Having fun with shakes recipes
Just like the online programme, The Fast 800 shakes recipes reflect the principles of the scientifically-proven Mediterranean diet. They’ve got natural ingredients that keep you fuller for longer and support gut health.
The basis of your diet should comprise whole foods, with shakes incorporated during times when you need a bit of extra convenience. If you’re using them on a fasting day, you can just add water to the shakes powder and it takes the thinking out of a meal.
The Fast 800 team like to use shakes on non-fasting days also because they’re so full of nutrition. The recipes below are a collection of ideas using the powder as a base and adding in a few extra Mediterranean-stye ingredients to make a non-fasting day meal.
These recipes have been made using the UK shakes. The nutritional information for the Australian products are slightly different however, they can be interchangeable.
