Advantages: No preparaion needed Disadvantages: Pretty tasteless, bottles too large, too many additives, not enough fruit
...a 'special offer' on some Slim Fast Real Fruit Smoothies. Tesco were claiming that they normally retail for £1.29 each but they were on offer of three for two. Not one to let a bargain pass me by, I swiftly placed three of them in my trolley.
I wasn't able to read the (vast) list of ingredients before I bought them, as unfortunately, I didn't have my glasses with me at the time. No matter, I was sure that they would be fine and contain no nasty ... ...much better for you. None of those nasty additives and preservatives. I will continue to look for the 'miracle diet food' that will rid me of my spare tyre and bulging bottom, and in the meantime, I won't be buying any more of Slim Fast Real Fruit Smoothies. ...

Advantages: It really does fill you up!! I felt full after nine hours Disadvantages: Limited range that's not suitable for all!!
...I was never really a slim fast fan until one of my friends convinced me to go ahead and try this one. When I saw these Slim fast smoothies advertised in my local boots store on a 3 for 2 offer at £2.15 in total, it was an promotional offer I could not refuse. ~Pre-amble~
Before I move on to the smoothies themselves, let me tell you abit about them. They are one of the latest meal replacement drinks as part of Slim Fast weight loss programme. They ... ...time.

...call for drastic measures and slim fast fruit smoothie is certainly drastic. I already knew I didn't rave over the other meal replacement drinks but I hadn't tried this one so thought I would give it a go.
What is it? Well the smoothie is a meal replacement which explains why it has so many added vitamins, minerals and protein .
This is very widely available at supermarkets, chemists etc. It comes in a choice of Forest Fruits, Peach & Mango or ... ...meal planner showing how various slim fast foods/meals can make your healthy low cal day.

Advantages: Convienience and easy avaliability Disadvantages: slight metallic after taste
Slim fast real fruit smoothies are one of the newer additions to the slim fast range of products. They are intended as a meal replacement to be used as part of the "slim fast plan". The slim fast plan allows you two of their meal replacement products a day, plus a sensible meal of 600 calories and a few small snacks of 100 calories each. Slim fast products contain added vitamins, minerals and protein to ensure your body is getting all it needs while ... ...trying other products in the slim fast range, I decided to give these a go. The packaging is bright and attractive, featuing lots of healthy looking pictures of fruit and the nutritional values and ingredients are easy to read. The single portion bottle is convienient and easy to open.
I found that these smoothies taste better than the milkshakes in the slim fast range. They are thick and fruity tasting, but they do leave a slight metallic after ...

Quick review of Slim Fast Real Fruit Smoothies
Slim fast smoothies - I have been using this product now since April 08 and its now September 08. I have lost 3 and a half stone since the start and am wholly satisfied with the job they claim to do. Having tried every diet under the sun over the past thirty years, this has come as a breath of fresh air and is proving successful as I am not yet tired of them and am as motiviated now as I was on day one! Slim Fast please distribute them more widely as my only problem with them is getting them!
The woman in the previous review clearly wasn't all that motivated to lose weight as this product is just great! ...

Advantages: Easy and tasty Disadvantages: Not always satisfying
I think this is a useful product in a weight loss plan, but with only in particular circumstances. I did not find it a satisfying meal substitute if I had significant time to sit down and relax for lunch: in such cases I found myself wanting more, even though it is reasonably filling. However, on days where I was busy at work, and I didn't have long to break or I ate as I carried on working, I found this to be a really good product. It is quite tasty ... ...quite refreshing so particularly good on a warm day. I recommend this for those busy days when you don't have much time to think about enjoying lunch. On days when you want to sit down with a friend over a leisurely lunch avoid this product and put more thought into a balanced meal, or you may find yourself reaching for additional snacks. ...

Advantages: Keeps you full, puts you off appetite, contains important vitamins Disadvantages: Not recommended if you prefer savoury food / drink
I've started to try Slim Fast Smoothies, because I am constantly on a diet and now I've come across this product, so decided to give it a try. I think it tastes quite nice considering the amount of calories it contains. The ones I drink only have 204 calories and it keeps my stomach full for about three hours and in the meantime I don't feel like eating anything at all. It seems like it puts me off appetite. Even though it doesn't contain a lot of ... ...person needs each day and that is also one of the reasons why I decided to try this, because I diet unhealthily so I'm missing out a lot of vitamins and nutrients, so drinking this herlps me replace what my body needs.
I actually drink one a day and it replaces my evening dinner and it usually keeps me full until I go to bed. ...
