Zero-sugar protein shake in 4 flavors, matcha wins: Switch On Diet

Lately I've been skipping the crash-diet approach and managing my weight in a smarter, tastier way. When you diet, you always end up torn between taste and health, but trying the Switch On protein shake made that worry disappear. Here are the small perks I noticed eating it myself, no sugarcoating! ^^

Is the Switch On shake pouch easy to shake?

The Switch On protein shake pouch is roomier than other products, so I could add plenty of water or milk and shake it without it overflowing. The big package size was the first thing I liked when I saw the product.

With this kind of pouch shake, adding liquid usually fills the space completely, so the powder clumps or it's hard to shake, right? But the Switch On pouch is generous compared with others, so I could shake it freely with no clumping :) I personally prefer a smoother drink rather than a thick texture, so I add a bit more water or milk than the recommended amount. Because the pouch is so roomy, I can pour in extra liquid without worrying about spills and adjust it exactly to my taste. That was a really big plus!

What's in the Switch On protein shake?

The Switch On protein shake is said to combine 4 types of protein with 0g of sugar, plus dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. It's not just about filling your stomach, so I checked the ingredients carefully too. The brand says its in-house R&D team created an absorption-focused custom formula.

• 4-type protein blend: WPI (whey protein isolate), WPC (whey protein concentrate), ISP (isolated soy protein) and WPH (whey protein hydrolysate) are blended for fast absorption and lasting fullness, says the brand.
• 0g sugar: the most important point for dieters! Sugar is cut to 0g and it's packed with protein, so you can drink it guilt-free while managing your diet.
• Synergy nutrients: rich in dietary fiber for lasting fullness, plus 8 vitamins and 3 minerals for nutritional balance, says the brand.

Which of the 4 Switch On shake flavors tastes best?

Of the four Switch On flavors, my top pick is matcha. Grain is the classic nobody dislikes, chocolate is for sweet cravings, and almond works as a breakfast replacement. Taste is what matters most, after all! Here's a quick rundown of the four flavors I tried.

Matcha 🍃: my top pick, I ordered another box

This is my number one! If you usually like green tea flavors, I recommend it without hesitation. It's not too sweet, and the bittersweet, nutty character of matcha really comes through. I ordered another box right after trying it haha

Grain 🌾: a nutty classic like misutgaru

It's nutty like misutgaru (Korean roasted multigrain powder) made from 15 grains. It has crunchy flakes, so chewing is fun too, and it's the classic flavor that nobody dislikes and that keeps you full.

Chocolate 🍫: an alternative for sweet cravings

The best alternative when you crave something sweet on a diet. The chocolate flavor is so rich you can hardly believe it's 0g sugar, and mixed with milk it tastes as good as store-bought chocolate milk.

Almond 🥜: a clean breakfast replacement

It has the nutty, mild taste of almonds. It isn't fishy and has a clean aftertaste, so it's really nice as a light breakfast replacement.

Why you need protein while dieting

Did you know that at the same weight, more muscle makes your body line look much slimmer? If you simply starve, you lose muscle first and your body loses firmness, but eating well-absorbed protein like Switch On's is said to help you build a firmer, prettier line even at the same weight.

Wrapping up

I'm glad dieting can be this tasty these days. haha If you want to manage your health while eating well, why not start lightly with Switch On? I'm going to keep up my diet happily with the box of matcha I've stocked up!
