SlimFast Powder Rich Chocolate, 450g

Been on slimfast for two weeks and lost 6 lb that just wasn’t shifting by any other means. I’ve tried SW in the past and did well on it but it just tires me out thinking what to eat all the time, especially on lockdown...what’s for lunch...what can I snack on..what’s for tea..and all the time trying to make the right choices- it’s exhausting. To give this diet programme a chance, you’ve gotta love milkshakes or you’re not gonna make it. Also the there is really no need to blitz it in a blender. Buy their shaker beaker for a fiver. It’s brilliant and produces a well mixed frothy shake with or without the ice and you can store the powder underneath to take to work. Yes the sippy part of the top is tough to take off but I take the whole top off and drink like a cup. Anyway back to the product...the main problem you’ll have is what flavour to try especially if you’re just starting out. I agree with most of the posts on here and the general consensus is... Chocolate- disappointing, not particularly frothy or chocolately but still worth having. Banana- as you would expect it to taste entirely Strawberry- again , as you would expect Cafe latte - a real treat to have in the mornings, but might be sweet for some Caramel - smooth taste, reminds me of a butterbeer a little Vanilla- a bit plain and seems thinner than the others I’ve read of some mixes such as Caramel and banana= banoffe pie, I haven’t tried it yet but I can’t wait! Caramel and chocolate Vanilla with frozen fruits Adding real coffee to the latte or to vanilla I was thinking to warm up the chocolate or the coffee ones for a change. Some folk claim it’s expensive, I don’t see how. One tub gives you your breakfast and lunch for 6 days for a fiver, how is that expensive?? Some moan about the flavours, I would question their love of milkshakes in the first place. I’ve not experienced any clumping or aftertaste. A typical day Wake up - water and a banana leaving my shake till later in the morning. Snack - three crackers and peanut butter or more fruit. Another shake at lunch. Afternoon- another shake Before tea time - piece of fruit or carrot stick or any snack under 100 calories. I’m not calorie counting my tea , I ll just have whatever the family is having but with extra veg and less carbs sometimes but other times I’ll have the rice or pasta portion with the meal. Drink as much water as you can. I’m also doing couch to five k. The shakes fill you for two hours max but if you pan the day out as above you can easy wait for tea. Most days I’m thinking oh I can have my snack now, sometimes I’ve even forgotten to have my second shake. I love the simplicity of it all. My cravings are virtually non existent and my portion size at tea has taken a natural turn to the smaller size. I binged on an Indian one evening and as much as I enjoyed it, I couldn’t wait to get back on the slimfast the next day because I felt , well I dunno, just not right, I wanted to feel light like on the shakes. Best thing I’ve ever done. The weight will go back on when I stop, it will on any diet but this diet is reducing cravings and portions, something SW does not do. In fact they encourage you to eat as much as you want of the right foods of course. I can see my future with this diet. Maybe I ll drop it for a few days then do it for a week and so on. Or maybe I’ll start to have breakfast and shake for lunch or vice versa. That’s no different to the fasting diets. Best thing I’ve ever done.

Honestly, I really can't fault this product. This was just what I needed, a quick meal replacement drink that boosts your metabolism. Bit of a back story, I have PCOS which greatly affects my ability to lose weight, I'd normally gain weight from literally just breathing. I reached my breaking point when my weight peaked at 93kg, I have struggled with weight loss almost all my life, constantly fluctuating and gaining even more weight than before. I no longer wanted to be the chubby chick so after reading several good reviews, I decided to give it a go. I began my journey on the 8th of May, and I'm chuffed to say I went down from 93kg to 87.3kg (last weight in 10th June) so that's a 5.7kg weight loss and I don't fluctuate at all. The shakes taste really nice and since receiving my first one, I decided to stock up and bought more of a variety, my favourite being the Chunky Chocolate one. You'd be surprised at how full they can make you, with such small calorie intake too. Of course, I control my calorie intake and snack healthily, however I have had a few cheat meals and cocktails and to my suprise, I always stay the same. It's worth noting this shake will give you looser stools, usually around 3-4 hours after consumption, but in my case, it aids my digestion and makes me feel less bloated. I haven't kept track of how many inches I've lost, but I've made my size 14 jeans loose, and there is less flab on my stomach and less of a double chin. I find that the shakes work well combined with exercise, not even the strenuous kind, just an hour's walk in the evening will do. Also, I do not drink these shakes twice a day, I do have a healthy small breakfast and I sometimes make a bigger portion to replace lunch and dinner. The only negative thing I have to say about this is that it's not cheap in the long run. If you use it as recommended, you will run out in 2 weeks time or so. It's worth adding ice and keeping the shake in the fridge as it gets really thick if it's too hot in the room. Tastes a lot better from the blender than the shaker too, shaker comes out clumpy. Overall, I'd rate this product 5/5, because it gave the motivation to start getting myself in shape. I'm almost 6kg down, 20% into my weight loss journey and I feel more energetic than ever.

I'm 19, by no means overweight but I could do with losing those few excess pounds for myself and my biggest problem was not being able to balance a healthy and tasty diet since I work in a shop and the easiest meal to prepare is a Cadbury's dairy milk, so I thought a healthy meal replacement would be the best solution as it is easy to make and carry with you. I wanted a high protein meal replacement shake that I could enjoy as much as an actual shake, and Slimfast in the banana flavour allows just that. The first thing I wanted was a shake that wasn't grainy or powdery and when I electrically blend this it comes out a smooth, thick and creamy shake that manages to keep me full until my next main meal (I'd mix this with milk or any milk alternative for better texture and taste). So the texture is great provided you have any sort of blender at home (I haven't tried this without one so I can't say what it is like when just shaken by hand, but the powder itself is quite fine unlike some other powders that stick and fail to blend so i'd imagine it'd come out fine if ever I haven't had time to prepare beforehand), the taste is yummy and the benefits for not only weight loss but also energy are the real gold points. I've been using for a few days and have replaced two meals of the day with a shake and have one normal healthy solid meal and already I can tell this product will help me with weight loss and also to curb any appetite for unnecessary snacks, without sacrificing my health. Most days of the week i'm surrounded by sugary foods and unhealthy junk and since drinking these shakes I haven't had a single urge to reach out to a chocolate bar. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I've only been using for a few days and may want to update on weight loss and health.

Love the banana taste

Au café c'est celui que je préfère , entre la fraise et le chocolat ,il est délicieux . Je ne mange qu'une fois par jour , c'est pourquoi le soir je double les doses. 250 ml de lait + 300 ml d'eau en glaçons + 4 cuillères de poudre. De la bonne volonté , pas de sport bien sûr , 6 biscuits pour satisfaire mon goût du sucre 11 kg de perdu en 4 mois . Tous les mois j'ai une prise de sang complète et malgré ce régime mes résultats sont excellents. Le vrai bémol c'est le prix vraiment trop cher pour moi.

The pack delivered had November 2023 as best before date, although the order was placed on 3rd December and delivered on 14th Dec'23.

I'm writing this review after drinking this for a while (around a month). At start, it tasted fine but there is always this weird taste mixed with the banana flavour. After getting used to it, I'm unable to ignore this weird taste anymore, its like plastic taste which has been mentioned by some others. I dont recommend this especially for those who are picky about taste.

Could be useful as a snack replacement.
