IsoWhey Plant-Based Meal Replacement Shake

Combining my review of the IsoWhey Plant-Based Meal Replacement Shake together with my review of the IsoWhey Optimum VLCD Shake + Collagen. Both vanilla. Two or three stubborn kilos have crept on over the last few months and so I was keen to try a palatable low calorie-but-filling meal replacement option for evening meals on the nights when I'm looking for something other than my delicious home made soup.

In February last year I tried OptiSlim LCD Life Shakes but found that I actually gained weight, so they went into the bin!

So far I've found the IsoWhey Plant-Based Meal Replacement Shake to be quite ok when whizzed with 350 mls of low-fat lactose-free milk. There's a slightly grainy mouthfeel towards the end of the shake but otherwise the texture and flavour are pleasant enough. I should mention that since having these plant-based shakes I've been experiencing headaches, but I'm not sure if I can pinpoint the cause to this product just yet. Time will tell.

My husband has also tried the plant-based shake with almond milk (as suggested by the maker) and he reports that it's tasty and filling. Good to hear, as he's usually quite fussy with these things.

The IsoWhey Optimum VLCD Shake + Collagen is one that you blend with 200 mls of ice cold water. I'm enjoying the texture of this much better than the plant-based one. It's smoother, tastier and I would even go so far as to describe it as silky.

Early days yet and we're only having one a day here and there so I cannot report on any weight loss yet (or gain, hopefully not!). But I will update this piece in the fullness of time. No complaints thus far.

Do not waste your money on this product! – This product tastes terrible, artificial sweeteners over ride any other flavour. I am a healthy eating vegan who just has a spare tyre from hormones so not terribly over weight & don’t eat huge meals, this stuff had me ravishingly hungry within one hour… After sales service is non caring & non existent. I can get a refund on pet food if my pet doesn’t like it but not this? They told me that they don’t refund on “change of mind”, its hardly a change of mind if I’m willing to consume it but cannot because 1. It tastes terrible & 2. Doesn’t do what or is supposed to ie: keep you satisfied for at least more than one hour! I am VERY disappointed about this experience, and I will NEVER purchase any of their products again… IT’S A NO FROM ME!

This is fantastic for me as I'm receiving Stage 4 Cancer treatment at petermac Melbourne – I'm using it for the low sugar & it's 3 plant based whey Protein as I read it is 1 of best Protein for Cancer patients to take. I'm not taking it as a meal replacement but as an extra meal or 2 to get more protein & BCAA into my body to give me energy & 2 try 2 regain some of the 20kilo that the Cancer ate from my muscles & body I love both the Vanilla & chocolate flavours & easy 2 mix with milk.. So far good results on both Cancer & weight. I love it & will continue buying..Especially when it's on special like last time I bought 4 tins to go with my other 5 tins I already had bought.
