We’re excited to announce the launch of OPTIFAST Protein Plus Shakes, a tasty new addition to our range of meal replacement products!
These high-protein, thick-style shakes are available in both Vanilla and Chocolate flavours, and join our OPTIFAST Shakes, OPTIFAST Soups, OPTIFAST Desserts and Meal Replacement Bars as a new option to help support you on your weight loss journey.
When you’re following a weight loss plan, it’s important to consume adequate amounts of protein, as it is essential to maintain muscle mass.
Muscle mass is vital for building and maintaining strength and supporting fitness and agility. It’s also important for mobility by helping to maintain bone and joint health.
OPTIFAST Protein Plus Shakes are higher in protein than our standard Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate and Coffee OPTIFAST Shakes with 28g per serving in the Protein Plus Shakes versus 20g of protein in our standard shakes.
OPTIFAST Protein Plus Shakes also contain less lactose – 0.63g per serving compared to 9.35g in our regular OPTIFAST Shakes – making them a more suitable source of protein for people who are lactose intolerant or have difficulty digesting higher amounts of lactose.
The OPTIFAST Protein Plus Shakes contain less sugar than the standard OPTIFAST Shakes – 1.9g per serving versus 10.1g per serving.
Depending on your protein requirements, you may be advised to use one or two Protein Plus products per day when you’re following an OPTIFAST diet plan. These should be consumed in place of other meal replacement products, not in addition to them.
The Protein Plus Shakes can be used during the first three-week intense phase of your diet plan as protein helps manage hunger.
These high-protein shakes can also be used when you are following a Six Week Diet Plan or Maintenance Plan, as a quick and easy option to replace your conventional breakfast.
