The shakes made me really ill. According to the company I was allergic to something in the shakes and mousses. I tried to enact the satisfaction guarantee and was told the warranty did not cover satisfaction once the product is opened. How you can try and be satisfied with a product you don't open is a conundrum I will never understand. I would… Read more
not recommend any of their products due to taste, texture and vomiting profusely. I suggest trying a single product and be very careful you are not allergic. I tried to work with the company and was ignored a long period of time. Paypal found in my favour in the end as Cranky Health did not respond in time. The customer service was disappointing and left a bad taste in my mouth along with the vomit.
I bought myself the coffee flavour and the choc berry bars (box of 10). I've only just started but I love the convenience. Swapping out two morning milk coffees for one shake, as yet I haven't developed any caffeine withdrawal headaches! I am excited to see how things change for me over the coming weeks. Show details · 1
Do not waste your money, taste like a cup of Diarrhea (not that I have had the pleasure) absolutely disgusting $44 down the drain - really bad aftertaste nothing like coffee, more like aniseed. My usual Optifast coffee was out of stock so I made the mistake of buying this - not sure how they actually sell it ongoing Show details

Five stars over here – Feeling inspired to add a review because I think that these deserve better than the 3.9 average rating. The Lady Shake variety pack is a great way to find your favourites, and the sachets are really handy when you’re out and about (work, weekends away etc). Being designed to be mixed in water makes the shakes very convenient. I also like that… Read more · 1
they’re fortified with a number of key nutrients. It really is a meal in a shaker. At the standard price, the cost per shake works out to be about $3.90. That may not be cheap, but neither is the meal you’re replacing nor the block of chocolate you’ve got in your trolley there. I usually buy these directly from the TLS website when they’re on special. Tastes obviously differ, but personally I enjoy the coffee, vanilla and banana flavours. Less keen on the chocolate and choc mint varieties, but that’s just me. The point is, there are so many different options, so most people should find a few that they like. Also, you’re not having them as a treat but for your health, right? If the shake is too thick, as some reviewers have commented, try adding extra water. It’s not rocket science. I’ve shed 15kg and am the lightest I’ve been for a long time - and that at age 57. I’ve been doing resistance training for years, but now you can actually see the muscle definition, and I fit into all my old size 10 clothes - and quite a few new ones, too. These shakes keep me full for much longer than others, and I’ve had noticeably fewer sweets cravings. I’ve just been replacing my lunch with a shake, and it’s been easy to stick to a high protein / lowish carb regimen otherwise. The success has been very motivating. I give these 5/5.
One of my favourites! – Have been on the program a while. Have lost 30kgs. I am so much healthier and happier. The shakes are fabulous and keep you full. A bit to go but I'll get there! Show details
Love it – Who would have thought I could lose weight on a shake, just love the coffee shake of a morning, add ice and cold water just like a thick shake for breakfast, love it Thankyou. Show details
Perfectly replaces my old morning coffee – I have tried coffee , chocolate , vanilla and strawberry . Strawberry was my least favorite . The shakes have exceeded my expectations . Haven't been able to lose weight until now ,thankyou for changing my life ! Show details · 1
Wow not expecting it but I Love it!!! – After reading reviews, I wasn't sure about ordering, I had to put my doubt aside, and ordered my starter pack, so when I received my pack, thought I'll try the coffee shake first and it taste delicious! and the white choc coconut bar it's now my favorite!! thank you Lady shake you won me over and will recommend your products anytime.

Have tried 3 so far… – Ok, so have done optifast and other shakes in the past, and decided to just buy a sample box to see if can re-kickstart my weight loss after falling off the wagon. Heard great things from people I know re the weight loss… should have asked about the flavour before buying lol ish. Yesterday tried my first one, Caramel (favourite flavour generally),… Read more
first impression was very thick and sweet, has a fake sweetness and a definite aftertaste of Stevia/fake sugar. Not a good start. This morning tried coffee, thinking how can they stuff up coffee lol?? Well this coffee was THE worst coffee “flavour “ I’ve ever had! Didn’t even really taste like coffee! I did add 3 ice blocks to the shake (which I have done with other shakes and it makes the shake not as thick), and it’s definitely better re thickness (I’m not a fan of thick shakes especially when gluggy thick). And finally right now I am trying vanilla, although I have added some instant coffee to it to make like a “cappuccino “ flavour…. I have to say that it’s better than the other two so far, although it is still very fake sweet. I will continue with banana, chocolate, strawberry and choc mint just to see if I can find one I can bear for the next month. Generally speaking, apparently it’s not good to stay on shakes for more than 12 weeks (not my opinion, the endocrinologist’s opinion).
Hi Elizabeth and thanks for your feedback.… Read more
Has kicked off my motivation – I've struggled for years with my weight. Tried so many weight loss programs. Got to a point I figured I'd just forever be overweight. Then I had a random conversation with a male acquaintance who had lost alot of weight on man shakes I went home inspired and thought maybe I should do lady shakes , its worth a try. I lost 3.3 kg in the first… Read more · 1
week and I've lost nearly 6 kg in a month. I've got 40kg to go to get to my long-term goal but lady shakes have inspired me and motivated me. I've been taking it seriously. Making better choices for main meals and snacks. I feel mentally strong and saying no to what I use to eat alot of hasn't been an issue. I'm not a fan of banana and strawberry flavour but I don't like those flavours in anything, not just the shakes. Coffee would be my favourite. Its like a quick coffee pick me up and my brekky all in one shake. I usually have a shake for brekky and 1 for lunch . Two of my friends started lady shakes same time by coincidence. None of us had pre discussed it. Its great having that support and encouragement. I'm inspired to stay on the shakes and see where this journey takes me. I feel like weightloss is possible and a realistic goal and I haven't felt that way for a long time.
Taste and Texture THE TRUTH – If you’re thinking about buying the lady shake (particularly for a breakfast substitute because you have no time to eat in the mornings) get the coffee flavour, it will satisfy your belly and your body PLUS for me personally it cut down on coffee cravings and I continue to save money on my almond milk dirty Chais. I am reading all these reviews… Read more · 1
about taste and texture of the Lady Shake. I experience this at first also, I only use one scoop per 300-350ML of water and it works just fine for me, find the texture that works for you. One scoop still makes me feel full and it makes the product lasts twice as long. Currently in isolation the lady shake is satisfying my ‘You’re not hungry you’re bored’ cravings.
Please don’t let the incorrect powder to water ratio discourage you. This product is absolutely wonderful and if you can combine expertise with it you’ll be UNSTOPPABLE! So make sure you use a metal ball in your shaker to break the powder up and use 1-1&1/2 scoops per 350-400ml. It’s a lot better !
I hope this changes some of your minds :)

Tastes great and works! In 6 months - replacing breaky and lunch with these shakes (coffee is my favourite) and enjoying a Lady Bar when I need an afternoon snack - I have lost 11kg. Even better, my doctor can't believe that my cholesterol has dropped from 7.3 to 5.7 without medication! I won't be stopping now and look forward to my results in… Read more · 1

I absolutely love this coffee shake! It’s the perfect pick me up in the morning. I have tried quite a few flavors and have to say I enjoy most of them but I do have my favourites. I have been on other branded shakes before but found them really watery and not satisfying enough. Lady shakes are thick and tasty plus they sustain you until your next… Read more · 1
meal. My husband is using man shakes too and he is really enjoying them. Well worth trying these out if you are looking for a tasty and convenient way to start your wellness journey.
Love this product – Love the Lady shake and the coffee one is absolutely my favourite. I sometimes mix it with caramel or chocolate and I love it. I drink it for a few years already and it helps me with weight loss. Show reply
Negative reviews
This shake is horrible. I’d give zero stars if I could – Horrible. It tastes like a blended weetbix. It is thick and disgusting. I had one taste and discarded the rest. What a waste of $40. I’m glad I didn’t get the 3+1 deal.
Hi There Thanks so much for leaving your honest… Read more
Awful. Never again – Disgusting taste. So full of Stevie and that's all you can taste. I've tried many others and they've been delicious but this was an absolute waste of money. Straight in the bin Show details
Don't believe the reviews – I would give 0 stars if I could. The consistency is disgusting, I would rather drink raw eggs than this. There is no way people writing these reviews are just having the recommended use (water and powder) - it is horrendous. Customer service is not helpful at all and if you (like me) believed the reviews so bought a big pack - you cannot return the UNOPENED items, despite being a right under consumer law. Biggest waste of money. Show details

Filling and effective – Only tried for the last 3 days. Replacing 2 meals. I love cold cold drinks so I have mixed the two scoops in cold water and added ice cubes then “blitzed” it. Yes it is thick and not particularly a great flavour BUT it is doing its job. I feel quite full and the only time I felt ill was when I had too large of a meal for dinner. Which in itself… Read more · 1
means I should eat less for my main meal and that is a good thing. I may add a spoonful of real coffee but I may not bother with other flavours. Blitzing means there are no grainy bits left. For those who complain of how thick it is I suggest making it really cold like me and think of it as a thickshake :-) bought at Priceline Port Lincoln can’t remember the price
Not bad had way worse – Like this flavour. Strange thing is don't drink coffee, don't care for it, but I enjoy this with a spoon of greens. Keep water in the fridge so that is cold feel it tastes better cold. Also you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more water and it does not dilute the flavour Show details · 1
Never give up! – It tastes great, and I’ve noticed that it helps my metabolism. My bowel movements have improved; it's no longer difficult to go to the toilet. I’m not sure about weight loss yet. I plan to give it some time, probably a month, and I’ll return with another review. To those who complain about the taste: if you want something delicious while trying to lose weight, maybe that’s where the problem lies. Show reply
Trialling the Lady Shake in desperation to reduce my weight for better health and fitness – Hi I’m 76 overweight with a BMI of 40, very low energy and recovering from three joint replacements in less than tow years due to severe arthritis. bought the 14 pack of lady shake to trial so far only tried four flavours . Coffee was the most authentic taste. I have to admit the shakes were very difficult to tolerate being too sweet , powdery,… Read more
and super gluggy with a weird taste . I read the reviews and followed some advice which was to mix it in more water than prescribed and leave in the fridge overnight. Still too gluggy so I added milk . Now I can get through one shake over a day mixed in 450 mls of half water and half milk. The result is that my hunger is reduced so that I have very small nutritious meals. My energy levels have increased so that I get more done each day . I look forward to weighing myself today a week after commencing my trial pack . Julie G

Unpalatable – Tried the coffee flavour which was so thick and bland that I couldn't even get through one shake. Unfortunately had purchased 4 bags for the price of 3 and there is no returns policy so money down the drain. Won't be trying the other three flavours and have returned to Optifast shakes which are tasty and make weight loss enjoyable. Show details

Foul Tasting and Hard to Drink – I was so excited to try this. I got the 14 pack. It’s got 2 of all the flavours to try. I mixed it well with water as instructed. So far I hate it. It’s over sweetened and absolutely foul to drink. I have to skull it back to get through it. I am not used to the sweetness as I do t use sugar in any of my drinks yuck it’s got that stevia aftertaste.… Read more
My friends have asked how it’s going, I said it’s foul there’s better tasting weight management shakes out there. I think we are just buying the concept and packaging with this one. If you look at the ingredients and how much of everything that’s in it how’s it different from any other weight management shake??? There’s no difference.
way too sweet – The coffee flavour is so sweet it tastes like a coffee with 4-5 sugars, in it very disappointed it is undrinkable. $50 for a box and will have to throw it out :( Show details
Why is it so grainy? – Tried my first shake yesterday, it so grainy! Like trying to drink thick, blended up cardboard with artificial sweetener. It's just so gluggy, like trying to drink glue. Tried the strawberry one today with a bit more water, not much better. It tastes like Berry Gaviscon. Really awful. Show details
Absolutely Foul – There is nothing I liked about Lady Shake. It is foul. I could not finish it - I was gagging. Way too thick and gritty, even when you water it down. There is something I find disgusting in the taste - maybe the flaxseed? Something oily and almost rancid. Show details
I fell I’ll after having the lady shake – I had the lady shake twice on two different occasions, both times I started feeling unwell… lightheaded, trembling and ended up vomiting, tried contacting them via phone, email and on website and no response… horrible service, waisted my money. Will never ever buy anything again associated with them Show details
Yuck! – Absolutely the worst meal replacement shake I’ve ever tried! So sickly sweet i couldn’t even taste a hint of coffee, I terribly hungry when i tried it but I couldn’t even finish it without gagging. Show details

shakes I've tried with milk don't taste as good as this one so here's hoping weight loss and getting rid of some of my Xtra winter coat
No results at all – 2 months, yes 2 MONTHS... and no weight loss at all. BUT did you know they have an exercise program to help you loose the weight??? The Lady Shake Challenge... wish I could share that link! So, all those promotional ads you see promising big results, will never mention the exercise, only the shake...basically sucking you into forking out big $$… Read more
for nothing. All you need to do, is eat a little bit less and exercise a little bit more... and that shouldn't cost you anything. But FYI, to make the thick disgusting shake drinkable, try stirring through a spoonful of instant coffee... I actually make a plunger of good quality ground coffee, and add either the coffee, chocolate or honeycomb flavours that work best
Easily replaced my morning coffee – I just started the shakes a week ago. It replaced my morning coffee and breakfast. It baffles me how people write * disgusting * they are dieting shakes, what they expect them to taste? Like the full calories shakes that you buy at the coffee shops? People are funny. I personally like their consistency and people whining cause they are too thick,… Read more
just add extra water? no need a genius to do that. overall it has been a very good first week, ty Lady Shake!!! :)
Lady shake – I have now tried the choc-mint (too sweet)coffee ok & choc-banana ok. Find consistency to think. The taste is not as good as other brands that are mixed with milk. I am finding the opposite problem to other readers it is giving me diarrhoea. I am wondering if this is because I am lactose intolerant? The website specifies that it is suitable for people with this condition.
