Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This item took a long time for delivery - weeks. The can was much smaller than I expected. Definitely not worth the price. Flavor was very bland. I will stick with the larger can of original chocolate.
This is a very delicious flavor. I wish they sold us in the US. And so is the banana flavor. It’s a lot cheaper mixing it yourself then buying the premade shakes. I would highly recommend this
Flavor Name: Cafe LatteSize: 15.45 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
This tasted very good, has high protein and mixes well. I prefer these shakes made in a blender with ice and milk. We would also mix half and half with the chocolate flavors and it was delicious that way too. Not sure why it was more expensive than other shake mixes of the same size and I would love to buy again but not when it was so expensive.
This powder doesn't taste much like caramel to me. I can mix the other flavors with some fruit and they taste good with or without. This caramel just isn't pleasant with or without fruit. And for some reason it is substantially more expensive than the others. I'll not order it again.
i was excited to buy this granted it was very expensive and i never recieved it at all. I have tried several times to nt only contact the seller but also amazon, nothing was refunded nor resent. this use to be my fav flavor in the stores, wont order again due to not reieving
I will highly recommend all but one. So the caramel, cafe latte, banana and strawberry are all really, REALLY good. I'm struggling to choose a favourite because they are all so delicious and I look forward to them equally. The chocolate...well, look, I'm a huge chocoholic and I've found the taste very bland. I think I preferred Morrisons own brand chocolate shake powder in their slimming range. It is certainly drinkable but I'm not going to buy it again. I haven't tried vanilla as I really don't like the artificial vanilla taste but I may try it at some point.
Tips: - Try to use a blender if you can. I use a cheap Breville active blend and it makes it nice and frothy. I haven't used ice because I haven't had it in. It is fine without but I'd imagine it's nicer cooler. - You can use skimmed milk or semi skimmed and top up with water if necessary. I always make them a total of 300ml as opposed to the recommended 250ml but I will half and half if using semi skimmed or just top 50ml up with water if using skimmed. Always tasted great and you get slightly more. - In an attempt to make the chocolate shake richer I added a two teaspoons of cocoa powder (30 calories) which has helped a lot. - A teaspoon of instant coffee in the cafe latte is a great way to make it an actual caffinated frappucino - I believe the existing coffee flavour is just flavouring so it has no caffeine in. - I sometimes have half the amount, four times a day. So instead of two shakes a day I made half the amount with one scoop of powder and have it four times a day. This is good if you're like me and like to eat constantly.
Verdict as a weight loss aid: I suppose this is the most important bit really! So I haven't actually weighed myself for the two weeks I've been using yet. I don't like to weigh myself often, it messes with my head. However I struggle to see how I couldn't have lost weight. My calorie intake has dropped from about 3000 per day (I have binge eating disorder) to between 1500-1700 which is great considering I'm obese. I will say that I do not find the shakes to be filling. I've found the idea of them being an entire meal replacement hasn't worked well for me really because I'm so hungry. I have tried to have a shake for lunch and then wait for dinner but I can't, I'm too hungry so I end up having some low calorie snacks, by which point I wonder whether I could have just had a lunch meal...
Anyway, even though I don't necessarily like them as a meal replacement, considering I have binge eating disorder, I really like using them when I feel like I want to binge. Nighttime is the worst for me so I normally make half a shake when I feel the urge and then another half later one. 230 calories total is A LOT less than I was consuming over a binge period before so I am finding them to be useful. It helps that they are so delicious... I really don't like the bars (terrible aftertaste of artificial sweetener) so I was worried I wouldn't like these.
There is a small plan you're technically supposed to follow which is on the product page (321 plan). I loosely follow this in that I do have one meal a day in the evening aiming for 600 calories and a total of two shakes a day but I tend to just calorie count my remaining snacks rather than having a strict rule of three snacks. I think that the idea of the 321 plan is fantastic, combining meal replacement with actual food is a winner for me. I've tried Cambridge...I know that I cannot remove all food from my life. It's miserable! I love cooking so being able to still have a big meal (600 calories is well enough) as well as some snacks is great. I feel optimistic that I can lose weight for the first time in a very long time, the shakes are helping my BED a lot.
The price is great on Amazon. These are £7.50 in my Tesco. That being said they are probably worth even that. They are still a lot cheaper than the bars or food alternatives.
