ICONIC Protein Shakes, Vanilla Bean

These are some of the best-tasting protein shakes I’ve tried—especially on the cleaner, more natural side. I’ve tested a lot of different brands, and I would 100% buy these again. They’re creamy, filling, and actually satisfying as a meal replacement. So far, I’ve had the chocolate and coffee flavors—both delicious—and I’m already checking to see what other flavors are available.For comparison, I also like Levels protein powder, but I usually add that to yogurt or oatmeal since it wasn’t quite as filling on its own. These shakes, though, are perfect when I need something quick and nourishing.Especially after surgery.

Iconic drinks are a wonderful, healthy, vitamin and mineral drink, and unlike many others, it tastes good! Great as a meal substitute, in-between-meal snack, or recovery drink after a workout. The chocolate and vanilla are my favorites, and I try to always have some handy in my refrigerator. Hard to find at any grocery or health food stores in my area, so I get mine from Amazon!

I am having some surgery and the surgeon wanted me to drink some other brand prior to surgery - (Impact). Unfortunately I could NOT tolerate the flavor of that other brand - the 5th ingredient is anchovy paste. I was feeling defeated until I found Iconic protein drinks! Surgeon approved them as substitute. The Iconic drinks are VERY good - maybe a little too sweet, BUT it's tolerable. Comes in Chocolate truffle, Caffe Latte, and Vanilla bean. Very, very good flavor compared to all the others I have tried - at least 6 different brands. If you need a meal replacement or a high protein drink prior to surgery - look no further. This drink it the answer. No artificial ingredients. Super important to me. And they are shelf stable - DO refrigerate before drinking. Can be mixed with fruit or flavor drops or some ice to make it more like a milk shake. They are lactose free. Not mention the fair price. The other brand (Impact) is almost a hundred bucks per case of 12. This is about $38 per 12. I will definitely be purchasing only this brand any time I need it. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers.

Overall these are decent! I bought the vanilla. The flavor is good, great smooth texture, and they keep me full for a bit after drinking. There is a little bit of an after taste that leaves my mouth feeling kind of filmy, which is the only negative I have with these.

I love, love, love this protein shake! No sucralose and good for the gut. Checks all the boxes for a clean alternative protein shake. Read the label. This is the real deal. Tastes great and mixes well with coffe for a latte drink.

Iconic protein drinks are delicious. I love this product and this company. I love that. All the ingredients is fresh natural ingredients. My only issue with them is I wish they would make a protein bar as well.

Love this shake. I even poured it on my fiber cereal instead of milk.

When I first bought a sampler pack of these Iconic drinks, I was puzzled by all the 5 star reviews and did not care for most of the flavors. However after trying each one a few more times, i decided that the Vanilla, Turmeric-Ginger, and Coffee were not so bad after all.The low sugar content is admirable in these drinks, as my sugar levels have been high lately so I appreciate this feature more now. However, the monk fruit and Stevia that they are using still makes the Vanilla a bit too sweet.If the drinks are really cold however, I have noticed that they don't taste quite as sweet. The Vanilla drinks could also benefit from a more pronounced vanilla flavor. The flavor tends to be subtle and most of it is off-set by the sweetener anyway. The other flavors are more pronounced, especially the Coffee and the Turmeric-Ginger.I would stay away from the Coconut Matcha flavor however - it is horrible and tastes like medicine. I couldn't even finish that one, I actually threw the rest out. I hardly ever do that.So far I have purchased the Turmeric Ginger, Vanilla, and Coffee separately. I like the idea of what the company is doing and trying to create. I do believe that the flavors could be improved slightly and the sweetness level could be reduced. Overall though it is a good line of products, although on the pricier side. 3.5 stars, rounded up.P.S. Initially I was concerned that they were using tap water as the base - tap water potentially contains all manner of chemicals from chlorine and lead, to arsenic and more. The company assured me that they are using filtered water. I would still prefer that they would state this on the label, that would help.
