Not always... but this time, Walmart Brand got it right! I stock these in the fridge for a quick grab and go if I can't make my green smoothie or when I just really need a chocolate fix. And among the Slim Fast, Special K, and Equate brand, I prefer the generic Equate from Walmart! Taste wise, Slim Fast comes in 3rd (I don't even buy them anymore so it wasn't included in the photo!) The Equate brand just tastes the creamiest and is just so yummy! I'm all about a good value, but if I don't like the taste, then I won't buy it. Some item I just can't do generic like orange juice (tropicana is my favorite) and peanut butter (Skippy chunky natural with honey is the only one I like!)
It's nice to find something that can save you a few dollars and tastes even better than the national brand! Yay!
