HMR 70 Plus Shake & Pudding Mix | Meal Replacement Powder | Lactose-Free | 15g Protein | Easy to Make | Low Calorie (7.35 Ounce (Pack of 1), Chocolate)

I bought these for the second time for my aunt for her diet. She enjoys drinking the chocolate flavor. She think it's taste great and taste much better than any other brand she had in the past. She is looking forward to purchasing more in the future for her diet as a supplement.

My husband did an all liquid diet on these shakes over 20 years ago to lose substantial weight. He uses these to help maintain his weight now. Great tasting and good quality. They help fill you up while getting decent protein.

I have tried many meal replacement shakes trying to find the best taste combined with the most protein and other vitamins and minerals. HMR 70 Plus shakes are by far the best. I have an aversion to artificial sweeteners however the sweetener used in this product is not overwhelming like others I've tried. (If you are pregnant you should avoid sodium saccharin.) The texture is smooth, not chalky. The shakes fill me up, so I have one for breakfast, and sometimes one for lunch with a snack in between, then a healthy dinner. They are a little pricey, but worth the costs to me. Both the chocolate and vanilla taste great! They mix up frothy and thick in my blender bottle and when you use a blender and add fruit... they are even better.

Taste: GreatTexture: SmoothFilling: YesI’m looking to permanently change my diet habits; serving size is a big deal.I just drank the first shake. I plan to use this at the 14 pack (+ others) of the HMR meals to lower my caloric intake. The meals and the shake taste good and there aren’t excessively bad ingredients or massive amounts of sugar. This shake mic is lactose free which is excellent (not all the meals are but I try to minimize my lactose consumption).It’s a good plan to try and acclimate myself to eating less. When losing weight, it is best to make it a permanent life change, unless you want to yo-yo around in your weight (Other than a reward on occasion).

So I'm torn between how many stars to leave this since I ordered both chocolate and vanilla, so I will give the average of the two.For chocolate, I give 5 stars. This flavor isn't chalky like other powdered chocolate drinks, and taste so good when blended with some strawberries or even a scoop of peanut butter (I also add 6-8oz of unsweetened almond milk and ice to both). My husband likes it with bananas for that really thick and sweet shake. It really tastes like a dessert drink that doesn't make you feel guilty afterwards, and I find myself looking forward to the next time I can have it.Vanilla is 3 stars at best. I personally have yet to find any powdered vanilla drinks (meal replacements or protein powder) that actually tastes good. There's always something off about it, sort of like diet drinks or artificial sweeteners. I've tried this blended with strawberries and with mixed berries, and both times I just wanted to throw my drink away. I also tried with frozen blueberies, which was pretty good, but I had to add so much blueberries to drown out the weird after taste that it was more like a sorbet afterwards than a shake. Frozen mangoes was also decent, but a little too sweet. Unless you're a die-hard vanilla person, this isn't really a flavor I'd recommend.I take this to replace one meal a day, either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending what I plan to eat throughout the day. I've noticed that it's helped me lose weight very slowly--however I'm not looking to drop weight fast, as I've already lost 15lbs from changing my diet (not too drastically either, bc those diets never work), through calorie counting and portion control. I just want to lose a couple more pounds, which I think this helps since I'm still enjoying what I eat, and my cravings for bad food isn't as bad as it used to be anymore. This is very expensive if one were to use this to replace 5 meals a day, but just for one meal, it's pretty satisfying and well worth it.

If you have never tasted any HMR product, I highly recommend you give it a try.Both the vanilla and chocolate protein mixes are tasty and easy to blend. I like to add the chocolate to my morning coffee.Their food is actually really good as well. Most of the food heats up in one minute.Cereal mix and bars are also very tasty and it's all low cal and good for you food.

HMR changed the recipe and now it tastes terrible! I drank them over 20 years. Bad decision by company to change recipe.

I wrote earlier in the week how I didn't like a particular packet that came out thin with a different taste. I'm updating the readers out there, because to my delight, and disbelief, it seems it was just the one packet out of the 18 in the box. The chocolate on the second, and third packets have been absolutely delicious. I'm back to wanting to lick my drinking glass. I'm a choc-a-holic at heart, and I love the flavor of the HMR's chocolate. It really is scrumptious. I thank God it was just the one packet that was a bit 'off', and not the entire box.J.E.
