Nutri Advanced UltraMeal High Protein Meal Replacement Nutritional Powder - Dairy Free & Low GI - Vanilla Flavour, 630g

I enjoy a good meal replacement shake or smoothie so was keen to give this a try, especially as it is vanilla flavoured, which is my favourite flavour for this kind of thing. Unlike most of the ones I have this one is dairy free, so that was a change, and I was fine with it.- Really liked the vanilla flavour. It wasn't over powering or artificial.- I liked the sweetness as it wasn't over the top.- Mixed with water really well.- It is dairy free, which is good for lactose intolerant people or anyone like me who is just cutting back on dairy.- Has a low glycaemic index- Includes essential minerals and vitamins- Roughly 15g of protein per serving.- Low in calories at about 150 calories per serving, which can be a good thing if you'r counting the calories, but might not fill you if you're bulking up.I really like it. I don't think I will use it as an actual meal replacement, but more of a post work-out snack or if I get hungry between meals and want to avoid unhealthy snacks.

It has been wonderful in helping me stabilize my blood sugars.

Has a nice vanilla taste and mixes well with water. Contains a large number of nutrients and is low in calories. My only issue is it has about 15g of sugar for every 45g serving, which is a third of the entire thing which is quite high for me.

I havent actually tried a meal replacement before, I am more looking for less complex foods to try and thin out my diet a bit. I generally find food quite complicated, gym wise I struggle to stay on the right food path too. The Nutri Advanced ultra meal is more of a replacement, but its the dairy free and low gi aspect that i am curious about.The pack provided is enough for 16 meals, comes in vanilla and mixes fairly well. It does benefit from cold water for taste reasons, but thorough mixing makes it much more tasty. it can feel a bit powdery if you dont mix it properly, but tastes nice, not too sweet. I prefer less sweet anyway.It contains a lot of for your daily meal replacement in terms or vitamin and mineral replacements, everything from A-D so it covers quite a bit, carbs it has around 20g per meal so thats not bad. I like the dairy free aspect, suitable for people with intolerance or possibly stomach issues, so should sit a bit better for meal times too, Diabetics generally also benefit from low gi meals where possible, (less sugar and slow carbs etc), so its a useful thing to try. It also contains around 15g of protein per meal too, so its helpful if you are going into the gym.Pros: Dairy free, low carb, low gi, lots of vitamin supplement per meal, vanilla flavor, easy to make.Cons: Must be mixed properly, otherwise can be powdery, 16 servings based on 2 scoops.

I don't like it for multiple reasons. For starters, it does not taste very nice and has a lot of sediment which grinds on your teeth. I mixed it well with a coil shaker but could not get rid of that. The sugar content in this is very high so would not classify that as healthy. Effectively it is soy protein with lots of fructose and a bunch of additives. I do realise this is marketed as a meal replacement... perhaps if it tasted better it would be more pasable.

As an Amazon Vine reviewer who has tested this meal replacement shake, I found it to be a helpful tool for weight management, particularly as a lunchtime meal substitute. The shake mixes easily, creating a smooth texture without lumps, which significantly enhances the drinking experience. Its formulation provides essential vitamins and minerals, helping to maintain nutritional balance while reducing calorie intake.However, I noticed that while it helps with calorie control, it may not fully satisfy hunger for everyone. The vanilla flavor is pleasant and not overly sweet, making it palatable for regular consumption. The powder's versatility allows for mixing with various liquids or adding to other foods, increasing its usability.The high cost per serving (over £2) is a notable drawback, potentially making it less accessible for long-term use. Additionally, at only 150 calories per serving, it may be too low in calories to serve as a complete meal replacement for some individuals.Overall, while effective for controlled calorie intake and nutrient supplementation, this shake works best as part of a balanced diet plan rather than a standalone meal replacement. Its high price and low calorie content suggest it might be more suitable as an occasional supplement or for short-term use under proper nutritional guidance.Cop

Nutri Advanced have a bit of a weird one here. It is advertised as a meal replacement, but isn't really designed as one!On the plus side, the nutritional information isn't bad - 45% carbs (more on this below), 35% protein, and 3% fats. There is also 154 calories per serving (more on this below too).The protein is soy protein isolate, which has a very distinctive taste. I'm fine with it, but just beware it does taste...soy'y. The vanila flavour is mild, which is great if you're drinking a lot as it isn't overpowering.As a meal replacement, 154 calories is nowhere near enough however. You'd need nearly 20 servings a day to hit your macros, and a tub has 14 servings, meaning you'd need the whole thing for a days nutrition if you decided to do so.The main carb is fructose, which whilst low GI is far from ideal when compared to something like oats, which are slightly higher (but still considered low GI) but are also filling, which fructose isn't.The value also isn't that good compared to some other meal replacements. At £34.15 for only 14 servings, you're looking at £2.44 per serving, which isn't cheap considering it only has 154 calories per go.Overall, not terrible by any means, but not the best value, a strange choice of ingredients, and not really enough calories to count as a meal.
