I have a costumed event coming up in about 2 months, and to lose those last few pounds, (because I just have to show up the 20 year olds) I am going on a no alcohol and no sweets really low calorie diet. I really want to look better this year. I decided to try these meal replacement shakes so I could lose even more weight then when I count calories and stop drinking normally. The ingredients seem legit and in line with my diet, unlike most other diet drinks that are simply chocolate flavored clever combinations of the top 3 GMOs, cottonseed oil and aspartame.
Amino Acid Omega Balanced Natural Meal Replacement Ingredients:
Coconut Milk Powder, Chia Seeds, Sprouted Mung Beans,
Sprouted Chickpeas, Organic Spirulina, Organic Chlorella, Sprouted Black
Beans, Organic Vegetarian Nutritional Yeast, Sprouted Green Peas,
Organic Purple Dulse, Organic Kelp, Organic Spinach, Organic Amaranth,
Organic Alfalfa Leaf, Organic Barley Grass, Organic Wheat Grass, Organic
Rose Hips, Sprouted Millet, Organic Beet Root, Organic Orange Peel,
Organic Winter Cherry Root, Organic White Asparagus Root, Organic
Dandelion Leaf, Organic Lemon Peel, Wildcrafted Papaya Leaf, Organic
Horsetail, Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder, Organic Wheat Grass Juice
Powder, Organic Cardamon, Organic Cinnamon
I tried the first glass just with water and stirred it with a spoon, and I ended up with a large, really gross tasting clump at the bottom when I was done. The drink itself was not great, but completely tolerable.The second glass I had I stirred 2 tablespoons with one cup of milk and one cup of water and threw it in the blender. It was MUCH better. There was a bit of a foamy island of unmixed drink at the top, but it wasn't so bad.
The best part was, it actually made me feel full for about 3-4 hours,at only 155 calories(with milk added)! It must be the coconut milk, or the fact it has poop-loads of nutrients in it. I'm going to bring a jar to work so I can continue there as well. We'll see how it goes.
