Best Taste and No Aspartame!
By P. Norton
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!

Quite possibly the best protein shake, ever
By B Daley
This is a great product! It is the best protein shake I've ever come across. Here's why:-Only 180 calories. So many protein shakes on the market have 300 + calories. That's great if you're looking to turn into the next Arnold, but if you're like me and just want to get in better shape and tone your muscles than it's nice to not consume so many calories.-There's only like 1 g of sugar.-Unlike most protein shakes/meal replacement shakes I've had, you really truly can make this one with water. Most other shakes are so funky that you have to use milk or soymilk. Not this one. It literally works with water. I use 8 oz of water, a few cubes of ice, and blend.-It's THICK. Really thick. It's like a thick milkshake, so it's really filling. Fills me up as much as a meal if not more.-Tastes GREAT. I love the taste!

I made some modifications
By H. Thomas
I prefer the vanilla over the chocolate. But with both I make some modifications. The directions say to add 12oz. of liquid. I used 24-32oz. This way the shake is not too thick, it controls my hunger/cravings for longer periods of time, and it helps me to meet my daily water needs. It only takes two shakes a day using the 32oz. modification to meet the recommended 8 glasses of water a day.
