Is it filling? I'm looking for a shake that will keep me satisfied and stave off gravings to eat

We drink a smoothie containing this protein powder at about 9 am every morning. I add half a banana and some frozen fruit and blend it up in our Vitamix blender. It holds us until lunch.

Hi Elizabeth, if I'm only going to have a smoothie as a meal, then I normally blend in lots of frozen fruits and mix with juice. At other times, I add vegetables. It's very filling.

I also like to mix the shake with some chia seeds and hemp for extra protein and fiber. Extremely filling and nutritious.

Since it provides a wide range of nutrition in a single serving, it likely would be a good meal substitute. So, in that way, it might aid in an overall weight loss plan. I will also add that the canister I received appeared to have gone bad (it smelled very funky and didn't taste good), so I wasn't able to test the product fully.

It's not necessary, but I would recommend it. It makes u feel full for a longer period of time. And its great for post workouts. .

I don't notice the taste that much, but I'm pretty good about stomaching health food. I currently put it my shakes. I put one scoop of Garden of Life powder, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, a handful of frozen berries, and pina colada flavored fish oil. It still tastes healthy and green, but it's pretty good.

Hi Dawn,I ordered this & if your looking for a appetite suppressant I would not recommend this at all. I felt it was a real wast of money for what it was suppose to do. I did however enjoy the ViSalus shakes along with my husband. We notice after using it for 8 / 9 months it stopped working for us so we stopped using it for a weight lost control. I feel that your body gets use to it & if you use it for 6 months & change it up then go back it might work better. K. Manz

Yes. It will complement your drink greatly. It will improve the taste and give you necessary fiber.

not in my stores yet either, D. Jones. It DOES make you feel full and curves hunger amazingly. Get it from Amazon, I get boxes every month from them. Try one first from them and I can promise you, you will love it. It gives energy with its protein and tastes great with or without adding fruit. Good luck but Amazon is your best bet.

Never tried it, but I assume so, it's got such a light flavor that it wouldn't turn a shake into nasty mush and has a complete protein profile so it wouldn't throw that off if it is a concern.

yes it is. i love this stuff and lost 32 lbs in 2011 and have not gained it back. now i have a shake for breakfast 2 or 3 days a week. I EAT "SENSIBLY" THE OTHER 2 MEALS. VERY LIGHT FOR THE EVENING MEAL.

I used it to replace breakfast, but i'm not a huge breakfast eater. Also took with a fruit for lunch when I was in a hurry. As a weight loss tool this shake is better than others because it has a lot less calories. (compared to the ones I've tried at least.) Also... it tastes better :)

what do you mean by fillers? Garcinia Cambogia is a great diet pill if you are looking something that won't just help you loose wait but also gives you more energy.Now it did make me and my mother n law pee a lot and I found that I wasn't as hungry and the energy that I found I had was great. My mother n law said that it gave her a great deal of energy too. I hope this helps with your question on this product. It's really a great product to take.

I think it would work well. It has fewer calories than other brands I've used. If you're lifting have a shake right before bed and add one scoop to a breakfast smoothie for a protein bump. Studies show higher protein intake leads to weight loss because it keeps you full longer and it's crucial for healing.

I have completely substituted 1 of these shakes for lunch every day. I suppose you have to be disciplined to do this. In addition to saving me the cost of daily lunch, they are able to take the edge off. After a while you get used to having 1 shake and you don't desire the normal lunch anymore. I have lost 8 pounds so far doing this and it seems to work for me...it is the easiest path of least resistance. I'm male, 55 active but not as much as I used to be...I still want to take off a few more pounds...not sure if I will have to do anything more focused like head back to the gym.

I have read that also. I was very careful to pick a product that did not contain calcium. After I read your comment, I looked on the bottle again. I was unable to find calcium any where. Mine is the same as shown.I haven't had much luck with it. In the comment section, it helps some people and not others. One comment said to be sure and take it on an enpty stomach, at least one half hour before eating. I'll make sure that's how I take it, from now on. So far and I've taken quite a few, all it does is make me ravenous.

I found a meal replacement drink called fitmiss at walgreens. This about the same indgredients at vemma, but only cost $25.00. It comes in either vanilla or chocolate, and it doest have a gritty taste either..i would try that

I use this product in my morning smoothie. It very filling and I am so full I usually eat a small lunch. My piggy out has definetly slowed down.

It is somewhat chalky, just like most proteins, if you want a yummy shake you either have to go to Wendy's or put some additives in. It isn't gritty at all. The texture depends on what you make it with; ex. milk-smoothest, water-runnier.
