Weight Loss Shake
Your weight loss shake. This wholesome meal replacement provides you with all the important nutrients you need - including high-quality protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Sugar-free, vegan and quick to prepare, it helps you lose weight effectively with just 203 kcal per portion and helps you achieve your weight goal in the long term.
A weight loss shake - also known as a diet shake - is a calorie-reduced meal replacement that provides less energy than a regular meal, but covers all essential nutrients: protein, fibre, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. The aim: a controlled calorie deficit without compromising nutrition.
The protein content alone does not make a good weight loss shake. A pure protein shake lacks fibre for a feeling of satiety, fats for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and micronutrients such as iron, zinc or magnesium. A weight loss shake that functions as a meal in its own right provides all of this.
In the EU, weight control products are subject to strict specifications - the so-called formula diet defines ranges for calorie content (maximum 250 kcal per serving), protein content (25-50% of energy) and micronutrient density. Products that fulfil these criteria guarantee an adequate supply of nutrients even with a reduced calorie intake.
Not every shake that calls itself a "slimming shake" fulfils these requirements.

203 kcal, 17 g protein, 11 g fibre - the Shape Shake provides less than half the calories of an average meal, but a complete micronutrient profile with 26 vitamins and minerals.

11 g of fibre per portion - more than most diet shakes contain. The inulin comes from the chicory root and has a prebiotic effect: it nourishes the beneficial bacteria in your intestinal microbiome. The added probiotic Bacillus coagulans complements this effect. Together, they ensure that 203 kcal satiates you for up to five hours.
Pea protein and rice protein from brown rice complement each other to create a high biological value with all essential amino acids. 17 g sounds less than the 20-27 g of other diet shakes - the context puts this into perspective: with only 203 kcal, 33 % of the total energy comes from protein. This is in the upper third of the EU guidelines for formula diets.
Flavours: Cocoa (bestseller), Vanilla and Strawberry. Price: €29.90 for 25 portions - that's €1.20 per meal.
€1.20 per portion for the Saturo Shape Shake - typical diet shakes range from €1.50 to €2.99. But price is only one factor. Sugar, fibre and protein source differentiate slimming shakes more than the packaging suggests.
Three points stand out. Firstly: 11 g of fibre - double to triple the amount of most competitors. Secondly: zero grams of added sugar. Some diet shakes come with up to 30g of sugar per serving (read the ingredients list - honey, maltodextrin and glucose syrup count). Thirdly, the price: €1.20 is the lowest value in the overview.
In terms of protein, the Shape Shake is lower than some of its competitors. Anyone who needs 30+ g of protein per meal - for example during intensive strength training - will find an alternative with 36 g of protein and 400 kcal in the Saturo drinkable meal. However, this is not designed as a calorie-reduced slimming shake, but as a complete meal.
Yes - as long as there is a calorie deficit. Your body loses weight when it uses more energy than it takes in. A Shape Shake with 203 kcal, which replaces a meal with 500-700 kcal, saves 300-500 kcal per meal.
There are two stumbling blocks to this.
The first is your basal metabolic rate. If you cut calories too radically, you signal a deficiency to your body - your metabolism slows down and the yo-yo effect kicks in after the diet. You gain weight again more quickly than before. A moderate deficit of 300-500 kcal a day is enough. This corresponds to one or two replaced meals, not three.
The second: muscle mass. In a deficit, your body reduces muscle protein synthesis - it not only breaks down fat, but also muscle tissue. Protein counteracts this: it helps to maintain muscle mass. The 17 g in the Shape Shake makes a contribution, the rest is covered by your regular meal.
How much weight loss is realistic in a fortnight? With a 500 kcal deficit per day: around one kilogramme of body fat. Anything over that is mostly water loss. If you want to lose belly fat, it takes weeks - no shake in the world melts fat in a specific area (spot reduction is a myth).
At 7.15 in the morning, the train leaves in three minutes. Breakfast is cancelled - or you can drink a Shape Shake in 30 seconds. 203 kcal, 17 g protein, filling until lunchtime.
Replace one to a maximum of two meals a day. The remaining meal should consist of fresh, balanced foods: Vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources. Your calorie calculator will show you how high your daily requirement is and how much of a deficit is sensible. A nutrition plan for losing weight helps to structure the Shake days and regular meals.
The duration depends on your goal. Use Shape Shake until you reach your target weight - then taper off for two to four weeks. Gradually replace the Shake meals with home-cooked food to prevent the yo-yo effect. Avoid the abrupt stop. This is the point at which most diets fail.
Not every diet shake is suitable for every diet. Many weight loss shakes are based on whey protein, casein or soya protein - and contain lactose, added sugar or both. The Saturo Shape Shake uses none of these.
Protein from pea and brown rice. Completely soya-free. No added sugar, only 1g of naturally occurring sugar per serving. No lactose. This makes it an option for anyone looking for a weight loss shake with no sugar, no soya and no animal ingredients.
One restriction: the Shape Shake contains oats and is therefore not gluten-free. Anyone who suffers from coeliac disease or needs a strict gluten-free diet will find a gluten-free alternative in the Saturo Ready-to-Drink - albeit with 400 kcal instead of 203, i.e. not designed as a calorie-reduced slimming shake, but as a full-fledged drinkable meal.
A good weight loss shake provides a complete nutritional profile with low calories: sufficient protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals - without added sugar. The Saturo Shape Shake offers 203 kcal, 17 g protein, 11 g fibre and 26 vitamins for €1.20 per serving.
No shake specifically reduces belly fat. Spot reduction - i.e. localised fat loss through certain foods - is not physiologically possible. Every weight loss shake that creates a calorie deficit leads to fat loss across the entire body. Where your body loses fat first is determined by genetics.
Yes - as long as there is a calorie deficit. Replacing a meal with 500-700 kcal with a shake with 203 kcal saves 300-500 kcal. With a 500 kcal deficit per day, you lose around 0.5 kg of fat per week.
Once or twice a day as a meal replacement. The third meal should consist of fresh foods - vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins - to ensure nutrient diversity and build healthy eating habits in the long term.
Until you reach your target weight. Then gradually replace the shake meals with regular food over two to four weeks. An abrupt change increases the risk of a yo-yo effect.
€29.90 for 25 portions, i.e. €1.20 per meal. Typical diet shakes range from €1.50 to €2.99 per portion - making the Shape Shake one of the cheapest weight loss shakes on the market.
Yes. The Shape Shake is 100% vegan, lactose-free and soya-free. It contains 0 g of added sugar - just 1 g of naturally occurring sugar per portion. The protein comes from pea and brown rice.
