The Slender Blend by Protein World


For a long time now I have been wanting to start taking a protein shake and I couldn't decide on one that I wanted. However a friend mentioned Slender Blend by Protein World and had heard good reviews about it, so I did some research, read a few reviews and decided to take a chance and order it. I was originally looking for a shake to take mainly after my workouts to help build and repair my muscles. However, I've been trying to shift the stubborn few pounds, so I thought replacing some meals may not be such a bad idea. 

The Slender Blend Weight loss claims to:

Nutritious meal replacement
Aid weight loss and weight management
Enhance body tone
Improve skin, hair & nail health
Stomach friendly

I decided to just order the shake, however they do bundles and Slender Blend can be bought alongside Fat Melter capsules and multi vitamins as part of the weight loss collection. The collection is designed to keep you full, help you lose weight fast, speed up your metabolism, burn fact and help the growth of lean muscle. 

My delivery arrived very quickly (2 working days) and I was happy to receive a shaker as well as I don't own one. I chose chocolate flavour, but there is Strawberry, Vanilla and Banana to choose from. I have tried a couple of protein shakes that my brother has and I found them to not taste very nice at all are a quite grainy in texture. However I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and light this shake is, with no lumps or feeling like I'm drinking a cup of sand. And it helps that it tastes nice too! I also received a weight loss guide and Slender Blend shake recipe. Another thing I like about this is the packaging. I know what doesn't make a difference to the actual product, but I like that it looks a bit more feminine unlike the majority of protein drinks. I've only been taking it for just under a week, but I am noticing some definition coming through in my abs, but I will give an update in a couple of weeks to let you how I got on with it.


Their website also has a recipe section, giving you lots of ways to mix up your shakes. There a various products on their aimed at different needs, so there is something there for everyone. 


Slender Blend cost £30 for 1.2kg, plus p&p and is available at www.proteinworld.com

This month Birchbox has teamed up with Haper's Bazaar to bring you this special edition box. I instantly loved the box when I first saw the design and it just makes it a bit more interesting than the usual brown box.
