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.

It does seem to curb hunger. I have used it as a meal replacement, and if you mix it with milk it's pretty hearty. It's not Denny's Grand Slam breakfast, but it will get you by. The thing to keep in mind is that it's 100 calories in 8oz, or you can double it and get 200 calories in 16oz, which is pretty filling.

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.

Hello. I've just started using this and only drink it at breakfast. I've lost 15 lbs on my weight loss journey so far but one pound since I started taking this product. I'm not necessarily taking it for it to hep me lose weight. I just wanted a GOOD tasting protein/vitamin shake mix to drink in the morning to go along with my low calorie diet. It's truly yummy!

Protein is really only necessary when you donot have enough of protein intake.I use all herbalife products.there shakes are delicious and has a very great flavor..no nasty taste.very worth it. It makes you fuller also but no protein powder isnt really necessary unless you really need to boost your protein intake.but very great product

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

I would never replace a meal with any protein shake unless your on the go and need some fuel for your body. I would use this mostly as an after workout drink or in between meal snack.

I have never tried shakeout so I am not sure. I drink this because it's low in sugar and fat but high in protein and fiber

Not really, it's a mass gainer so you're looking at 1200-1600 calorie shakes. If you take it with milk it's not far from muscle milk, but if you take it with water it taste kind of like that yahoo chocolate drink. I would still order it if you're looking to gain mass. Nothing beats that price for that taste.

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. .

Yes, it is filling and does the job when a real meal isn't avaliable. I make it taste better by adding cinnamon and ginger.

I would say about 15-18 depending on how much you use. I use 2 large scoops, add 2 scoops of PB2 a banana and ice in a blender which makes 2 glasses of the shake (I drink both) and it keeps me full for at least 5 hours. Well worth it if you ask me. I hope this helped! =)

The product is not intended for weight loss as far as I know. I was advised by a nutritionist at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital (NYC) that you should not eat a meal and then drink down a container of Orgain. It is indeed intended as a meal replacement product. Also of interest for the Orgain products is that all of the flavors tend to form lumps sometimes. Shaking the stuff very vigorously (the packaging says shake well) does help dissolve the lumps.

Well I take this after my morning workout so it recharges me, plus I have no hunger til lunch. It has enough protein to suffice. I also use it as a snack in the afternoon before I head for something less desire able and it wards off that hunger. You can't beat the low calories.

I have to shake it thoroughly before using but I didn't find it lumpy or gross or cringe-inducing; your mileage may vary.

Fill you up? Well..if you drink this in the morning as a breakfast substitute, you WON'T be hungry all day long! After about a week you'll find you have lots of energy. Some days I have to be reminded to eat dinner. I like it, tastes great, use a blender to mix it (I use a personal blender) like the Hamilton Beach 51101BA Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black sold here on Amazon.
