SlimFast Meal Replacement Shake for Weight Loss & Balanced Diet, Vitamins and Minerals, Low Calorie, High Protein, Strawberry Flavour, 50 servings, 1.825 kg, Packaging May Vary

I’m on 1200 calories a day which is quite difficult so meal replacement really helps to keep up with my goals. I don’t have sweet tooth so I must mixed it with whole lemon as it’s as just too sweet for me. I replace one meal a day either breakfast or lunch, it keeps me full for about 3 - 4 hours. I’ve lost about 800g in one week but I also use Fitnesspal app. I use hand blender, mix it with soya milk and ice cubes (and lemon), drink looks quite nice and appetising. I will purchase again because it suits my current diet.

Have always been a bit down on these products but I need to lose a lot of weight for some surgery to take place, lost 3 stone last year and surgeon said I need to lose another 3 and suggested Slimfast as an option. Went big with my first purchase not to waste money on a small one, tried it today for the first time today and have to say I disagree with everything I've always thought about it, easy to make, no lumps and the Strawberry is very tasty. As for weight loss, well only time will tell but if this is replacing my usual meals then things should be OK.

Excellent price. Love the flavor of this Cafe LatteI don't really like sweet things so this is just the right balance for meJust had dentures and gums a little sore still. Also steroids so put on some much unwanted weight.Hoping 2 shakes a day will let my gums heal and help with weigh loss too. Evening meal to learn how to chew 🤣 again and maintain a healthy diet.Lovely taste and mixes easily I have with coconut milkEnjoy

I have been using Slimfast for a couple of days now. The flavour is nice, maybe a little on the sickly sweet. It is easy to use and seems to keep hunger at bay between meals, so that is good. My one concern and it is a real concern, that may prevent me from repurchasing this product is as follows. Slimfast state that no added sugar, but, the nutritional info states 21g of sugars! This is about 5 teaspoons of sugar (Wow). There is no cane sugar added, but, The second ingredient listed is Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin will most likely spike your blood glucose levels, along with Insulin levels higher than table sugar. I strongly suspect that around 30% to 40% of the calories come from this highly processed worse than sugar equivalent.This is in no way a balance meal, and I think labelling the product with no added sugar is playing with words and misleading and could damage some peoples health if used long term.I will use up what I have and look for a more healthy option.Dear reader, don't take my word for it, just look at the nutrition stats on the carton, then google Maltodextrin. I might add Slimfast don't state how much Maltodextrin they have added, but I suspect it accounts for the majority of the sugar they state in the nutritional list.Hope this helps you, dear reader to make an informed choice.FURTHER THOUGHTS AND BALANCE- Have now been using Slimfast Powder/Shakes for 4 days now and I have found that it satiates me for 3/4 hours, which means I can easy go 5 hours without eating anything; this is a big plus for me. I use full fat milk and top up with water to 400ml; This I think will lower the Glycaemic Markers, lessening the effects of any insulin spikes because of the extra fat in the milk. Of course this adds extra calories, but because I have a more substantial shake, I don't need any snacks, but I do take a piece of fruit. The tweaked Shake still has a nice consistency because of the whole milk, and I find it takes the edge of, what I find, that excess sweetness.When I look at the cost of this product and the initial positive effects it is having on me and my tweaking of the recipe, I felt I had to be balanced in my review, and so this update.I have ordered some meal replacements from Protein Works, and when they arrive, I will reduce to one shake a day to reduce the amount of simple sugars I am consuming daily with two of these shakes. I will add that PWs also do their own version of powder shake, but it contains a lot less sugars than SF, although about double the price per shake. I may yet go for this when I run out of SF.I must say, since cutting out snacking on junk i.e. cakes, biscuits, pasties, sausage rolls, etc, and eating more fruit and veg, I feel so much better (more energy) and less brain fog.With regard to weight loss, it is much too early to review that, but I think the law of cause and effect will bring about a positive change in this area.Slimfast has helped me to break bad habits and replace them with good ones and so, I have added a star to my review. I will update on weight loss in due course; for the record my start weight was 111.5 kg at just over 6ft tall., my target is 90kg with staged targets of 106kg then 100kg, 95kg, and finally 90kg.I am aiming for end of January 2024 to reach my target (God willing).I am nearly 64yrs old and tired of feeling tired, which I put down to my lousy diet and life style, which is preventing me from doing the thing which I loved to do, and want to go back to, which go for nice long walks. I am blessed to be still in good health, so change is well overdue. Time to get off my big fat arse and take responsibility for the garbage I have been shovelling down my throat day after day and the bad habits connected with it. If Slimfast can contribute to this turnaround, then it can't be that bad.Hope, dear reader this little ramble will be useful to you.Watch this space

These drinks seem pretty good- The blueberry flavour does need a bit more blueberry in it. However the texture once blended is pretty thick and nice to drink especially with some fruit added. There's no chemical aftertaste to it,Whilst not the same as a smoothie in a hipster café, it's a nice drink.It does need a hand blender for best results.. It's too early to say if the mixture has resulted in any weight loss.

Great product , like the vanilla flavour.However, gives me so much gas every time I have it.

I'm wary of slimfast shake flavors as some of they are quite bad..very yucky chemical tastes.so I always stick to the latte one but seeing the blueberry I couldn't resist..to my surprise it tastes really really good.light berry taste..love

I have ordered the slimfast shake in CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR after trying a couple of other meal replacement shakes in the market. But this shake has exact taste as it mentions on the box. I also find it valuable for the money as others are comparatively expensive and doesn't has good taste.Its also very easy to make the drink. The consistency is oerfect and gives you a fullness feeling when consumed.I am enjoying my drink and also would recommend it to others
