I like the CalNaturale "Svelte" shakes. I only use protein shakes when I absolutely do not have time to prepare a meal (like when I'm running out the door to catch a flight and know I won't have time to grab food) but these are great in a pinch.
260 calories is not low but fine for a meal replacement - 10g fat, 40g carb (8 fiber), and 16g protein.
They are quite delicious - the vanilla and chocolate are my favorites, but the cappuccino and chai flavors can be a good breakfast replacement instead of a stop at Starbucks.
I also like that they don't have to be pre-refrigerated (although I like them cold) so on longer trips where I'm checking a bag, I'll throw a couple in my suitcase for mornings when I don't have time for breakfast.
