I simply cannot tolerate artificial sweetners so this product is not for me. I thought perhaps Stevia might not be as unpalatable to me as some I have tasted in the past but it also set my teeth on edge and is way too sweet. I sampled Chocolate Truffle which was a "No", thinking perhaps Vanilla Bean, ( one of my favorite flavors) might be less sweet, tried it, again a "No", not willing to give up on the convenience of having a wholesome morning protein drink from New Zealand grass fed cows, I sampled the coffee flavor.....again, nope. I am regretful that my body will not accept this product as I believe it to be top quality which is why I purchased it. For those who can tolerate the Stevia sweetness, I found the Vanilla Bean and Café Latte to both be excellent in the flavor aspect even from the very small sample I tasted; the Chocolate Truffle was a bit bland for chocolate. So, I am back to mixing my own protein shakes. Bummer! I should add that shipment was prompt and it was very well packaged.
I was really glad that Iconic came out with this product. All the flavors seemed great, but I was nervous about committing to a 12-pack without knowing that I'd love the flavor. Fortunately, I was able to try all five thanks to this variety pack. I was really impressed with all of them and could see myself getting a 12-pack of any of them, which will be nice if I want to change up the flavor I buy in the future. My favorite was the Coconut Matcha. It was a really interesting flavor I can't find from other protein drinks and has a nice little boost of caffeine to keep me going in the afternoon.
I ordered the sampler pack because I couldn't decide between the flavors, and ended up liking all 5. The shakes are an economical and healthy way to have a quick, delicious and nutritious meal. Follow the instructions, they are better served chilled. We will be ordering more!
These are a thinner consistency, but they are delicious. They don't upset my stomach like other brands of protein shakes. Ready to drink means I can keep one in my purse to keep me from choosing unhealthy alternatives.
Arrived super quickly, easy and convenient - I love that these drinks have the same amount of protein (20g) as most other protein shakes, but less than half the calories (only 130!) And it actually tasted nice too!

Iconic Chocolate Truffle and Vanilla have been the only protein drinks I will drink for over a year now. I was so happy to try their new Coconut Matcha and Golden Milk Turmeric Ginger. They are both fabulous!!! Love that Iconic is using the amazing benefits of Matcha, Turmeric and Ginger in addition to their fabulous standard flavors. Great new additions to Iconic's selection!
This beverage is only 130 calories and it is a very generous portion. I gave it four instead of five stars only because it has a "peculiar" taste. I'm not saying unpleasant, just odd. My guess is that it's about the lack of sugar and other additives, tastes that we've all become so used to that other tastes seem "off" to us. Try it. The taste might not be for you. On balance, I like it to start my day with, on a healthy, low-fat, low-sugar basis.
I really liked the delivery time, quick!! And it is packaged very nicely. Thats also important!!
Has a very good flavor, I got the variety pack which had several flavors. All flavors tasted like what the label said they were. The calories on these are in the 120 to 130 range. Personally, I couldn't use it for breakfast or any other meal as it is just not substantial enough. Gave only 3 stars for money value as it is expensive for the amount of product and with it's low caloric count and fiber only in the 3 gram range, it just doesn't hold up as a breakfast replacement unless you don't normally eat breakfast. Great flavor but not very filling. Expensive if buying as a snack or meal.
At first I thought this product was a bit bland until I did further research and realized my "favorite" brand was full of sugar. For health reasons I am going to re-adjust my taste buds and realize that not everything needs to taste like a fully leaded milkshake.
