Slim fast shake vs. slim fast cocktail

So, I am a long time user of slim fast (going on 20+ years).  I guess that means I am a constant yo-yo dieter.  Oh well...another story, another time.  

Back to Slimfast.  I have tried their flavors, and keep an eye open for something new.  I joined Influenster a short while ago.  My sister told me I could get selected for a special box of goodies.  She got a #somethingblue box.  And that is keeping her busy.  When I was asked to take a quiz that involved both weight loss (always trying) and drinking (always liking)...I was excited!  I was selected for a Slimfast mix drink box!  #slimfastsexysummer

I got my box Bout a week later... Here is what it looked like:

 

Recipes, glass, bottle of strawberries and cream slimfast and PEANUTS!  Oh, who cares about those? Ok. 

Anyway, a day later I chose to make the Sassy strawberry colada.  So, for any Slimfast connoisseurs out there, you know the difference between the powdered make your own version, and the canned/bottled version.  I am a powdered slim fast girl.  I began mixing my ice in my blender.  I added the ingredients and took my first sip....

Ok....hmmmm....

My face is a thinking face....thinking I needed to drink this one and make another one....

I can say that I am not a fan of the bottled Slimfast.  I would like to try the powdered Slimfast in a mix.  I thought of a vanilla vodka mixed with the vanilla Slimfast?   I will let you know what that tastes like.  I give this drink one thumb up and one thumb down.  I can definitely taste the weird taste that keeps me buying the powdered mix.  But, any excuse to drink, I am all for it!
