The Man Shake - Choc Mint

I lost about 1Kg across two weeks. I may have lost more if it didn’t taste awful. Powdery, strong artificial sweetener taste. I missed many days because I couldn’t stomach the idea of the taste. The choc honeycomb one is just as bad. The cola one was almost good though, still a little powdery but the artificial sweetener taste was more manageable. Show details

I purchased 4 packets for the price of 3. Overall I found the Man Shakes overly sweet and very gritty. The biggest issue was the resulting constipation. If I only had one shake a day it was tolerable but two shakes needed laxatives. I tried adjusting the water from 350ml to 500ml but with no greater success. I did not try milk as that would… Read more

increase the caloric intake which is not the point of a shake. I need to stress that this is my experience and others may not have the same issues.

Coffee - I was able to drink the coffee shake with a spoon of instant coffee. It was less sweet and passed a bit easier. Chocolate - This was OK again with a shot of coffee powder. Choc Mint - The mint tasted rather fake and I ended up throwing out about 50% the packet. Honeycomb - This was the worst of the lot. What were to be chunks of Honeycomb just made it worse and even got stick in my throat. This caused the worst constipation and I was only able to have three shakes before it went in the bin.

I have now switched to another brand from Tasmania and though they have less flavours they taste much better and I have no constipation. As an added bonus they are half the price.

A simple method to lose fat provided you stick to it – About 10 weeks into using The Man Shake and I've lost 10kg so far, dropping from 101kg to 91kg. With kids and work I don't have much time to get to the gym but I've found that two of these a day, plus cutting out fast food and soft drinks and replacing it with green tea and a balanced dinner has helped me lose that weight. Ten thousand steps a day… Read more

has also been helpful to keep myself somewhat active, and is suggested in their articles you can receive if you subscribe to their newsletter.

In terms of the flavours, the choc mint is my favourite followed by coffee, chocolate and then cookies and cream. I wouldn't rush out to buy cookies and cream again but I will try other flavours in my next order. The snack bars are also a great snack alternative.

At first I found myself feeling a lack of bowel movement from the shakes but more water intake and added psyllium to the morning shake has helped me become regular again. Also blending these instead of shaking them gives a smoother consistency.

Whilst I find these are more expensive than other shakes found at chemists, this seemed to be a more premium option that kept me fuller and helped me lose weight without big amounts of added caffeine. Also when compared to my previous spending habits on barista made coffees and fast food, this has saved me a lot of money.

8kg lost in 4 weeks so far! – I don't understand the negative reviews of people saying they are not losing any weight. They obviously aren't controlling their diets outside the Man Shakes and still eating snacks, large portions, calorie-dense food or cheat meals. It's just simple bodily thermodynamics; calories in, calories out. I have a sedentary office desk job, and play… Read more

computer games and watch TV in my spare time. I don't play sports or exercise at all. If I can lose weight with my lifestyle, literally anyone can.

It's my first time using a meal replacement shake, and Man Shakes have already helped me lose 8kg in the past month. I'm well on my way to my target of losing 25-30kg. I'll check back in after another month or so to update.

I have lost weight before without Man Shakes, but these diets normally involve a lot of bland food like unflavoured tuna, steamed chicken breast etc. which gets really miserable eating day-in, day-out and I end up giving up and reverting to bad eating habits. But the Man Shakes help me feel full at work, are sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, and so far the varied flavours have all been pretty nice. So far I've tried Choc Mint (my favourite so far), Cookies & Cream (my 2nd favourite), Caramel (nice, but not strong/sweet enough for my liking), and Coffee (my least favourite so far. I could add a shot of espresso to make it stronger, but I'm too lazy for that).

I look forward to trying the new/returned choc-honeycomb & mango flavours. Banana & strawberry sound alright too. I've even heard that mixing flavours to create hybrid smoothie-style flavours works well, so I'll give that a go.

loving It, Its definitely worth a try :) – After having major surgery, I gained a fair amount of weight, which didn't help my condition or recovery. I heard about The Man Shake from friends, tho i was sceptical I thought id give it a go. I brought the box with the mixed flavours 3weeks ago and Im glad i did, not only did i get the chance to see which flavours i liked the most, I got to… Read more

trial the program with very little expense. I have since ordered the larger value pack, which was a great deal 4 for the price of 3 and i got to chose the flavours i like the most. I have found mixing it with Ice and coconut water is the best way to go, it leaves very little after taste, its early days so ill get back to you all in regards to my weight lose.

For those who want to try this product, keep in mind it is not a 5star 3 course meal, it is what it is, a shake to help you get better weight control and improve your health. In that regards its Great and I would say give the starter box a try, you wont lose anything by trying......except maybe some weight ;).

The best ever – I've been buying the 4 bags for 10 months and sometimes buy the variety box from my local woolies. I only buy the bars when they are on special. I've found the shakes to be the only ones I've ever tried that keep me full. I've lost 21kg since June last year. I'm 68 yo.. I walk 5km every morning and do weights 3 times a week. I love the bars but… Read more ·  2

I'm on a pension and they are too expensive Would be nice to have a discount on them. I've got 3kg to go to reach my goal weight of 87kg. The Manshake is definitely the best thing on the market. I've tried choc mint, vanilla strawberry, chocolate and banana in the 4 bag deal. I love the taste.

Amazing! Lost 2.5kg in 1 week – I had a baby and couldn’t lose the weight with exercise and healthy eating. I started lady shake. Lost 2.5kg on first week. I eat a healthy dinner and breakfast, replace 1 meal with lady shake. Have lost 6kg in 6 weeks. Started at 73.5kg now weigh 67.5kg Show details

Works people! – Lost 3kg in 13days, tastes really good for a 5 star healthy nutritious meal replacement... Use it properly and DONT cheat and results come easy. Show details

Tastes like Gaviscon – My wife and I bought the mutli flavour packs as a trial. Neither of us can get it down without feeling like chucking! The choc mint tastes like Gaviscon and the banana has. Horrible chemical taste. The rest are in the bin. Weight loss never tasted worse. Show details

Doesn't work – I've been replacing 2 meals a day with this stuff for 6 months now and have not lost a single kilo. I think since Adam Macdougall sold it the formula has change because it worked well for me a couple of years ago. Show details

Wasn’t diabetic friendly as advertised – Tastes good, keeps the full feeling but my sugar levels more than doubled when I was using the man shake. I lost a little weight but could not sustain the 13+ readings for my blood sugar. I stopped eating the man bar first but that didn’t change my blood sugar levels, then stopped the man shake and my blood levels returned to between 5.6 to 6.0.… Read more

If you are diabetic (I am type 2) don’t buy the $249.00 package like I did, buy a single pack to test it first.

Satisfied customer – This product is absolutely delicious and really works too , we’ve tried berries , birthday cake , choc/mint , vanilla . Would recommend this to anyone trying to loose weight ☺️ Show details ·  1

Great taste and easy to have for breakfast – I have always skipped breakfast and decided to try the man shake for breakfast instead of skipping it. It has worked out great and I have lost 5kg in 4 weeks. Show details

Very Happy – I have found Manshake to give me more energy, less “flat” episodes during the day and a feeling of fullness that I don’t achieve with food leading to less snacking and unhealthy drinking. My primary issue has been mild constipation which self resolves. Show details

The best shake on the market!!! – Great tasting shakes. The choc mint is my favourite!!!. keeps me and hubby fuller longer. The bars are even better ,it curves that craving in the evenings and you don't have to feel guilty about eating it. I have had many shakes before and the price is very similar in comparison, well worth it in my opinion. We will be buying more when this lot runs out. Thank you Man Shake/Lady Shake :) Show details

Easy to use and stick to, tastes great as well – My husband and teenage son have tried all of the flavours, and enjoy all of them. They both find them filling and tasty. My son has it with milk, but my husband drinks with water. My husband finds 2 shakes/day is an easy way to manage his meals, and my teenage son has one for breakfast and a snack after finishing work. It is a great, satisfying… Read more

product for weightloss or just as an easy meal. The shakes are quite thick (just like a thickshake) but you could always add more water/milk if you like it thinner.

Disgusting! – Absolutely disgusting! I got four flavours to try and can’t drink any of them. They don’t mix well, even in a blender. I’ve tried with water, milk and almond milk. My partner also got some lady shakes and can’t drink them either. The one time we managed to get past the terrible taste, we both got massive headaches and felt nauseous. Worst shakes we’ve ever tried.  Show details

It does work and is easy to do – I am only 3 weeks in but choc mint is my favourite flavour but all are good. It has been easy to do the 2 shakes/day with occasional light snacks and water it’s easy. (And it works for weight loss). I am not hungry, well on rare occasions I am but the weight loss is worth it. Show details

Tasty and effective – Tried 4 flavours, coffee, chocolate, banana, and my favourite, choc mint. I use it with milk instead of water as it tastes so much better. I have 2 each day, and it keeps me full until dinner. I make sure to drink plenty of water too which helps. I always take a man bar with me just incase I get a bit hungry, but after a few weeks on the shakes I… Read more

am yet to have the urge to eat one. The taste of the shakes surprised me as they are all really nice. I think the people complaining about not losing weight are probably eating too much as well as using the shakes, so if you do it properly it works.

Perfect for weight loss!! – Perfect for weight loss!! Choc Mint doesnt even feel like you drinking something diet!!! Especially when you add the manshake SUPER GREENS!! 15KGS down so far!! Highly recommend this product!! Show details

Perfect – I've only just started the Man Shake and definitely not looking back. The flavours are awesome and already seeing positive results around the belt line. My favourite flavour is the chocolate mint with the coffee a close 2nd Show details

Best Flavour, can't get enough of it!! – I have only tried four flavours so far as I have only just started this journey. I like all four, however, the choc mint is amazing. Would recommend this to anyone! Show details

Tastes awesome and awesome value – I have tried all the flavours, i must say that i love them all, mix and match or have on their own, its all good baby.. there is always a flavour for everybody to enjoy. Show details

Helped me to loose 25kg – Started the manshake in 2019 at 98kg, bought as was recommended via a colleague who had been using it, was sceptical at first and didn't expect it to work. I followed the plan (2 shakes / 2 snacks [1-150 cal each] and healthy dinner) and managed to drop from 98 to 73kg. Have tried all the flavours, wasn't a fan of the Strawberry or Banana, now… Read more

just stick to my favorites of Choc Mint, Coffee and Chocolate.

Love the taste and textures found that some need slightly more water than they recommend but it's a person choice but worth playing around with the volume of water to get the texture that you like!

Been on maintenance since the start of 2020, hovering now around 77/78.

Must buy - Gamechanger! – Best purchase ive made - fixed alot of my bad habits and lost weight while doing so!! Paired 4 flavours with the manbars and immune booster. All work together so nicely. A+++ Show details

The man shake birthday cake – The man shake birthday cake shake is awesome, I love to mix some frozen berries in with it and put it in the freezer for 39 minutes before having it, goes down like a thick shake. Get on it Show details

This has changed my life! – I’ve lost 20kg and I’m not looking back! I was ready for the taste to be less than desirable, but now I can’t wait to have my shakes every day! Show details

I am really enjoying the ManShakes – Hi fellows, only two weeks in and can say I am really enjoying the ManShakes. It is a little bite slow. Great tasting flavours and the Man Bars taste good too. I am happy just to have a routine with my eating patterns now. Chocolate and Vanilla are my favourite. Show details

Plenty of water – I have been on the shake for 4 months, I add 800ml to my shake not the 400 you state, it still has a very strong and yummy taste, ( especially the birthday cake) I have shake for breakfast, chicken and salad wrap for lunch and shake for tea or dinner. I also have your man bar mid morning and mid afternoon. I have lost 6kg but it seams to come off… Read more

one week then nothing the next week. I did hope for a more rapid loss. It certainly fills me up and I have bags of energy but just wish results were a bit better. Sticking to it for now as it is very satisfying .

Works a treat if you stick to it – I do the man shake twice a day Monday to Friday and stick to the program, definitely notice the difference by Friday then the weekend arrives and I go to crap, start again Monday .... choc mint and vanilla are the best, I love iced coffee but man shake coffee is no even close. Show details
