Slimfast Shakes

Recently I have been having a SlimFast shake for my breakfast instead of toast or cereal.  I prefer to buy them pre-made in the little bottles as they are more convenient to drink (no measuring or shaking).

They come in Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla, Café Latte, Banana, Mint, and Cookies & Cream flavours.   My favourites are the vanilla and café latte.

They can be a little pricey to buy so shop around.
Sainsburys have a pack of 6 for £9.50, where as Boots sells them in packs for £8.99 and individual bottles too so you can try different flavours.
Places like Poundland, B&M or Home Bargains also sometimes stock them, plus they sometimes have different flavours too from around the world.

I have found the best place to order from is Amazon, keep an eye on the prices and also if any offer codes come up.  My last order had a 20% coupon on the pack and so I brought a pack of 6 for just over £5!

With the SlimFast plan, you can have two SlimFast meal replacements, plus three 100-calorie snacks (they have SlimFast snack bars too) and a 500-calorie meal that you provide. With this plan you can eat 6 times per day.

SlimFast Ranges



I prefer to have a shake for breakfast, sometimes a bar for lunch (they can make you quite windy though!) and then a main meal in the evening.   I have been logging my calorie intake on an app called Nutracheck.

So far so good and I have lost 4.4kg over the past 4 weeks or just over 2lbs a week), just by substituting some meals with the shakes and trying to eat sensibly.   I also swim for 45 mins on weekday evenings as much as I can.

This post isn't sponsored - just my own opinion on what has been working for me for weight loss recently.

Slim.Fast 321 Plan

Slim.Fast 321 Plan

Slim.Fast, the iconic weight loss brand, is set to launch a new plan: ‘Slim.Fast 3.2.1’. The updated plan will continue to offer a simplified approach to weight loss, offering a variety of delicious and nutritionally-balanced, portion-controlled meal replacements to help people lose weight quickly, easily and safely.

The name ‘3.2.1’ simply refers to the daily meal plan regime of 3 snacks, 2 shakes and/or meal bars and 1 balanced meal. The new product range provides built-in portion and calorie control, so there are no counting calories or points, or weighing of foods.

Each Slim.Fast meal replacement contains a precise balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fibre and healthy fats, together with essential vitamins and minerals. This guarantees you get the nutrients you need while losing weight, packed into tasty shakes and crunchy meal bars. This unique combination makes slimming with Slim.Fast not just healthy, but enjoyable too.

Slim.Fast is committed to understanding the motivators that lead people to lose weight and help them navigate the challenges of dieting. The Slim.Fast principals on which the 3.2.1 Plan is based have stood the test of time for over three decades. Plus, Slim.Fast has over 10 years of clinical evidence showing people using Slim.Fast can lose more weight and keep it off for longer than with a conventional calorie-controlled diet.

I have tried the latest snacks and shakes from Slim.Fast and I must say I am pleasantly surprised.

The powder shakes now come in Café Latte, Summer Strawberry, Rich Chocolate, Blissful Banana, and Simply Vanilla. They are only 230 calories each if made with skimmed milk, perfect for breakfast or lunchtime.

When Slim.Fast first launched (or at least became popular) their powder shakes used to always be gritty as if the powder hadn't dissolved enough no matter how long you shook it for ... they seemed to have solved this and now the shakes are smooth and creamy.

The ready to drink shakes are the same, smooth and creamy, quite tasty and easy to drink on the go. Each bottle is 325ml and contains only 220 calories, there are eight delicious flavours to choose from and you can use these to replace one of your daily meals (breakfast or lunch).

Also each Slim.Fast Ready-to-Drink Shake has 22 essential vitamins and minerals and provides protein and fibre. The flavours include: Rich Chocolate, Simply Vanilla, Café Latte, Blissful Banana, Raspberry Crush, Fruits of the Forest, Summer Strawberry and limited edition flavour Lemon Meringue.

In addition to the shakes Slim.Fast also have a range of meal bars. Perfect if you are not a big fan of milk or during the day you are not near a fridge - you can keep the meal bars in your bag or pocket. Each bar is 210 calories or less and there are three flavours to choose from: Chocolate Crunch, Fruits of the Forrest and Yogurt Muesli.

I haven't tried the bars, but I did try some of Slim.Fast's snacks and they were quite tasty and filling for a small packet.

I would like to emphasize that although Slim.Fast products are full of essential nutrients and can help aid weight loss you must always talk to your doctor before starting a diet such as Slim.Fast and keep in touch if you start to feel ill or 'under the weather' while following the plan.

At no time should Slim.Fast be used to substitute all your meals, the plan is designed for breakfast and lunch replacement only ... you must always eat a balanced and sensible dinner (main meal of the day). The packs and website will help you with recipes and meal plans to suit your lifestyle.
