Diet Fuel Vegan Strawberry 880g: Dairy Free Vegan Meal Replacement Shake & Vegan Protein Powders

I'm in my 50s, and am struggling to lose weight like I used to, so tried these out of desperation, after having tried all my usual methods with no success. Had always avoided diet shakes, as thought real food must be better and more appealing - however, this and the chocolate shake have surprised me enormously. First, they really fill me up. I've done one week, and most days I've managed on one shake, plus a normal evening meal, and I've exercised too 3 times in the week. Second, I've lost 5 pounds this week! At last! Only 1.5 stone to go, ha ha. But I really feel I I can do it on these, because... Third, they stop you thinking about food because you are full of protein. And there are no food decisions to make. No portion control necessary. No getting a taste for a tiny bit of something nice, then overdoing it and ruining your diet. You just look forward to a nice, satisfying dinner after not suffering hunger pangs in the day with these shakes. And fourth, the strawberry shake is actually quite pleasant. A bit synthetic tasting. And the choc one is ok (I put a teaspoon of coco in it.) I look forward to them. I see them as my friends, helping me to lose weight at last. This is a sustainable way for me to lose weight. It feels easy. The only drawback is the excessive plastic in the packaging. Not bad at all.

Update: I couldn’t leave a separate review for this as I’ve already left one previously as below. I ordered vegan vanilla for the first time, just for a change. It tastes ok but strawberry is still the best. My issue is - why did I get no less than 6 measuring scoops in the pack??! 1 had its handle snapped off. There may be even more scoops, I haven’t inspected all the way to the bottom of the bag yet! It did make me laugh though as it was so absurd :p Original review: I really like the taste of the strawberry flavour shake. It kind of reminds me of angel delight before you’ve put it in the fridge (if anyone knows what I mean!). It’s a little gritty but I really don’t mind it. Not sure what the other flavours are like but this one I’ve now subscribed to for regular delivery. I use it as a meal replacement and it definitely keeps me full for a while. I’ve lost 5 kilos in 3 weeks so far, without any exercise, although I will be incorporating this to get results quicker and to improve my fitness levels. My only criticism and it’s not really a big deal, is that the powder is really fine and it creates little dust clouds whenever you open the bag! For anyone confused about the serving size, there are measurements on the scoop up to ‘50’ but I’m pretty sure that’s 50ml and millilitres are not equal to grams. Only water is considered 1ml/1g but even then is dependent on its temperature. The density of flour which is what I have compared the protein powder to, is a lot less than water, roughly 0.55g to 1ml, so 1 scoop only totals 27.5g, which is why you need 2 scoops to get a 55g serving. It seems though that people are happy with just one scoop at a time and that’s cool, you do you, but thought I’d mention it to clear any confusion :D

I prefer strawberry over vanilla but they are both pretty good for protein powders. I can’t drink the full portion because it’s too much for me to drink. I half it so have the cals anyway. I add one scoop, 200ml water and a lot of ice in my nutribullet. It makes it not too thick and just easier to drink. I’ve been eating healthy, intermittent fasting most days and having one of my two meals as a shake. I’ve lost 7lbs in 2 weeks. Hopefully it continues. It’s helping keep me full with minimal calorie intake so I’m in a decent calorie deficit every day.

The Strawberry is fab! I’ve had about 15 bags of Usn now and by far the strawberry is the best. If you make the chocolate and don’t drink it straight away, I mean in less than 5 minutes, it has a dreadful odour and metallic taste! So much so I’ve had to stop getting it, also if you leave the shaker on the side and don’t wash it straight away, horrendous odour! So I only have the strawberry and don’t have any issues with it at all! I’ve tried so many different brands of shake and to me this one is by far the best in taste, texture and smell.

I've tried alot of vegan protein shakes This usn vegan strawberry shake is my favourite It is really sweet like a proper milk shake I put in 2 scoops with a pint of cold water in liquidiser I've lost 22lbs using it as a food replacement I lost a 1lb a week I still have now I'm maintaining my weight loss It's delicious!!! I only wish they did banana flavour

I made the mistake of thinking that this would be the same as ultra lean diet fuel but, it isn’t. The consistency is different (a bit thicker) and the taste is nowhere near as good. It may do the same job but, I won’t make the same mistake again and I’ll go back to the ultra lean version in future.

Love the taste (Chocolate) and the easy way it mixes. I tend to use more water say 420ml otherwise its more like a McDonalds milk shake. Can drink this after training and never get a sugar low from it like I tend to from weight gain products used before. Only issue really is the price at £20 as there are only 16 servings. Wait for the special price of £15 to come along and stock up then.

I am reviewing the USN vegan strawberry meal replacement diet shake. I have used the USN diet fuel ultra lean with whey strawberry and it is thick and creamy and super yummy, just like the Mac D milkshake or angel delight as others reviewers have mentioned. The vegan version is not that thick and tastes so strongly of artificial sweetener that having it tried it once as directed, once with frozen strawberries and once with frozen cherries to try to improve the taste, I still just couldn’t drink it and felt sick after and I am not going to be able to use this vegan version. This is a shame as I prefer not to have too much dairy, however, I will stick to the standard diet fuel product and have to waste the £17 that I spent on the vegan version.
