A frequently asked question among consumers is: How many calories does a Herbalife shake contain? Well, the answer isn’t as straightforward as you might think, as it largely depends on how you prepare it. Let’s delve into the details.

Calories in a Herbalife Shake

The first thing I’d like to clarify is that not all flavors of the Formula 1 shake contain the same number of calories. The variations may not be substantial, but it’s important to note this in case you come across different information on other websites or even on the shake’s own packaging.

Herbalife shake calories with water

If you prepare an F1 shake with water using a 26g portion, you are consuming approximately 103 kcal only. This low caloric content is a key reason why Herbalife is often associated with significant weight loss. Water, being calorie-free, is typically our recommended choice for those on a weight loss plan.

Of course, we advise it along with other products that also add some calories to your diet. If you’re just going to have a shake to replace your dinner or breakfast, you can afford to do it with milk, which, in addition to having benefits, tastes better. 

You can take into account the recommended calorie distribution in the diet.

How many calories does a Herbalife shake have with milk?

Milk provides more calories than water, but the final result depends on the type of milk you choose. We recommend semi-skimmed milk, because it has less fat than whole milk but retains the nutrients that almost disappear in skimmed milk. If you prepare it this way, the calories in an Herbalife meal replacement shake calories is around 227.
