    Keep in mind when you say "meal replacement" you should be looking for a balance of macros. Gold Standard WHEY, you're getting just that. Protein with very little carbohydrates and fats. Be sure to balance it out by adding some oatmeal and a gob of peanut butter for example. Pop a multi vitamin with it and you'll be getting something pretty close to shakeology.

    I've got the vanilla ice cream flavour, and it really does taste like melted ice cream.

    I've heard elsewhere that the choc mint and double choc flavours are good too, but not found them yet.

    Edit to add- the container says it's not intended as a meal replacement, so you would def need to add stuff to make a meal of it.

    Best protein powder I have ever tried! I love the vanilla ice cream, delicious strawberry and chocolate malt. Am dying try the cake batter. I blend with unsweetened almond milk and ice. with the strawberry add some frozen strawberries and tastes just like a strawberry shake. the vanilla ice cream I add frozen fruit like blueberries or rhubarb too or even pumpkin. Really anything. They are so good. I usually drink one as a meal replacement and make a huge shake...about an hour before I work out.

    Occasionally I will mix it with a little low fat or full fat yogurt and fruit to get something more balanced and use it as a meal replacement.

    I'm more likely to have a shake with a salad for lunch or drink one after my workouts. I like chocolate the best, but cookies and cream is also good. I mix the cookies and cream with coffee, skim milk and a little ice to make a nice healthy alternative to Starbucks drinks.

    Yes I would use my 1%milk, peanut butter and prob a banana like I would with shakeology. For sure be adding things to it.

    Thanks for all the tips

    Maybe I'll try chocolate malt, Or cake batter first ....
