I'm not going to be much help either. I'll second what Rachel says, that casein is a dairy derivative and it bothers some people. I know Kandee has said that they add things to those drinks to make them digestible even by people who are lactose-intolerant, but of course we're concerned with more than just the lactose. I'm scared to death to try them, but you might think it's worth the risk at this point... hard to say.
I know Heather will probably recommend the Amazake rice shakes instead, but I finally found them at the health food store, checked them out, and they're basically (very overpriced) rice milk and fruit. They do have some vitamins and nutrients, but no more than you'd get from making a smoothie at home using vitamin-enriched rice milk and a mango.
I might go back to the HFS today and check out a few things... there are some powders that are more than just a protein shake, that I remember from the days when I worked at GNC... I'll check them out and report on what I find. There HAS to be a vegan liquid meal replacement out there!
