Meal Replacement Products

Which keto meal replacement should you choose, a meal or a shake?

Choose by the energy in one serving: a 70 g Keto Meal serving carries 389 kcal. A 20 g Diet Keto Shake serving carries 71 to 78 kcal, which makes it a protein drink beside your meals rather than a plate of food.

The two ranges are also built on different protein. Keto Meal takes its 26 g of protein per serving from pea and rice concentrate, which is why the 700 g tubs are labelled vegan, while every Diet Keto Shake is built on whey protein isolate and grass-fed bovine collagen.

Added vitamins and minerals divide the two ranges the same way. The Keto Meal range carries added vitamins and minerals, declared on each pack, and a Diet Keto Shake serving carries none, because it is built for protein alone.

If protein is the only thing you are after, the meal part is what you can drop. Our keto protein powders leave out the added vitamins and minerals and give you the isolate on its own.

Which low carb meal replacement has the least sugar?

The lowest declared sugars here are 0.1 g in a 20 g Diet Keto Shake serving. That is the Coconut and White Chocolate flavour, and a 25 g Keto Meal sachet declares 0.8 g of sugars.

No sugar is added to any product on this page, and the labels say exactly that: no added sugar, with a note that naturally occurring sugars are present. Sweetness comes from sucralose in the Keto Meal range and from organic erythritol in the Diet Keto Shake range.

Carbohydrate follows the order of the servings: 1.2 g to 1.7 g in a 20 g shake serving, 3.0 g in a 25 g sachet and 8.2 g in a 70 g serving of Keto Meal. The bigger the serving, the more carbohydrate comes with it.

Sugar free and no added sugar are two different phrases on a United Kingdom label. Sugar free is kept for foods with no more than 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g, so a low carb meal replacement powder with sugars from its own ingredients carries the no added sugar wording instead.

What counts as a meal replacement on a United Kingdom label?

In Great Britain, meal replacement for weight control is a regulated phrase with fixed numbers behind it. Those numbers come from the retained rules on foods for weight control, not from the shop.

Under them, one meal has to provide 200 to 250 kcal, with no more than 30 per cent of that energy from fat, protein between 25 and 50 per cent of energy, and at least 30 per cent of the reference intake for the listed vitamins and minerals.

The products on this page are labelled for what they are. Keto Meal is a powdered meal in the 700 g tubs and a powdered food supplement in the single serve sachets, while Diet Keto Shake is a high protein drink powder made from whey isolate and collagen.

Each of them prints its energy per serving, so you can hold any powder on the market against that band yourself: 389 kcal in a 70 g Keto Meal serving, 134 kcal in a 25 g sachet, 71 to 78 kcal in a 20 g shake serving.

How do you make up a meal replacement powder?

Every meal replacement powder here is mixed with cold water and nothing else. Four scoops of Keto Meal, about 70 g, go into 300 to 400 ml, and a shaker makes it smooth in about 30 seconds.

One 25 g sachet goes into 200 to 250 ml of water or a plant drink. Twenty grams of Diet Keto Shake, which is two scoops, needs only 100 ml, because a smaller serving needs less liquid to dissolve in.

Water is not the only option. A low carbohydrate juice or an unsweetened plant drink works as well, though both add their own calories and carbohydrate on top of the powder, so a meal substitute powder mixed with water alone keeps the count simple.

Drink a sachet serving within three hours of mixing it, or within twenty four hours if you keep it in the fridge. The tubs come with a scoop, so four level scoops are one meal portion and two are one shake serving.

Are keto meal replacements good for weight loss?

No powder removes the need for an energy deficit. What a weighed serving does is settle the arithmetic before you drink it: 389 kcal in a 70 g Keto Meal serving, 134 kcal in a sachet and 71 to 78 kcal in a 20 g shake serving.

A plate assembled by eye never gives you that figure in advance, and a scoop does. The same goes for carbohydrate, where one shake serving takes roughly 3 per cent of the 50 g of net carbohydrate a day that BeKeto works to.

Only what the label declares goes into this description. Neither MCT oil nor collagen carries an authorised health claim in Great Britain, so this page names the source, the form and the amount, and makes no promise about the result.

Protein is the one ingredient here with authorised wording, and a 70 g Keto Meal serving carries 26 g of it: Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.

Order the size that fits the job: a 700 g Keto Meal tub at £31.90 for ten servings, a box of seven sachets at £11.49, or a 500 g Diet Keto Shake tub at £24.90 for twenty five servings, with delivery across the United Kingdom.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best meal replacement shake for keto?

The one whose serving matches the job. A 70 g Keto Meal serving brings 389 kcal and 26 g of protein when a meal is missing. A 20 g Diet Keto Shake serving brings 71 to 78 kcal and 12.2 g to 13.9 g of protein when you only want protein beside the food you are already eating.

Which is cheaper per serving, a keto meal or a keto shake?

The shake, at about £1 a serving. A 500 g Diet Keto Shake tub costs £24.90 and holds twenty five servings of 20 g. A Keto Meal sachet works out at £1.64, and a 70 g serving from a £31.90 tub at £3.19.

Are these meal replacement products vegan?

The Keto Meal tubs are labelled vegan. They take their protein from pea and rice concentrate. Every Diet Keto Shake is built on whey protein isolate and grass-fed bovine collagen, so the shakes suit neither a vegan nor a dairy free diet.

How many servings are in a tub of keto meal replacement?

Ten in a 700 g Keto Meal tub. Each serving weighs 70 g, or four scoops. A 500 g Diet Keto Shake tub holds twenty five servings of 20 g, and a box of Keto Meal sachets holds seven single serve sachets of 25 g.

Can you replace every meal of the day with a powder?

No, they cover the meal you would skip. The Keto Meal sachets carry the food supplement wording that they should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet, and a varied diet matters alongside the tubs and the shakes too.

What is the difference between a Keto Meal sachet and the 700 g tub?

Portion size: 25 g against 70 g. A 25 g sachet gives 134 kcal, 9.3 g of protein, 3.0 g of carbohydrate and 1.7 g of fibre. Four scoops from the 700 g tub weigh 70 g and give 389 kcal with 26 g of protein.

Do keto meal replacements contain added vitamins and minerals?

Keto Meal does, Diet Keto Shake does not. Every Keto Meal pack declares its added vitamins and minerals, with the list printed on that pack. A 20 g Diet Keto Shake serving declares none and is built for protein alone.
