Are Acti-Shake protein shakes okay??

About to start weight training and because I've been struggling to get enough protein each day, I'm thinking of having a shake in the morning (if I've been strength training) with oats, instead of yoghurt/milk.
I find the ones made from powder REALLY unpalatable (so many unfinished tubs at home...) but I love these ones you get for a pound from Co Op: http://www.acti-shake.co.uk/
I always assumed they were sub par, but shopping around on Amazon and looking at MaxiNutrition/USN, the Acti-Shake ones seem like a really good deal, at £1 for 25g of protein. Surely that's not right - I would have expected the best deals to be online multi packs, not single bottles bought in a shop. I must be missing something.
Can someone with a bit more understanding of these shakes please let me know whether I'd be okay drinking one of these each day, or if I'd be better off with a more well known brand, and why??
Thanks!!
