Lean Body for Her All-in-One Vanilla Meal Replacement Shake. 30g Protein, Whey Blend, Just 9g Carbs, 22 Vitamins and Minerals, No Artificial Colours, Gluten Free, (20 MRP Packets)

Building muscle while burning fat became paramount to me while on the Body For Life program several years ago. After being on the program for 9 months, I developed muscle for the first time in my life in addition to losing lots of fat. I attribute a great deal of my success to fueling my body with the right foods...including meal replacement drinks twice a day to keep my metabolism revving.Finding the right meal replacement powder (MRP) for those two meals a day became almost an obsession.I had four main criteria:1. Low sugar content (very important to me as the more sugar I have, the more I crave it)2. High amounts of vitamins and minerals3. Good tasting without the Aspartame (I have a sensitivity to it)4. Easy to mix--especially on the runI did a lot of research and a lot of testing. My quest for the best took me through chalky tasting ones, chemical tasting ones, downright nasty tasting ones, and difficult-to-mix ones.Finally, I got around to Labrada's Lean Body for Her shakes. I originally tried them because of their low sugar content but ended up loving how much energy they gave me and the great taste. I mainly used vanilla because I could mix nut butters and fruit to mix up the flavors. Loved them!Due to health issues, I went off program for the last two years, but I recently recommitted myself. Because of my previous success with Labrada Lean Body for Her, I went back to using it for two of my six meals each day. Right away I noticed there are a few things different with tLabrada's current MRP.I don't know how they did it, but they made the vanilla even better! I got the "Soft Vanilla" flavor and it taste just like ice cream! It is also even easier to mix. It seems like the powder itself is ground finer, which is probably why.The nutritional information is:Calories 190Calories From Fat 30Total Fat 3.5gSaturated Fat 1gTrans Fat 0gCholesterol 20mgSodium 300mgPotassium 360mgTotal Carbohydrates 9gDietary Fiber 3gSugars 1gProtein 30gLastly, while this may not be important to others, I truly love the fact that the tear strip on the envelopes actually work and are easy to open. A small detail perhaps but just the right added benefit to top off an already great product.As on most things, the amazon.com price is great...and I save even more money by using the Subscribe & Save. I'm not sure who controls shipping speed on the S&S, amazon.com or the seller themselves, but they certainly ship fast!

I have tried so many different protein powders and hands down this is the best one. I haven't tried the other flavors, just the vanilla. It tastes like soft serve vanilla ice cream. I have added strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and boysenberries as well as bananas, and no matter how I mix it, it always comes out great. And it tastes fantastic on it's own without anything added but ice and water. The Vanilla Ice Cream (comes in the tub) and Soft Vanilla Ice Cream (comes in the packets) have a slightly different taste, but it's not very noticeable and they both taste great. I love the packets because they are easy to take with me when I am on the go. I use the tub when I am home. The tub directions asks for two scoop fulls (70g) into 10 oz of water while the packets are one packet (49g) into 8 oz of water. So when using the tub, I use a little less than a scoop and a half. The tub is less expensive, but I can't help but like the packets for taking with me. I mix it up with ice and water in a BlenderBottle when I am on the go and it tastes great. It's not grainy, no after taste, and even without an electric blender it's smooth and frothy. Definitely a winner!

I've been incorporating a lot of protein shakes into my diet lately, so I have been trying a lot of different brands, hoping I will find the perfect one. This protein has been pretty good. I'm taking off 1 star because it's not "the best", but it tastes good, it mixes very easily in a blender bottle too.A big plus for anyone who travels, and wants to take their protein supplements with them, is that it comes in single serving packets! Recently I went on a trip, and I was able to bring the exact amount that I needed with me, and I didn't have to worry about transporting a giant tub, that takes up a ton of space, or the messy measuring and scooping it into a smaller container.So taste is good, mixes well, and I find that it suppresses my appetite really well when I drink this for lunch. I'm pretty hungry when dinner rolls around, but I'm not snacking in between meals. I'll order it again!

I'm not a breakfast person, and my usual first-meal is a cup of coffee or the occasional unhealthy option of a bagel & cream cheese, a muffin or something with bacon in it. On the days that I skip breakfast, I'm ravenous by noon and find myself easily caving into temptation of french fries or the pasta special at the lunch stop downstairs.I bought these meal replacement packs as part of a plan to get back into shape. It's only been a few days and so far I've just replaced breakfast with these shakes. I've been pleasantly surprised at the taste and how long it keeps me satisfied without making my hunger go out of control.In conjunction with this purchase, I also got myself a single-serving, personal blender and a shaker cup. The personal blender has been a PHENOMENAL accessory and I don't even want to bother with the shaker cup.I have a feeling the powder mixed only with water or milk as directed would be unacceptable to my palate. Instead, I've been adding a handful of frozen berries, low fat soy milk and buzzing it up in the blender with a few ice cubes for that perfect smoothie consistency. On days when I need an extra pick-me up, I mix in a bit of energy drink I haven't been craving coffee (flavor), but still need the caffeine kick. So far, so good! I'll report back if this product has any lasting power/results.

I just ordered these shakes in hopes for something filling, yet satisfying. I'll be the first to admit that I love eating. I am trying to get healthy, and eat better. I was a bit hesitant that these would not fulfill a meal for me, but I was proven wrong. I typically have been using these at breakfast. I just get a water bottle, drink some of the water to make it 10oz, and my packet and shake on the go. It is so quick, and really good (I got the vanilla flavor). I actually used it for dinner the other night because I was pressed for time. I highly recommend these shakes. They fuel me just like any healthy morning food would!
