I’ve been trying to lose some weight for a while. I’ve been trialling slimming world, but I’m finding it really hard to discipline myself with that. Also, I’ve tried walking more, but I am lacking the motivation to go on a walk by myself. So when I was asked if I wanted to try another method, I thought why not?! I was kindly gifted the XLS Nutrition Healthy Weight Loss Shake in the Strawberry flavour.
How to make the shake
To make the shake, all you need is milk and the powder. These shakes contain enough proteins and nutrients for this to replace an entire meal. Now, let me be real here. I was sceptical about this. I mean, some protein powder and some milk replacing an entire meal? No way!
I’ve been having the shake as part of my breakfast. I’m really bad with eating breakfast, so this is perfect as I don’t always have breakfast and this is the perfect thing for me when I have those early starts. Would I say that this completely replaces a meal. For me, no. I think that meal replacements is an individual thing, but for me, as someone who loves food, its not something that I’m into. Like I said, I have swapped breakfast for this, but that is because 9 times out of 10 I wouldn’t normally eat breakfast. If I were to replace lunch, I personally don’t think it would go as well. I could totally see myself snacking a lot!
The flavour of the strawberry weight loss powder is so nice. It smells like a bowl of strawberries and it’s so nice in the morning. It also actually tastes like strawberries, another plus for me! I know it says strawberry flavour, but most things that are flavoured like strawberries, don’t actually taste like strawberries. Am I right, or is that just me?
It’s too soon to see if this is helping me on my weight loss journey or not. The container says that I really should replace two meals a day with these shakes, but I honestly can’t see me doing that! My love of food is too strong!
