Chances are you’ve probably seen a few of those late night infomercials for weight loss shakes “as seen on TV”. One of the most popular ones is the George Foreman Life Shake.
We all know George Foreman in one way or another, whether we were interested in his athletic career or love grilling up our favorites on a George Foreman grill. George Foreman is a household name to many, which is why the interest in his meal replacement shake product called Life Shakes undoubtedly sparks the interest and intrigue of many people.
Here is a quick breakdown of the nutritional information:
110 Calories, 3 grams of Fat, 10g Carbohydrates, 4 grams dietary fiber, 10 grams protein, 5000 IU Vitamin A, 300 mg Vitamin C.
With its debut in 2007, the Life Shake product claims to deliver all the nutrients and antioxidants your body needs. What is a little alarming however is that their website does not seem to list these actual ingredients or even what size the quantity is in when ordering. Manufactured by VitaQuest, there is relatively little information on their website as well, which consists mostly of one picture of the building’s headquarters. For approximately $23.99 per canister, it is somewhat expensive but is also comparable in price to the many other different alternatives available out there. It is available in both Vanilla
Now, I want to ask you a very important question: Why on earth would you order something that does not even list what the ingredients are? And do you really think a powder is going to offer the antioxidant and enzyme benefits of fresh shakes and smoothies? Of course not!
Making real food smoothies takes only about three minutes a day – and the nutritional benefits far supersede those you can expect to get out a can or jar. Why would anyone settle for a bland, vitamin tasting powder when you could instead enjoy a fresh and delicious smoothie and get all of the same health benefits without the artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or fillers?
Our recommendation: Stop wasting your money on terrible tasting powders and start drinking real shakes you make with your blender! You’ll feel amazing and be healthier than ever! Another bonus? It costs less, too.
Sorry George Foreman, we can’t recommend your life shake powder to anyone, no matter what it tastes like.
