Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:
Calories: 110 – 190
Calories from Fat: 10 – 80
Saturated Fat: 0.5g – 1.5g
Trans Fat: 0g – 0g
Cholesterol: 5mg – 15mg
Sodium: 230mg – 260mg
Potassium: 230mg – 550mg
Total Carbohydrate: 5g – 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g – 4g
Sugars: 1g – 1g
“Net Carbs:” 2g – 2g
Protein: 21g – 20g
The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.
The taste, which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks, is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother, creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother, creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks, in my opinion, is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.
The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC’s package states “meal complement & snack replacement” not a meal replacement; in other words, it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.
Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast “Low Carb” and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.
I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps, when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal, then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.
Both of these “Low Carb” drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator, so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

This low carb variety is not bad tasting at all. It is soy based so it doesn’t bloat you. It also fills you. I highly recommend it. My favorite is the Vanilla.

Slim-Fast is a marvelous fast solution to finding something to eat on a crazy busy day! The nutritionally well-balanced meal-in-a-can provides an appetizing answer for mealtimes when you-re hungry but you don’t have time or energy for fixing your own meal or waiting for a restaurant cook to do it.

I love these vanilla shakes. I have tried numerous types of shakes over the years and this is the first one where I really liked the taste. Breakfast is an important meal but i don’t like to get up early enough to make anything. These shakes allow me to at least put something into my body first thing in the morning.

I went through the first 3 boxes, and 2 out of 3 were curdled. <: ^( I mean in a gross, lumpy, sour milk way. It is difficult to return food items like this to Amazon. They were not past the expiration date nor was this in the summer.
As far as the uncurdled 4 cans… Optima is much better. The flavor was strong, very sweet and vanilla. It is not like a diet drink, it’s like the supplement drinks you find at the store for those sick and elderly.
From now on I am sticking with Optima chocolate, and I don’t trust Amazon to send it to me. <:^(
