Perfect Meal Replacement Shakes for Weight Loss

 

3. Orgain Organic Meal Replacement Shakes

If you’re looking for an all-organic meal replacement shake, look no further than Orgain. All four flavors—creamy chocolate fudge, sweet vanilla bean, strawberries and cream, and iced café mocha—pack 16 grams of grass-fed whey protein powder. This drink is also a little more substantial than some of the other meal replacements on this list, offering 250 calories. But 250 calories still don’t constitute a whole meal, so be sure to pair it with something extra (like the suggestion below) to help keep you satiated until your next real meal.

What reviewers say: “I love Orgain. I recommend it to everyone. I use the shakes as a meal replacement on busy days, and the protein drinks as nutritional supplements to keep up my protein levels. My elderly father has thrived since Orgain has become a staple of his breakfast meals,” one Amazon customer says.

Make it a meal: Supplement this sweet drink with about 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt topped with 1/2 cup raspberries for an additional 105 calories, 10 grams protein, 2 grams fat, and 4 grams fiber.

4. Labrada Whey Protein Meal Replacement Shakes

This meal replacement shake is relatively low in calories at 280 calories per drink, and it also boasts 40 g of protein and 5 g of fiber, making it one of the most filling choices on this list. It also has 0 g sugar and is lactose-free, making it an excellent pick for people who are sensitive to dairy or who steer clear of added sugars.

While many high-protein drinks don’t have the best flavor, reviewers regularly mention the better-than-expected taste.

What reviewers say: “With 40 g of protein and 0 g sugar, I wasn’t expecting much from this. Wow was I wrong! The cookies & cream is delicious!” says one Amazon customer.

Make it a meal: Snack on some celery sticks (30 calories) with a tablespoon of almond butter (98 calories).
