Zinzino LeanShake Chocolate, 16 servings

A meal shake for the days when you would otherwise eat nothing, or something you would regret later.

Why it works

The difference between a shake that keeps you going until the evening and one that leaves you craving something sweet after an hour, comes down to two things: protein and fiber. This one has both. The protein comes from whey isolate, milk protein, and collagen peptides. The fiber comes from the same Zinobiotic mix you may already know: psyllium fiber, resistant corn fiber, inulin, and oat beta-glucans. These fibers nourish your gut flora and ensure the shake is digested slowly rather than quickly.

It also contains MCT fats, quinoa, pineapple, papaya, and 25 vitamins and minerals. Proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass, and that is exactly what matters when losing weight: you want to lose fat, not muscle.

The flavor is chocolate and the texture is creamy, not watery.

Who it's for

For those who skip lunch and make up for it in the evening. For those who are in a program and notice that the days without structure are the hardest. And also for those who do not want to lose weight at all, but are looking for a breakfast that sticks with you.

Not for you if you cannot tolerate milk. In that case, choose the vanilla or wild berry, as those are plant-based.

How to use it

As a full meal replacement, mix two 30-gram sachets with 250 ml of water and shake for a few seconds. If you want it as a snack, use one sachet with 250 ml of skimmed milk.

What people most often do wrong: using too little water because it’s faster. This results in a thick shake that you finish in three gulps, and then the satiating effect of those fibers doesn't work. Use the full 250 ml and drink it slowly.

Replacing two daily meals of an energy-restricted diet with meal replacements contributes to weight loss. Replacing one daily meal contributes to weight maintenance after weight loss.

A final thought

In a weight-loss program, I always look at what you eat, and not because I want to impose a diet on you. I simply see the difference between two clients with the same treatment and different results, and that difference is often not in the treatment room.

A shake is a tool, not a solution. It makes one decision per day for you, at the moment when you are most likely to choose something wrong. That is exactly enough. Do not count on it to do the work for you.

And honestly: the first week it feels like too little. That feeling goes away as soon as your body gets used to the fiber.
