Vi-Shape - Original Nutritional Shake Mix Sweet Cream Flavor - Pack of 1

Great product , for loosing weight, and its the shake, that taste like cake. You can mix with water or milk, add peanut butter, small puece of chocolate, add ice, put in blender. You drink 2 shakes a day, morning, lunch, and eat dinner, or mix it up.

I gave this product 5 stars, but with mixed emotions. It is certainly very tasty, mixes with anything you like to make a very low-cal, low carb drink. It is a little pricey, but with free shipping it is still not bad compared to a lot of drinks/supplements available that don't taste nearly as good. It does have LOTS of healthy vitamins/minerals, fiber and is low sodium. Bravo for that! It is hard to get the best of both worlds, I know! On a low-carb diet, it is hard to find anything "sweet", and the use of artificial sweeteners is something I try to avoid but is nearly impossible - especially in pre-packaged foods. This mix contains sucralose. Of course, everyone has their opinion and reacts differently to different sweeteners. I don't have any adverse reactions to any of them in term of headaches, etc. The other concern is that the product is Soy based, which I have been reading about - Soy suppresses the Thyroid gland - which regulates metabolism. So, it might be a catch-22 kind of thing. If you are eating a diet heavy in soy and not losing weight - it might be a clue as to why not. On the plus side: It does have MTC's (medium chain triglycerides) which are found in coconut oil, and they HELP your thyroid. If your thyroid is suppressed, you don't lose weight without a fight, believe me. So, my personal answer to using this product is to make a shake in a blender once a day - sometimes twice, using almond or coconut milk, pouring in a couple tsps of melted coconut oil to get it blended in, and then a 1/2 cup of wild blueberries (frozen) and a bit of crushed ice. Tastes like "Blueberry Ice Dream" that I used to love at Chik'fil'A. Hoping that adding the coconut oil will appease my thyroid, and besides - 90 calories for a "meal" is just not enough. Make sure to add something more substantial like a good fat (natural peanut butter or almond butter, coconut oil) to keep your metabolism from tanking. I also like it as a beverage/snack using just 1 scoop and some kind of milk, it is delicious and filling for 45 calories (plus the milk). I will use this bag up, and see how it goes - along with doing low carb/protein/healthy fat, plus exercise. I also just started taking iodine supplements to boost my thyroid function. (I am hypothyroid and Synthroid really doesn't seem to do anything for me, even when it keeps my levels in an "acceptable" range - however, after adding coconut oil to my food, my levels dropped after only 6 weeks. Hopefully this trend will continue and I can get off of thyroid medications). It is a good meal replacement for me when I am on the run or not taking time to cook a real meal. It does state in the marketing that is is made with Soy, but I really wish the entire ingredient label were shown. This seems to be the case with just about anything on Amazon, however.

Hey Folks. Let me get right to the "skinny" of this product and my experiences in using it. A very quick background on me: I played football most of my child life and played D1 ball in college. I joined the Army and gave Uncle Sam 10 years before being discharged as a disabled Vet. Why is any of this relevant? Because I want to stress that I have always taken very good care of my body and have put countless years of effort into being in the best shape possible. Now that I am disabled from the Military, I have to be creative and find other ways to take care of myself. Not being able to get out and run 5 miles a day anymore, I had to become quite a bit more creative in my eating habits and working out. I scoured the planet far and wide using so many various products to try to accomplish my goals. I wanted a quality shake that I could use each morning as a meal replacement for breakfast. After thousands of dollars, I have finally found my winner. Wow is this stuff great! Look, I won't bother to hammer you with 100 scientific details as to why and how this product works. Instead, I will tell you why I like it and why I think you might as well. I am an above average guy. 6'4'' and 240 or so. Not fat, not cut, not anything most would consider outside of "normal build". I love this product because it fills me up and I don't have to watch the clock hoping it's lunch time already. How I like to make my shakes: I make an 8 ounce cup of coffee each morning via my Keurig and pour it over ice I put 2 scoops of this into my Ninja blender with the 8 ounces of coffee and a sugar free creamer of choice for a bit more flavor Add a few pieces of ice and boom, iced coffee smoothie that tastes DELICIOUS! Another way I do it is I take 2 scoops of this shake mix, a handful of ice cubes, and I use various MIO flavor enhancers (yes, those little bottles that you squirt flavors into your waters with) and talk about a transformation. MIO has a plethora of flavors, and 2 to 3 squirts into this mix changes the flavors so well. I have been using these shakes for a few months now, and have always felt satisfied until lunch time (I drink mine around 730 AM, lunch at Noon). For the price, I don't think you can beat how good these make you feel. I have also cut about 10 pounds over that 2 month period with cutting some carb consumption and simply walking a bit more. It doesn't take much to feel better about yourself and drop a few pants sizes. You just have to want it, and this is a wonderful tool to help you accomplish your goals. It's not a miracle shake. You won't drink it and feel full for days and lose 100 pounds watching TV. It is a life changer if you want it to be a tool in your arsenal of better health. Good luck to everyone trying to improve their health. You can do it, trust me! I went from never walking again to believing, to now jogging. Anything is possible.

I had a baby August 31, 2013. Gained 55lbs. My mother was using this shake mix and had told me to try it. I laughed and was like "whatever!" When I wasn't seeing any results with normal dieting in the first month or two, I decided anything (even something my MOM was using) was worth a shot. I was skeptical of course, especially because it was kind of expensive. I began using it at first, just a shake in the morning with either no fat or skim milk....sometimes soy milk. Sometimes I would also have one for lunch if I was busy and didn't have time to prepare a quick healthy meal. I will say its super yummy. I was watching what I was eating as well. The weight was coming off.....slowly. I started to see a dietitian in the end of December and told her I was on the Vi shakes. She seemed pleased with that. We decided to go ahead and do a lower carb diet and high protein. I see her every month. Every month she commends me on how fast I am losing the weight. She says a majority of people lose about 4 lbs a month....I've been losing 10+ on average. Although I would like to lose it FASTER (haha who wouldn't!), I guess I'm doing great. I've looked into a lot of different protein shakes. Lots are high in sugar and some in carbs too. I like Visalus because its packed full of vitamins and not just a sugary carb filled protein shake. I like that I no longer have to take a multi vitamin. Since using Visalus my hair and nails have grown faster as well. I feel better. I don't like the packaging.....that's the only downfall. I know my mom likes to put her shakes in a blender with fruit, but I am limiting sugar intake so fruits wouldn't work well for me. I've read some reviews saying Visalus is not the best, but honestly, I think it is. Every time I used to go to re order, I'd check out other protein shakes to see if I was missing one that is comparable and cheaper....and looking at the nutrition info.....nothing actually compares for MY diet. I highly recommend this as a protein shake and also as a good source of nutrients. I've lost the pregnancy weight at 6 months post partum, and will continue to use this shake just because I really love it.

I'm about halfway thorough losing around 25 pounds using Visalus for the second time; the last time was a few years ago. I honestly like the product, but I'm only consuming it to lose the weight over about two months. I would not recommend it as a long-term diet. I also suggest ignoring all the hype about it. Plain and simple: it works because you are replacing what used to be breakfast and lunch with a 300 calorie (or less) "meal". Feel free to do the same thing with 300 calories of celery, vegetables or cardboard for that matter. In fact a lot of times I'll have a Carnation breakfast shake instead; or a Slim Fast. There's no difference (well, different chemicals I guess). But I do like the taste of the Visalus, and the Carnation concerns me because of the sheer massive quantity of the stuff you have to consume (6 tablespoons per glass of milk??). As for this particular sack o' chemicals, here are my thoughts: PROS: - I think it tastes pretty good even with out the mix-ins. - Cost comes to about $1.20 to $1.50 a shake if you include the milk. I've seen other comments arguing about the "real" cost. Look, I don't care. If the stuff costs less than the dog food I used to have for lunch its cheap enough. - If I try simply converting to a 300 calorie meal, I'll be tempted to have a little more and give into that temptation. By carefully measuring out the chemicals in this bag as if I'm in a science lab handling plutonium, I know exactly how much synthetic goodness I'm getting. CONS: - Did I mention its a bag of chemicals? - Well, mostly unrecognizable chemicals, except of course soy. As a man (for now anyway), too much soy concerns me. But so long as I'm only using the stuff for a couple of months I'll risk it if it means I'll look better naked. BOTTOM LINE: - In addition to using this I lift weights in the AM and ride my bike to work. The combination of all of this seems to work in LOSING the weight, but if you want to keep it off you are going to have to tackle the more difficult task of changing your diet long-term. Not drinking during the week may have to remain a permanent part of my routine now, which distresses me, but so be it.

Seriously, I thought I would hate this product. I have an aversion to soy in any form, but I was desperate. I needed something that I would make easily and change the flavor around so I didn't get sick of it. I need to be on a meal replacement diet for at least 3 months. When I opened the pouch this morning. I thought here we go, it smells like the formula powder I used to mix up on the farm 50 years ago for the baby calves that lost their moms. It didn't smell bad...but it smelled just like that stuff. I made two shakes today with the powder and I was delighted. Since it is only 90 calories before you start adding things too it, there is some wiggle room for making it great tasting. Some of the meal replacement powders are already so high in calories you can't add anything to them or you might as well have a regular meal. I used 8 oz of low fat milk this morning, with six ice cubes and a cup of frozen raspberries. I didn't realize the powder has a little sweetener right in it. I did not have to add any additional sweetening to make it taste great. It made a beautiful thick tasty shake. For lunch I made one with frozen peaches, 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1/2 cup vanilla coconut milk and a few drops of vanilla extract. Fabulous.You can make all kinds of combinations with this one powder. I am not going to have a hard time staying on this at all. I hesitated buying something like this because of the price...what if it was was awful? It was very very good to my surprise. It comes out to $1.67 plus whatever you want to add, per shake... That is a lot lower that most breakfast or lunches out. Most people spend a lot more on that on their coffee each day. When I looked at it that way...I decided it was very cost effective ...since it was easy to use and tasted great. I would like to add after being on this now for 5 days..I dropped 7 pounds without feeling hungry or deprived. I feel this best I have felt in a long time and I an no longer sleepy in the afternoons..because of carb overload. When you feel better you are far more active. Helpful Hint...I was looking at the rating on this and trying to figure out why anyone wouldn't have given this 5 stars...I thought...They must not be mixing it right. For maximum enjoyment...don't put this in one of those shaker bottles with a ball and shake...You certainly will not get the best result that way. If you want a really delicious meal...then use a blender or bullet type machine. Start by placing a cup of liquid (juice, milk, coconut milk..whatever combination you like) in with the powder first...blend for a minute, so that it is smooth, then add your 6-8 ice cubes and frozen fruit.) Blend until is it thick and creamy. I like mine thick to eat with a spoon so I add a lot of ice...want to just drink it with a straw...add less ice. Enjoy...and watch the pounds melt away.

I love this stuff! It has a great taste, and is easily mixed with coffee or fruit for a great cold drink or smoothie. It does wonderful things for digestion!

I've only been drinking Visalus for 6 days but so far I am beyond excited. I am using these as a meal replacement for 2 meals a day since I am trying to lose weight. After 5 days I have lost 7.5 lbs with no change to my normal exercise routine. I do walk 4.25 miles most mornings and walk an additional 3.75 miles in the afternoon 4 times per week. I can't possible imagine being able to lose that much weight every week but it's a GREAT start. For healthy snacks I've been eating a piece of fruit (banana, apple, etc.). I did do some trial and error to determine what worked for me from a taste perspective and have provided details below. Overall details: -These fill me up at 2 scoops per shake - If sufficiently mixed in a blender or with a shaker bottle I do not think these are grainy at all and I'm pretty picky from a texture standpoint Note: I have determined that the shaker bottle works great and no longer bother with the overhead of using a blender -To me there is a slight aftertaste but I just follow each shake with a chaser of 12oz of water -The first few days I was physically EXHAUSTED - even going to bed earlier. I think my body has now adjusted and I seem to be at normal energy levels again. -The first few days I did have a persistent headache. Again, I think this was my body adjusting to the lower calories. What didn't work for me: -Shake mixed in blender with water and no additional flavorings. YUCK! -Shake mixed in blender with skim milk and no additional flavorings. YUCK!!! What worked for me: -Shake mixed in blender (or shaker bottle) with 1 cup skim milk (80 calories) and 2 tbsp sugar free pudding mix - YUM! -Shake mixed in blender (or shaker bottle) with 1 cup unsweetened blend of coconut milk and almond milk (35 calories) and 2 tbsp sugar free pudding mix - YUM! If you mix everything together in the morning and let it sit until the afternoon it's almost a pudding consistency which you can eat with a spoon or somewhat drink as a beverage (it's thick). I find it equally as good to just mix together and drink right away. Since I am using sugar free pudding mix in my shakes I can easily switch up the flavors so it doesn't get boring: Chocolate, butterscotch, pistachio, banana cream, etc. Next I plan on trying to mix in fruit and ice instead of pudding mix to add additional variety. I doubt I would do this during the week due to convenience but it might be a nice change on the weekends. I am also not sure that "just" fruit will mask the taste of the base shake flavor enough for me to like it. UPDATE: I have been drinking Visalus as meal replacement for 2 meals a day for 5 weeks and have lost 17.8 lbs so far. I take Saturdays off from calorie scrutinization and pretty much allow myself to eat whatever on that one day. This gives me a way to "reward" myself for a good week, provides a mental break and IMO informs my body "hey, don't worry - we are not starving"

Best flavored whey protein ive ever tried. Mixes easily and doesn't have a gritty texture like most do. Takes about a week or even closer to two weeks to start noticing boost in energy and stamina. Im actually impressed with this product. Buy t p on sale lol.

this product delivers on its promise to help loose weight as a meal replacement. it dampens your appetite and tastes good. add the flavor sachets for variety. delivery from this company was prompt and better than promised.

Wenn Sie eine gute Diät einhalten, werden Sie hervorragende Ergebnisse erzielen, andernfalls wird Geld verschwendet, weil es nicht billig ist

Best tasting shake mix on the arket today

Love this product! Tried others, but this has the best flavour.
