    Score! Beats the current Coles special (which is $2.23 for a 3 pack) when you are an Ozbargainer every cent counts :) Thanks OP

  • Great price again, Energize version is a a lot thicker, kind of like Whey Protein

    • +2

      It is a lot thicker, however unlike Whey Protein, it actually has hardly any protein at all relatively

  • Thanks :D time to stock up!

    I compared some nutritional info between the regular UpnGo Vanilla and Sanitarium's Soymilk.

    IMO, Up n Go is really just watered down sugary milk with a bit of soy milk thrown into it. You may as well drink soymilk, which has almost the same amount of protein, much less sugar (less carbs), and also packing more calcium to boot. Soymilk is also a heck of a lot cheaper.

    The fibre and sweet taste is of course the unique selling point of liquid breakfasts but if you want something that's much easier on your wallet and your waistline (diabeetus) I would consider drinking soymilk as a healthier alternative.

      You could try Up & Go Vive. 67 Calories, 4g protein, 9.3g carbs (6.7g sugar), 2.1g fibre. Pretty much the same vitamin, potassium and sodium as Up & Go, with the added calcium of the soy milk.

    • Just a reminder for males, I wouldn't go around drinking Soy milk in excess though, due to the dangers of phytoestrogens.

        So that's why I have tits

        I've drank soy milk since birth; I'm the hairiest and horniest guy I know.

        "A 2010 meta-analysis of fifteen placebo-controlled studies said that "neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements alter measures of bioavailable testosterone concentrations in men." Furthermore, isoflavone supplementation has no effect on sperm concentration, count or motility, and it leads to no observable changes in testicular or ejaculate volume"

        taken from the wiki page of Phytoestrogens, I thank you.

        • I'd hardly take 3 lines, from Wikipedia mind you, as complete confirmation.

        • @johnn:

          I don't think there is definitive proof either way; research proves and disproves many topics each year. In the end it's up to you as an individual to take charge of your own health and see what is good and bad for your own body.

        • @DrStinge:

          Yep I agree- as I said below I'd rather err on the side of caution when there are possible side effects at play.

          I know most people probably wouldn't even need to worry about it, since not many people drink several glasses of milk each day. I do however (for various reasons), so it's something I'm personally mindful of.

      • I haven't been able to find any peer reviewed studies on this. Most of the research is from organisations with affiliations to meat companies.

      • Whilst I must admit I am skeptical of much of the hysteria out there on Soy products, there have been a few publications here, here and here which offer some evidence of soy products leading to irregularities.

        I'm not advocating guys stop drinking soy milk entirely (I'm still drinking it). I'm just saying that I wouldn't recommend substituting all cow-milk products for soy milk, or drinking more than a few glasses of soy milk everyday (as written 'in excess' above).

        Not a conspiracy theorist or science-denier in any way, I just feel that with the still fairly limited and mixed research on the issue, I wouldn't conclude whether it is completely safe or harmful (and would err on the side of caution)

      I would also add that drinking UpnGo can have a laxative effect

      • +2

        UpnGo gives me diarrhea all the time, so I avoid drinking it now.

        • UpnGo gives me the shits too!

    • UpnGo are milk powder, sugar and maltodextrin - there is nothing nutritious about them!

    • You've sold me on Soy milk Scrimshaw

  • Double check the use-by-dates on the chocolate ones. Recently whilst I've been working I've noticed that a few have arrived with very short use-by-dates, usually between a fortnight and a month after the day they arrived. All the other flavours seem to have much longer use-by-dates

    Damn, just bought 8 packs from Coles on the Saturday. Wish this have came out earlier.

    Excludes Energize Up & Go, damn… gotta get that extra protein.

  • Only the black Energize version of up n go is slightly worthwhile at special price of ~$2. You may as well be drinking sugar water instead of the regular up n go :P. The Energize version at least has some protein.

    Bottom line though is they both contain high fructose corn syrup which is essentially begging for diabetes and weight gain.

  • Yay, discounted sugary breakfast drinks to give my kids a sugar high and get them going for the day.

  • $6.99/kg for lamb leg roast is also pretty good.
