Really works!
Tastes really good, way better than my wifes optifast which i found gross. Every manshake flavour is absolutely delicious and i look forward to waking up and making some to start the day. Started on Manshake 18 weeks ago having 2 manshakes a day instead of 2 meals (still eat a proper healthy dinner) i started on 128kg and now are 110kg and am full steam ahead and loving it. Adam MacDougall is a legend, thanks so much!. Adam you are as awesome with health drinks as you were out there in origin next to Girdler busting through Wendell Sailor tackl...Read more

Not bad. But poor marketing from chemist.
Bought this from the local chemist. I spoke to the female attendant and asked her if it come in small trial packs and her response was no. only if you buy a shaker you will get two small packs. One choc mint one coffee. None of which I like...So I fork out $44. for one large bag of chocolate flavored shake. Which is not bad tasting. no weight loss yet, but it's only a week, so time will tell. Now I get on The Man Shake web site and guess what! They sell a Man Shake Variety Pack. 5 Flavors in a 10 pack. And supermarkets sell the Variety Pack. . my fault for not shopping around.

Tastes Great and Really Healthy
I originally started on the Vegan Man Shake to lose some weight, like everyone else I guess. I have lost the weight that I set out to lose and now I continue to purchase it (and the Chocolate Greens because they are brilliant) because it has got so much good stuff in it and helps me better regulate my weight. I use it a lot for work lunches because of the convenience, with some store bought vegan muesli bars (no vegan Man Bars yet) and bananas.
It is great that they took the initiative by selling a Vegan option and I hope that it goes well for them.

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 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 .

Side effects
Purchased about a months worth of product however was not able to stay on it for more than one or two days at a time as it caused severe constipation. Increased my water intake and tried Metamucil but this stuff set like concrete hence no weight loss success for me.

Worst shake I've ever tried.
Bought a 10 shake, mixed flavour pack from Coles. Each flavour tasted worse than the last.
They probably work as they taste so horrible it makes you lose your appetite.
I've tried lots of shakes and protein powders of the years and this is the worst by far. Some even have a sour taste to them, almost like vomit.

Not sure yet!
I have been using The Man Shake for only one week replacing breakfast and lunch each day. Unfortunately I also am suffering with severe constipation which is surprising as normally I have a regular constitution. I have now read more reviews which seem to support my experience with the Man Shake. I did weigh myself before I started the program but don't believe I have been on the program long enough to say whether I have lost weight. I will post another review once I am back to normal and will try a different approach to using this product. I am not prepared to stop using Man Shakes just yet. I also purchased a variety of the Man Bars to supplement snacks etc between shakes which seem to complement the shakes and satisfy my appetite.

I use the man shake for breakfast as a type 2 diabetic works well at keeping my sugar levels down salad for lunch then a normal dinner keeps the weight down and energy levels up

There must be a better way....
After hearing about the Man Shake for some time in the media I decided to throw my scepticism to the wind. The taste and texture is not altogether great but scored a big win by just adding a banana when mixing in the blender. The slogan for this product is "lose the beer gut without losing all the beers" (err, really?). As I don't drink beer (just No Sugar Coke) I thought I would definitely be in front with Man Shake. I started on this journey at 102.6kg. (I am usually 95kg but would like to get to 90kg or less) and stuck diligently to a sha...Read more
ke in the morning, one at lunchtime and a reasonable meal at night every day. Now for the results: after a little over 1 month I've lost only 3kg (and absolutely nothing in the last week - very disheartening). My reward for this is (except for short periods) I am perpetually hungry, bad constipation (now I know something about what women go through when giving birth) and develop so much gas that if I could bottle it I could be energy independant. As I still have a fresh pack of Man Shake to go through I will continue on it with a fading sense of hope. Like I said, there must be a better way. I don't want to discourage anyone from buying this product, but honestly, despite the positive marketing blurb, this method of losing weight is no walk in the park (hey, maybe that's what I'm missing!).Purchased in November 2021 at Terry White Chemmart for $40.00.

For Convenience
Enjoying the shakes but as a traveller would like to be able to buy a pack of sachets of the same flavour. Variety pack ok but I hate coffee so 2 sachets are wasted.

Not to my liking Birthday Cake or Coffee
The man shake is an awesome product, However it would be great if you could try a sample of the new flavours before buying. I brought the birthday flavour only to throw it away, a waste of $44.95

Why would you?
I purchased the 10 pack of assorted flavours from Coles for $36. Day 1, I had the chocolate. Day 2, I had the strawberry. Day 3, I had the vanilla. There was no day 4 because the taste of the shakes literally made me gag and I felt nauseated for the three mornings after consuming them. I think I know why they don't sell individual packs.
Apart from the convenience factor, why would anyone replace a meal with a shake?
For breakfast, you could have a cup of sultana bran with skim milk which is approximately 210 calories. A poached egg on a slice...Read more

t. A calorie is not a calorie and most of your suggestions either contain no protein or are high in sugar like sultana bran which is actually bad for you and is why the govt is looking to crank down on breakfast cereals and their "health claims". Taste is subjective and there are definitely things you can do to change the taste so please email [email protected] and they can send you a list of suggestions as you obviously want the man shake to work for you like it has for hundreds of thousands of other aussies.Similar opinion?

The key factor here is to be focused and have ability to challenge yourself the flavours are great in my opinion
Tried all the flavours in my opinion they are great. With 30mins on the trendmill everyday for the last 9 weeks. I weighed in 102.2 kilos and 9 weeks later Ive lost a total of 8.2 kilos. My weight is 94kg Im only 4 kilos of my goal it also comes down to 2 shakes a day and also to been focused. Love the manshake.

Questions & Answers
Darrylasked
Can this be mixed with milk instead of water ?
1 answer
Jesse R.The Man Shake
Our recommendation is water. However milk is also fine. We recommend full cream milk or unsweetened almond milk rather than low fat milks (they tend to be higher in sugar)
Tracy Rasked
Can I still use my man shake powder past the best before date?
1 answer
Jesse R.The Man Shake
Hi there,
Thanks for your email - great question!
We have checked with our manufacturer regarding the longevity of ingredients after the Use By Date. We do not recommend you use the product if it is past its Use By Date due to it containing dairy.
To ensure you have the most effective, freshest product possible it would be best if you did not use these.
Many thanks,
The Man Shake and Lady Shake Team!
Paul E.asked
I really enjoy all the flavours of the Man Shake but it appears to make me quite bloated. Is there a solution for this?

Sorry to hear this. It can take up to a week for your body to process the change to a high protein diet, dependent on your diet before.
