I saw these in the supermarket and wondered if anyone has tried them.

    Are you looking for a protein drink? There are many with less calories, sugar, saturated fat, carbs, etc. What are you looking for in a drink?

    If you are looking for flavored milk, you could just take 2% milk and add a squirt of hershey's chocolate syrup. Could save you a heap of a lot of money. If you are looking for a protein drink, consider a protein powder and mix it with milk. Mine gives me over 30 grams of protein (with the milk) with less than 200 calories and it's a lot cheaper.

    I already have a protein powder that I use. But I am always on the look out for something that is ready made that I can keep at my desk and in my bag just in case.

    I think its more than just flavored milk. But I am just looking for something ready made that I can stock in my office and keep in my bag just in case I need it.

    it doesn't meet my 100kcal/10g protein ratio and quite honestly they look very expensive.

    But who cares what we think, give them a try if you want to give them a try. Are there others on the market? Absolutely. But go with whatever meets your individual needs and you have easy access to.

    I think there are products of ready made in single serve from Pure Protein, etc. Those may have less calories, and be a cheaper source of protein. And, they don't have to stay refrigerated all the time in case you forget to put it in the fridge at work right away. For work, you could also consider those protein bars. I make baggies of almonds too for protein.
    Costco and Sam's club have a selection of those ready made protein drink single serve if you have a membership. I am a cheap person, so I have a biased answer. Fairlife just seems very expensive to me.
