The Breakfast Flavour

Banana Cream and Vanilla Cream are the two mild flavours in the range, and they do different jobs. Vanilla is a blank canvas you add things to; banana already tastes of something, and what it tastes of happens to go with everything people put in a morning shake — oats, peanut butter, cinnamon, a shot of coffee. If a shake is replacing your breakfast rather than your lunch, this is usually the one. For a straight dessert flavour instead, see Smooth Chocolate or Strawberry Delight.

Using Formula 1 for Weight Control

Formula 1 is formulated as a meal replacement, and two specific uses are recognised:

This product is intended for use as part of an energy restricted diet and with other foodstuffs, in conjunction with regular physical activity. It is important to maintain adequate fluid intake and to follow these directions as indicated. Meet your daily caloric goals by also consuming nutritious snacks.

4 Ways to Prepare It

Gently shake the canister before each use, as the contents can settle.

Where the Sugars Come From

A shake made with semi-skimmed milk contains 18 g of sugars — but 12 g of that is lactose from the milk itself, not from the powder. Prepared with soy beverage the total is 15 g, of which 9 g comes from the beverage. Either way, about 6 g per serving comes from Formula 1. The powder is sweetened with fructose and steviol glycosides from stevia rather than added sucrose.
