I would never pay Full price for this product because I am Frugal, but because they were on sale at my local grocery store for $1.79 each AND I had a coupon for $100 off of 2, I bought 14 of 'em to try out. Each cost me just $1.29. It is definitely a time-saver 'cuz there are no glasses or blenders to clean from making my own!
I had originally bought them for my picky daughter because they have some veggies in them and Greek yogurt protein in them, but after I Figured out the points, I knew this could be a Fab Grab item for when I am on the go. In Fact, I may stop off at grocery stores to buy them with some single-serve apple juice when I'm on long drives and Find myself Feeling snacky, and for the kids too. We have a long drive coming up soon, so I may try that out.
This particular Blue Power Dole Shaker boasts B6 and B12 and is labeled is a fruit and veggies smoothie with Greek yogurt, blueberry, banana, and red beet. The back of the container indicates it is all natural fruits and veggies plus Greek yogurt with pre- and probiotics plus 100% DV of vitamins B6, B12, AND folic acid. It says there is 180 calories as prepared and 5 grams of protein. It also happens to say that satisfaction is guaranteed. There is a little window on the back as well, the bottom of which is the Fill line for an extra thick consistency, and the top of which is the Fill line for a thick consistency. One cup of apple juice took mine to the thick consistency, the top of that window.
This particular Dole Shaker is only 3 Weight Watcher points for me, and that includes the 1 cup of apple juice. It comes out to 1 point for the Shaker and 2 points for the juice. I had this for a snack option today. You can use a Few different juices to mix with them too. The bottle says you can use apple, pineapple, or your Favorite juice.
They come in many Flavors. Here is a picture of those I chose to try out in the Future.
(This is my garage Fridge, so don't judge!)
Update: I just checked the Peach Mango flavored Shaker. If the full cup of apple juice was added to it, it would be 4 points total. The Blue Power alone is 1 point, but this peach-mango alone is 2 points. I'll update with the rest of the points values for the rest of the flavors I have shown. It's just too cold to go out to the garage fridge this time of night. ;)
