Because I'm on the Medifast diet plan and often seen carrying these shakes with me, I'm often asked what they taste like. Most people even scrunch their nose when they ask me this question, as if they are sure that I'm going to confess something unsavory about them.
The truth is, they are not like the chalky diet shakes that you probably remember or fear. The shakes are also really very filling. At first drink the shakes are pretty good, but there are ways to make them taste even better. I've gotten so good at this art that I actually crave the shakes now in the way I used to crave my morning Star bucks. Here's how I make the shakes taste really good:
Weight Protein Powder
First, no matter which flavor you're using (my favorite is the Dutch Chocolate), make sure you consume it as cold as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend using a blender and ice (Medifasts' blender works very well). Doing so will make the vanilla flavored shake taste like a frappacino and the chocolate and banana flavors taste somewhat like milkshakes in their respective flavors. When I have time, I will even refrigerate my shakes over night because this will thicken them up even more and give them a shake like consistency.
Another alternative is to add cold coffee and ice for an iced coffee effect. This is actually very good.
Some people swear by adding no sugar syrups to individualize taste. I especially like raspberry and caramel sugar free syrups added to mine. This gives the shake a really sweet, dessert like flavor. A friend of mine adds crystal light powders to hers to play around with the taste.
With a little practice and individualization, most folks have no problems with making the medifast shakes taste very good and to their liking. Experiment and see what works for you.

Christmas Sales Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein, Rich Chocolate, 2 Pound Overview
Optimum Nutrition ON chocolate100-percent Egg Protein is a dietary supplement with 30 Servings. Containing 22 grams of protein per serving and only 3 grams of carbohydrates. This supplement is low fat and sugar-free, contains aminogen, and is loaded with all 8 essential amino acids. Doesn't contain lactose or aspartame.Nutritionist commonly refer to eggs as the Gold Standard for protein quality. Eggs contain all of the eight essential amino acids (the type that your body cannot make from other substances) and very high levels of total amino acids; especially important sulfur-containing aminos. Eggs are also readily digested and absorbed. As a lactose-free protein source, eggs are often more tolerable to people who have trouble with dairy foods. For these and other reasons, eggs have been a staple of bodybuilders' diets since the beginning of the sport.
The biggest problems with using whole eggs for a major source of dietary protein are the accompanying undesirables (cholesterol and saturated fat) and the inconvenience of trying to store and prepare them when out-and-about. Thanks to advances in egg processing, both of these limitations can be easily overcome. Using specialized equipment and sophisticated processing techniques, the cholesterol-laden egg yolk can be separated from the virtually fat and cholesterol-free egg white to yield a product that is nearly all protein. The liquid egg white protein is then spray-dried with an Instantizing agent to improve mixability and eliminate the need for refrigeration.
The result is a protein powerhouse; ONS 100-percent Egg Protein. A single serving of ON's 100-percent Egg Protein provides the protein equivalent of seven egg whites (22 grams) and takes under 30 seconds to prepare. ON's 100-percent Egg Protein contains only 100 calories, 2-3 grams total carbohydrates, and no sugar. Artificially flavored. Serving scoop included. Notice: Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction.
