SlimFast Vitality shakes in three great flavours: Salted Caramel Infusion, Chocolate Intensity and Raspberry Crush. High in fibre and protein, and with no added sugar they can replace a meal as part of the SlimFast plan.Â
Modern lifestyles don’t make maintaining our weight at a level which we’re happy easy. Long hours spent sitting at a desk, high levels of stress, and frequently not having enough time to cook don’t help matters. For those who feel that they would benefit from losing a few pounds, one of the ways to go about this is to make use of SlimFast products.
The SlimFast Vitality range of shakes have no added sugar, are high in fibre and have 26g of protein in each helping, to help you feel full and not suffer from hunger pangs. They’re packed with 26 vitamins and minerals as well. At 265 calories a serving they are a reasonable portion for anyone on a weight loss diet.
The shakes are part of the complete SlimFast plan, based around a three-step process. First, choose three snacks: either something like SlimFast noodles, or fruit or vegetables. Then, two meals – normally breakfast and lunch – are replaced by SlimFast Vitality shakes, or other SlimFast bars or meals. Finally, once a day, you cook and enjoy a sensible 600 kCal (800 kCal for men) meal. The final requirements are to drink enough water, and take some exercise every day.
The plan does remove all requirement to count calories or points, so simplifying the process of losing weight.
The Vitality shakes are available in three different flavours: Raspberry Crush, Chocolate Intensity, and Salted Caramel Infusion. Preparation is simple: three scoops (the measuring scoop is supplied in the packet) to 250ml of skimmed milk. Mix together – 10 seconds in the blender is perfect it really could not be easier – and your meal replacement shake is ready. SlimFast suggest trying adding some extras to the shakes – frozen berries to the raspberry, coffee to the salt caramel or almonds to the chocolate.
We liked the fact that the shakes don’t have any added sugar and are gloriously thick. As well as avoiding a sugar high, followed by a near immediate blood sugar crash, they don’t taste too sweet. We find that re-training our palate away from sweet foods is one of the best things we can do to maintain our desired weight. By finding a low sugar, slow release carb snack satisfying, we find it easier to control our diet and weight. SlimFast Vitality is £14.99 for 10 portions.

Finding healthy shakes that actually taste good is so hard these days! I’m definitely gonna have to try these

These look nice actually! I haven’t tried a weight loss plan like this before but I believe they are great for a quick fix x
Helen
It is a good meal replacement plan, and with no point or calorie counting, it is easy to maintain.

Slim Fast seem to be offering more and more items to help people who want to loose some weight, I remember trying the shakes once and not being a fan but that was many years ago, so I think I will have to give the range another go.
Helen
I think Slimfast have improved so much you’d find a vast difference with past experience.
Nayna Kanabar
Slim fast I have many friends who drink these shakes, I have not tried them myself but the flavours look tempting .
Helen
They were all very pleasant.
Vicky
I’m not an advocate for meal replacements at all being an intuitive eater however with their vitamin and protein content these would be great for people who normally skip breakfast to have on the go.

I think that with all eating plans, you need to follow the guidelines, and make sure you’re getting the correct nutrition all round.
Lilinha
I have tried the salted caramel shake and it is so delicious. It tastes like dessert! :)
Helen
You can’t go wrong with salted caramel flavour.
CHARLOTTE EVANS
these sounds really good, I used to do slimfast when I was younger and it definitely has changed since then! :) xx
Helen
I feel Slimfast have certainly improved for the better over time.
hannah
I’m not a shake person so i don’t think i would like these. They do look good for people who do like shakes
Helen
I was impressed with how nice they were Hannah, but shakes aren’t for everyone.
Ana De- Jesus
It is great that the shakes can help you feel fuller for longer and still be healthy. They sound fab x
Helen
A good part of a healthy eating plan.
Rhian Westbury
I’ve tried a few shake things like this and while I have lost weight, I did find I put it back on as soon as I stopped doing it x
Helen
The key to keeping weight off is to continue your eaing plan, alongside exercise. We’re all allowed time off though.
Yaya
I haven’t used Slim Fast in such a long time, and honestly, I suppose I didn’t use them but just try the shakes. Sometimes companies do revamp their formulas and they end up being liked the second time around.
Helen
These formulas are certainly tasty, so may be worth trying if you wanted to try the plan.
Jenni
These actually sound quite nice. I remember years ago when I tried Slimfast and I found the shakes disgusting. I had to pinch my nose and chug them down! The Salted Caramel one sounds good
Helen
The flavours are really rather tasty.
Mel
I hadn’t realised Slimfast did these Vitality shakes – might have to try the Salted Caramel Infusion!
Helen
Can’t go wrong with salted caramel.
munchies and munchkins
Ummmm salted caramel infusion? Ok I will try that one please. I’m not trying to lose weight right now but could you use these as a protein shake I wonder?
Helen
The shakes are designed to give a balanced nutritional meal replacement, they will differ to protein shakes, but could be used in place of a meal.
francesca
Its great that there is no added sugar, a rarity these days!! I’m not so into very thick drinks myself but these do look pretty good!!
Helen
It is good to not have lots of hidden sugars, an all too common mistake to make with some shakes and drinks.
Natasha Mairs
I am trying to lose a bit of weight and I have started taking these shakes, but not tried the vitality ones. They look really nice
Helen
Certainly worth trying Natasha, the flavours are very nice.
Louise Smith
I have to be honest and say I’ve never really fancied trying anything from Slimfast before. These shakes look absolutely delicious though. Maybe it’s time to give in and give them a go :)

Helen
I feel as long as you’re following a healthy eating plan, along with exercise, the Slimfast shakes can be a very useful way of helping to lose weight.
Dannii
Salted caramel is everywhere at the moment. I bet that flavour of the shakes will be popular.
Helen
Very true Dannii, it is a very welcome flavour.
Steph Gill
I tried slimfast years ago and didn’t get on to well with it, however it looks like it has massively improved! May have to give it another go!
Helen
I certainly feel as if these Vitality shakes are worth trying.
