Herbalife Nutrition Shake Recipe Reviews: Mixing It Up For Consumers

How do you make nutritional shakes taste good? I mean, really taste good? A frequently asked question among health fanatics, it is no secret that drinking nutrition shakes every day can get a little tiresome. This is not the shake’s fault – eating or drinking the same of anything every day can get tiresome. After all, if it weren’t tedious to eat the same thing over and over again, why wouldn’t we just eat the things we needed to survive without giving way to the temptation of an empty-calorie Canadian treat?

It is in human nature to seek out variety in our diets. We evolved to taste (and crave) different flavors, and it is one of many traits that separate us from other animals. Unfortunately, evolutionary traits did not consider the modern diet, leading to the rise of nutritionally linked diseases like high cholesterol and heart disease. Humans evolved to crave sweet, salty, and fatty foods because foods with these tastes typically provided a lot of energy. Think fatty meats, nuts, and berries – foods full of vitamins, antioxidants, natural sugars, and calories.

The modern lifestyle is much different than the survival-based days of the past. Today, even the most active humans are barely as active as Neolithic hunters and gatherers. Most of us must strive to meet the weekly recommended exercise amount, but we still crave the foods that sustained our ancestors. Companies like Herbalife Nutrition have tried to address this modern food dilemma with protein shakes like Formula 1. But what many top-of-the-line nutritional shake companies fail to keep in mind is that evolutionarily, humans do not want to taste the same flavors or feel the same textures in their mouth every day. If we did, we would likely eat the same foods every day, which wouldn’t be good for our health. So, Herbalife Nutrition created their Protein Baked Goods Mix with Formula 1 to revolutionize the way modern humans intake healthy protein.

The Benefits Of Protein

Even though Americans intake more meat than almost any country globally, many American adults still are not getting the protein they need for their bodies to thrive. Registered dietician Susan Bowerman refers to this as being “overfed but undernourished.” Studies show that nearly half of adult Americans are not getting sufficient amounts of protein primarily because they do not intake enough healthful, plant-based foods – many of which also contain protein. Think peas, beans, and nuts as well as eggs, fish, and poultry. Not getting enough protein in your diet can be more severe than it sounds, leading to muscle breakdown, cravings for sugary and carb-filled foods, changes in mood, fatigue, and thinning hair. 

Eating protein is essential to sustained health. However, getting enough protein in a way that satisfies evolutionarily-driven human cravings can be challenging. It can be tough for those leading an entirely plant-based diet, but too often those who eat meat also take protein for granted. Studies have shown that getting enough healthy protein is one of the most important parts of changing a person’s diet for the better. It gives you energy and focus, which can lead to better exercise and sleep habits. It helps your immune function, which can lead to fewer infections and sicknesses like the flu. Finally, it helps keep you fuller longer and stave off food cravings, which can help with nutrient intake and maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. 

Protein shakes have been a go-to for people with busy schedules in the past, but they are not for everyone. Shakes like Formula 1 contain the recommended amount of protein and several necessary vitamins and minerals. They can be easily modified to fit different dietary needs, as many protein shakes use plant-based proteins as their source. But, as mentioned above, early iterations of protein shakes were not always exciting or intuitive to use. Many mainstream shake offerings only add milk, which does not keep a person full for longer and doesn’t always taste appealing. Early Herbalife reviews helped the company narrow down their shake offerings to better fit with consumer needs, which has made their Formula 1 shake one of the most versatile on the market. 

Rethinking The Nature Of The Shake

Herbalife’s Formula 1 Shakes have some similar elements to traditional and competitor shakes. A single 8 oz. serving of Formula 1 mixed with non-fat milk has 21 vitamins & minerals and 25 grams of protein. However, unlike many animal-based protein sources, Formula 1 has no cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy protein choice. It also steers clear of trans fats, which can contribute to heart disease. Many leading brands of protein shakes are animal product-based, which is unappealing for vegans and vegetarians, and often unsuitable for those trying to watch their cholesterol intake.

Herbalife’s Formula 1 shake also contains 30% of the recommended daily intake of vitamins A, C, E and more than 25% of the recommended daily potassium intake. These vitamins are potent antioxidants, often found in fruits and vegetables, which can reduce the impact of free radicals within the body. Vitamin E has a significant impact on heart health. Potassium also helps maintain heart health by promoting healthy blood pressure. Getting these vitamins is essential, and drinking them in a daily smoothie is an easy way to do this daily.

All this information is well and good, but it does not make the idea of a powdered drink immediately appetizing for everyone. Despite most conventional shake companies having dozens of different shake flavors, consumers often get bored with them. Instead of increasing the number of flavors offered, they took a revolutionary approach: they took overpowering flavors away.

Formula 1 has mild to no flavor, so consumers can mix it into smoothies as they like. Anyone can have a different shake flavor every day and still get all the protein they need, along with several essential vitamins and minerals. Herbalife Nutrition has more than one website dedicated to different shake recipes and reviews, which mix different vegetables, fruits, spices, and plant-based proteins to “shake up” daily flavors.

 Herbalife’s Formula 1 Shakes can be beneficial for:

  • Tracking nutritional intake, including calories and vitamins.
  • Mixing up meal flavors from day today.
  • Ensuring you meet nutrient needs despite a busy lifestyle.

Herbalife refers to Formula 1 as a “blank canvas.” As well as being an excellent base for a protein-packed fruit or vegetable smoothie, it also acts as a base for other Herbalife Nutrition products, including Herbal Aloe. 

Mixing In Protein

Anyone who has been on a shake-based diet understands that even if the shakes taste delicious, it can be tedious to drink shakes every day. But it can also be tricky trying to get all the protein you need with an unmonitored conventional diet. Keeping that in mind and understanding that everyone craves a tasty baked good every once and a while, Herbalife Nutrition also created their Protein Baked Goods Mix.

 Herbalife Protein Baked Goods allow consumers to create delicious baked goods using Formula 1 shake mix and this specially-formulated baking mix. Free from added sugars and trans fats, the Protein Baked Goods Mix has 15 g of protein alone and 24 g of protein mixed with Formula 1. 

Additionally, the benefits of the Protein Baked Goods Mix include:

  • 5 g of fiber, which helps with digestion and fullness
  • No artificial sweeteners, but sweeteners that are suitable for diabetic needs
  • Ingredients that suit the vegetarian lifestyle
  • A combination of protein and fiber sustains energy throughout the day while satisfying hunger
  • 21 necessary vitamins and minerals which contribute to a healthy diet

Herbalife Nutrition launched their Protein Baked Goods Mix early in 2021. This is the first baked goods product the company has released. It fills a needed gap in the nutritional supplements market. Healthy alternatives to baked goods are popular among those interested in nutrition-packed whole foods. However, these alternatives are often much more time-intensive and costly to make, as they involve substituting elements of traditional baking with non-traditional items. The Herbalife Protein Baked Goods mix combines time-effectiveness with healthy baking, making enjoying a healthy treat easier than it has been. Additionally, the amount of protein it contains makes it an excellent alternative to many healthy baked good mixes, which often sub vegetables instead of flour. 

You can also add Herbalife MemoryArmor to your protein shakes as well. Protein is a necessary part of healthy dietary choices, regardless of a person’s dietary choices. It is what sustains energy, repairs muscle, and quells hunger cravings throughout the day. Modern lifestyles do not always make it convenient to follow protein-rich diets because protein-rich meals often require intense prep work. Meal replacement & protein shakes like Formula 1 have addressed the issues of time and nutrition but do not always address the issue of consumer flavor palettes. The innovative Herbalife Protein Baked Goods Mix addresses the issue that nutritional supplements often face – taste and variety. With innovations like these coming from nutritional supplement companies, the future of healthy diets looks bright.

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

The last 20 years with you have been my favorite years on this earth. ❤️ 

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds.

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
