIN E ACETATE, ZINC GLUCONATE, FERRIC ORTHOPHOSPHATE, NIACINAMIDE, CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, MANGANESE SULFATE, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE, RIBOFLAVIN, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, FOLIC ACID, CHROMIUM CHLORIDE, BIOTIN, SODIUM MOLYBDATE, POTASSIUM IODIDE, PHYLLOQUINONE (VITAMIN K1), SODIUM SELENITE, CYANOCOBALAMIN (VITAMIN B12), CHOLECALCIFEROL (VITAMIN D3). SWEETENED WITH A NUTRITIVE SWEETENER AND NONNUTRITIVE SWEETENERS. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY.

But these are artificially created in a lab and are added to make the product appear healthy. You can't compare such vitamins and minerals to those in whole foods.

Yeah but...chocolate flavor! And honestly, if you're grabbing breakfast 'on the go', this is probably healthier than what most people would snag.

It matters whether a vitamin/mineral is artificial or natural?
Thats news to me.

In for creamy milk chocolate. I use these for days at the office I skip breakfast or lunch!

Quote from tp4tissue : Their molecular shape are VERY different. However, there's no absolute proof that it matters. Still,, you'd be an idiot to think you could live off um' though. BTW,, Slimfast,,, if you wanna be FAT forever,, start chugging.

Almost all synthetic vitamins are identical and indistinguishable to wild type vitamins. The only exception, and most often cited, is vitamin E, where the body only absorbs half of the synthetic type. The other half is discharged from the body, and vitamin manufacturers take this into account.

It just takes the internet to confirm. Try it.

Decided to order a pack.
I figure they will be good for breakfast sometimes.
