I recently (27/9/26) purchased and tried The Collagen Co Glow Shake Chocolate Milkshake formula and am extremely disappointed. The texture is horrible. It becomes incredibly gluggy and slimy, with a consistency that actually looks and feels like slime, it slides off the spoon like oil. It is so unpleasant that I could barely bring myself to… Read more
swallow it, let alone enjoy it. I have already “reached out” / emailed you regarding this issue and attached both photos and a video for reference, but I am yet to receive a response. I have also since read other reviews describing very similar issues with the texture, which makes me question whether this feedback is actually being listened to or taken seriously. This is not an inexpensive product. At $69.99 for a tin, customers should reasonably expect a product that is pleasant and easy to consume. In today's cost-of-living environment, $69.99 is a significant amount of money, it is roughly half a tank of fuel, so having to throw an entire tin away because the product is virtually undrinkable is extremely disappointing. I followed the instructions on the tin exactly and used a proper shaker to ensure the product was thoroughly mixed, so this is not an issue with how I prepared it. The texture remained thick, gluggy and slimy despite doing everything as instructed. Your suggestions in other reviews of using more water or ice etc. is nullified when the directions on your packaging state how to properly prepare it. One shouldn’t have to water down even more or add something else to it to make it what it should actually be. Given the price of the product, I also think it would be reasonable to offer sample sachets or smaller trial quantities so customers can try the product before committing to an expensive full-sized tin. Not everyone will tolerate or enjoy the texture, and currently there is a significant risk of customers spending $70 on a product they simply cannot consume. If you genuinely stand behind your product, I would expect you to take this feedback seriously and provide a reasonable resolution, including consideration of a refund given the circumstances. Unfortunately, the lack of response to my original email has only added to my frustration. At this stage, I cannot & wouldn’t recommend this product based on my experience. The texture is extremely unpleasant, particularly for a product that is marketed as something enjoyable to incorporate into your daily routine. Please do better when it comes to both the product and listening to your customers' feedback.
Bought my first tin of Glow Shake -Vanilla Flavour. Mixed it first with Almond milk. Delicious but a bit too heavy. So have been using cold water. Mixes wonderfully and tastes great. Usually shakes taste bit bland if mixed with water, so pleasantly surprised. Do not find it too sweet and I usually do not eat anything sweet except berries and a… Read more · 1
little bit of 95% dark chocolate. Have since bought further two tins when they were on special. I have ME/ CFS and find it difficult to to find the energy to make BF so these shakes are great for that . Keep me satisfied and no cravings in between meals. Also find I have a bit more energy which is good. Only downside is the price, I do not work,due to my health so this is a big layout for me. If they lasted longer it would be better. Came beautifully boxed .I was wondering if it came without the fancy packaging maybe they could be cheaper. I know the ones I purchased from a Chemist were just the tins and much cheaper.
Still too early to tell if I have lost any weight. Hard for people with ME/ CFS. I already eat a nutrient dense healthy diet with no processed food. I know my nails are mush stronger and not breaking easily as before. I would have given the product 5 stars if a little bit cheaper.
I have been drinking these shakes for only 1 week now, and even though it’s too early to physically see the difference I must say the taste is amazing and not cluggy or ill textured at all. Goes down really smoothe! I only drink it with water too, and adding a few ice cubes makes it colder for longer. Keeps me full throughout the day which is… Read more · 1
perfect for my on the go job, and the price is realistic also. Some may say it’s expensive, but when you think about it this can last you weeks and you pay the same price as you would if going out for a nice dinner for ONE night. Love this brand and can’t wait to see what it brings with consistency! Xx
Best shakes I've had, but pricey! I have tried many flavours now, and am particularly partial to banana and choc mint. The texture took a couple of days to get used to, but now I love it. I blend with water and ice and find it nice and filling, and not grainy like other equivalents on the market. Side effects - none whatsoever! Edited to add… Read more · 1
(many months later) - I have stopped having these shakes because they contain erythritol, which studies have suggested is a very problematic sweetener. These shakes are also NOT suitable for vegetarians, containing bovine collagen. Collagen Co are open about this, but I feel it's something that many folks may miss.
I don't mind the actual flavour but the texture is awful. Slimy and gloopy. I've tried with more/less water, with iceblocks, without... but still horrible. I'm keeping on trying it, but at the moment I can hardly bear to pour myself another one, as the thought makes me feel sick.
Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time… Read more
The Glow Shakes are really creamy and filling with a side bonus of losing weight. I loved the idea of getting Collagen into my diet regimen for added nourishment for my hair and joints, as I'm not very flexible. I don't really care whether it helps in these areas, I've only been on them for 10 days, because I've finally found a meal replacement… Read more · 1
that is thick and creamy by using only water. I also tried the Strawberry Kiwi Super Beauty Greens. I have not found any "greens" in the past that tasted nice, and I wasn't expecting to like this one either. To my surprise it is really nice, sweet with no horrible aftertaste. I've finally found a shake that I can enjoy and look forward to replacing my meals with. I love the Violet Crumble and Salted Caramel, the Vanilla is great as you can add things to it to make it different, though I'm happy just having it just in water.
Unpleasant texture and bland flavour – I have never tried collagen based meal replacement shakes before, but I did not like the texture nor flavour. Tried vanilla and it lacked substance and depth of flavour. On the plus side, they are not super sweet, but the glupy almost slimey texture is hard to get used to. I have to add a half scoop of a differnt brand, great tasting whey based… Read more
vanilla protein powder to make it drinkable. I haven't been using long enough to notice any improvement in skin, hair etc, but initial taste test not great. Will persist as I got 3 large bags to get through.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts! We… Read more
Glowing! – Absolutely love the Violet crumble glow shakes! I feel confident getting in so much protein with each serve and I’ve noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit after just 2 weeks! Show reply
I am obsessed with these shakes, best flavour and best quality! I feel awesome :) – I have been taking the Collagen Co Glow Shakes for over a year now. At first I took them to loose some weight and I lost around 6kg in a couple of months, it was fantastic. Then I kept on taking them because they are so delicious and keep bringing out the best new flavours! I am obsessed with Violet Crumble and now the new Salted Caramel. I love… Read more · 1
the convenience of bringing them to work for lunch, super easy. I just add water and shake. I will continue to buy these 100%, I couldn't recommend them enough.
Hi there, I’m truly sorry to hear how unpleasant… Read more
