What's the best meal replacement shake? Herbalife, Body By Vi, GNC Lean, Slimfast? Looking for all the perks: energy, weight loss, appetite suppressant, feel full, vitamins/nutrients included.

One of the best meal replacements shakes, or can even just be used as a shake for after a workout, is shakeology. It is somewhat expensive but gives GREAT results. Look it up at shakeology.com or beachbody.com0

This ^^ liquid shakes really don't do anything superior to whole food0 -
Herbalife has a lot of sugar. Body by Vi was alright, gave me mucho energy and kept me satisfied for about 3-3.5 hours (which is perfect as we should eat that often anyway).0
-
Shakeology and Body By Vi are very over priced too. They won't give you better results then whole healthy food.0

I like the body by Vi as well. I will add cappucino flavored soy slender (unsweetened) to it and makes a delish morning drink. Fills me up and you can all all kinds of yummy and filling (fiber filled) to them. I have one every morning and it keeps me from making bad choices !0

energy, weight loss, appetite suppressant, feel full, vitamins/nutrients included.
Meal replacement shakes are food, therefore, they will pretty much all give you energy, appetite suppression, fullness.
Now as far as vitamins/nutrients, they're not all created equally, so read the label to see what's in them. Myoplex, for example, is pretty good and reasonably priced.
Weight loss - No. You're not going to get "weight loss" from a shake. You get this from sticking to a calorie deficit over time.
My best advice is to get some whey powder that you like, and mix it with some carbs (milk, fruit, or oats), and optionally some fat (peanut butter), to create your own meal replacement shake.0 -
shakes are great for upping protein without significantly upping calories, I have found that dymatize iso 100, cookies and cream has no funny after tastes and is pretty yummy especially cold.0

i do body by vi, and i love them..you can make so many different kinds of shakes and they are so delicious0

I love food to much, the only shake I'd want is an icecream shake in chocolate please. I won't like a tried a shake or two in the past & I never enjoyed them as much as I enjoy a meal.0 -
It's easy to market something you love and use in your every day life and it's something that you know works.0

Truth......My whey powder with peanut butter, milk, oreo and nutella is amazing and definitely works.0 -
Not sure about Shakeology. I use body by Vi. Works great for me. I drink my favorite strawberry milk shake with it or add it to my Oatmeal for breakfast. The oatmeal turned out GREAT! I mean, i love it! And with Banana's! Anyways, I'm no good with giving info about it but i can say that it works for me. You can mix it with just about anything. It's in its own way, sweet.0

I like to use the Protica - "Orange" Isometric Meal Replacement. Walgreens.com and Lucky Vitamins.com sells them. They come in what looks like a big test tube. They are only 3.2 oz but they seem better balanced than some of the others I have tried. The down side is that sometimes they are a bit gritty but it is basically just a double shot.0

YES! I do too.0 -
I don't use any of the meal replacement shakes but I do make myself a "Green Smoothie" which is to die for! I literally feel like I should not be eating it because it's so good. I've seen several different recipes but this is what I put in and it works! In a blender, combine raw spinach/kale, carrot juice, skim milk, ice, protein powder, and your choice of fruit! (I usually put a banana and some berries in.) I don't have specific measurements because I just throw stuff in until it looks/tastes goods but it's very good and not to mention very healthy for you! I know it sounds absolutely disgusting but you cannot taste the spinach or carrot juice at all! It's a good way to get some servings of veggies in if you're not a veggie fan. (like me!)0

That's what I use too. I use the Extreme Milk Chocolate Whey powder and throw in a banana, cup of skim milk, and a teaspoon of all natural peanut butter. It's flawless for me (:0 -
I love my Shakeology!!!!! Shoot me a message or a friend request if you would like more information on it!!
Of course you love it. You are trying to sell it :P
I used to sell it, but Shakeology does work. I just can't afford it! One day I will. Don't knock it till you try it!0
