It's supposed to last for a month. The shake mix went faster than expected. It lasted for 3 weeks while the supplements are gonna last you exactly one month. Hope you enjoy the product!

It depends on how many scoops your use. I started off using 1.5 scoops, then I just switched to 1 because I've been mixing other things with it (PB2, cinnamon, cacao). I bought this in the beginning of July, and I still have enough for another +/-15 days of shakes (I have 1 a day).In my case, which again, will vary, I'd estimate I get +/-50 shakes out of it.

I would never replace a meal with any protein shake unless your on the go and need some fuel for your body. I would use this mostly as an after workout drink or in between meal snack.

Shake well before each use. It's a fabulous product that I've been using for years. Only a very small amount is needed.

If it's the one I think I have had before and want again, supposedly, you take it with water when you wake up and don't eat for (I think it's an hour? I wait half an hour or the caffeine gives me the jitters if it kicks in full force before I eat). So in that (half)hour, it is digested and begins to debloat, energize, suppress cravings and a few other things. I find that I have a good amount of energy with just 3 pills a day - 2 in the morning and 1 an hour before lunch, again, I can be caffeine sensitive so I just take less, I have lost 20 lbs twice with this product. I find it gives me energy and focus and I find myself having to either force myself to eat or to remember to eat because you can't starve your body on this product or you end up feeling like a meth head because you can stay up for days at a time. Not good. Eat healthy stuff that comes from trees or the ground more than anything else (look into super foods - they changed my life!) but this product is great when I can't always get to the gym and I'm running in between my 3 jobs, it's like taking a pill to burn calories in place of the gym time I don't have. But it doesn't work if you eat junk/overly processed foods or a lot of white flour. I feel like it just cancels out a bad diet.

In the evening when I fix my lunch for the next day, I mix up 2 shakes with 1/2 cold coffee (from the morning of that day) and 1/2 milk (as a bonus, I get my caffeine mix straight away). Sometimes I add a banana with it. I put them in the fridge and have one pre-workout as I workout in the mornings, and take the other to work that day. I have had better tasting shakes this way rather than mix straight away. I also often add a spoonful of natural peanut butter. The combinations there really taste great. The coffee gives it a mocha coffee flavor, really good! This is regular chocolate flavor, I have yet to try the chocolate peanut flavor.

To me it taste great and is a staple in my diet around an ounce a day. For some this quantity is too much. Also it is not a food you have on its own. How do you have it, for example mix with banana and papaya and Tahini in shake. Some people like it with Miso in hot water. while it has all the nutrients, it needs to be taken with other foods to give an alchemical balance, i.e., so that it is not a bland energy.I just noticed that you are having tablets. The powder is much better for mixing with other foods. Tablets are not that great.

I usually take it just before I go to the Gym in the morning. I find that I can exercise longer without getting to exhausted.As it gives you a feeling of wellness to take it toward bedtime should be ok especially if you have had a long day.I recommend taking in the morning to see what effect it has on you.

I guess it's preference. I always take a protein shake right after working out so I put my creatine in there

I love this stuff! I lost 45 pounds using it over about 6 months. I still drink one shake a day and have maintained my weight loss for more than a year. I also added an exercise routine, but that felt easy once I started with the weight loss.

you could take it before workout if you are working out in fasting state. During and post workout it helps in muscle recovery and reduces onset of DOMS

The capsaicin fruit (the spicy grit at the bottom of the cup) is supposed to speed up your metabolism. It may help in loosing some weight, Although I have not noticed it specifically. I believe it would be more from the length or intensity of your workout where you would see results. I have been using this product on and off for about 3 months and love the energy it gives me at the gym. Best pre-workout supplement I'v tried.

It's one of those supplement that you can take 2 times a day and thy recommend that so u go thru the pills faster, but I do once a day about 30-45 min before workout because they mostly help u get a better workout. If I don't workout I just take it once a day. It's 3 pills per dose

I work out before I go to bed. I usually drink it on my commute home from work and it seems to kick in about the time I begin my workout. I'm doing P90X3 Mass right now, so some of the workouts are pretty extreme as far as exerting energy, and I'm able to go to bed after and not have trouble sleeping but I wouldn't call it a "crash". So, I'm not sure that it would carry you throughout the day, but I've used it as a pick me up on the weekends if I'm trying to get some project done around the house and it works well.

Mix it in a blender! Always it will turn just about anything into a shake, or tastes like a shake!
