Hi Juju,

SlimFast shakes have enormous amounts of sugar, so they're really not the best for you. There are lots of brands, and you should experiment to see what you like. Personally I preferred the powder type that I mixed with milk, sometimes added other things to make a smoothie and sometimes just shaking it up with the milk. The brand I liked was Kashi GoLean, with 30g of protein and 7g of fiber per serving. To my palate, the pre-mixed kind in cans was always too sweet.

There is a slim fast shake out now that is a protein shake.

For me I preferred the pre mixed in the cans, they were more convenient for my lifestyle, and yes they were sweet :)
You aregoing to get many opinions here on what others liked best, only you can decide what works best for you. Trial and error is how I had to figure it out, but by the time I figured it out my liquid phase was almost over, then the need for protein shakes was no more
