Review: CalNatural Svelte Protein Shakes

I have talked many times here how important it is for me to refuel properly after my longer runs.  The easiest way to do that is by drinking a protein shake of sorts on my way home.  The newest protein shake that I have tried out is the CalNatural Svelte protein shakes.

On top of having 16g of protein per serving, they are non-dairy and certified gluten-free!  Of course, on top of all of that, they have to taste good, right?  These shakes didn’t disappoint!  They were all good, with chocolate being my favorite.  There were a little sweeter than I expected, but they weren’t over-sweetened.  I would buy these again to keep on hand for my long runs.

CalNaturale Svelte shakes can be purchased in stores across the US and online.
