When should I use a meal replacement shake?
Meal replacement shakes are best used when you need a quick, balanced option but don’t have time for a full meal.
They’re handy for:
- Busy mornings when you’re rushing out the door
- Work or travel days where healthy food isn’t easily available
- Post-training recovery if you also want carbs, fats, and micronutrients (not just protein)
- Calorie control when managing weight, as they’re portion-controlled and nutrient-dense
To truly replace a meal, look for shakes that provide a balanced mix of protein, carbs, healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.
