Trying to lose weight want to use it as a meal replacement, but all the ones I tried taste HORRIBLE. I was thinking shakeology but I want to hear from some folks please!

If we're talking protien, BSNs syntha 6 and syntha 6 edge taste great and work well as snacks / meal replacements as they are a protien blend and not just pure one type. They even have licenced Cold Stone flavors that are actually on point. Yes there are protiens with better profiles put there but personally I think their taste is unbeatable.

EDIT: I reccomens keeping a minimum ratio of 1:1 on shakes to real meals, preferably more.

I use Pure Protein. They only have vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. They taste pretty good except the strawberry is putrid. I have yet to taste a good strawberry protein shake.

But its 160-170 cal per scoop based on flavor and average protein grams. There are better powders but price wise great.

Quest protein is delicious and only 100 calories per pack! If you like vegan highly recommend Owyn! It is the best tasting vegan one I've tried. If you message them on facebook they send you free samples.

Is there some reason you want to use meal replacements that, so far, you think taste horrible? Have you considered food instead?

I supplement with quest but since I’m not a fan of making the powder as a shake, I mix it with yogurt and have a tasty snack.

Ya...it’s hard to plan/meal prep with a small baby so I’m trying to find something that will work and is fast for a quick meal need.

Loads of smoothie recipes online. Perhaps try and find a few that you like the taste of or can adapt for your palate.

Other than that there are hundreds of different powders and shakes on the market and pretty much all of them will have sample serves so you can try them. Go to different shops/online stores and try out as many test satchels as you can until you find one that you like.

Personally I love VPA (Venom Protein) but I'm not sure if they're available outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Having a small baby does make it more challenging. But not impossible.

I can't give you much in the way of suggestions for shakes. OTOH, there are a couple of bars I like. Gatorade makes a bar with 20 grams of protein that is pretty tasty. Clif makes a whey protein bar that I really like. A lot. I use them from time to time.


FYI, if you don't have a slow cooker or instant pot you may want to consider this investment. It is amazing how many portions you can prepare (and pop in the freezer) at once which take little effort, taste good and are very calorie friendly. It is the busy person's best kitchen friend.

I like GNC Lean Shake. I always get the high protein shake. It has 25 g protein. Chocolate is pretty good and really keeps me full.
