When Click approached me to try their beverage and review it - good or bad - I have to say I was intrigued. "A protein based, espresso, all-in-one energy drink - that makes you feel that you are doing something good for yourself one cup at a time" is how Click Espresso Protein Drink is described ... how could I resist trying this!
First I checked out the nutrition facts. A 2 scoop serving provides 120 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 7 grams of sugars and 15 grams of protein. Not bad at all. There is also 15%-30% of the daily value for MANY vitamins & minerals. The ingredients list starts with Calcium caseinate, instant espresso coffee, fructose, cocoa (processed with alkali), nonfat milk ... sucralose is later on and then a whole host of the added vitamins & minerals.
I was eager to try it, so I followed the basic directions of adding 2 scoops of the Click Espresso Protein Powder to a shaker bottle (which they thoughtfully sent me along with the sample), along with about 13 ounces of water. I shook and shook, and was rewarded with a delicious beverage. It's not too sweet, and there is a strong mocha, sort of chocolatey flavor. I really enjoyed it. No after taste whatsoever. The amount of caffeine in this is equivalent to 12-14 ounces of brewed coffee. And the caffeine is probably the only reason why I don't drink this everyday (and the same reason why I don't drink coffee everyday). Still, I really liked this and it is one of the BEST tasting protein powders I have tried.
Click was developed by Greg and Beth Smith, a Fresno, California couple who own a small chain of women's fitness centers. I can definitely see a niche of fitness folks taking their protein power from this. Click is available at Amazon.com

Caclium caseinate isn't the highest quality of the protein powders. Still, I'm glad to see something other than soy. I also wish they would just use sucrose as opposed to fructose.
Hmm...this looks right up my alley!
