Reasons to relish LiL’Goodness Prebiotic Break Shakes
Taste
Looking for a satiating start to the day? LiL’Goodness Prebiotic Break Shakes are a nutritious way.
Vanilla- No exaggeration, LiL’Goodness Prebiotic Break Shake in the vanilla variant tasted like vanilla ice cream. The sweetness was balanced, despite having 40% less sugar. Thumbs up. It was quite refreshing to sip on this.
Chocolate- The chocolate variant tasted fairly good. It was not overwhelmingly sweet. The chocolate shake featured a slightly bitter taste, which is a characteristic flavor profile of dark chocolate. Decadent.
Consistency
Thick, luscious, and creamy?
Vanilla- This variant had a smooth consistency. It was flowy but desirable. It doesn’t coat the palate but was quite satiating. The smoothness was a delightful surprise, considering they contain oats too.
Chocolate- Compared to Vanilla, this variant was marginally thicker. Despite having oats, the shake was smooth on the palate and devoid of grainy or gritty textures. Though thick, it had the milkshake-like flowy consistency.
