Product Information

This one is also sold in powder form, which can be mixed with water, coffee, or plant-based milk. Note that the nutrition composition may change depending on the fluid you use to mix the shake. Moreover, it contains added electrolytes and 20 mg of caffeine for an energy boost.

With my nutritionist’s hat on, I can also confirm that the ingredients of the CollaSlim shakes give your body every nutrient, vitamin and mineral it needs. Plus, and this is a big plus, you are also getting a measure of collagen in every smoothie so you’re looking after your skin at the same time, as well as your joints, nails and hair! Two shakes a day will deliver all the collagen recommended by So Body Co for a wonderful skin. I’m sure you’re aware that 800 calorie plans are really popular at the moment for fast but healthy results so I’m glad to say that CollaSlim’s Fast, Simple 800 calorie Plan, makes it really easy. I only needed to count the calories of my one meal a day, the rest was done for me! It should be noted, however, that similar supplements will often use more than one such ingredient, meaning they will likely last and mix better, while being more drinkable. CollaSlim is produced by So Body Co and bills itself as “the first meal replacement shake with collagen protein”. They claim their low calorie shake can replace one or two meals per day, to support your diet, help you lose weight, and boost the quality of your hair, skin, and muscles. You can also take it slower and just replace one meal a day to maintain your weight if you don’t want to go the whole hog. I do this to maintain my happy “weight” as I love a smoothie for breakfast anyway.

Additionally, some of the GoMacro bars like the Protein Pleasure (peanut butter and chocolate chip) and the Everlasting Joy (coconut, almond Butter, and chocolate chips) are low FODMAP options. The idea is that you swap your regular meal for one of these once, twice or three times a day. The meals they send you are considerably lower in calories than the ones you would normally eat, which means you’ll be taking in less energy than you usually do and will in turn lose weight. The meal replacement bars were tasty and very filling. The salted caramel and chocolate fudge are probably the tastiest and if you’re going for vegan, then the dark chocolate and orange is nice.

Many of the research trials that have been done are small or are sponsored by companies that have a vested interest in them doing well. More recently collagen supplementation has been studied in greater detail and encouraging results are emerging. Because collagen is not just part of the scaffolding of skin but also joints and bones there is potential for more benefits. A large review study in 2019 showed more promising results and it seems that collagen peptides (hydrolysed collagen) have been shown to improve elasticity, hydration and wrinkling in some studies. We may need further research to create optimal dosing but essentially studies are suggesting that supplementation with collagen is safe. In the face of these supplements not having the desired effect, skincare expert Cherry Woods says our best option is to coax our skin into producing collagen naturally. This, as with so many things, starts with your diet. Moving on from the ingredients, the overall nutrition profile is an issue as well. With just 146 calories per serving or 206 when made with almond milk, it simply doesn’t contain enough calories to be used as a major part of your diet. Available flavors: coconut chocolate almond, peanut butter chocolate chip, chocolate fudge brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate mint, and vanilla almond crunchKey specs – Serving size: Varies; Calories per serving: Varies Protein per serving: Varies; Carbs per serving : Varies The SoBody Vitamin and Mineral Blend includes vitamins a, b6, b12, c, d3, e, k1, biotin, copper, calcium, folic acid, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, selenium, thiamine, and zinc. FOR many of us, this is the time of year we start thinking about weight loss. As we head towards Christmas we want to look our best for the (hopefully) many parties we find ourselves invited to.

By taking what we eat and drink in hand now, we have a head start – and the Exante Diet is one way to do this. It’s a healthy, balanced diet that provides the vitamins, minerals and fibre you need in a selection of meal replacements including, breakfasts, main meals, desserts, soups, shakes and bars.Aside from being convenient for when you just can’t enjoy a proper meal, meal replacement products offer multiple benefits. Ingredients: water, pea protein, cane sugar, sunflower oil, contains less than 0.5% of natural flavor, salt, dipotassium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, mixed tocopherols (to preserve freshness), sunflower lecithin, monk fruit extract, gellan gum, and guar gum The food itself is pretty rich in whey proteins and sweeteners which can cause stomach upset if you have a delicate gut, and the added sugars in some items do go against the idea of being healthy. Xanthan gum is included in the main ingredients but serves no nutritional purpose and is only included in supplements to boost their appearance, consistency, flavour, texture, and shelf life. Therefore, collagen peptide supplements might have a positive effect on your skin elasticity, helping with muscle mass and more.

Certain people also use meal replacement shakes when they are looking to build lean muscle. In this case, the shake won’t necessarily be very low in calories but will have a high amount of protein at a rough ratio of 1:1 with carbs. How many calories are in a meal replacement shake?The bars come in four flavours – chocolate, salted caramel, chocolate orange and coffee caramel – and each of them contains exactly 200 calories, making it very easy to add them to your daily total if you’re counting calories. While your body produces collagen naturally, it decreases with age: 75 to 80 per cent of our skin is made up of collagen and, from the age of 20, we lose around one percent of this each year. As a result, our skin loses its ‘elasticity’ as we get older. GoMacro bars land between 240 and 290 calories depending on the flavor and have about 11 grams of protein each.
