SlimFast Meal Replacement Powder, Original French Vanilla, Weight Loss Shake Mix, 10g of Protein, 22 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

A few months ago, I started drinking smoothies again for breakfast, and I wanted to add some chocolate flavoring to them. Chocolate and fruits are my favorite combo! Anyway, I've purchased the Slim Fast Chocolate flavor several times, and just reordered today with a subscription. This product is difficult to find at my local grocery stores, which is why I turned to Amazon, and this seller has the cheapest one!While I am indeed on a weight-loss journey, I'm not specifically using this Slim Fast product to lose weight...it's more of a flavor thing to me with an extra added bonus of also having other nutrients and protein contained in this product, ensuring my body is getting what it needs at breakfast-time. The Rich Chocolate Royale flavor is very rich! It doesn't overpower frozen or fresh fruits; it combines with a variety of fruits very nicely, giving an enjoyable and tasty blended chocolatey and fruity flavor at once. To me, the quality is there, I can perfectly taste the chocolate flavoring even when blended with various fruits.I do use the product's recommended base of fat-free milk, but even if Slim Fast didn't recommend fat-free milk, I'd still use it since I don't need the extra fats from whole milk nor do I want them, and plus I don't really care for the taste of whole milk anyway. I also have used this product with shelf-stable almond milk; however, as a personal preference, fat-free milk as a base tastes better with the rich chocolate flavor.The Slim Fast chocolate powder easily blends with the other ingredients I use. I rarely have any powder left on the inside of my blender. I have used this product without fruit, and the thickness was okay, definitely not as thick as a smoothie, but was thicker than a regular glass of milk. I have never experienced chalkiness with this product, though I feel that comes down to the blending factor. The more you blend it, the more the powder mixes with either just milk or with milk and fruits. I highly recommended blending this product, not simply shaking it.Overall: I love it and will continue to use it in smoothies, because it tastes good and does indeed contain other daily nutrients and lots of protein.

I bought the chocolate royale flavor. I saw it on Amazon and just had to buy it because I remember when it first came out in the late 1970s- it was so thick and rich with chocolate taste and so satisfying and it still tastes the same as wonderful as when it first came out! It is so MUCH MORE CHOCOLATY than a chocolate shake from Wendy’s or any other terrible fast food restaurant shake and much healthier too, since it is packed with vitamins and minerals as well as calcium. It doesn’t have as much protein in the powder as popular mixes are today, BUT THE EXPERTS SAY WE GET WAY MORE PROTEIN THAN WE NEED and this has plenty of protein for the average person. If someone still feels they need more protein-well then they could buy some protein powder and put a scoop of that in which would be cheaper than buying those other pre-mixed protein shakes that are a whopping three dollars a bottle! One container of Slim fast lasts a long time so it is a good bang for the buck.It keeps you satisfied until the next meal.Excellent quality that dissolves well. I don’t use a blender. You need a good shaker container and all it takes is a a few shakes and if it still isn’t smooth enough, then all you need to do is do a few more shakes. Some people in reviews were saying that it doesn’t dissolve but it absolutely mixes well when done properly and it becomes very smooth and foamy rich.Even if one isn’t on a diet, this is the ideal MUCH HEALTHIER thick shake to satisfy a craving due to the vitamins and no saturated fat content like found in ice cream . Not to mention the taste is far superior! I haven’t tried their vanilla flavor, but I will!

I have been using this powder drink for my morning meal replacement. The vanilla taste is almost like melted vanilla ice cream. I said almost… it’s not a bad taste. If I mix it up the night before there’s no chalky feel. However if you mix it right before you drink it, there will have that feeling. I use almond milk and use my frother and then out the blender ball for the next morning. It blends well in the morning. The thickness of it… if you measure right.. is almost like a milk shake. So tasty. You should try it. Remember… do it the night before.

Honest review: Yes- I mixed the vanilla as instructed and it was way too sweet but this morning I used 12 oz of milk and it was perfect! After my workout I was feeling a little adventurous and made a smoothie with 10 oz milk, a few strawberries, mango slices and ice and it is the best smoothie I’ve ever had 😍😍😍😍. The price is right if you buy the 3 pack. The containers were a little smaller than I expected but the servings come out to about $1 and you can’t beat that.
