EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control Protein Shake Chocolate Fudge Ready-to-Drink, 17 g of Protein 11 fl oz Bottle, 12 Count

**Update 4/2/2018**: I'm upgrading my review back up to 4 stars, but with one caveat: Make sure you get the newest "Carb Control" version rather than the older "Live Lean + Toned" version of this product. The new version (which says "Carb Control" on the package) goes back to the original formula, which is really good. I would happily give that 5 stars, except for the fact that (even after all this time) Amazon is still not guaranteeing you won't get the "Live Lean + Toned" version, which is slimy and disgusting. So if you order and receive a version of the product that says "Live Lean + Toned" on the label, don't drink it - just send it back.======================**Update 5/10/2017**: Amazon is still selling both versions, and will not guarantee that you will get the good stuff ("Carb Control") rather than the disgusting, undrinkable stuff ("Live Lean + Toned"). Abbott should do the right thing and just recall the "Live Lean + Toned" version rather than continuing to sell this nasty, slimy stuff to an unsuspecting public. My advice: Don't buy any of this until they guarantee you'll get the new stuff, or if you do buy it and get the "Live Lean + Toned" version, send it back. It's terrible.========================**Update 4/7/2017**: The Manufacturer has announced (in the comments of this review) that they are bringing back the old "AdvantEdge Carb Control" version, and it should be available on Amazon "in the next few weeks". That version was awesome, so I plan to revise my review appropraitely once the good stuff is back out again. My 1-star review was for the "Live Lean + Toned" version, which they are now discontinuing.If your thinking of buying this, make sure you get the (upcoming) "AdvantEdge Carb Control" version of these shakes - not the "Live Lean + Toned" version (which is the one that has problems).For the record, Abbott/EAS has been very responsive to my concerns and to those of the other folks who had issues with the "Live Lean + Toned" version, so that speaks really well for their customer focus and followup. I would like to say thanks to Abbott for how well they've handled this problem, and I'm looking forward to being able to buy the good stuff again!!!======================================**Original Review from September 2016**: I used to really love the EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control shakes, but the new "Live Lean + Toned" version is awful. Every one I've opened has clunks of slime clogging the opening - I guess that's unmixed "protein". Yuck. Then the rest of the shake is about as thin as skim milk, and no matter how much you shake it, it still doesn't mix, so it's all pretty much like skim milk with floating chunks of slime.At first I thought maybe I just got a spoiled batch, but they all seem to be this way now. I'm not sure why they changed the formula, but the new stuff is undrinkable. I'm dumping it out and cancelling my "subscribe and save" (I was ordering 2 dozen a month of the old ones).If you're thinking of buying this product, don't. If you're still not convinced, maybe try 1 shake rather than buying a dozen. That way you won't be dumping the rest down the drain like I'm doing.=======================================**Edit 10/19/2016**: In response to the manufacturer's comment, I called EAS/Abbott to discuss the problem, and they offered to send me a refund. They were interested in the lot number from the packages, but unfortunately I had already thrown them out...so if you have a similar issue, it's worth talking to the manufacturer (and keeping the bad product so they can trace the issue). I still will not be buying this "Live Lean + Toned" version, and I really wish they'd just revert to the old formula, which I always really liked. Anyway, thanks to the manufacturer for at least offering a refund, and for listening to my concerns.

I am insulin resistant and I have tried to work out and lose weight with no results. My doctor told me the only way I was going to lose weight was to decrease my carbs and increase my protein. I have been using these for a few months now and I have lost 11 pounds. I started with just one in the morning but now I do one in the morning and one at night. I love the chocolate and the strawberry!

I used the AdvantEDGE shakes for years specifically because the primary ingredient was vegetable-based protein (soy and pea). The new formula is whey-based. I am allergic to whey protein. I do not know of any other suitable ready-to-drink product on the market. These used to be great for me -- I could throw them in my bag with a protein bar and be ready for the day. Very frustrating.

Something is wrong with this newer batch of strawberry...ordered once before and it was delicious. This new batch is "curdled", lumpy and downright gross!! Fortunately, I contacted Amazon, and they shipped me out a case of the chocolate fudge flavor without question or having to send back the disgustingly textured strawberry and all is well

I like the taste of choc fudge and quick to use for breakfast and evening snack. Love the free shipping Do NOT like the lady who delivers with man in her car of product. She leaves packages outside screened door of screen porch so close to door that if I tried to open door I would punch hole in the screen. The door bell is not rung. Packages that the couple deliver is placed right in front of door ( not room to open door) and is left right out in plain sight and is easy to be stolen. My USPS, UPS, and FedEx delivery person, opens the screen door and leaves it on the porch , thus out of the weather, sun, and unseen by robber. My delivery person needs to make sure packages are secure or else it will be disputed to the credit card company as undelivered. Otherwise, Amazon is doing a great job, wide selection, great prices, and fast delivery. My family does a lot of business with your company.

I stumble across Advant Edge Carb Control back in August 2017. I had a coupon and picked it up at a local store given I was going out of town and needed easy access to protein drinks on the road. I was driving over 1320 miles across the midwest. It was perfect! I have been buying these protein drinks since August 11, 2017. It is worth the money! My appetite has been curved, and I am less likely to graze during the day. I had a weight loss surgery over 4 years ago. Finding a protein drink that in not dairy has been a problem. I found these and I am in love. I found them on Amazon about 2 weeks ago, and got the case in the mail very quickly, last week. I will continue to buy this product. It has helped me loose 10lbs in the last 2 months. I am very excited about that! It has also helped me maintain the protein levels my doctor need me to maintain. I highly recommend this product! I buy the Chocolate ones only. I have not yet tried any other flavors.

I have subscribe and save setup for the original Milk Chocolate Nutrition protein shake. All of the sudden last month I started receiving the Carb Control shake.I tried one to see if it was just the branding that had changed. To my chagrin, not only are the ingredients and nutritional makeup different, but the taste was VERY different. I found it much more powdery and unsatisfying. There's also more saturated fat in the Carb Control shakes.When I went to the Amazon page the image and description had changed to say "Product May Vary". This was something recently added because it definitely did not say "Product May Vary" in my first several orders.Overall, feels like a bait and switch. Very disappointed.
