Herbalife Formula 1 Shakes UK, Prices and Cost Per Serving
Every Formula 1 flavour in stock, what each tub costs, what that works out at per serving, and which one to buy first.
Quick answer: We have 9 Formula 1 flavours in stock. A 550g tub is about 21 servings, so a tub at £26.46 is roughly £1.26 a drink. Start with Smooth Chocolate or Vanilla Cream if you have not had it before, because both work with water alone.
What you are actually comparing
Formula 1 is sold by the tub, and the tub price is the number most people look at first.
That number tells you very little on its own, because it hides how many drinks you get.
A 550g tub holds roughly 21 servings at the standard 26g scoop.
On the prices in stock today that works out at about £1.20 a serving.
Compare that figure across flavours rather than comparing tub prices, and the picture changes.
It also gives you something real to compare against whatever you currently buy in the morning.
Every flavour in stock
Prices checked in August 2026. The per serving column assumes the standard 26g scoop.
| Flavour | Tub | Per serving | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banana Cream | £26.46 | £1.26 | Mild and sweet, and the one most people find easiest with just water. |
| Cafe Latte | £26.46 | £1.26 | Coffee forward, so it suits anyone who would otherwise skip breakfast for a coffee. |
| Cookie Crunch | £26.46 | £1.26 | The sweetest in the range, closer to a dessert than a plain shake. |
| Mint Chocolate | £26.46 | £1.26 | Sharper than the plain chocolate, and divisive. Buy one tub before committing. |
| Smooth Chocolate | £26.46 | £1.26 | The safe first choice. It hides the taste of water better than the fruit flavours. |
| Strawberry Delight | £26.46 | £1.26 | Light and fruity, and the one that works best blended with frozen fruit. |
| Vanilla Cream | £26.46 | £1.26 | The most versatile. It takes cinnamon, berries or coffee without fighting them. |
| Vanilla Cream | £36.00 | £1.20 | The most versatile. It takes cinnamon, berries or coffee without fighting them. |
Working the cost out for yourself
Take the tub price and divide it by 21, which is the servings in a 550g tub.
A tub at £26.46 lands near £1.26 a serving.
If you use it once a day, that is your daily cost, and a tub lasts about three weeks.
Two shakes a day halves the tub life to around ten days, so the monthly cost doubles.
Work out which of those you are actually going to do before you order three tubs.
Most people overestimate how fast they will get through a new flavour.
Which flavour to buy first
If you have never had it, buy one tub of Smooth Chocolate or Vanilla Cream.
Both are forgiving with water alone, which is how most people drink it on a weekday.
Vanilla is the more useful of the two, because it takes additions without clashing.
Fruit flavours like Strawberry are better blended than shaken, so they need a bit more effort.
Cookie Crunch and Mint Chocolate are strong flavours, and people either love them or do not finish them.
A tub you do not enjoy is the most expensive tub you will ever buy, whatever it cost.
Limited editions are a different decision
Pineapple Coconut and the Dubai Style Chocolate are limited runs rather than permanent lines.
Stock and price on limited editions move more than the standard range.
That matters if you are building a routine, because the flavour may not be there next month.
Buy them as a one off tub alongside a staple, rather than as the staple itself.
Mixing, and why it changes what you think of a flavour
The instruction is two scoops in 250ml, and most people use water because it is quickest.
Water is also the least forgiving, so a flavour you dislike with water may be fine with milk.
A shaker works, but a blender with ice gives a noticeably thicker result.
If a flavour tastes thin, try more ice before you write the tub off.
Adding fruit or coffee changes the nutrition, so read the label if that matters to you.
Storage and shelf life
Keep the tub sealed, dry and out of direct sun, and use the scoop rather than a spoon.
Damp is what ruins a tub, usually a wet scoop going back in after a rushed morning.
Check the best before date on the base of the tub when it arrives.
A tub used once a day will be finished long before the date becomes a question.
Mistakes that quietly cost money
Buying three tubs of a flavour you have not tried is the most common one.
Ordering single tubs repeatedly is the second, because you pay delivery each time.
Buying the biggest bundle before your routine is settled ties up money in things you may not finish.
Switching flavour every tub means you never find the one you would actually stick with.
None of these are dramatic on their own, and together they add up over a few months.
What a serving actually costs you
At about £1.26 a serving, the comparison most people make is against breakfast bought out.
A coffee and something from a bakery on the way to work is usually several times that.
Made at home it is closer, and porridge or eggs will often come in under it.
The honest answer is that it competes on time and consistency more than on price alone.
If you already skip breakfast entirely, then it is a new cost rather than a saving.
Work out which of those describes you before you decide whether the per serving figure is good value.
How to be sure you are getting genuine stock
Herbalife is sold through members rather than through shops, which is where confusion starts.
Sealed tubs, a clear best before date and a scoop inside are the basics to check on arrival.
Prices far below the normal range are worth questioning rather than jumping at.
We are an independent Herbalife member based in the UK and everything we ship is genuine stock.
If anything about a delivery looks wrong, tell us and we will sort it.
Delivery and ordering
There is no minimum order, so a single tub is a perfectly normal order.
Delivery is shown at checkout, and it is worth adding to the tub price when you compare.
Ordering two tubs at once spreads that cost across both.
If you are unsure which flavour, order one and come back rather than guessing across three.

Frequently asked questions
How many servings are in a 550g tub of Formula 1?
About 21 at the standard 26g scoop. That is the number to divide the tub price by when you are comparing flavours.
Which Formula 1 flavour is the best one to start with?
Smooth Chocolate or Vanilla Cream. Both work with water alone, which is how most people drink it on a weekday morning.
Do all the flavours cost the same?
The standard range sits at the same tub price. Limited editions can differ, so check the price on the product page.
Is it cheaper to buy a bundle?
Per tub, usually yes. It only saves you money if you finish everything in it, so check the contents against what you would have bought anyway.
How long does one tub last?
About three weeks at one serving a day, or around ten days at two. That is the figure to plan your ordering around.
Can I mix it with milk instead of water?
Yes. Milk gives a thicker result and softens a flavour you find sharp with water. It changes the nutrition, so check the label if that matters.
Are these genuine Herbalife products?
Yes. We are an independent Herbalife member based in the UK and everything we ship is genuine stock.
What if I do not like the flavour I chose?
Try it with milk or blended with ice before giving up on the tub. If it is still not for you, pick a different flavour next time and start with one tub.
