Grenade's Carb Killa Bars have taken the world by storm by rapidly becoming the number 1 selling protein bar of them all. Grenade have now decided to introduce a ready to drink protein shake with the same name. With all the hype around the bars, how do the shakes match up?

Higher Protein Content Than Carb Killa Bars

With 25g of protein in each shake, possibly the most important number from an athlete's perspective is actually superior in the shakes than the bars. As much as that is impressive though, drinks are almost always higher in protein than a bar as they do not need to contain the other ingredients a bar needs to provide texture. By itself, 25g of protein is still quite good but some shakes such as ISO-100 Clear are substantially higher in protein content.

The actual protein in these shakes comes from skimmed milk and milk protein powder with only a small amount of whey. For these reasons, the likes of ISO-100 Clear would be considered superior at least from a nutritional quality standpoint.

What About the Taste?

Although Carb Killa Shakes might be scored down by some for using skimmed milk and milk protein powder, when it comes to taste this is a benefit if you are looking tor a protein shake which is creamier and more like a milkshake. We find that people tend to split into two camps with protein RTD's, some prefer the cleaner, purer quality of drinks like ISO-100 Clear or Whey Refresh, while others are wanting a protein milkshake. If you are in the latter camp then there is little doubt that Carb Killa Shakes deliver in a big way.

Perhaps not as good as the best milkshake like RTD, Oh Yeah! RTD, Carb Killa Shakes nevertheless come close and so we can recommend them for those concerned about taste and protein content but if you prefer protein quality, go with a whey isolate based drink instead.
