so in an effort to prevent myself from going out and trying them, i instead emailed them back for nutritional information. this is their answer. BE WARNED!!!!!

Holy Crap!

Yummy!

wow, they sound like liquid heaven! a few of them have my carb allowance for 5 days....

Sure beats those Slim Fast shakes.

Do you suppose if we added a scoop of protein powder to one of those, it could be considered good for us? Hmmm...

I think even I'd dump from all that sugar - and I didn't have bypass surgery!

Pass the insulin, please.

Maybe they ought to change the name to 'Death by Chocolixers'!

not a nice thought....

30 grams of fat. :'(

I am so glad you posted this. As someone who occasionally indulges in a coffee type specialty drink, I NEED to know this info. I think that with all types of WLS, liquid calories can be a real issue. It is way too easy to slurp down an amount of calories (and fat, in this case) that it would take half a days eating to manage with real food. Scary, scary stuff. I, for one, need this reality check every so often. Thanks for providing it.
