Who doesn’t want to get Svelte?
Svelte is a super-tasty brand of protein shake that I recently ran across at a nutrition trade-show. I tried the cappuccino flavor and was instantly a fan! The folks at CalNaturale (who make Svelte) are happy to hook up five AFH readers with a Svelte Sample Pack featuring an assortment of their four shake flavors. Check the details below for your chance to get Svelte!
I have nothing against typical protein shakes—I’ve tried many of them. Let’s face it though, some protein shakes fall into the “acquired taste” category, or they require a lot of “doctoring” in order to make them palatable. Not so with Svelte shakes. Seriously, they are that delish (and I’m a pretty picky, foodie-type person)! And they come in four yummy (and versatile) flavors—Cappuccino, French Vanilla, Chocolate and Spiced Chai. I like to add the French Vanilla Svelte to my coffee instead of creamer, and I use the chocolate flavor as the basis of many of my protein concoctions—the current favorite is a liquid version of a chocolate-covered strawberry, featuring frozen strawberries (I picked them last summer), a handful of ice and the chocolate shake all blended together. For drinking straight out of the container, I go for the Cappuccino.
“Enough about you,” you say? Ok, ok. Here’s the low-down on these protein shakes. Each 260-calorie serving of Svelte provides 16g of organic soy protein and 5g of fiber. And as you probably know, protein and fiber are two ingredients known to help keep you feeling full. The fiber that’s added to Svelte products is inulin, which also happens to be a prebiotic (not the same thing as a probiotic). Prebiotics provide nourishment to the good microbes that live in your digestive system. (Probiotics, on the other hand, actually are sources of friendly bacteria.) Here are a few other facts about Svelte that you might want to know:
- They’re made with organic ingredients
- They deliver a good dose of calcium
- They are non-dairy, certified gluten-free
- They’re re-closable (so handy!) and packaged in eco-friendly Tetra Paks
Five lucky readers will receive a Svelte Sample Pack worth $26.00.

All AFH terms and conditions apply.
I like AFH and CalNaturale on Facebook. I want to try chocolate most.
Chocolate would be my pick. Blend it with strawberries of bananas, some almond butter. Yum!
I agree about some if not most protein shakes being taste acquired…I am so excited to check out where I can find these locally to try as I haven’t been let done by your recommendations yet
I love all the flavors you mentioned, but am really looking forward to your chocolate covered strawberry idea with the chocolate and some frozen berries!!!! Yummmmmmm
I would be very interested in trying the Cappucino protein shakes!!!
Cannot wait to try spiced chai and the french vanilla. Love the fact that they are recloseable.
I love protein shakes because they’re so convenient. As a full time student and a nurse working full time, sometimes it’s difficult to find the time for cooking breakfast. Being that I’m running around during my shift, skipping breakfast is NEVER an option so I always have a protein shake ready in the fridge. I can’t wait to try the cappuccino flavor of Svelte!…hmmm, bet it’ll take the cravings away
Would love some spiced chai!!
Love to try them all.
Oh you know I would love to try this! You always sponsor goodies and never lie about the taste! Thanks for the opportunity as always!!!
Chocolate is my favorite!
These sound great – I think I’d love to try the cappuccino flavor.
I don’t have a particular flavor. I think for me the protein part of it speaks for itself. I am not a huge meat eater to begin with so protein for me is always lacking. This would certainly give me another avenue to try to get those nutrients that my body isn’t getting enough of.
French vanilla. Yummy!
Would love chai spice. Wonder if I could make oats with it….
Chocolate! Chocolate!
I’m looking forward to the French Vanilla and the spiced chai. My friend recommended this and I’m glad she did. I recently was hospitalized with a severe allergic reaction. It turned out to be Gluten. I have eaten foods containing Gluten my entire life. Changing my entire diet while cooking healthy meals for my family is not as easy as you would think. This is going to help me with my transition. I’m so glad to have found the option of grabbing a healthy protein shake that doesn’t taste like sidewalk chalk. The fact that it’s organic is an added bonus. Thanks for spreading the word about this product!
would so love to try the french vanilla thanks already liked afh ..now i like CalNaturale thanks
I would love either the chocolate or cappuccino flavor! Yum!
I I want to try french vanilla
I have seen these in my local grocery store, but haven’t tried them because I’ve tried other brands of protein drinks before that didn’t taste good to me. With your recommendation, I feel comfortable giving this brand a chance. Of course, it would be great if I could win a sample pack to test before I purchased them! Thanks for another enticing give-away!
I’m looking forward to trying the Spiced Chai! I love Vanilla Chai, and spiced chai tea. These all sound delicious and nutritious!
Always looking for a healthy alternative to the high cal coffee shop chai! I’m also a big fan and major advocate of fiber woo hoo! WIN WIN here.
French Vanilla and Spiced Chai sound yummy and they’re gluten-free!!! Can’t wait to try them all!
I’ve never tried any of the Svelte protein shakes before, but I see that they are vegan (which is amazing)! I want to try the spiced chai the most
I’m interested in trying Chocolate!
I have never tried, but it sounds like a great product. Probably most interested in vanilla, but love the variety!
Oh, chocolate! For sure!!!
I’c like to try the Svelte cappuccino, i;ve been a vegetarian for a year now and my doctors keep bringing up protein. I’m not eating meat just to get protein, I have used Click for protein though…it’s really good and caffeinated…Ping,Ping,Ping!
Ooh I would love to try the Cappuccino one! And they’re vegan!! These would be a perfect pre-workout beverage!
Just trying to live healthy anyway possible.
chai is amazing
Cappuccino and French Vanilla are always my first choice in any product that those two flavors come in.
I am not necessarly a vegetarian but meat is my least favorite food. This would be a great way to add protein to my diet that I desperately need. Would be great to give all the flavors a try.
I’ve recently incorporated a regular workout routine. This would be another heathly addition to my quest for wellness.
could definitely use these post long run!
Oh wow, I’d be looking forward to trying any of those flavors!
Chocolate or capp sound amazing!
Probably the cappuccino

Cappuccino is a favor flavor of mine. I have never heard of this Name of protein shakes, but I would like to try them. As I always says the best way to gain me as a return buyer is to let me try it for free first. Thanks AFH & Svelte
