Meal replacement shakes

Options
Has anyone compared the difference between Beachbody's Shakeology and Herbalife's Healthy Meal? If not, what other shake do you use and what attracted you to it?

    Total fan of Herbalife. I have not personally tried the Shakeology but I have a friend who has and she says that Herbalife is much better as far as flavor and she even said that Herbalife has more variety.

    Shakeology is very overpriced.

    I use Optimum Nutrition brand (chocolate mint flavor) and take a multivitamin. Delicious, just as good, and saves me money!

    Are you talking about Optimum Nutrition's Whey protein powder? I've never tried it but have recently heard numerous people say they love the chocolate mint flavor!

    Yup! Only like $18-19 for 2lbs of it :]
    The chocolate mint is my favorite flavor. Tastes like thin mint girl scout cookies when mixed with milk :]

    Herbalife for sure...All Natural 114 vitamins 20 minerals all sorts of flavors. They also have allergen free product for those who are allergic to milk, soy or gluten. And the satiety is increadible. Feel full for hours. the good thing about this program is that its is a personized program and you can use it in many ways! Wide variety of suppliment and woman health products. Highly recommend you work with a distributor that is well knowledge and has had excellent results using the program nutritionally correct.

    Shakeology is priced based on the nutrition that's inside it. You get what you pay for. I haven't tried other shakes, but Shakeology makes me feel REALLY good. It reduces my cravings throughout the day, it helps keep me balanced, and I never have to worry about not getting the right nutrition, which is a common problem when restricting calories.

    Acutally, as long as you read your nutritional information and all points are the same, you're just paying a premium for the hype that they're selling you.

    I use Herbalife and have had great results! So easy, you just have two shakes a day, with protein snacks and a reasonable dinner. They taste good and fill you up. I was a total skeptic, but have been won over.

    Drinkin' and Shrinkin'!

    I agree. Shakeology is good but very overpriced! Thanks for the infor on the other shakes. I'm going to look into those! I use the GNC Lean Shakes and they aren't bad either!

    Hey,
    lol i know this is going to sound "trendy" i suppose. I have a friend who did the body by Vi and let me try one of her shakes. I love them! I use them for replacing my lunch meal and it tastes amazing.. there are 200 different recipes so you can have any flavor... and the powder itself is just 90cal. :)
