Quest RTD Shake Review
Taste
Vanilla – The quest vanilla protein is one of my favorite vanillas on the market. Not only is it a very simple flavor it is executed very well. Quest carried over that spectacular flavor to their RTD. What I did notice is how there is a stronger sense of sweetness in this ready to drink beverage compared to the protein powder.
Chocolate – Just like the vanilla the chocolate is on the sweet side. At first, you get a milk chocolate flavor that soon is paired with a sweet aftertaste. Just like with most protein powders on the market, they tend to be on the sweet side and not the dense side. I personally enjoy this, as I want something to hit my sweet tooth and knock back a craving. The Quest RTD shake does just that!
Salted Caramel – The salted caramel is a very dense and luscious caramel-flavored RTD Shake. What I do like about this is the salt is on the subtle side, which shows quest played it safe and found a happy medium with a fine balance. This way the shake is not overly sweet and takes away from the enjoyable caramel flavor. All in all this was my favorite of the bunch!
