Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix — the complete guide

Formula 1 is Herbalife’s flagship product and the most widely used meal replacement shake in the world. It is designed to replace one or two meals per day as part of a calorie-controlled diet, providing a controlled number of calories, high protein, and over 20 vitamins and minerals in a single serving.

What it is

A powdered meal replacement shake. Two scoops (26g) mixed with 250–300ml semi-skimmed milk provides approximately 200–220 calories and 18–20g protein. Contains over 20 vitamins and minerals — nutritionally complete as a meal replacement, not just a protein shake.

Who it is for

Anyone looking to replace one or two meals per day with a controlled-calorie, high-protein alternative. Most commonly used as a breakfast replacement. Also used by people who want a quick, nutritious meal when time is limited.

How to use it

Mix 2 scoops (26g) with 250–300ml semi-skimmed milk in a shaker or blender. Takes approximately 90 seconds. Can also be made with plant-based milk, water (lower calorie), or blended with ice and fruit.

Results timeline

Most people notice reduced hunger at breakfast within the first week. Replacing one meal per day typically produces 0.5–1kg of fat loss per month without other changes. Consistent use over 8–12 weeks produces the most meaningful results.

Protein Drink Mix (PDM) — complete guide

Protein Drink Mix is designed to be added to a Formula 1 shake to significantly increase the protein content. It can also be used standalone mixed with water as a very low-calorie protein drink.

Formula 1 alone (semi-skimmed milk) ~210 kcal ~19g Standard meal replacement
Formula 1 + PDM (semi-skimmed milk) ~285 kcal ~34g High protein, post-exercise, muscle preservation

The Herbalife programme — how to build your routine

The classic programme combines all four core products in a specific order. You do not need to use all products — Formula 1 alone is effective. But the full routine is designed to work together.

Half a teaspoon in 300ml hot or cold water. Provides a mild caffeine boost from green tea extract at approximately 6 calories.

2

Aloe Concentrate (with or after tea)

3

Formula 1 shake (breakfast)

2 scoops in 250–300ml semi-skimmed milk. Add PDM for higher protein. Takes 90 seconds. Provides approximately 200–220 calories and 18–20g protein (or 280–300 calories and 33–35g protein with PDM).

4

Collagen SKIN Booster (optional, any time)

One serving mixed with water. Consistent daily use for 8–12 weeks is required to see skin benefits.
