Herbalife Formula 1 Vanilla Cream 780g. Is the Big Tub Worth It?
The 780g tub is the same Vanilla Cream Formula 1 you know, just bigger. This guide covers the cost per serving vs the 550g, how long it lasts, and when it makes sense to buy the larger size.
Quick answer: Formula 1 Vanilla Cream 780g is £36.00, approximately £0.95 per serving at around 38 servings per tub. That is about 20% cheaper per serving than the 550g. If you already use Vanilla Cream daily and know you will finish the tub, the 780g is the better value. No membership fees, no minimum order.

When to buy the 780g
You already use Vanilla Cream daily
If you have finished at least one 550g tub and know you enjoy the flavour, the 780g is the straightforward upgrade. You save approximately 24p per serving, around £9 over the life of the tub.
You want fewer reorders
The 780g lasts approximately 38 days at one serving per day vs 21 days for the 550g. If you find yourself reordering frequently, the bigger tub reduces the hassle.
When to stick with the 550g
If you are new to Herbalife, start with the 550g. There is no point buying a larger tub of a flavour you are not sure you will use every day. Establish the habit first, then upgrade.
Trying a new flavour
Always buy the 550g when trying a flavour for the first time. The 780g only makes sense for flavours you already know you enjoy.
The honest verdict
The 780g is not a dramatically better deal. It is a modest saving per serving combined with the convenience of ordering less often. The real value is for people who have already established a daily shake habit with Vanilla Cream and want to reduce the cost and frequency of reordering.
If you are new to Herbalife or have not yet finished your first tub, start with the 550g. Come back to the 780g once you know Vanilla Cream is your flavour.
