5 Colleen  · Vanilla isowhey shake – Vanilla isowhey Mixed with 200ml cold water and lots of ice as well and blitzed together. It is the best milkshake - I love it
2 Alan z.  · Long delivery time – Good product but be prepared to wait two weeks for delivery within Australia.
1 sheryl  · Still hungry at 9am – I was hungry within an hour. Banana not a nice flavour. Didn't finish the tin. What a waste of money

  Salted Caramel

I'm currently on my second batch of meal replacement shakes. My first was the Salted Caramel flavor from Chemist Warehouse, which I actually found to taste slightly better than the Vanilla both are on the low side of sweetness but doesn't make my insulin spike so i don't feel the need to eat afterwards. I began this journey at 75 kg and… Read more

maintained a daily calorie intake of 1,200. I’ve been having two shakes per day — one in the morning and one at lunch.

Within the first month, I lost 5 kg and have since lost an additional kilogram. I'm aiming to lose another 5 kg over the next month if I stay consistent.

I haven’t incorporated exercise so far; I’ve focused on keeping my calorie intake low and drinking around 2 liters of water daily. The shakes tend to make me thirsty, but they do a great job of keeping me full

There was no taste of the Chocolate flavouring; mixture taste like 'dishwater' that is it tastes yuck, not pleasant at all. I am not impressed by any aspect of this product. Actually it has no taste at all. Even water is more pleasant to drink. Want to know if I can return product of a full refund. I have no wish to drink any more of it. I… Read more

costed a lot of money especially when one is totally dependent on the government aged pension. I might as well drink Milo or Ovaltine.

I would not recommend this product to anyone unless you have lost your taste buds altogether. Then I suppose you would be considered as being alive.

BEWARE Foreign Object inside Container! Poor Quality!! – I purchased the chocolate flavour from Chemist Warehouse Online, it took 1 week to finally arrive. (Slowest online purchase experience - that's another story). When it did arrive a large white chunk of plastic was inside the powder. I have no idea what it is!!! Contacted both Chemistware House and IsoWhey...3 weeks on I am still stuck with my… Read more

contaminated container - completely useless! A replacement still hasn't arrived, between the two companies they cannot work out decent customer service. I would have expected a refund and express shipped replacement for wasting my time.

Buy another brand like I did. Don't waste your time!

  Madagascan Vanilla

A great product that needs to be tweaked a little – This is a great product. I've only been using it for a little over 2 weeks, I've lost a couple of kilos and I'm feeling so much better. It does need some tweaking to be enjoyable though. First of all, it's awful mixed with water so you might want to give that a big miss. It needs to be mixed with milk and although I'm not a fan of unsweetened… Read more

almond milk, it is (in my opinion) the best milk to use with Isowhey. As an added bonus almond milk is creamy and very low in calories. Secondly, using one of those plastic hand mixers is a waste of time - it will give you thin, watery results. You're going to need a blender, but you don't need to spend a fortune on one. Something like the George Foreman Mix And Go will do the job nicely. Thirdly, adding some fruit, ice and other flavourings really improves the taste. Madagascan Vanilla is my personal favourite. It's delicious with frozen banana, ice cubes and some cinnamon, or some frozen mango chunks with a small splash of coconut essence. The Ivory Coast chocolate is nice with frozen banana and ice cubes, or just ice and a splash of coconut essence (it tastes a bit like a Bounty chocolate). Frozen banana or mango in the Strawberry Smoothie flavour is nice as is frozen banana and ice in the Banana Smoothie flavour. Really, it's up to the individual - just choose what fruit you like and whiz it all up. So if you're not a fan and you feel you've wasted your money on this product why not give these suggestions a go? I guarantee your shake will be creamy and delicious (and you might even like it!).

I don’t know exactly how it works but I don’t care! – I’ve just started Isowhey, 10 days in and have lost 2.8kg. Goal is 68-72kg so only a minimum of 3.2kg to go. I’m still in my first tub, strawberry and it is delicious, tastes exactly like a strawberry Oak milk. Besides replacing my breakfast which was usually around 11am, I haven’t made any other changes and have been to an all you can eat Pizza… Read more

Hut, had Spaghetti for dinner and even had Chinese takeout and still lost weight.

I’ve never tried a diet anything before and don’t think I’ll try anything other than isowhey as it works so well for me. I bought the first tub on a whim as it was half price from Chemist Warehouse, they have it on special again so I’m off to buy the Coffee flavour.

One side effect I have is feeling very thirsty. I am someone who has always struggeled to drink enough even with trying but since I started Isowhey, my mouth is so dry that I had to drink! I’ve read it’s a side effect of ketones. While this issue might be a problem for some, especially those with heart conditions, it was a welcome to me because now I know I’m drinking enough water too.

1 week in – So far I am on my first tub of chocolate Isowhey. It is a little bitter, but not so much that it isn't enjoyable. Very thin consistency. I put the milk in first and then add the powder and shake it up in my shaker. I have my shake with milk, 2 times a day at breakfast and lunch. I have a protein bar and banana as my snacks thoughout the day and… Read more

I just eat whatever we have bought to make for dinner.

On the weekends I'm a little more relaxed about what I eat.

Not sure if I've lost any weight yet as my boyfriend took my scales away from me ages ago when I became dangerously obsessive about my weight. I'm not going to weigh myself until I see physical differences. But I'm only a week in so I'm not expecting results straight away.

I have a lot of trouble sticking things out so to be a week in isquite an achievement for me. I tried lite n easy meals and stuck to it for 2 weeks. I've tried other meal replacement shakes but was always hungry. Surprisingly I don't often feel ovely hungry outside of meal times. Just snackish occasionally.

On the whole, so far so good.

Just Like a Chocolate Milkshake – These are the best tasting meal replacement shakes on the market - and trust me, I have tried them ALL. The chocolate flavour tastes like actual chocolate. Just like a milkshake, and doesn't have that collagen boney taste that so many other meal replacements have. I am so happy to have found this product. It's going to make staying on track too easy! Show details

A Nice Surprise – It's March 2023 and I only bought this yesterday and started it today, so I don't have weight loss stats to give you. But I'm very hopeful as people I know who have used it had great success with shedding the kilos. The coffee taste is very nice, like an iced coffee without the cream and ice cream and I'm happy I can mix it with milk and not… Read more

water. A word of advice, though. It has some issues with completely dissolving in cold milk alone. Mix the powder with a little boiling water first to make a runny paste before you add milk. Then add the cold milk a little at a time, shaking in between. Do that a few times and then add the rest of milk, shaking well and it will dissolve completely. Looking forward to trying the other flavours once I'm done with the coffee flavour.

Not for all diabetics – Tastes good. Unfortunately it still spikes my sugar lvls. I started at 12mmols at breakfast and ended up at 16mmols. Mind you it was with full cream milk. Took 4 hrs to come back to base lvl. Show details

No customer support and communication with the client properly – I bought 30 can of isowhey powder milk and they sent them again in 30 day without my knowledge and wished. No confirmation online email. I end up with 60 can of milk in 30 day. I have to paid postage if I want to sent them back. I have very bad experiences with them. All they said you make a mistake to have to accept it. Show details

  Ivory Coast Chocolate

For the price and size good value – Not very sweet and not very chocolate-y I've tasted some most popular like Musashi and whey gold and vital protein powders. I also have used bulk nutrients and Australian brand and owned that is excellent range for all dietary needs but can be quite high priced. So in between I wanted to try something new/different. Great price. If you dont want… Read more

very sweet then this is for you. I will say all the minerals and ingredients are quite good and worthy of me to keep taking. So although i find it quite bland for a chocolate the minerals and ingredients is worth it. I might throw in some regular chocolate powder to add more to its flavour.. Update : after a few weeks I really like it. if you want it a little thicker make it one scoop and a half in the 200ml ( I use milk never water) this makes it thicker and nicer. the probiotics are good. I do feel a lot fuller for hours after. I take it in morning with my coffee. I generally work out with weights and yoga as a lifestyle and have noticed some weight loss with this for sure. I do recommend it.

Sickly Sweet With Stevia – UNBEARABLE SWEETNESS. Why are they still using Stevia when we have products like MONK Fruit which are so much more like sugar. I wish I checked the ingredients, it says Low Sugar, well Stevia is not even sugar. I expected it to taste like the collagen shakes as they do have real sugar. I expected low sugar as it states on the packet. Show details

Absolutely revolting – I got a free sachet of the Banana flavour from my local chemist as a giveaway trial product. It smelt great and I mixed it with water and a few ice cubes in my blender.

Disappointed – I ordered a box of IsoWhey Optimum VLACD Strawberries & cream online. A week later I emailed them inquiring about if it had been dispatched or not. They responded within a day sending it out. When it arrived I noticed the best before date was within 2 months, after that the quality of the product does start to decline. If I was made aware of this… Read more

before buying it, I would of purchased the single packets instead as I cannot consume it within that time frame. I tried to reach out to them about this , but still have not received a response yet. Feeling disappointed.

My favourite meal replacement shakes – These are my favourite meal replacement shakes on the market.

The taste is terrible – I have never tried this brand protein before, so thought I would try the banana flavor first. The smell was pretty good so I had high hopes. I have had a lot of whey protein shakes before and this is by far the worst I have tasted. I mix mine with Water and ice in a blender and it tasted very bland and a very off taste. Show details

Best on the market – Onto our 4th container, have tried coffee, strawberry and vanilla. Sticking with vanilla as it goes best with my morning coffee (I buy vanilla satchel coffee) but the strawberry goes best in a fruit smoothie. The people saying it tastes bad, probably just mixed with milk alone and tried nothing else. I I haven't lost as much weight as I want to.… Read more

I seem to lose a kilo or 2 then put it back on because I get bored of drinking it everyday and go off it for a bit.

Nonetheless, I'm happy with this product as I feel healthier on it and it's easy to prepare on my way to work. I also found it to be the lowest sugar one on the market with highest protein which to me makes it one of the, if not the healthiest, option for meal replacement on the market.

Is this a new formulation? – I have really enjoyed several flavours incl coffee, chocolate and my favourite banana over several years. I recently bought another canister and the taste is terrible. New scoops and new horrid taste. What have they done? Such a waste of my money as there is no way I can drink it. Why, why, why?? Show details

Plesantly surprised! – I am using this bar as an afternoon snack and I found it much nicer than expected. You can see some dried berries and whole seeds in the bar, and overall it has a nice texture and just enough sweetness to stop any cravings for anything sweeter. Recommend as worth a try with an afternoon cup of tea. Show details

Not the worst thing Ive had, and it works – Ive been drinking the banana and the coffee flavour, once or twice a day for a month. Im down about 7kg. These are much less sweet that other brands which suits me as I hate that overly sweet fake sugar taste. Having these with skim milk for one or two meals a day and I havent felt hungry much at all. Show details

Best decision I made. I have just finished my first container of… Read more

Madagascan Vanilla. On its own it does not have much taste and has a watered down milk consistancy. I add half a banana to thicken add vanilla, or salted caramel even chocolates essences with Almond milk and a sprinke of cinnamon. Put in a blender. Yumm. If your lactose intolerant and love dairy, this is affordable, helps with digestion, fills you up and pleasing to the pallette.

very good – I have the chocolate and enjoyed the taste as it's not strong or overly sweet, it is not that thick so i have an apple with it as my breakfast. At my local chemist there are sample packets you can buy to try the flavors which is handy however the caramel was not there and i would really like to sample that before committing to a whole tub.

A great low sugar meal replacement – I love the classic coffee flavour, just like a morning coffee. I really like that Isowhey has hardly any sugar and low in carbs. Nothing artificial at all - sweetened with xylitol. And as someone with a gluten intolerance, Isowhey is gluten free :-) I use 2 serves per shake (which only comes to about 218 calories) and some raspberries. So yummy!… Read more

And the Madagascan Vanilla is great as a base, and add flavours to. I'm using Isowhey to drop fat slowly.....
