Was ok until we found the gloopy chunks in the bottom that others also have. Disgusting, I was hopeful this would be a good option but with chunks in it… it’s not.

Please be aware I gave this to my child and it was chunky inside. The bottle expires in December 2026. Some were good but this one is not.

Great taste, smooth finish, easy protein
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We loved the taste and thickness of this PediaSure protein shake. I originally got it for my 7 year old, but then purchased more because I liked it myself. The consistency is smooth, and doesn’t have any sort of graininess or after taste. I like it better served cold but my little guy doesn’t have a temperature preference. This is a great way to squeeze in extra protein for picky eaters and busy moms!

CLUMPY MILK
DO NOT PURCHASE! Clumpy milk at the bottom of every single bottle. I see from the reviews that this happens often with these drinks. Disgusting!

Don't buy it
They added artificial sweetener so it has a weird after taste. It also has clumps of milk no matter how much you shake it.

Kid approved taste
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kiddo loves this prodict. Especially the vanilla flavor. The packaging was really cute and tailored towards kids. The characters were just so much more prnounced in this labelling.

Weird aftertaste.
My son regularly drank the sidekicks and loved them. He does not like these- says they have a weird aftertaste- I realized the sugar substitute in it was the cause. He refuses to drink them anymore- his cousin who drinks anything, and I mean anything, refuses to drink these as well. I had high hopes due to his need for additional protein every day, but it did not come through on the flavor. So now we look for alternatives.

Sweet and Smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great option for my picky eater kiddo. It tastes just like melted vanilla ice cream. No issues with chunks or chalky taste either! I also love a shelf stable bottle, but we definitely prefer ours out of the fridge.

Ewww. No. Just no.
What the heck is this? My son took a sip and picked what looked like curdled milk out of his mouth. Dumped and rinsed the bottle and all this crap came out. 🤢 Date is good until December 2026.

Creamy, tasty, and a convenient high-protein shake that’s perfect for busy days.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really impressed with the PediaSure Protein Nutrition Shake in Vanilla. The vanilla flavor is smooth and not overly sweet, and the texture is creamy without being too thick. It's convenient for busy mornings or as a quick snack when you need extra protein. The 8 oz bottle is a good portion size, and it helps keep you feeling satisfied for a while. I also like that it has 14g of protein, no added sugar, and only 80 calories. It's easy to grab on the go and makes a great option for anyone looking for a light, protein-packed drink.

Issues with flavor and texture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8-year old was my taste tester on this one. She typically does like most “smoothie” type drinks. She felt this drink had a lumpy texture and was overly sweet. I also tried a sip and it definitely had that “fake” sugar flavor. It’s a great alternative for kids who need help with extra nutrition, but the texture could be a problem.

The taste is a bit too artificial compared to the Pediasure Sidekick. We also noticed that after sitting for a few hours in the fridge, it starts to separate and develop small clumps, even though it's still within the safe time to drink and not spoiled.

Excellent tasting kids protein
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the convenience of these pre-made shakes! My son does much better at school when he starts his day with protein. He loved the taste and texture. He even asked for more!

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Son love the smell and the taste of it 100% recommend it. It’s very durable because I accidentally dropped it and it did not break. The texture is very thin.

it’s a great option for adding extra protein and nutrition.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect on the go snack, the vanilla flavor is creamy delicious, not overly sweet, 14g of protein and no added sugar. My little one enjoys it. Convenient way to add extra nutrition. The only downside is that the flavor may be a bit unusual for some kids, as it tasted more like an adult protein shake for athletes rather than a typical sweet kid’s drink/snack. However, I’m sure there are plenty of kids who will love it.
