I like the Optima Slimfast fine--not as good as the Slimdown but the COD and I agreed the Slimdowns taste better because of the tons of sugar in them! I hope to find the low carb this weekend--I think Albertsons will special order too--they did in Arizona. Because of the better nutritional value I can learn to like them. I like my shake either blended with ice or just poured over crushed ice--seems like it lasts forever that way. I'm with you--I need to find my lost motivation. I think lately I am just tired of everything allowed--I hope last nights splurge will help and not hurt!

Bumping this up for those interested.

I do love the chocolate slimfast. Found the low carb at Target a couple of weeks back. They are not as good to me and have a higher fat content. So fat...starch...??? But like you I love them because they are a no brainer. My daughter is away for her first year at college, so it takes some motivation for me to cook for myself.

I am bumping this up so you can all compare the shake options. I think the LA Slimdowns taste great but when you see the amount of suger you will know why! I use the SLimfast Optima and add a string cheese--seems to make it pretty comparable to the Slimdown

Thanks for bumping this up. I like the shakes for days when I am on the go, and slimfast is a much more affordable option. I also like the string cheese idea. I had noticed that the optima doesn't have as much protein, so it would help. I also LOVE string cheese

:thanks: Thanks Lea Ann! I am running out of the Slim Downs, have 2 left in the freezer. I think I will look for the Slim Fast Optima on my next grocery trip!
