Almased Meal Replacement shakes – Gluten-Free, non-GMO Weight Management Powder – Vanilla Flavor, 17.6 oz (2 pack)

I’ve lost 15 lbs in about 2 months BUT, I have one shake/day and for the other meals either vegetables or egg whites or tuna. I like the Almased because (1)it keeps my focus on losing weight, (2) it is easy to prepare, (3) it gives me all the nutrients I need while eating so few calories so I feel good, (4) my hair is thicker and healthier and fingernails are stronger. I do not believe that I could drink Almased for a meal and eat whatever I want for other meals and still lose weight. But, it is an effective tool with an otherwise healthy diet. I tried 2 shakes/day and got depressed, so I dropped down to 1/day and felt better. I have not been exercising but am not sedentary. Almased does not taste great. I put a cup of frozen berries in a Ninja, about a cup of water, 1/2 single serve packet of lemonade mix (True Lemon) and the Almased. Pulse 2 or 3 times and it is a bowl or a shake. That way it is enjoyable and feels more like a meal without adding many calories. It seems a bit expensive but at $4/meal, it isn’t bad. What would you pay to lose weight?? So, while I do not believe all the claims Almased makes, it does give the nutrients needed to reduce calories and still stay healthy and give a boost to hair and nails in the process. When I lose 15 more lbs, I’ll probably continue the Almased for the nutrition value and add in more daily calories.

My husband and I have been using this product as a meal replacement to help lose weight and improve our health. We are seeing positive results in just a month. We have used the vanilla and vanilla-almond flavors. We add extract (a variety of flavors), fruit, 100% cocoa, powdered peanut butter, matcha tea, chia seeds, flaxseeds, to make each shake different so as not to get bored. The taste is great and the shake is filling.

First off, I tried this product many years ago and honestly don't remember the results. This time I will remember! I gained 8 pounds over the holidays on top of 5 pounds I already needed to lose. Partly age and menopause, and partly holiday eating. Yes, this stuff is ridiculously expensive (I use a high quality collagen powder that costs about the same but it's about triple the amount), and yes, it doesn't taste great but I use the chocolate shake recipe and add a small amount of banana or raspberry extract and it's not horrible. The cost and taste are the reason I gave 4 stars. If not for that it would have been 5 because after only two days of the 3 day detox I'm already down 4 pounds. Water weight? Maybe. I don't care! The scale is moving in the right direction! We'll see how it goes from here. Just ordered a second can and hoping that might be all I need so I can get my normal low carb high protein diet back on track.

It works well as long as you work it, good appetite control good value for the money keeping the energy level up & protein content ,filling

My partner and I used about 7-9 cans total. The taste isn’t as bad as people say. It’s meh. My problem is that 1. We WERE hungry starting day two. And we got hungrier! 2. I have a history of hypoglycemia and my partner is mildly diabetic. They say it’s good for diabetics so I assumed it would be okay. It is not! Be careful if you have blood sugar issues. I struggled much more with blood sugar drops but we both experienced some. Mine were severe. 3. We lost a total of maybe 1-3 pounds and gained it back the moment we stopped, and then some. So why three stars? Except for the fact that the ingredients, like yogurt, are not organic or GrassFed (which is a pretty big deal health wise), they seem like fairly good quality. It would be impossible to have used local honey, which of course would be best, but the combination is evidence based. The taste is manageable. And I think had we not suffered blood sugar issues it would have been fairly do-able, but I don’t love any plan that is liquid based because I just don’t believe overall it’s the most healthy. Still, for what it is, I think it’s good for many people.

Overall, I love this product because it actually seems to be working. I will say the taste is not the greatest. I add extra vanilla flavoring and three packets of Splenda and that helps a lot. It’s pretty chalky. But I love the way it’s making me feel because I definitely can tell that it’s working.

Delicious shake with water, milk or orange juice, and it satisfies my food craving nicely. The product arrived quickly and was very well-packaged to avoid damage in transit. Have purchased several times, and will continue to do so.

Works really well But it is pricey as one tin is only 10 meals The program is expensive if you have a lot of weight to lose The almond-vanilla flavour is great but much more expensive now So I am now trying the original flavour Haven't received it yet
