Kellogg's Special K2O Iced Tea Protein Water Mix, 0.49-Ounce, 7-Count Box (Pack of 6)

The "Special K2O Protein Water Mix" is a very good tasting protein mix! I found these while looking for protein drink to use after my morning workouts (ended up using Designer Whey - Designer Whey Isolate 2go Orange Mango, 10 packs), but ended up using these mostly in the afternoon to avoid snacks since they are fairly filling.

These are low in calories (30 per serving), low in carbs (6 total, 5 fiber leaving 1 net, no sugar), and provides 5g of protein.

Recommended!

I absolutely LOVE this product. I am a diabetic and also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, so it's hard for me to eat regular food sometimes. This is a fantastic alternative for me to get more protein--which helps my blood sugars and the fiber is a benefit for my IBS. I've tried the Strawberry Kiwi and the lemonade--those were OK, but this one is great. I love Crystal light iced tea and this is even better than that. As a bonus, I've lost 16lbs since using this product! It helps by holding off my hunger--when I'd normally not eat anything and I truly think by adding this to my day, it keeps my metabolism elevated, instead putting it in starvation mode when I wouldn't eat for 4-5 hours at a time. Definitely recommend this product and especially this flavor--YUM!!

As a gastric bypass patient, I'm always looking for "snacks" that are either "low in calories, high in protein," etc. and this fits both bills. Even has 5 grams of fiber, and who CAN'T use more of that in their lives, huh?

I usually work out in the afternoon, just late enough that lunch has settled and I can elliptical or run without feeling sick, but early enough that when I'm done and showered, I don't want to eat anything and spoil my dinner. These have been great because it ensures I'm drinking water afterwards, and it doesn't leave me feeling ravenous by the time I sit down to actually eat.

I have found that the packets work well in 32 oz of water versus the recommended 16. That leaves the flavor a bit lighter, and I've never had issue with the chalkiness described by some. I tried it in a cup once, and definitely have to say stick with a bottle, it takes some vigorous shaking to make it all dissolve, but well worth it. It's a little pricey, but I'm willing to pay for the convenience and I can reuse water bottles.

Taste was quite strong and left a bad after taste in my mouth. My friends did not even like the taste. I ended up throwing these out.
