Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Ketogenic Meal Balanced Shake Powder, Truly Grass Fed Butter & Whey Protein Plus Probiotics, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Paleo Replacement, Vanilla, 23.7 Oz

Excellent product … it has gotten too expensive.

Work's to fuel my day and enrichment of importance to carry healthy body's to higher management. If you feel drained during your day this is your life saver.

I am truly surprised at the taste. The vanilla is very good way more than I had expected. After I finish with the vanilla, I may try the chocolate, but I believe the vanilla is going to be my new fave. For me to be successful on my Keto journey, it has to taste good and it definitely is. It mixed very quickly and the texture is palatable.

I've been a fan of Garden of Life for quite a few years now, so when I saw they were making a keto meal replacement, I ordered it right away. The canister is pretty big, but since you need two full scoops per serving, there are only 14 servings total. I tend to prefer vanilla to chocolate, so that is what I ordered. If you've ever had dairy with a high butter fat content, that is what is tastes like with added “artificial” vanilla flavor. I know it’s not actually artificial, but unless you add the vanilla bean or vanilla extract yourself, it doesn’t taste the same. I agree with some other reviewers on here in that it doesn't blend well with liquid unless you use some type of electric mixer. However, since I take this to work, I typically use a blender ball. It'll mix pretty well, just make sure to shake it a lot when you initially make it and then shake it before you drink it (think martini shaking). I mix it with almond milk, which seems to work a lot better than water. Since it only has 14 servings and is very pricey, I've managed to extend each canister by supplementing one scoop with other ingredients (e.g. ground chia seeds, peanut butter powder, GoF Raw Protein & Greens, etc.) If you find the right mix of ingredients, you can keep the correct ratio of macros. My only complaint and the reason why I took away one star is that this product is really expensive. When Amazon first started selling it, you could get it for around $30. Now? The price varies between $46-$48. Even with subscribe and save, it's well over $40. While I like this product a lot compared to others I’ve tried, the price has lead me to checking out other brands for a more affordable option.

Love the flavors!! Chocolate is my favorite but my guy likes the vanilla so he can mix berries and other fresh fruit/vegetables. I use this as a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch. It leaves me feeling full, lots of energy, and zero hunger meltdowns. I eat a small dinner, lots of water. Lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks. I’ve incorporated bike riding this summer and the lbs are shedding. 20 lbs to go. This is by far the best meal replacement I’ve ever had and I’ve told others about this, and everyone agrees. Other protein shakes give me migraines and never feeling satisfied. This makes me feel full. My will power is in these keto replacement shakes. Love them. Just ordered three more. I recommend a shaker with ball to mix! Pricey, but if you do the math, it’s about $3.00 per meal. Unbeatable and worth it if wanting easy, no hassle, meal replacements. You will lose weight. Stay dedicated and teach that goal. This is the drink that’ll get you there! Do it!I want a coupon! Sincerely- your biggest fan!

The formula has changed. I am basically a fan of this product. But my most recent canister was different. One pro was that the powder was much easier to scoop and measure. The old powder was very light and fluffy and clumpy and wouldn’t really settle in the scoop. The new formula is more like sand and settles right in and levels off with a shake. That’s where the improvements end.It now foams up and incorporates way too much air by the time you have it blended. So it doesn’t fit in the same size glass at all. And then if you leave it to try to settle so that you don’t swallow so much air, after about a minute it has separated into a huge foamy part and a liquid part. It was always a little bit of this if you let it stand, for instance made it the night before to take the next day. But it was only a maybe half inch layer of foam on the top that could easily be shaken up back into it. Also if you don’t blend it enough there are a little crystal bits that chew up between your teeth. So blending it less is not really an option either. Very frustrating as I have eight shake containers that I take this to work in so that I have a clean one every day until the dishwasher fills up. Now the shake will no longer fit in these.It’s also just less creamy. The flavor is different very slightly but still good. I can tell a difference but I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe just slightly less chocolatey. The problem is that all in all it’s a less blendable product which is frustrating. Just for reference I think this is my 25th or so purchase of this product. So I have been using it for a while.

This is a really really great product and has been essential in my keto success.I have this nightly and add 1/4 avocado to it to make it even more filling since it’s a replacement meal. I have it two hours before bed (9pm) and am really not hungry until the next afternoon (1pm).Once you’ve gotten past keto flu and your carbohydrate withdrawal (take on more salt to reduce keto flu) and you begin the new keto lifestyle, this will really help. It’s rich and creamy, blends well (I mix the two flavors), and can really scratch your sweet treat craving - while still staying on track. It doesn’t taste artificially sweetened particularly after you grow accustomed to it.My wife uses their whey product as well, very well formulated. (I use the whey post-work out to ensure I’m burning stored fat).Garden of Life is a good line of high quality products. Recommend this wholeheartedly for you Keto journey.10/22 - 40 lbs down and going strong. I use this now as an occasional maintenance supplement.
