![]() The shake is ultra pasteurized so you don't have to keep it in the fridge immediately or at all if you don't want. This particular brand has to be shook a lot to really prevent clumps. The shakes are good but you do have to be sure to shake them. I wouldn't use these long term just because I don't get satiated as well with these as I do with real food. I also like them for their weight loss potential but I prefer them as the occasional meal replacement. These are all things that I look for in my nutrition because of my anemia. They have a surprising amount of B12, other B vitamins, iron, protein, and even calcium in them. I bought a few cases of these shakes because I like the amount of proteins, vitamins, and minerals they have in them. True These are okay tasting but thicker than other brands. I would never ever go for the cheaper brand again, not only did it taste awful but it did not sit well on my stomach and only kept me full for a couple short hours. It left a really strange residue in my mouth as well as an equally strange and gross aftertaste that lasted for so long that I actually had to go and brush my teeth to physically get rid of the taste in my mouth. First off the so called milk chocolate flavor tasted like some artificial chocolate substitute they make in factories. I kind of knew it was a mistake before I did it but I didn't realize just how accurate my assessment was until I tried one the following morning. I didn't feel like going to another store so I bought the store's generic brand instead. My only reason really for purchasing the Equate Weight Loss chocolate shake was because the store I was out was currently all out of the regular brand I am used to buying. If you are looking to try a shake based diet plan I do recommend trying these. If I don't have time to make a healthy snack or meal I will use these. I do not use them as directed but they are convenient and do come in handy in a pinch. However, I do like to keep these on hand as part of a healthy lifestyle and diet. Although the shake has protein and other things in it to help you feel full I still didn't follow this diet plan for very long. I found I could not give up actual food that easily. If you replace one or two meals a day with a shake you can significantly reduce your calorie intake thus loss weight. They have vitamins and nutrients that are healthy for you. The creamy milk chocolate flavor tastes good to me and are creamy. The Equate Ultra Weight Loss Shakes are about the same as the Slim Fast ones but are way more less expensive. Because these Equate shakes are so much more affordable than their Slim Fast counterparts, I can actually have more than one variety, to avoid boredom (I especially like the vanilla and strawberry flavors). If you are crunched for time for breakfast or lunch, these are definitely healthier than not eating at all, or eating junk food, so I always have at least 6 cans on hand in my fridge. ![]() These shakes are great for calorie control, but there is no magical formula here and I do not recommend this sort of diet for any longer than two weeks. I will usually revert to Equate's shakes whenever I have a couple of pounds to lose after too much indulgence, and I will have one shake for breakfast, one shake for lunch (with a fruit or some protein), and a light dinner. They do taste great and are especially satisfying as breakfast, but I will always get hungry within less than three hours. As far as taste goes, I love Equate's shakes just as much as I do Slim-fast.Īs far as weight loss goes, Equate shakes do help you control your calorie intake, while providing you with a decent amount of nutrition and vitamins, but I always find that these shakes make me crave something crunchy after less than three of four days of being on the shake diet. ![]() Equate has slightly more potassium than Slim fast (740 mg for Equate vs 600 mg for Slim fast), and Equate has less sodium than Slim Fast (190 mg vs 210 mg). The fat, protein, carbohydrates, and fiber counts are absolutely identical. If you compare label to label, you will see that the calorie count is identical (190 for both) BUT you actually get more product with Equate (11 ounces), versus 10 ounces for Slim Fast. The taste is also very similar and just as tasty, but they will save you about 25% to 35% and are a bit more budget friendly than the name brand. ![]() The Bottom Line: Equate Ultra weight loss Shakes are almost identical to Slim Fast shakes, as far as nutrition goes. ![]()
