Garden of Life Perfect Meal Milk Chocolate -- 658 g

Satisfying Meal Supplement. Effective and healthy weight management. Reduces hunger and helps manage food cravings. 19 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber. Perfect Meal™ is a delicious and satisfying high protein and fiber meal supplement that will help you successfully manage your weight by naturally curbing your appetite. Perfect Meal features Fibertrol™, our own special fiber blend that helps you feel full longer, reducing unnecessary food cravings that can lead to overeating during meals and overindulging on unhealthy snacks between meals. By eating less and decreasing your caloric intake, your weight management goals are within reach. Fibertrol, along with the Glycemic Balance Blend, helps maintain already healthy blood sugar metabolism for balanced energy levels and reduced food cravings. Fibertrol also contains nutrients that help maintain cholesterol levels already in the healthy range, including organic oat beta glucan to support a healthy heart. Perfect Meal provides a multi-faceted approach to healthy weight management:. Fibertrol and Native Whey Protein help you take control of your appetite so you consume fewer calories between meals. Glycemic Balance Blend and Fibertrol slow digestion of carbohydrates to help maintain already healthy blood sugar levels and glycemic response for balanced energy. Proprietary Probiotic Blend supports your digestive system to maximize the benefits of a healthy diet. Perfect Meal also delivers 19 grams of native whey protein, the preferred protein source of weight management. Native whey is from the milk of free-range, grass-fed cattle that graze on pesticide-free pastures. Unlike isolated whey proteins, their native whey is minimally processed to preserve more of the natural factors intact. Glycomacropeptide, naturally occuring in their native whey, has been studied for its impact on satiety-the feeling of fullness. Enjoy great-tasting Perfect Meal, along with a sensible diet and regular physical activity, as a meaningful solution to managing your weight.

"The best protein and meal replacement I have used. I use this with milk, and it is like a chocolate milkshake. Has protein, the good bacteria that yogurt has, nutrients, and it fills me up! I take it when I don't have time in the morning for breakfast, or am hungry at night when it is too late to prepare a big meal that would be too heavy for me at bedtime. THE BEST! Highly recommend it. The only one I use. GREAT value. Will always buy. Thanks."

"The chocolate is actually tasteless, so not bad and not good. The quality of the ingredients is great, I trust Garden of Life to put out a quality product, but don't expect it to taste very good. They really never do just mixed with water. Fruit or almond milk might improve the taste. I just slam it with water and a (taste free) scoop of L-glutamine. At least it's good for you!"

"Garden of Life makes high quality, organic, and healthy products. This meal replacement powder is very neutral to the palate and thus easy to make up your own recipes to suit your own taste. I use two scoops in 16ozs of raw goat milk and add frozen raspberries or other frozen fruits and drink for breakfast most mornings. It also stays with me until lunch time before I start feeling hungry again.....very satisfying. I have been using now for 6 months and find it to be the healthiest and best powder on the market since using these MRP's for over 15 years."

"Very filling shakes and because they are so nutritious, they give me the energy to go through my day with fewer calories. I mix Fruits of Life with both Chocolate and Vanilla flavors. Sometimes I add a little coconut oil too! Tastes great!"

"I have been following the 'Perfect Weight' diet using the Perfect Meal. Though it isn't the best tasting (kind of thick and chalky) it does suppress the appetite. I was hoping for a little more 'shake' taste, but I am satisfied as I have lost weight with this product. Actually, the vanilla flavor is the best."

"I have tried many meal replacements over the years, but had a problem with either sugar content or artificial sweeteners, which I try to avoid (they have that nasty after taste besides being unhealthy). Even sweetened with glucose and fructose isn't all that desirable.
This product not only tastes GREAT, but there is no after taste and no guilt of having consumed something harmful. The price is simply awesome, half of what it costs in the health food stores. Thank you for making a product such as this and many others available to us at a cost we can actually afford.
