Let’s be real — managing to find time for a protein shake, greens powder, and three balanced meals every day? It’s hard, and most days it’s just not on the cards for me.
That frustration is exactly why I tried LyfeFuel’s Essentials Nutrition Shake and why I’m now completely hooked.
I’ve tried countless protein powders before, but trying a multipurpose shake like LyfeFuel’s All-in-One Essentials Nutrition Shake was a new experience for me.
More than just protein, Essentials is a complete nutritional powerhouse that combines:
All for under $3 per serving when you subscribe, less than what you’d pay for that bottled protein shake at the convenience store, and without any of the artificial junk. I took a close look at the shake’s ingredient list, which wowed me in terms of transparency and nutritional value.
While most shakes focus solely on protein, LyfeFuel delivers complete nutrition (although the brand does also sell Performance Shakes).
It’s also made with organic greens, essentially eliminating the need for a separate greens powder, as well as a host of vitamins and minerals, including high doses of the hard-to-get nutrients D3, K2, B12, Magnesium and other micronutrients lacking in modern diets.
From antioxidants to probiotics and digestive enzymes, this multifunctional shake can replace your daily multivitamin. The low-carb, high-protein mix (containing 2 grams of natural sugar per serving) is marketed as a meal replacement shake, although I tend to reach for it between meals on long work days to keep me fueled.
Walk through any grocery store, and you’ll see a variety of protein powders on the shelves. LyfeFuel sets itself apart with 100% plant-based protein from pea and organic rice that delivers all essential amino acids your body needs.
But it’s what you won’t find that really matters:
The transparent ingredient list reveals exactly what you’re putting in your body: organic greens, antioxidant-rich berries, energizing healthy fats, and other nutrient-dense foods that most of us don’t eat enough of.
Even the best nutritional profile doesn’t matter if you can’t stand to drink it. This is where LyfeFuel truly shines.
I’ve tested both the chocolate and vanilla chai flavors extensively, and neither has that fake, chalky aftertaste that ruins most protein powders. The chocolate genuinely tastes like chocolate milk when mixed with plant-based milk, while the vanilla chai offers a sophisticated alternative for when you want something different.
You can add one scoop of the powder (scooper included in each bag) to 12 ounces of water or plant-based milk. I tested it both ways and preferred the creaminess of the milk route, and I even tried it with regular milk since I’m not 100% dairy-free.
No clumps. No grit. Just smooth, delicious nutrition that you’ll actually look forward to drinking.
I reach for the chocolate flavor more often, thanks to its classic chocolate milk-like flavor. But neither flavor has a weird, fake aftertaste, and I find them both quite filling.
LyfeFuel’s Essentials Nutrition Shake is available directly from their website, where you can get a 24-serving bag for $70 or save 15% with a subscription at $60 per bag.
If you’re tired of navigating the overwhelming world of supplements and want one simple solution that actually tastes good, this is it.
