This ain't yo mama's Slimfast shake, you guys.
While I've never been a fan of meal-replacement shakes myself, Purfit started because they liked them and appreciated the concept of having a quick healthy meal in the form of a milkshake. But they wanted to have all the benefits of a a health shake and none of the hassle of a complicated ordering process or high-brow diet system (I agree! It's just a shake. I don't need to make it a "thing."). Then in 2011, along came an Olympian looking to get in shape but his allergy to dairy and general dislike for boring pre-packaged healthy meals was making the shake route a challenge.
Thus, Purfit was born, with all the benefits of a healthy meal replacement shake without being hassled into joining a club or retaining a coach or subscribing to a brand of additional diet products.
And would you believe it -- they actually let me try this for a week. A shake a day keeps the cravings away, I say. (Apparently I was just taken over by Dr. Seuss' ghost.)
How else did it help?
- By curbing my cravings for sugar and junk food, I felt a little more empowered to watch what else I was eating all day and I lost a few pounds.
- Increased energy levels (Be sure to only drink it in the morning, though. I had trouble sleeping one ill-fated night. Totally my bad.)
- Improved digestion and regularity (True. And no comment. Because you don't need that image in your noggin'.)
Your standard ginormous jug of Purfit is about $80 and last a long, long while. It's available in chocolate with plenty more flavors to come.

Disclosure: I was provided with the aforementioned product in exchange for my honest review, opinions, etc. I even warned them I don't like chocolate that much -- they risked sending it anyway and proved me wrong!
