user reviews
The doTerra Trim Shake is perhaps one of the best options we found in terms of a meal replacement shake. The protein blend used is made up of whey protein isolate, pea protein, and rice. These isolates are boosted with a variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals as well as a natural appetite suppressant.
The flavor content is sweetened with stevia, which is an all natural sugar source. With so much working together for the good, our editors were surprised to find that there wasn’t anything bad to mention about the overall shake’s ingredients.
All Safe Ingredients
There’s nothing relegated as bad in the doTerra blend. The company has done a great deal of work to ensure that they offer a good protein blend, adding an appetite suppressant, and flavoring it with a natural sweetener. You can’t really go wrong with this option, which is why we have given it a top ranking.
Conclusion
We are a bit concerned about the suggested serving size 15.5grams being so small. This is not even half of the serving size of most shakes. Not sure if they are just doing some funky math and or they don’t really want you to have much nutrition per serving? We’d recommend at least two scoops of this shake, if not three, to even get going. doTerra Trim Shake has a lot to offer someone who wants to lose weight, and keep it off. The drawback here is the price tag, as this is one of the more cost prohibited options we’ve tested. That alone may drive many not to go forward with it.
