Labrada Nutrition Lean Body Hi-Protein Shake, Strawberry, 2.47-Pound Tub Strawberry Packaging May Vary

All too often, I see protein shakes instead of meal replacement shakes. I don't know if this is because it's more popular but when I started looking at this specific meal replacement product, I figured I would get it a shot. I was excited when I saw that they had a strawberry flavor because I believe it has a more refreshing flavor instead of dense like chocolate. The taste of this product is absolutely amazing. I'm not kidding, I get excited when I know I'm about to make one because it taste like a strawberry milkshake you would buy from Burger King or anything other fast food place. I use 10oz of water, 2 scoops of powder and just a few ice cubes to make it cold. I noticed that if you use too many ice cubes it will make it very thick and it is very hard to drink. The bottle says you can use your favorite beverage to mix with, but I just use water to avoid any extra calories. I usually have this shake in the morning after I work out and it will keep me full for several hours. I'm a lager guy 6'1 277 lbs so I have a very big appetite. After drinking this shake I sometimes feel like I could still eat something, but I just let time pass and eventually the hunger will go away. Within the first 3 days of using this product I lost about 4 pounds. I was around 283 lbs when I starting drinking this stuff for breakfast and dinner and before I knew it I was below 280. Making up this shake is really easy to do and only takes about 5 minutes. If you are significantly less weight than me, you will probably be full immediately after drinking this. Since I'm a big guy I think I have a much bigger appetite. I just bought another bottle yesterday as a back up because I know I'll be drinking all of this stuff up. In all honestly, it can be a little expensive but if you want a shake that can replace ONE daily meal, I would absolutely buy this stuff. I love having this on hand because if I am not in the mood to cook, or I'm tempted to eat unhealthy for dinner or lunch, I know I can come back to this product and take care of my hunger. Some of the reviews on here say that people are using it multiple times a day for each meal, however I wouldn't recommend it. I think it would be better at a maximum of 2 meals per day.

(3/22/2017) I am posting as a verified Purchaser who has NOT been given any discounts this review. I have had a VERY hard time a with appetite control. I am purchasing this shake in the hope to control my appetite and cravings, to lose some weight with portion control and some exercise. I will be using this shake as a lunch replacement once a day. My first impression after receiving my strawberry shake mix- I didnt receive a scoop in the powder, and I dug pretty far to the bottom? So I took the scoop out of a different protein powder I had. My scoop is 35 grams and I mixed ONE scoop to 10 oz water. Today I had this shake for supper at 4pm. And it was actually VERY good compared to all other shakes I have had in the past. I drank it in a few minutes, It was smooth and tasted similar to strawberry nesquick milk... Update(3/22/17): It is 8:30 pm and I have NO appetie. No cravings and feel full. Update (3/24/17): I have been consuming the this drink the last few days at the same ratio 10 oz to ONE scoop powder. I have been having it as my lunch and I am usually full till ATLEAST 5pm and do not eat much for supper and wake up not very hungry (THAT IS CRAZY FOR ME). My diet has been eggs and toast in the morning, snack around 10 am usually peanuts, shake for lunch, some kind of lean protein for supper and veggies... I eat and I am really not that hungry...it is AMAZING! The last few days have made me realize how much bad stuff I have been eating?! I have tried SO many diet shakes, and once they leave the body, you typically feel starved and eat worse, but this shake must be magic (haha!).I can't believe how much my appetite has been controlled CONTINOUSLY!! I will post updates as I go on with this Meal replacement! We will see if the "full" effect lasts, and if i have any weightloss results!

Labrada Nutrition Lean Body Hi-Protein Meal Replacement Shake, Strawberry, 2.47-Pound Tub | I decided I wanted to start my mornings with a meal-replacement shake that gave me a lot of nutritional benefits, especially protein. Breakfast is often the meal I either skip, or get lazy and eat something without a lot of substance to it like cereal. I looked at a lot of different shakes, and decided the Lean Body brand looked the most promising. I started off with chocolate-- It was okay, doable. I'm extra sensitive taste- and texture-wise in the morning, so while I was getting through it, it was not a pleasant start to my day. I tried the chocolate peanut butter flavor next. Much more tolerable, but still kind of weird, though I found by adding cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove, it tasted more like a cheap but acceptable chai drink. Still not ideal, though. But for the positive response I was getting from it physically, I was committed to getting used to it! I was wary to try strawberry, since that can be a disastrous flavor, but went ahead and took a chance and ordered that flavor next. It. Was. Delicious. Genuinely, not even compromising. Creamy, smooth, fruity-- That sugar-alternative flavor was barely noticeable... My brother is a big work-out junkie and drinks a LOT of intense shakes and tried it, and couldn't believe how good it was. "It's like drinking a milkshake!!" He ended up asking if he could use a scoop of mine to make his taste better. Now in the morning, I genuinely ENJOY drinking this stuff, and I know I'm starting my morning with plenty of stuff I need to have a healthy day and get me in good mindset to continue that later. I truly believe that I've felt an improvement in my overall health from drinking this daily. I'm always nervous about cost, but you gotta' figure this is about two bucks a serving, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a meal that's this quick, rounded, and enjoyable for less!

When I got the strawberry flavor product I wasnt sure how its going to taste but once I tried it I enjoyed the flavor. My energy didnt feel low or sluggish like normally. I didnt lose any weight with it but it did fill me up for a couple of hours (from 4-8 hours) depends if I'd have 1 or 2 cups and what I mix it with. Sometimes 2 cups would make me feel bloated and over filled, again it depends on what I mix it with. I always mix it with different fruits in a blender, I even add supplements and vitamins in it and no bad reactions. ***To reduce belly fat I'd add green tea extract in the smoothie (**green tea extract dont make you feel jittery the way green tea does**) and it worked like a charm. My belly went down every week, I didnt lose alot of weight but somehow I lost belly fat weekly mixed with the green tea extract. Hope that helps!

I’ve purchased this in a few different flavors when they have been offered at a reduced price. Strawberry is good, Molten Chocolate is okay and Cinnamon Bun is tolerable. I just don’t see it as a being worth the high price. I’ll wait for the next sale.

Delicious.

I've drank Labrada LeanBody protein in the past and always found them to have reliable, decent flavor. I honestly couldn't drink this one - I double-checked and expiration date was fine. I tried a couple of times and ended up throwing out. Not sure if I just got a bad batch or if the formula has changes since I last purchased.

This has been really handy while traveling. Just carry the required quantity along with a shaker bottle, and the scoop that comes with it. If mixing it with water feels too bland, you can buy some milk or almond milk and have your dinner replaced by this shake. It is quite filling. It has helped me during my trips to keep my weight in check. It says on the label that it is *not* for weight loss, I guess it is more about a complete array of nutrients corresponding to a normal diet. If weight loss is your goal you might want to consume only XX% percent the recommended quantity, and for the rest portion eat low calorie stuff - e.g. lettuce or greens (XX depends on you calorie requirement - after all weight loss is just about calorie maths !). So for me it still is a great help to control calories. The taste is not bad, at least with almond milk, I never tried with just water, but often half-diluted milk - it still tastes great, and add one half of a banana and crushed ice, extra scoop of whey - It's nearly as good as the workout smoothies you get at Jamba juice. This stuff adds the fantastic color. I briefly went through the ingredients list, I did not look deep into the list, but taking a cursory look I can tell the ingredients are more than just ordinary meal supplements, it has many stuff from lean muscle supplements (e.g. L-arginine, BCAA, Glutamine etc.)

I have tried the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla shakes and they are all incredible. Very tasty and keeps me full for at least 5 hours! I will continue to order them….

I’ve purchased after seeing many good reviews, first I decide to try mix water but it wasn’t that good,and then i tried with milk but I still think it tastes not good,too sweet and consistent become like jelly Delivered very fast,next day but the taste not for me

This was possibly one of the worst things I have tasted!
