1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/03/2023Received open box, shut with duct tape.Bought it and pickup from our local Walmart. At home noticed the box was sealed with purple duct tape. Weird right, open it there's a missing container. Check it out further somehow all of them only half full. Every single one of it. Try to open one and dump it, inside was water. Somehow someway someone bought it emptied it out, every single one of them, refilled it with water and returned it to Walmart. Then Walmart put it back in the shelf. Luckily no one drink it without knowing it's been tampered and replace. It just shock me. Walmart issued refund.Iw

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/27/2023So disgusted...I had a similar experience to another reviewer named Mich under this product. I loved Equate protein shakes, I usually drink 2-3 throughout the day to meet my protein goals and I've ordered over 10 boxes in the past 3 months. In one of my drinks, I tasted something flaky and spit it out because I knew something wasn't right. I turned on my flashlight and looked inside the shake bottle to see some type of solvable plastic inside that would get mixed in with the drink every time you would go for a sip. I was absolutely disgusted and never experienced this in all of my times buying equate shakes. Absolutely disappointed and disgusted , not sure if I'll buy again. Plus, they recently marked up prices by 15% of the shakes so that doesn't help.dillon

2.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/17/2022Wasted moneyI ordered two chocolate protein shakes. I received one chocolate and one caffe latte protein shakes. I can not drink caffeine. So half of my delivery is wasted. I can't exchange the latte to a store because they don't have chocolate , that's why I ordered them to be shipped.M

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/30/2021foreign material found insideI have been buying these for awhile. Occasionally, there'd be a sludgy, thick batch. Today, I got a new surprise... I found a hard chunk and poured the rest into a glass. It looks like black rubber or plastic. not sure who to get in touch with about this.Charlene

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/07/2021New Formula :(I'll be honest, after reading the reviews, I was worried to buy the new formula. I bought it anyways, but saved my receipt in the case of needing to return. I had the old formula box to compare to and the ingredients DID MAJORLY CHANGE. It's also 170 calories instead of 160. It wasn't thick and goopy at room temp, but DID get thick and goopy after being refrigerated. It also doesn't taste as good generally. It is a shame when they change things that don't need changed. Guess I'll buy Premier Protein from now on. (1st photo is new, 2nd is old)Jennifer

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/30/2021So THICK it's disgusting!!I regularly buy these shakes. About a month ago I noticed it was so thick you had to squeeze it out of the bottle. At first I thought I got a defective case. Then I bought a second and it was the same way!! I wrote customer service to see if the ingredients had changed. They responded and said someone will be in contact with me. I've heard nothing and it's been about a week. Now I'm out $30 on two cases. I will not keep purchasing. It makes me want to gag while drinking now. The old version was so good, I wish they wouldn't have changed it. I tried adding it to coffee and it clumps and sits at the bottom like sludge. It won't even mix in. Don't purchase unless they change it back!Brittany

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/28/2021Something changed. Maybe time for a recallBeen using this for a few years. The taste was great and comparable to the brand names with a great price but now I'm experiencing the same thing as several other reviewers. The shakes are like pudding. Gone through one case and unfortunately have three more cases. Hoping not but if this is a batch issue, most likely all LOTS from that batch is bad. Not trusting this to drink even if it will thin out at room temperature, plus don't want to drink it warm anyway. Not sure if I can trust it again if they don't have better quality control or at least acknowledge the issue and recall and reimburse for the affected LOTS This LOT is L203430JWalker

2.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/26/2021New formula is 2 thick. Old formula was the best.I'm scratching my head with questions. For the last 3 plus years (and likely longer), the Vanilla Equate shakes were almost identical to the Premier shakes. Then something happened. On my most recent order, I "chatted" with Walmart and received a refund on one case because the shake was so thick it had to be forced out of the container that the shake comes in. Actually, I thought the shake was defective. What I hadn't realized is that the same issue was present in the other 3 cases I purchased. Now, each day I use this "new" formula, and I'm scratching my head wondering why the formula was changed. Is this thick formula "normal?" I love this product in its original form. If this new "thick" formula continues, I will likely return (unfortunately) to Premier Protein shakes. BTW I noticed on the "new" container that the calories are up to 170 from 160. Why the change? 10 calories isn't a deal-breaker for me. Yet, I noticed that there's an additional 1 gm of saturated fat. I'm wondering whether the saturated fat added to the "new" formulation is a "thickener"? If yes, Walmart, please remove the thickener. Not because I'm concerned about 1 gm of saturated fat or an extra 10 calories. Rather, please remove it because the prior formulation was excellent. It shouldn't have been changed.Stephen

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/03/2021If you like to drink pudding, this is for you!!I used to love this in my coffee. The product has changed and now it is like a thick pudding in a carton. I did call the customer service number and all she recommended was to add some milk to thin it out. No thank you or offer for a refund. I did get a refund when I returned the product at Walmart. Very disappointing.HEATHER

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/01/2021Is it a liquid or a solid?Did they change the ingredients? This used to be so good and cheap but unfortunately the last 3-5 cases we bought have been as thick as yogurt trying to drink. It's more of a solid than a liquid at this point. Nasty. Unfortunately we will switch to something elseawesome

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/11/2021what happened? absolutely disgusting nowI have been buying these for over a year and a half, lived them. got some at my local walmart the other day and when I went to pour it out, I tipped the box and nothing came out. not even a trickle, it was the texture of custard. thought I got a bad batch so I returned the two boxes. bought another box while I was there with a totally different expiration. same thing happened this morning! looked at reviews and I'm not the only one experiencing this. these are horrid. I have 4 cases being delivered this afternoon as I like to stock up, but I'll be returning immediately and switching elsewhere. these are not shakes, you have to squeeze the box and get out GLOBS of mush.AMANDA

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/09/2021Formula change ????Did the formula change on this product? I have bought these religiously for about a year now and have never had any issues. But the last 3 times I've purchased, it has been a thick sludge. The first time I thought maybe it was a bad batch, then I went back and got the same texture the 2nd and 3rd times. Luckily when I called the number for customer service (which I never do) they were helpful and offered a gift card for reimbursement. If you like drinking pudding, this is the drink for you. I don't think I will be buying this his again.Jessica

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/27/2020ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!EWWW! I don't understand what is wrong with this product! This shake I received must be spoiled! There is no other explanation as to why it tastes so disgusting! Me and my daughters almost vomited. The expiration date is not until 2021, but they must have put expired cartons in a newer box. I'm inserting a picture of the white and brown chunks that were found in the cartons of chocolate shake.jahlightisbright
