Let me start by saying this post was created in connection with my appointment as a SlimFast Ambassador. I received the products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
The box included:
A bottle of Slim Fast Strawberries 'N Cream Shake, a cute martini glass that says "Get What You Really Want - SlimFast," and recipe cards.
One side of the recipe cards has a cocktail recipe and the other has a mocktail recipe.
Obviously I went for the cocktail!

The bottle says that it controls hunger for 4 hours, contains 10g protein, and 5g fiber. Pretty sweet deal! As long as it tastes good...

Review:
Its not as good as a full blown cocktail. Obviously. But it is pretty darn good, actually. I love me some pineapple, so I might be partial. (I added extra.)
I am a complete lightweight when it comes to alcohol, so I can't say how strong it is. It felt strong to me, but I think everything is strong!
I didn't eat until 4 hours later, and I was STARVING! But I did have a couple hours before I got hungry. I felt like it was about the same as having a greek yogurt for a snack. Would be good to help when you're at a party with snacks you're trying not to eat.
One problem that I foresaw is that these shakes are meant to be a meal replacement, but I could easily see having way too many cocktails! There's 180 calories and 6 grams of fat in a bottle (which makes two-three glasses worth). So if you plan to be drinking all night, these won't be any better for you than drinking cocktails.

Yum! I will definitely be trying this, thanks Danielle!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! I may be trying this too!
ReplyDeleteI like all the flavor choices (chocolate!), and how it feels like it's a pretty healthy option.
ReplyDeleteGreat Review! I could see where a person could get carried away and forget the purpose of the drink and start making a lot of cocktails because it tastes so good. :)
