Frequently Asked Questions
Which Formula 1 shake flavour is best for weight loss?
All Formula 1 flavours have the same calorie and nutritional content (approximately 200 calories per serving with semi-skimmed milk), so the best flavour for weight loss is the one you'll enjoy consistently. Vanilla Cream and Smooth Chocolate are the most popular choices because they're satisfying and versatile, helping you stick to your nutrition plan long-term.
Can I mix different Formula 1 flavours together?
Yes, you can absolutely mix flavours. Popular combinations include Vanilla Cream with Smooth Chocolate, Banana Cream with Smooth Chocolate, or Café Latte with Vanilla Cream. Mixing allows you to create custom flavours and use up tubs you might not enjoy on their own.
How long does a 550g tub of Formula 1 last?
A 550g tub provides approximately 21 servings. If you have one shake per day, a tub lasts about three weeks. If you have two shakes daily, it lasts 10-11 days. The 780g Vanilla Cream tub provides approximately 30 servings.
Do Formula 1 shakes contain caffeine?
Only Café Latte contains natural caffeine from coffee (approximately 40mg per serving, similar to a cup of tea). All other Formula 1 flavours are caffeine-free, making them suitable for any time of day, including evening meal replacements.
What's the difference between Formula 1 and Formula 1 Free From?
Formula 1 Free From is specifically designed for those with dietary restrictions. It's vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free, using plant-based protein instead of dairy protein. The nutritional profile is comparable, with approximately 17g protein per serving. Standard Formula 1 shakes contain dairy-based protein and are suitable for vegetarians but not vegans.
Which Formula 1 flavour is most popular in the UK?
Vanilla Cream and Smooth Chocolate are consistently the most popular flavours in the UK due to their versatility and universal appeal. Café Latte has grown significantly in popularity, particularly among busy professionals who want nutrition and energy in one shake.
Can children have Formula 1 shakes?
Formula 1 shakes are formulated for adults and are not recommended as a sole source of nutrition for children under 18. However, they can be used occasionally as a nutritious snack for older children and teenagers as part of a varied diet. Always consult with a healthcare professional before giving nutritional supplements to children.
How should I prepare my Formula 1 shake for best taste?
For optimal taste and texture, blend two level scoops (26g) of Formula 1 with 250ml of semi-skimmed milk using a blender or Herbalife shaker. Use cold milk and add ice if desired. For a thicker shake, use less liquid or add frozen fruit. For the Free From variant, use unsweetened almond, soy, or oat milk.
