Nutribuddy Meal Replacement Shakes

Like many people, I’ve struggled with my weight since my early twenties. I’ve never been “enormous”, but I have felt like I’m always going on a diet and watching what I eat in order to try to bring my weight down. So when I was asked to give the Nutribuddy Meal Replacement Shakes a try, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

I think I do have a fairly decent understanding of what’s involved in a healthy diet and what kind of foods I should be eating. But for some reason, I always struggle to actually put that into practice. I’m one of those people who needs structure and routine, and a helping hand to achieve a long term healthy diet. That’s something I’ve come to understand and accept over the last few years.

What’s inside?

Many of us take a great deal of care about what goes into our bodies these days, and that’s the way it should be! Nutribuddy really stands out from the crowd as it’s vegan and cruelty-free – two features that are so important! I also love the amount of thought that’s gone into the packaging, Nutribuddy have taken great care to make sure their packaging is friendly towards the environment, I really love the glass jar for storage and the glass mug for the HotSlim!

The actual products have also been created with a great deal of thought and close attention to detail. The shakes are made from 100% natural products without the addition of any chemicals or other nasties.

The taste

I tried out the Vanilla and Strawberry flavours, and I really enjoyed both flavours. One thing I will point out is that the shakes did end up with “bits” in them, even when I tried to use a hand blender to make them completely smooth. I got over this pretty quickly as they do taste great, but if you prefer a smooth milkshake then this is something to bear in mind.

The results

I’ve just finished a two week trial using Nutribuddy as a meal replacement. Most days, I replaced two meals and had a healthy tea, but I’ll admit I didn’t stick to this every single day!

Over the two weeks, I’ve lost 6lb which I’m really, really pleased with.

But the best bit for me has been seeing my resting heart rate drop.

I’ve had a pretty high heart rate throughout my adult life, and it’s something that really plays on my mind. Even when I follow a healthy eating plan and exercise regularly, I really struggle to keep my heart rate down. I’m really pleased by how much this dropped in the space of one week, and the only thing I’d done differently was to have the Nutribuddy shakes, so I can only put it down to them.

Hunger

One of my main concerns about any meal replacement shakes is that I’m going to feel hungry. I can honestly say that I never felt hungry once throughout the two week trial. This really surprised me! I’d have a shake for breakfast, a banana at around 10:30, another shake for dinner, another piece of fruit mid afternoon and then my evening meal. I felt full every single day which is pretty amazing!

All in all I really enjoyed trialling the Nutribuddy meal replacement shakes and I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking to kickstart a healthier lifestyle.
