SlimFast Strawberries & Cream Shake

     I was anxiously awaiting for my SlimFast Influenster VoxBox. I had never tried SlimFast products. I had always read  negative reviews about their powder shakes in the past so therefore I was a little skeptical. I did feel excited though because I have ALWAYS been overweight my entire life. Even though I have lost 208 pounds I still weigh 242 pounds as of today:( I have tried everything: the Adkins Diet, Low Fat Diet, Vegetarian Diet, weight loss pills both over-the-counter and prescription, and finally weight loss surgery AFTER losing 100 pounds by dieting alone. 
     After my Vertical Gastric Sleeve surgery two years ago I lost an additional 108 pounds. As of now I have tried different weight loss shakes to lose additional weight but have always hated the smell and taste of them UNTIL NOW!
     My SlimFast Influenster VoxBox included the following: 
     -1 SlimFast Strawberries & Cream 
       shake
     -4 recipe cards for making   
       cocktail/mocktails with 
       the shake provided
     -1 plastic martini glass to enjoy your
       shake
     The SlimFast Strawberries & Cream shake is one of four SlimFast shake flavors. Other flavors include: French Vanilla, Cappuccino Delight, and Rich Chocolate Royale. For this SlimFast Campaign Influenster has partnered with DR Mixologist, Darryl Robinson who is the host of "Drink Up" on The Cooking Channel. DR Robinson has created four delicious recipes to enjoy that include using the Influenster VoxBox Slimfast shake. You can find those recipes by clicking here: SlimFast Recipes 
     SlimFast Strawberries & Cream shake is beautifully packaged in a cute hourglass shape bottle with a tempting picture of the Strawberries & Cream shake being poured into a drinking glass on front below the SlimFast brand logo. Key nutritional information such as the shake only being 180 calories per serving, controlling hunger up to four hours, and fat, fiber and protein content can easily be seen on the front as well. 
On back you will find a Nutrition Table of Contents:
The SlimFast Strawberries & Cream shake is loaded with all of the "good stuff"  you want and less of the "bad stuff" that you don't want. 
     Using the recipe card for the "Sassy Strawberry Colada-Mocktail I gathered all of my ingredients:
The recipe was so quick and easy to make. In less than five minutes I whipped up and poured my delicious mocktail into the SlimFast "Get What You Really Want This Summer" martini glass. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. It was very a very creamy and refreshing blend of fruit flavor with a tropical coconut note. It could easily become a Summer party favorite.
     I also tried the SlimFast Strawberries & Cream shake alone from the bottle. I cannot believe that it is so good with NO yucky aftertaste! I could easily follow the SlimFast 3-2-1 Plan (which is also listed on the side of the shake bottle).
