I've never been a meal-replacement type of gal. I don't know. Maybe it was seeing my parents on Slim Fast my whole childhood and seeing how miserable managing their weight that way seemed to be. Although I struggle with my weight, I decided pretty early on that I wouldn't try meal replacement plans. From the research I've done, it's a way to lose weight, only to put more weight back on after you start having real meals again. I'm learning Intuitive Eating for my personal weight management and it's a more sustainable lifestyle.
All that being said, I thought I'd give it a whirl since it came in the mail complimentary in the GoVoxBox from Influenster. I can honestly say that I love the shaker cup. It mixes the shakes very well and is great when you're on the go. I was actually pleasantly surprised how well it mixed the shake powder. I expected there to be big lumps of powder in the water, but I was thrilled when it mixed perfectly and the lumps of powder were gone! That Jaxx mixing system works great!
I'm sure I will be using it in the future for my juicing and smoothies as well.
As for the shakes, I'm not crazy about them. The Fresh Berries shake tasted more like leftover milk from some "fruity" sugary cereal. Also, I couldn't handle the aftertaste. I drank it in the morning with the hopes of not being hungry before lunch and I was disappointed when two hours later my stomach was grumbling from hunger.
The next day I tried the Swiss Chocolate shake and I have to say it is waaay better than the fresh berries shake, but still not something I would go out and buy to try to lose weight.
Give it a try though. I tried this with an extremely critical eye and you might be one who will enjoy it!
