Herbalife shakes with water or milk: Which is better?

The shake is one of Herbalife users’ favourite products. It has many health benefits and is perfect for both weight loss and maintenance, muscle mass gain or if you want to supplement your nutrition to ensure a healthy and complete diet.

The Herbalife shake comes in powder form and can be prepared with milk, vegetable drink or water. However, many people ask us which is better? In this article I’ll explain and give you some tips on how to make it even better.

Prepare Herbalife shake with milk or vegetable drink

The first option is to prepare the shake by mixing 3level scoops of the product with 250 ml of skimmed milk or vegetable drink. If you want it more liquid, in this case, it would be best to add water, as more milk may make it less digestible.

This way of preparing it is recommended by Herbalife, since this is how the nutritional intake is calculated to consider the shake as a substitute for a full meal.

Prepare Herbalife shake with water

The ideal is to prepare them as I mentioned in the first option, i.e. with skimmed milk or vegetable drink. However, there is also an alternative to prepare them with water if for some reason you cannot or do not want to do it the first way.

To prepare the Herbalife shake with water, use 250-350ml of water, add the 3 scoops of Formula 1 shake plus one scoop of Protein powder Herbalife or one scoop of shake mate.

Some people choose this alternative when they are on a weight loss plan, as it has fewer calories.

It’s also a good option for when you’re on the go, as you only need to carry the shake powder and protein, or even leave it in the shaker, and refill it with water on the go.

Is it better to prepare the Herbalife shake with milk or water?

As I have been telling you, it is best to prepare it with milk, but in cases where there is any allergy, intolerance, if milk does not agree with you or if you do not like it, you can also use water, bearing in mind that to cover the nutritional needs correctly, you have to add the Herbalife protein to the mixture.

Tips for preparing the Herbalife shake

• It can be prepared either hot or cold.
• To drink it hot, it is important to heat the milk or vegetable drink before adding the product, because if you heat it already blended, the shake could lose some of its nutritional properties.
• If you prefer it cold, I recommend adding some ice cubes or crushed ice, it is super fresh and, in my opinion, much tastier.
• Some people add frozen fruit to give it a different texture and flavour.

Why do I feel full after drinking the shake, but still feel hungry?

This can happen at first whether you drink it with water or milk, and especially in cases where it is used as a meal replacement. Why does this happen? Because we are doing without chewing. By not chewing, even if we are full, it is as if our body feels that something is missing.

Don’t worry, because this can happen the first few times, but in a few days this sensation disappears. You can try drinking it as slowly as you can or, together with the shake, eating half an apple (also slowly).
