How each rating was worked out
Overall = formula and evidence 50% + ingredient quality 20% + taste 15% + affordability 15%.
Taste 4.0
79% of 314 Amazon ratings were 4 or 5 stars (Amazon shows no taste-only rating for this product). Customer ratings are about the whole product, and some may not be genuine.
Affordability 3.6
₹131 for one complete meal (35 g of the product + 300 ml skimmed milk), as the directions say to take it. Compared with the cheapest of the meal replacement shakes we rate that are priced the same way: the cheapest scores 5, and twice its price scores 2.5. Amazon price ₹1,100 for 400 g on 8 Nov 2026.
Ingredient quality 4.2
- Added sugar — 0 g added sugar declared; the 6.3 g sugar a serving is naturally occurring (milk), as the label saysGood
- Carbohydrate quality, no fillers — No maltodextrin, starch or syrup solids; milk solids lead the list and FOS is a prebiotic fibreGood
- Fat quality — Saturated fat 1.9 of 9.5 g per 100 g (20%), trans fat under 0.1 g, oil named (refined sunflower oil), no hydrogenated fatGood
- Formula focused on the aim — L-carnitine is added for weight management, but at 0.49 g a serving (about 1 g a day at two shakes) it is below the 1-3 g a day used in studies; beetroot juice powder has no stated weight-management purpose (likely colour)Partly
- Transparency — Every ingredient named and a full nutrition panel with each vitamin and mineral; the front's 36 g protein and 6.1 g fibre are per 100 g, which the label footnote saysGood
- Additives of concern — Two non-nutritive sweeteners, acesulfame potassium and steviol glycosides; no preservatives or artificial coloursPartly
Graded with our meal replacement shakes matrix (how we judge ingredients).
Formula and evidence 3.6
- Calories per meal suit calorie control — About 234 kcal a meal: 35 g powder (132 kcal, label) in 300 ml skimmed milk (about 102 kcal); the listing itself says 217 kcalGood
- Protein per meal, for fullness and muscle — About 22.6 g protein a meal: 12.6 g from the powder (milk solids) plus about 10 g from 300 ml skimmed milkGood
- Fibre per meal, for fullness — 2.1 g fibre a meal, from FOS only; the 'High Fiber' claim (6.1 g) is per 100 gPoor
- Vitamins and minerals for a complete meal — 10 vitamins and 4 minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc) with amounts, about 30% of the ICMR need for sedentary women a serving for mostGood
Formula 3.6 of 5 × category evidence 2.5 of 2.5 ÷ 2.5: the science counts only as far as this product is like the ones studied. Meal replacements are among the most studied dietary approaches for weight management: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials found greater weight reduction at one year than food-based diets (Astbury et al., Obesity Reviews, 2019). Each meal as directed, 35 g powder in 300 ml skimmed milk, gives about 234 kcal (the listing says 217) and about 22.6 g protein: 12.6 g from the powder plus about 10 g from the milk. Fibre is low for a meal at 2.1 g (FOS). There is no added sugar; the 6.3 g sugar a serving is milk sugar. It has 10 vitamins and 4 minerals with amounts, and 0.49 g L-carnitine a serving, below the 1-3 g a day used in studies even at two shakes a day. This does not promise any result.
