Very impressed – I've been using the variety pack i like having all the different there all really good but banana is my favourite but vanilla comes close. I'm very impressed with these shakes and bars I will definitely keep using them. Show details · 1
Spoiled food tastes better than these shakes – Where you start. I was so excited to receive my lady shakes, that all turned to despair when I had the first sip of the most disgusting, thick unpleasant tasting shake. As others have stated, the flavour is vile. Words cannot describe how gross it tastes. I added extra water to try and make it more palatable as the thick consistency made me want… Read more
to vomit. Whilst easier to get down, the taste is so bad that I had to stop. I didn't know something so gross would even be allowed to be sold. I have tried many other shakes which taste delicious, but not this one. If you buy LadyShakes, be prepared they are really hard to drink due to the sheer disgustingness of them.
MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT!!!! I literally wrote out a whole spiel about this but decided to cut it down and remove some details (I know this review is still long busy trust me, it was much longer). Do NOT buy the lady shake. I'll list the pro (yes, not plural) and cons. TLS pro: it mixes well compared to competitor brands I've tried (not as lumpy… Read more
and gritty compared to other brands). That's it. There's no other positives.
TLS: everything else is bad. Seriously. NOT losing any weight, expensive (I go into detail below), crazy sweet and misleading packaging. I explain the reasons for my cons below.
The 840g bags/packs say contradictory things, aka it's misleading. Date I even say false advertisement (I do say it). I was initially sceptical whether TLS would actually help me lose any weight. Nope! I've only literally GAINED WEIGHT and I've been eating healthily. I go for long walks each day and go to the gym almost everyday.
"No artificial sweeteners"... Yeah, right. And pigs can fly. It's sweeter than chocolate, sweeter than all the berries and IT'S SWEETER THAN HONEY!!! Super crazy artificially sweet. I can taste it. I know if a TLS rep sees my review, they'll just parrot "taste is subjective". Your other competitors aren't as sweet tasting, only TLS is sweet, other brands I've tried aren't sweet. I've told family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances about the false advertisement and the disgustingly super sweet taste. NO amount of regular milk, oat and almond milk gets rid of the crazy sweetness. It leaves a bad aftertaste and feeling in your mouth. I read the review below that says to add psyllium husk, do I literally bought it because of that review: you need to drink it immediately. SH absorbs all the liquid and the shake becomes a thick globby, sludgey blob. Just add more water? No, the same thing happens no matter how much water you add (I add a LOT more than the recommended 350ml), it will absorb all the liquid. I'm really annoyed at the misleading advertisement. Why? Because...
I did the stupidest thing and bought an ungodly amount of the lady shake. I'm dumb, I bought them before even trying 1 shake. I didn't think they'd be so terrible and crazy sweet.
I've been on the lady shake for 4 weeks and haven't lost any weight. To reiterate, I've only GAINED weight, despite having 2 TLS a day and a small portion sized healthy dinner. I should've off spent the hundreds of dollars I wasted on TLS and joined a gym. Unfortunately I don't have time to go to a gym but I joined one recently as TLS doesn't work for me and I'm not going to lose any weight using TLS...at all, so I have to do it the old fashioned way.
There are some reviews that also complain about the taste. Next time I'm buying the competitor brand. It's much more expensive but at least I know they won't have false and misleading advertising. Also noticed others complaining about not losing weight with TLS after using it for a week or two. That's my experience as well. Don't know why it apparently works for others and doesn't work for me and others.
Don't think TLS accepts refunds/returns for unopened still sealed packs/bags but if they did, I don't even have a shipping box big enough to return them all.... Because I was dumb and bought waaaay too many. Lost a customer. I ordered banana, vanilla and chocolate and they're all sickeningly sweet. Yuk. Ewww. Wasted like $700. Omg...I know, I know, I'm stupid. That's $700 wasted. Extremely expensive lesson learnt. I also visit a dietitian regularly and even they said to only have 1 shake a day and overall, these meal replacement shakes are a bad idea as a whole because of how your body and stomach works.
I contacted TLS customer service and they're apparently doing an "investigation". Might update review when their investigation has finished and see if there's an outcome/resolution. But so far they've given me the whole spiel about how it's not really misleading as it says on the bag/pack. Right now, I can't recommend buying TLS in good faith. I recommend buying another brand.

Good weight loss first week – I started replacing 2 meals per day. One gym session this week. I have lost 2kgs over first 5 days - so far so good. I mix with 750 ml. Taste is ok first 2 days I was hungry but ok now. Show details
Most versatile flavor – I have tried all TLS flavors and will always have banana on the shelf. Love having ban/choc shake with a touch of peanut butter!! The banana protein pancakes are sensational the entire family love them. Show details · 1
Great taste filling – I purchased the chocmint flavor first & I was not crazy on the taste so I add banana to it. I bought the variety pack, best thing I did , I love love the banana flavor. I am not a fan of the strawberry either but I drank it..i love the idea of the variety pack I wish it had coffee flavor so i could try it maybe I could buy a single serve ?. I am… Read more
happy with this product overall the flavors are a matter of taste try them all I say.. Great product for me the banana is a clear winner it satisfies my hunger & the added bonus is it has healthy gut probiotics & fiber. Check it out on ytube decision I made.
Already starting to feel good.::Update – I bought the 'full package' containing Chocolate, Stawberry,Banana as well as the range of bars. It's only been a few days but I'm really confident of success , it tastes great. 7 days and I lost 2.5kg ....yep 7 days with no effort at, amazing.....I was never hungry and my sugar cravings disappeared completely overnight. I even had 1 cheat meal within that 7 days and I still lost the 2.5kg. Show details · 5

Border line life changing – After reading so many negative comments on here I almost didn’t give them a go, but I’m so glad I did. I have tired all the flavours and I obviously have my favourites, but non of them are undrinkable. I’ve just finished my 5th week and have lost 6.2kg. I get they won’t be for everyone but it’s the easiest “diet” I have done. In five weeks I’ve… Read more · 1
only had one little bump ( toast for lunch one day). I feel happy and satisfied. I have more motivation and just feel better all round ( even dance around the kitchen when I cook). From my experience I would 100% recommend.
4 weeks now on the lady shake – First tried the lady shake with water and didn’t like it, which was bad news as I had purchased 4 packets. I then tried it with unsweetened Almond milk and found this ok. I started with a shake at breakfast and then had one for lunch and then my main meal in the evening but sometimes I’m too full to drink the second shake at lunch time and I leave it out. I’ve lost 3kilos so far and just want to lose a few more to fit into a dress. Show details
Support Shake – In the past I tried loosing weight by cutting things put it wasn't successful. The Lady Shake is very supportive I've been on it a month today and lost a considerable amount almost a size 14 again. I've had vanilla now onto banana. Iam very happy. It's easy tasty and filling!!

Tastes so bad, I could not go on – I actually purchased the mixed box. Made it through five sachets of different flavours. Each almost made me gag. I kept hoping the next one would be better. Nasty metallic artificial taste. On the plus side I didn’t feel hungry, and I lost 500gms in two days. But I could not carry on. Life is too short to feel sick at each meal time. Looks like it’s back to the gym and a better diet

Revolting product, can’t return even unopened products – Awful product, don’t do it. Terrible customer service, they won’t accept any returns of unopened products or refund for their vile tasting shakes that are so gross you can barely keep it down (I tried their coffee and banana shakes). Bitterly disappointing and I regret ever trying to support this business. They’ve taught me an expensive hard lesson. Show details

Can’t deal with the over sweetness (stevia) just dreadful – The taste for me is dreadful won’t buy again. The stevia sweetness is too overbearing, won’t buy or recommend. Aldi prices to be the best.
Horrible taste – I ordered a bundle of these shakes and was horrified at the terrible chemical taste. I did use all of them in different flavours, but would never buy again. Show details
Horrible experience – Purchased the multi-flavour pack. Banana & caramel were the only bearable but (in my opinion) all had an unpleasant, sickly-sweet taste. After the 2 shakes for breakfast and lunch I found I was so hungry by dinner time that I ate double the size of my normal meal. The absolute worst part, however, is the severe constipation. Still really… Read more
struggling with it and bloated/in pain 3 days after finishing (and the last 3 sachets I threw out!). I often suffer with constipation but this is a whole new level and the worst I’ve ever experienced. My advice is, (if you can handle the shakes’ taste) definitely add extra fibre to them. Has been a pretty terrible experience overall for me. My husband also tried the Man Shake at the same time and had a similarly bad experience.
Very unusual consistency – The flavour of these shakes are okay, somewhat artificial and a little overwhelming at times however, the texture is really odd. The only way I can describe it is metamucil with insufficient water, VERY thick and distasteful. Not worth the price, I much rather Isowhey. Show details

Lady Shake after three days – I bought a pack of 20 from Woolworths which had two of a number of flavours. So far, I have tried Vanilla - V Good, Strawberry - not bad, Banana - excellent (which is surprising because while I like Bananas, I don't generally like banana flavoured things). I am only replacing my usual breakfast of 2 slices sourdough at this stage with a shake. … Read more
I still have a large almond milk coffee each morning too. I thought I would try that for a week and then if it sits okay with me, try replacing lunch too. Then I will just have a normal dinner and some snacks if necessary. I also add slightly more water, like 50ml more after mixing, to remove the "gelatinous" texture to the mix, and so I don't have to suck it out of the shaker! I'm liking it so far. My bloating has subsided a little (probably due to not eating the sourdough!). I have about 15 kgs to lose, so we will see! I also do no exercise... but will hopefully start some walking soon.
The most disgusting thing I’ve tasted – Stupidly I bought an assortment pack of 14 shakes before trying them, all enthusiast about beginning my weight loss journey. Well after one gulp of it I honestly thought I was going to be sick!! The overwhelming taste after the first sip was artificial sweetener which is absolutely disgusting! I don’t know how this company can sell this as palatable. I will be throwing the rest in the bin! Show details
The banana Lady Shake – Iv just started the banana lady shake and so far I love the taste,I added half of a banana and 1& a half small cups water put it in my blender,Perfect for me so far,let’s see how much weight I loose as I’m 65 kilos at the moment,yet to try the other flavours, Show details

First shake I've ever tried and I love it – After hearing others rave about the Lady Shake I decided to try it. On week days I have the shake for breakfast followed by a small lunch and something light for dinner. The biggest benefit for me is no more afternoon fade. I guess like most people I would start to get tired around 1pm and it would get progressively worse until about 6pm when I… Read more
would no longer be fit for human company. Prior to the shake I'd try eating a banana or some yummy cashews but nothing seemed to work. I've tried all the flavours except Birthday Cake as I never been fond of cakes but who knows, I might give it a try. Another benefit for someone with a euphemistically titled 'slow metabolism', a quicker metabolism therefore my cashew/prunes/oranges/beer days are over. Who am I kidding? I love oranges!!!
Im liking Lady Shakes – I’m liking Lady Shakes, I’m having one shake in the middle of the day and am amazed at how easy they are to digest. I’ve discovered that if I’m not 100% liking a flavour that I can add a bit of instant coffee and it’s more palatable. I’m losing weight very slowly but surely which I’m pleased about. Someone wrote a review saying that people leaving… Read more
positive reviews aren’t being honest……but I’m here to tell you I am being 100% honest! I love not being hungry during the afternoon, which is stopping me from 'picking' the wrong foods just to feel full. I’ve given a friend a few individual shakes to try and hope she likes them as much as I do.
OMG - this is gag worthy AVOID – If you like that lingering taste of artificial sweetener these are for you. They all leave you with that awful taste in your mouth. So far the only one that is almost drinkable is Vanilla (Choc mint, banana, coffee - all yuck) Goes slimey and gross quickly. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. Worst product I've ever tried for weight loss. I'm going to gag down the 14 I bought - because $55 doesn't come easy. AVOID Show details

Blended cardboard mush! – Horrible taste. You guys should be ashamed of your buisness model. fake positive reviews. Continue on this path of horrible flavours and bad practice and the word will get around until you no longer have buisness but knowing you guys, you'll probably just change the brand name and remarket it.

Delicious – Delicious. I have to say I’m confused by some of the the other reviewers as these are some of the better protein shakes on the market. I started with the sample pack and went on to buy the 4 for 3 packs because I liked them so much. Best way to enjoy would be blended with the required water and some ice cubes. I’m sure you could also add fruit to them for a fruit smoothie. Will definitely be a regular customer. Show details
Life made easier – Decided to do this to support my husband and I have found it really easy to use. Some flavours better than others, not a fan of caramel at all. Banana and Choc mint the best. Like the bars as well. Have lost over 20 kilos and feel great. Husband is also doing fairly well on this. Problem is now having to spend money on new clothes and I hate shopping!! Show details
Don't waste your money – It's not so much about the flavours. The Lady Shake is just one big chemical sh*tstorm, it's not healthy for your body AT ALL. No product with chemicals is. There is nothing nutritious about this product. It's just good marketing. You're better off with Whey Protein Isolate, I recommend Bulk Nutrients. Show details

dissappointed – Ive used meal replacements for over 10 years and I'm not impressed with The LadyShake.

I also bought the strawberry flavour but I haven't ovened it yet and I'm going to return… Read more
it for a refund. I hate stevia, it makes me gag, and I've no experience of THAUMATIN (from Africa) 'sweetener', which is not primarily a sweetener but claims to have also flavour enhancing properties, not I must say in my opinion. I have found The Lady Shake is mucose making and that's not pleasant or helpful for someone lactose intolerant. Incidentally my choice of cane sugar sweetening is Stevia, and I've tried all the others on the market. Honestly I would advise anyone considering trying the Lady Shake, while I'm sure it's weight loss claims may be valid, think carefully, if you are used to full flavoured shakes and are accostomed to sweetening any of your foods think about going without sugar for say a while before you do try it.

it's the same vitamins and calories as the one U get from Aldi and the Aldi one tastes better. What they lack in sugar calories they make up in calories in other ingredients. Put the sugar back and loose the thickness and you might have a better product as it's like drinking cement.
