Hlth Code Complete Meal shake is a low carb and keto meal replacement powder with no added sugar. Simply put the Hlth Code shake powder in a blender bottle with water, shake it up, and enjoy. In this honest Hlth Code review, we’ll answer “Is Hlth Code healthy?” Also, you’ll learn about the ingredients in Hlth Code, the flavors, where to buy, and more.

➕ Health Code Complete Meal Review

Hlth Code meal replacement shakes are 400 calorie drinks that provide micronutrients, not just macros and calories. These complete meal replacement shakes can be used for weight loss, but I think they’re perfect for emergency food storage as well. Health Code meal replacement powder comes in two flavors:

• Creamy Vanilla
• Chocolate Macadamia

We liked the vanilla Hlth Code the best, I think it tastes like delicious cake batter. The chocolate macadamia Hlth Code was a bit too sweet for my preferences. Some Hlth Code shake reviews recommend mixing the two flavors together to make it more palatable if you don’t like one or the other that much.

You get about 15 meals per bag, which you can keep in the freezer to prolong the shelf life. Hlth Code recommends starting with one shake per day to give your body time to adjust. After that you can enjoy two shakes per day, but you shouldn’t replace more than two daily meals with Hlth Code.

How do you make a HLTH code shake?

The easiest way to make a Health Code shake is to use their insulated blender bottle. It is BPA-free, leak proof, and comes with a blender ball for smooth, clump-free shakes that are not gritty. It’s perfect for using during power outages because no electricity is needed.

Be sure to wash the bottle before using it. The lid is dishwasher safe, but you do need to handwash the cup and blender ball. Do not use the shaker bottle for hot or carbonated drinks.

Here is the step-by-step process to make a HLTH Code shake:

1. Place the blender ball, 8 ounces of cold water, and two scoops of HLTH Code powder in the clean blender bottle. (There is a scoop included in the bag.)

2. Close and lock the lid of the blender bottle, then shake it up good! After shaking, unlock the lid, push the button to open the bottle, and enjoy. So easy!

To make your Hlth Code shake thick, blend it with ice and milk instead of water in a food processor or blender. Alternatively, reduce the water in the recipe.

Hlth Code Ingredients

Here are the ingredients in the creamy vanilla Hlth Code powder:

• Protein Blend (whey protein concentrate, grass fed collagen, egg whites)
• Healthy Fats Blend (coconut oil powder, olive oil powder, medium chain triglycerides powder, flaxseed powder, cocoa butter fat, grass fed ghee)
• Soluble Non-GMO Vegetable Fiber
• Nutrose
• Natural Flavors
• Apple Cider Vinegar Powder
• Sunflower Lecithin
• Inulin
• Redmond Real Salt
• Xanthan Gum
• Digestive Enzyme Blend (alpha and beta amylase, protease I, protease II, lipase, lactase hemicellulase, cellulase, invertase, diastase)
• Stevia Leaf Extract
• Monk Fruit Extract
• Lactobacillus acidophilus

Here are the ingredients in the chocolate macadamia Hlth Code powder:

• Protein Blend (whey protein concentrate, grass fed collagen, egg whites)
• Healthy Fats Blend (coconut oil powder, olive oil powder, medium chain triglycerides powder, flaxseed powder, cocoa butter fat, grass fed ghee)
• Cocoa Powder
• Soluble Non-GMO Vegetable Fiber
• Nutrose
• Natural Flavors
• Apple Cider Vinegar Powder
• Sunflower Lecithin
• Inulin
• Redmond Real Salt
• Xanthan Gum
• Digestive Enzyme Blend (alpha and beta amylase, protease I, protease II, lipase, lactase hemicellulase, cellulase, invertase, diastase)
• Monk Fruit Extract
• Stevia Leaf Extract
• Lactobacillus acidophilus

In short, the ingredients in both Hlth Code flavors are the same, except the chocolate flavor has added cocoa powder and the order of the monk fruit and stevia are flipped in the ingredients list. Both Hlth Code varieties are gluten free with no artificial sweeteners and no artificial ingredients.

Both Hlth Code shakes have no sugar alcohols. Instead, monk fruit and stevia are used as sources of sweetness. Whey, collagen, and egg whites are used as protein source in Hlth Code, so these products are not vegan.

The (self-proclaimed) healthy fats blend contains powdered sources of fats that tend to undergo less processing. This includes coconut oil, olive oil, flax, and ghee butter. These protein powders also include digestive enzymes and probiotics.

💪 Is Hlth Code Shake Healthy?

I think HLTH Code is a fine option for a fast and nutrient-dense meal as part of an overall healthy balanced diet. HLTH Code provides macronutrients, fiber for gut health, as well as essential vitamins and minerals needed for lean muscle mass, focus, and an overall healthy body. Its low carb content may make it an easier fit for those managing their blood sugar in diabetes than sugary drinks.

Hlth Code Downsides

One downside, IMO as a registered dietitian, is that I’m not seeing anything about third party testing on the Health Code site. Like many other food supplements, this product is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, or for children (source). Ask your doctor before starting this product if you’re taking prescription medications.

My other complaint is that the literature that comes with the shake mix has a clear low-carb bias, and recommends limiting nutritious foods such as pineapple and mango. (They also recommend stopping counting calories because “it doesn’t work long-term.” Hmmm, though not the right approach for everyone, somehow I’ve managed to keep 70 lbs off for over 10 years this way without a keto diet. 😉)

They also recommend avoiding highly processed seed oils (such as soybean oil) and fasting for at least 12 hours per day. Neither of these are necessary for weight loss. That said, I don’t have an issue with cutting back on seed oils, because they are ubiquitous and typically overconsumed in the American diet.

The HLTH Code shake mixes are fairly high in saturated fat. In terms of mainstream nutrition advice, it is monounsaturated and unsaturated fat that are typically thought of as heart healthy fats. Though I have no issue with using moderate amounts of coconut oil, butter, and other saturated fat sources in a healthy diet, modifying the formula to contain less saturated fatty acids and more monounsaturated fatty acids may be more ideal.

Three 400 calorie meals per day (i.e., 1200 calories daily) isn’t enough calories for most adults, even those trying to lose weight. I would have preferred using real sugar instead of stevia and monkfruit to bump up the calories a little, and I bet it would make it taste even better.

Does Hlth Code help you lose weight?

Hlth Code can help with weight loss if it aids you in maintaining a calorie deficit over time. You can also use Hlth Code to gain weight if it’s part of a diet where you maintain a calorie surplus.
