BariWise Protein Soup Mix, Variety Pack, 15g Protein, Low Carb (7ct)

Absolutely delicious. After being on liquids for nearly 2 weeks I finally got this soup for a change of pace. I got the variety pack just so I could try each of them. I took a suggestion from another reviewer. I added the water slowly until I reach the consistency that I liked. That was at about 4oz . The onions and carrots in this soup are super tiny but very flavorful. The overall flavor of the creamy chicken soup was a surprise to me. I was expecting something chalky and protein tasting. This soup was better than none beriatric soups. I would highly recommend this soup to anyone. *The only thing to be aware of is that the protein used is whey concentrate instead of isolate, which means the protein absorption is not the best. I was going to try adding 1/2 a serving of flavorless whey protein isolate to this soup and see how it turns out. I think it might make the soup thicker and it would definitely increase the protein.

Doesn’t taste good super over priced. I wanted to return and they wouldn’t let me

An excellent way to get protien and is very filling. I love most of the flavors, not the mushroom, I give that to my friend but all the others. As long as you put boiling water, I do 6 or 7 ounces and stir it won't have any clumps. I've been buying these for over 2 years and really enjoy.

I tried these because as a post-bariatric patient, I need protein. But sometimes when it’s cool outside, I just want soup. By themselves, they are a little thin and plain. However, I found that I can mix them with other soups or even add a bouillon cube to enhance the flavor. The price is a little high though, so I will probably just do the same thing with bone broth in the future instead.

Hello, perhaps it's too soon to write this review, since I have had only two of the soups so far..... The Chicken w Pasta was a simple chicken bullion with about a teaspoon of short little porous sticks, that did not resemble pasta. The Cream of Broccoli was watery and not much flavor with tiny green specks that was suppose to be broccoli. I could have made the Chicken/Pasta with a teaspoon of bullion in 8 oz of boiling water and a teaspoon of crushed Ramen. The Cream of Broccoli could have been made by pureeing a cup of Broccoli in 8 oz of chicken broth. Of course my examples did not take into account protein or calories, they're too low. I once, many years ago, fasted for 9 months with HMR, we only had chicken soup, chocolate and vanilla, they were thick, satisfying and delicious, If not, I couldn't have lasted for 9 months. I made the soups and added different spices for variety and did the same with the shakes, adding different flavors. In addition, I was also able to make cookies and crackers, by reducing the amount of water and dropping the "dough" on a cookie sheet and baking until done. They were convenient to bring along on trips. So, I think that BariWise needs to go back to the think tank and develop a product that's not only nutritious, but tasty and satisfying. Think about it! If this is all you have to eat, it should be the best it could be. I will gladly come back and update this review after I finish the other soups in the variety pack. Happy Dieting. Anna

Horrible taste, wil not buy again

They are really good, I love them.I drink them as a evening snack.

This should be a five star review. The cream of broccoli delivers a nice flavor without the chalky taste of protein. It's a great way to get protein in without any major difference in taste. Unfortunately, the cream of mushroom recipe has to be this: go to your local grade school. Take a tablespoon of dust from the chalkboard. Go out into the playground and get a tablespoon of dust from where the kids were playing. Go to your local college and ask the chemistry professor to give you a bottle of "mushroom extract" to add. Stir and add hot water. Yes, it's that bad. I added real cooked mushrooms and onions and barely gagged through it. Worse, if you advertise a product as a "variety" and that there are 5 flavors, you expect to get at least 1 of each flavor and a couple of doubles. Nope. I got 3 cream of mushroom, 3 cream of broccoli and 1 cream of chicken. Where is the chicken noodle? Where is the cream of tomato? Was there a sudden pasta and tomato shortage at the factory? Did Billy Bob fail math? Edited: after trying the cream of mushroom, I have to change my review. It's still a one star since there's nothing lower. Do better, BariWise.
