Gundry MD ProPlant Complete Shake Reviews

My initial experience was a lot like what those who have flatly rejected the product have written about. It just took me a moment of deductive reasoning to figure out why, alter my tactic, then try again for better results.

Like everyone who purchased this product, I need help, and Dr. Gundry developed a chocolate shake that would provide that help getting good proteins in my body. I figured, "how badly could something like this go?" The first thing I thought of, which was my first mistake, was Nestle's Quik, with the rabbit on the container; not because I thought it would just be an all-pleasure experience, but because that is what I expect to taste when I think of a chocolate powder mix.

So when it arrived, and I opened the container and smelled that cocoa and tasted a tiny bit of it, my expectation increased. I didn't level off that scoop; I heaped it, just as I would do Nestle's Quik way back when, added that water...and...

It was laughable. It reminded me of a children's toy where you add water and you get what they horrifyingly call "edible slime". Mixing it with a spoon or blender made no difference. It sloughed around and you could not engage in the act of drinking it so much as chew it, and...yeah, that's enough of that.

To sum up, I expected Nestle's Quik, and got something else. My expectations are my problem and no one else's; despite that, they were aided by the label on the can. Was the recipe ratio of liquid to powder on the container accurate? My answer to that is a resounding NO, unless you're into bad comedy.

BUT, I paid for the product, because I needed it, just like the rest of us, and wanted it to be a good experience. I have learned that we are never disappointed by what we find; only by what we EXPECT to find, as the level of disappointment is always equal to the level of expectation.

So here's what I did, in the hope that this helps someone else who has invested in the product for their own well-being:

1) I reduced the scoop to about 2/3 instead of filling it. As Han Solo once said (and for this review, I mean it in the way he did not...), "I don't care what you smell!" Nestle's Quik this "ain't".

2) I didn't try mixing it with a spoon, but instead used a Magic Bullet type blender to keep it from trying to become a gelatinous life form.

3) I added some vanilla almond milk.

The result was pretty freakin' tasty. An actual shake with the right amount of thickness. No lumps. The only reason I am not 5-starring this review is because they missed the mix target on the container by about a nautical mile.

Again, everyone has a different mindset, and I don't expect everyone to concur with my point of view out here, but on the off chance that this helps someone else who shelled out three figures for this to improve their body temple, I hope this review may be of service to you.

I ordered one jar of this stuff after sitting through some really long video, and after I was forced to deny the multitude of upsell screens before I could actually order only one. It was very irritating to be manipulated like that.

Now, as we are trying to get more, we notice that the jar they sent us has 10 grams of protein in each serving while it was advertised at 20 grams per serving! Not nice, as the president would put it.

We are told to use their micro website for reduced prices, but when we try to use the address, we get nothing. Nothing.

I have not had enough time to assess the effectiveness of this product for me, and I took note that a refund is not available unless I use the product for 30 days at least. Aha! The container only has enough product for 20 days! Who makes this stuff up?

Though I am totally frustrated with dealing with them, my wife wants to order some more. So far we have not been able to locate any order forms except the most expensive site.

Gundry MD, please exhibit a little customer service and give us some help.

It’s the most terrible shake I’ve ever come across! So bad that I’ve had to throw it out. It’s not like a shake at all. It has the consistency of glue. Absolutely revolting! Highly disappointed. How this product can be marketed as a shake really makes me angry. A total waste of money.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I am recovering from Bypass surgery on 4/25/19 and I saw the ad for ProPlant Complete Shake on the internet. I bought the product but prior to actually taking it, I passed it by my surgeon, my cardiologist, and my Cardio Physical Therapy team. All responded positive saying there was nothing harmful or bad in it and to go ahead and use it. It is working like Dr. Gundry said about removing the mid-section fat which is responsible for Diabetes and heart problems. My side handles are almost gone and I have a loss of 23 pounds due to diet and exercise. I replace 4 and 5 meals a week with a shake. The mix I use is Kale, celery, strawberries, and one scoop of shake powder, I mix with water in a blender.

I purchased ProPlant Complete Shake in good faith, trusting every word of the infomercial, but it was a colossal mistake. Within a couple of hours of drinking my first shake, which I made according to the advertised directions, I began experiencing severe, sharp, stabbing pains in my stomach. The pain steadily increased over the next few hours, and then "other things" started happening. Ugh! One shake caused me over FIVE hours of hell. Dr. Gundry failed to include ANY words of caution or mention ANY risk related to his product. Then, adding insult to injury, it cost me almost $20 to return it. I can't stress this enough - DO NOT purchase this product!

Have been mixing the powder with organic, sugar-free coconut milk, and drinking twice daily.

One of the first noticeable improvements was the lack of hunger.

The powder has a great taste, not chalky as other protein powders I have experimented with.

I have recommended the protein power to friends at the gym, and they to have had positive comments and results with weight loss, however, more importantly, they are feeling less fatigued and feel better overall.

I love the effect, but when I mix the powder with room temperature water, and shake it, it turns into a nasty slimy mess that is so awful I can't swallow it. I had better results by using chilled milk, only stir with a spoon, and then drink it without emulsification.

I use a NutriBullet. First I put in some berries and a banana. Next a tsp of almond butter. Next 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Then one and a half cups of almond milk. Then I add 5 to 6 cubes of ice and lastly and this is important, I add a scoop of collagen and a scoop of the shake so when I invert my NutriBullet container, the powders are next to the ice and the blades. I blend for 45 seconds. Delicious with a perfect consistency. This is a meal replacement recipe, since it has the extra calories. Hope this helps those with a too thick consistency.

It says if you buy in on Gundry's site, the price reduces, so I did, and the reason it reduces is ALL the ingredients are cut in half, including 10g protein (not 20), the whole label of Supplement Facts are 1/2 everything, that's why it's cheaper. Now I'm not sure if I should double up on the dose. Also, it doesn't say if you can drink it more than once a day.

The Chocolate is very delicious. The shakes are filling, so they cut down on the amount of snacks I eat. I feel less bloated and have more energy. I love it. So far, I've lost 10 pounds my first month. Thank you Dr. Gundry.

You need a spoon to eat this, it is so gelatinous! You can't drink it! It's slimy and pretty much gross! I'm seriously thinking about returning. I wanted something healthy that I could take on the run because I am on the road a lot for my work. This isn't it.
