SlimFast High Protein Smoothie Mix, Creamy Chocolate, 12 Serving Container

This is my first time trying any of the SlimFast products. I chose the Creamy Chocolate. With a glass (8 ounces) of low fat milk you get 20 grams of protein. That is 40 percent of your daily recommended allowance for protein. I opened the container and could immediately smell the chocolate. Inside is the scoop provided for measuring (equal to one quarter cup). I have used this for breakfast for several days now. I tried it in skim milk and lite vanilla soymilk. Both were great tasting. I really didn't think this would last for a meal replacement, but it did. I was not hungry until lunch time. The protein is what keeps you full. Plus I love the added vitamins. You can stir or shake, but I recommend shaking or putting in a blender to dissolve all the powder equally. If you want a thicker shake, just combine one half cup of ice along with the product and the milk. I loved the taste and am very happy that I now have a high protein breakfast available without having to cook.

Though I tried SlimFast years ago, it never worked as well before. The Advanced Nutrition Smoothie recipe has turned off the normal hunger in my stomach so well it makes me want to wait until later on for a meal. Things I learned in the past are not to think about wanting to chew food, and to believe the shake will make me full for many meals like having soup or a milkshake. This new recipe of SlimFast made it easier to ignore wanting to bite into some delicious type of favorite food because it contains ingredients that really seem to fill my stomach. My stomach stays feeling satisfactorily full for the four hours SlimFast guarantees on the label. It tastes great simply mixed with a spoon, wonderful in coffee, and very good as a shaken, frozen smoothie. This advanced kind of SlimFast also seems to work better than generic brands I have tried. Years ago when I stayed almost strictly on a liquid SlimFast diet for three to four weeks, I substituted a few meat only or soup only meals for several of the SlimFast meals. I slimmed down and lost 12-15 lbs. of weight easily.

I surprisingly liked this and I've already gone to buy my back up. This one only has enough servings for one week of shakes if you're following the slimfast diet rules of 2 shakes a day and a regular supper. The first time I used this I used skim milk . The shake was thick and creamy and tasted great. Again surprising. I was expecting it to be gross and have to choke it down like all the other protein powders I've tried. I attempted to cut the carbs and just mix this with water and ice in a blender but it wAsnt as good. I also tried adding instant espresso and that was ok. So I'm floating in the middle now and I'm going to try almond milk next. I did half way follow the rules of the slimfast diet and I lost 2 pounds in a week. It's nice seeing that number drop and still have chocolate! It did curb my hunger for almost 4 hours just not quite. I'm a heavy person and my stomach is crazy due to emotional eating and years of over eating. This shake was gentle in my tummy and I've had no adverse reactions. I did receive this item in exchange for an honest review but these opinions are my own.

SlimFast Advanced Nutrition Smoothie packs 20 g of protein in an 8 oz serving! This was the first time I tried the powdered version of SlimFast product and found it better tasting than their ready to drink shakes. I mixed a scoop of smoothie powder with 8 oz of 2% milk and the taste was smooth and rich, just like a high end chocolate milk. The product promises to keep the hunger away for 4 hours but I felt full for over 6 hours. On the days I had the smoothie for breakfast I was not hungry at lunch so I would have a small snack when I came from work and a small dinner. I feel better, my appetite is suppressed and after two weeks of just replacing my breakfast with the smoothie I have lost 2 pounds. One package makes about 12 servings if you use the scoop measure included for 8 oz of milk.

I am a bariatric patient so protein drinks are a part of my every day life. Right after my surgury I used the doctor recommend powders from my post surgery kit. Than I found Isopure at the recommendations of others patient who have been thru the surgury. They were ok powders, did what they were so post to but flavor were not as appealing. I recently had the opportunity to try this slimfast and I will say it is delicious and I will be switching my powders. It has all the dietary componets I need with the 20 grams of protein and low in calories. I find this powder to be the least gritty and better tasting than the other powder I have tried. is there really such a thing as a non gritty protein shake? I have a Vitamix so the blender I use is high quality. I have tried this a few different ways. 1as directed on the lable, 1 scoop of powder to a cup of milk I only had whole milk so I used that, 2, 1 scoop of powder to a cup of almond milk, 3,1 scoop of powder to a cup of water with ice and half a frozen banana, and the last was the same as befor but this time I added PB2. I have to say all of the different combinations were pretty tasty. I like the one with whole milk as a "dessert" after I blend it I pop it in the freezer for at least an hour until it becomes more solid and ice cream like. Super yummy and im not blowing all my hard work.I have only positive things to say. Im also gonna try out the vanilla next.

I chose to try the SlimFast Advanced Nutrition Smoothie Creamy Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake and was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to try a meal replacement that was easy, low calorie and tasted good. I have a nutriblast blender at home and thought I would try the SlimFast. The directions say to add 1 scoop of the SlimFast powder to a cup of fat free milk along with a cup of ice and blend. I am not a big milk fan so I tried using unsweetened almond milk, which worked out fine. I found that by using a full cup of ice the drink was too thick and I had to add a little more milk to make it drinkable through a straw. I have also tried adding 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 water and didn't notice much of a difference in the taste. The best thing I tried was adding a tablespoon of peanut butter powder to it and I have to say the taste was fantastic. There are 12g of protein in the SlimFast itself and 20g if you add the milk and just under 200 calories (a little more if you add the PB powder). This was much more protein than in a fruit and veggie shake and it actually did keep me full until just before lunch. I have taken to eating a few nuts or another SlimFast snack product in between and I find that I am completely satisfied until my next meal. There are also numerous antioxidants in the product as well as it is gluten free. The only downside to the product that I could find was that it contained sucralose as a sweetener, which I am not too thrilled about. It would be nice if they could use a more natural sweetener. I've only been using the product for less than a week and have not used it for lunch. I would think the pre-made SlimFast product would make it easier to drink for lunch. I chose the product more as a low calorie, fast and easy meal to help me maintain my weight rather than as a program to lose weight but I would expect that if I was using it to replace 2 meals a day as intended, I cannot imagine that I would not see weight come off. I would recommend this product to others.

I like Slimfast, it helps to fill in for the breakfast and lunch meals. And there are other things you can eat in between that Slimfast also have for the snack times. I like to be a mixologist, I like to mix the different flavors together to make the drinks different, and get out the "Blender"...add the mix with fruits and veggies...tastes really great. I use the "Blender" to mix in my Silmfast with spinach leaves, a banana, blueberries, flax seeds or chia. I also mix half one flavor of Slimfast to another to create new drinks with fruits and vegetables.

This product is pretty tasty and does seem to fill you up for several hours. I did like it better when it was made with ice in the blender and it seemed to ward off hunger longer that way for me. It is also more "smoothie" like made that way than just mixing in a glass with a spoon. It does have a slight "protein powder" taste as I have found with most of the protein shake things I have tried but it is slight. I didn't find it as bad as others I have tried. One container does about 12 drinks so it is roughly $1.25 per serving which isn't bad comparatively and makes a cheap and easy breakfast on the go!

I can't say that I care to much for this SlimFast Advanced nutrition meal replacement shake mix. The directions say to combine one scoop of the powder(1/4 cup) with 8 fl. oz. of fat free milk. This will then make a shake that has 190 calories and 35 calories from fat. I am not a fan of fat free milk, I use 2% so obviously this will make a difference in the amount of calories. I have made this with the 2% milk and I have made this with Almond/Coconut milk adding 1/2 cup of crushed ice and using the cup setting that I have on my blender to make an individual serving. Either way I found the end result to have a chalky flavor. I thought by using a milk with a little more fat would make it taste better but in my opinion it didn't. This shake mix is gluten free but be aware that it does contain milk and soy if those are an issue. The shake mix has 20g of protein, 24 vitamins & minerals with antioxidants. This one is called the Creamy chocolate, it didn't seem creamy in consistency to me, probably because it contains cocoa. I much rather prefer the SlimFast premade shakes over the powder form.

I really wanted to like this product. I need to lose some weight . The premixed products seem so wasteful . I had tried slimfast powder years ago before the premixed and stopped using it because it was so had to mix up and short of putting it in a blender it was never fully mixed up . I had hoped that 20 + years had made a huge difference. However there was no difference . The product still does not mix well . I have tried several different ways of mixing it up . Unless I used the blender it was not a good mix. My hope was to take this to work and mix it with milk at work . That did not work out . I tried mixing it the night before , left it in the fridge and it was still not mixing well and had become as thick as pudding. For me this is not a good choice. IF you are going to be at home and have a blender handy ..by all means add an ice cube as suggested and it is a great smoothie .
