Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 25 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the quality and taste of the products, describing them as unpleasant, synthetic, and even inedible. People frequently noted a chemical, disinfectant-like, or burnt plastic taste in various products, especially the cafe latte shakes, which many found undrinkable. Reviewers also reported issues with products not being filling and some experienced adverse reactions, which they attributed to artificial sweeteners. Some people were dissatisfied with the company discontinuing popular products, such as berry vegan Slimfast and chocolate orange bars, despite their profitability. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with certain products, with some enjoying the shakes and finding the toffee bars helpful for cravings. A few other people also felt that some snack bars, like the dark chocolate and cranberry, and chocolate fudge meal replacement bars, were acceptable.

Very disappointed

I've always been a big fan of slimfast always worked for me, however not a fan of the new improved recipe, doesn't have the same taste as the original one it tastes far sweeter & very sickly,will finish this tin,but will be reluctant to purchase anymore..

Just started using the New recipe…

Just started using the New recipe Strawberry slimfast shake mix as having just finished my tin of the original recipe, the taste of the new strawberry recipe is very disappointing, very bland and leaves a nasty after taste in your mouth. unfortunately if i cant buy the original this will be the last tin of slimfast i will be buying and to be honest i dislike the new recipe so much it its going in the bin

Good old trusted slimfast 4/5

Now I've been on slim fast a few months and have had success but I was getting bored of the few flavours they do have, so understandably I ordered from exante diets only to not receive there item. (I ordered from them because it had a wider range of shake flavours) but over a over week later no product so went back to slimfast and brought the new improved cafe latte but it really doesn't taste the same as before so I now mix it up with a bit of chunky chocolate powder which is still amazing and yummy. (hence the 4 star rating or else you could have had a 5 star) Plus they don't cost you a bomb.

Go back to old recipe!

I’ve been using the Slimfast Shakes for years, but their new recipes are terrible. They seem to have put more colour in and less flavour - especially the banana. Please go back to your old recipe!
