Not too sweet meal replacement shakes

Looking for meal placement shakes to replace 2 meals per day. Have tried exante, Cambridge and protein warehouse and they are all very sweet and artificial. I have some puriton ones to try as hopefully they are less sweet. Are there any less sweet brands out there?

I like freesoul vegan meal replacement, usually have it mixed with Oatly skinny. I have only tried the chocolate one and I think it’s really nice. Doesn’t taste really artificial.

I've been having Huel recently and love it. The banana flavour is my favourite.

I buy USN diet fuel in the large tubs. Lower sugar than Exante and higher protein/fibre too.

Thanks, I will take a look. How does unflavoured Huel taste?

And has anyone tried the fast800 ones? How are they for sweetness? The puriton pistachio was really nice and plain tasting made with unsweetened almond milk, but so different from the usual sweet fruity ones

My DH has Huel. It tastes of absolutely nothing but sadness but he likes it.

Slim fast aren’t too sweet.
I love the vanilla with a teaspoon of instant coffee, blended with ice. It tastes exactly like the frappe latte from Nero.

Got some ready to drink huel in sainsburys yesterday, but they are chocolate and vanilla, let’s see how strong they are. Didn’t think of slimfsst, coffee is a good idea

Huel vanilla ready to drink was really nice. Only very slightly sweet with natural tasting vanilla and no aftertaste

I think purition are the best, lots of flavours as well.

Forza isn’t too sweet - there’s a low sugar version. I have odd blood sugar that goes mad with ‘dirty sugar’ and these don’t put me flat on my back. They don’t actually taste too bad (like melted ice cream). About 200 cals a pack and if I have one at breakfast I feel stuffed until late lunchtime. And I am a greedy bigger.
