Sunday Morning Shake Routine (Plus the Roast Dinner Debate)
Sunday is the day most people fall off their routine. This guide covers how to keep your morning shake habit going on a relaxed day — and settles the roast dinner debate once and for all.
Quick answer: have your Formula 1 shake on Sunday morning as normal. Have the roast dinner. You do not need to choose between them. A shake at breakfast and a normal roast dinner is a perfectly reasonable day — the shake keeps breakfast controlled, the roast dinner is a normal meal. Consistency over weeks matters more than perfection on any single day.

The Sunday morning routine
Sunday mornings are often slower than weekdays — which actually makes the shake easier, not harder. You have more time to make it properly, more time to enjoy it, and no commute pressure. The routine is the same as any other day:
- Drink ½ tsp Herbal Tea Concentrate in hot or cold water.
- Make your Formula 1 shake with 250ml semi-skimmed milk.
- Drink it. Done.
On Sundays you can also try a shake bowl version — blend with less milk and eat with a spoon, topped with frozen berries or a crumbled Protein Bar. It takes slightly longer but feels more like a weekend treat.
The roast dinner debate — settled
Should I skip the shake if I’m having a roast?
No. A roast dinner is a normal meal — protein (meat), vegetables, and carbohydrates (potatoes, Yorkshire pudding). It is not a diet-breaking event. Having a shake at breakfast and a roast dinner at lunch or dinner is a perfectly reasonable day. The shake keeps breakfast controlled; the roast is a normal meal.
Should I skip the roast if I’m on a plan?
No. Skipping normal social meals to stay on a plan is a sign the plan is too restrictive. A sustainable approach includes normal meals with family and friends. The shake routine works because it controls breakfast — not because it eliminates everything else.
What about the extras — gravy, stuffing, pudding?
Enjoy them in reasonable portions. The shake at breakfast has already created a calorie buffer for the day. One roast dinner with normal accompaniments does not undo weeks of consistent morning shakes. Consistency over weeks is what produces results, not perfection on any single day.
What if I’m going out for Sunday lunch?
Have your shake before you go. You will arrive less hungry, make better choices from the menu, and eat a smaller portion naturally. The shake is not a replacement for the meal — it is a buffer that makes the meal easier to manage.
Why weekends are where habits are won or lost
Most people maintain their routine Monday to Friday and abandon it at weekends. Over a month, that is eight days without the habit — roughly a quarter of the time. The people who see the best results are those who keep the morning shake going seven days a week, not five.
Sunday is the easiest day to skip because there is no external structure. The fix is to make the shake the first thing you do on Sunday morning — before you decide whether you feel like it. The decision is made the night before, not in the moment.

Frequently asked questions
Should I have my Herbalife shake on Sundays?
Yes. Keeping the routine going seven days a week produces better results than five days. Sunday mornings are often slower, which makes the shake easier to prepare properly. The habit becomes automatic when it happens every day without exception.
Can I have a roast dinner on a Herbalife plan?
Yes. A roast dinner is a normal balanced meal. Having a shake at breakfast and a roast dinner at lunch or dinner is a perfectly reasonable day. The shake controls breakfast; the roast is a normal meal. One roast dinner does not undo weeks of consistent morning shakes.
What if I want something different on Sunday mornings?
Try a shake bowl — blend Formula 1 with less milk until thick, pour into a bowl, and top with frozen berries or a crumbled Protein Bar. Same products, different format, feels more like a weekend treat.
What flavour works best for a Sunday shake?
Vanilla Cream is the most versatile — it works well with frozen fruit, coffee, or cocoa added. Smooth Chocolate is better if you want a classic chocolate shake. Both are £24.96 for 550g at member discount price.
