Best tasting shake I ever had!

For the first time in a long time I am excited and looking forward to my weight loss journey. I have been trying for years to lose the weight but it kept coming back. Yesterday, I have received my shakes firstly very impressed with the packaging and super excited about my extra's that I got with my order. But the best part was the the taste of the chocolate shake. Never, ever out of all the products that I have tried before have I tasted a healthy shake that's so good, nice and thick, filling, taste like a chocolate milkshake and it's so easy and conveniently packed. I love the sachets, it saves time and is effortless. I'm in love and super excited and looking forward to great results!

Good Afternoon Maryka

Lynette Pretorius (Cape Town, ZA)
Awesome Shakes

The Chocolate shake is undoubtedly the best chocolate drink I have ever tasted. It gives just the right amount of richness and sweetness, and it feels like you are eating chocolate dessert all the time - which is a huge bonus to satisfy the sweet tooth craving when you have a love for chocolate, whilst ensuring that the weight loss is happening. I like putting the shake in the freezer for an hour and a half, which comes out very much like rich chocolate ice cream. Well done on the combination of ingredients - you have a winner in my eyes!! In addition to the chocolate shake, I also consume the Vanilla one - which is just as satisfying and tasty. I have recently tried Coffee and Strawberry, and they are equally as nice. Congratulations all around and please do not change the formula.

Good Morning Lynette

Thank you for your review of OPTIFAST® Shake Chocolate. We are pleased that you love this product so much and that it tastes so great and has helped your weight loss journey.

Optifast Chocolate Shake

So when you are told that a meal replacement plan needs to be in place for 8 weeks, its a panic station ! You want me to what ? Not eat for 8 weeks ? are you mad in your head !!!
And now - three weeks in and I adore my chocolate meal - still filled with the necessary vitamins and minerals and stuff I've yet to understand - and best of all - I Don't Feel Hungry at All ! Roll on the next 5 weeks !

Good Evening Alison

Thank you for you review of the OPTIFAST® Shake Chocolate. That really sounds quite challenging, but really pleased that this is assiting you on the journey and that you adrore this product so much. Good luck with your next 5 weeks :-)

Optifast Choc shake

Of all the flavours chocolate is the best. It is filling, not too sweet, and a great replacement for breakfast. I blend mine with a few ice cubes and if I am having a busy morning, will throw in a tablespoon of seeds and a banana which sees me through until lunch time. It also helps curb the sugar carvings!

Thank you Genevieve for sharing your breakfast shake recipe with us. I am sure it is both delicious and filling!
