By Scott Magers Having tested close to 40 different meal replacement formulas sold on the market over the last 10 years it is interesting to note that not all shakes are created equal. You would be wise to not go out and purchase a product in this category because of a fancy label or big dollar advertising. After all, it is food you are consuming and it is always wise to watch what goes into your body, especially if you are attempting to lose some weight. Of the shakes I sampled I can honestly say that only one brand would get my vote as being ideal if your standards are like mine. What are these standards you may ask? Good question. Here they are... 1. The product must look and taste fresh and not clump up or stick to the shaker bottle. 2. It must mix easily in water and not require a blender. 3. It must mix evenly and not have big chunks still present after three minutes of vigorous mixing. 4. It must taste delicious and have no chemically after-taste (this is a common problem with most brands) 5. The protein, carbohydrate and fat ratios need to be in balance to keep your blood sugar stable. 6. It must digest easily in your stomach. Many brands use high levels of artificial sweeteners which cause bad indigestion, gas and bloating. 7. Must use a blend of proteins to cover all 22 amino acids. If you see soy protein as the only protein source put it back on the shelf. 8. Kids must like the taste. 9. Athletes must be able to perform for the three hours following shake consumption either playing a sport or while training in the weight room. 10. It must come in a variety of at least three flavors in case you get tired of always having the same taste. 11. Must not contain more than about 6-7 grams of sugar. Be careful if the label says no sugar as they are probably loading you up with a double dose of artificial sweetener. Yuck! 12. You constantly look forward to taking the shake without ever getting tired of it. It must past the test of time. 13. It must not contain any hydrogenated oils, fractionated oils or trans fats. Instead look for a blend rich in mono-unsaturated fats. 14. Must contain digestive enzymes and at least 5 grams of soluble and insoluble fibers. 15. Must cut your sugar cravings and help you lose weight. Many brands, especially the high sugar ones cause you to crave sugar. Be careful. 16. Must come in both a individual packet as well as a multi-serving tub for convenience. Especially when you are on the road a lot. 17. Must have been on the market for a while to make sure there are no surprises. 18. Must contain a variety of vitamins and minerals while being rich in the key antioxidants. 19. It must blend up with a few ice cubes in a blender and come out tasting like a delicious smoothie. 20. Finally, it should not cost you an arm and a leg for each serving. If you are wondering if I found a shake that lives up to all of the above...as I mentioned previously the answer is yes. It has been a main stay to the NutriPowers product line for several years now. I highly recommend you pick up a tub or two and try it for yourself for 30 days. What do you have to lose except maybe some stubborn body fat you wish would disappear. I have witness hundreds of people across the country experience amazing results just by taking this shake instead of breakfast and again right before going to bed. Give it a try. You will be happy you did. Want to take a closer look for yourself?
