Remember, you’d have to consume all of that food in one meal, twice a day, to equal the nutrition supplied by the RVL Nutrition Shake Mix. And that would be followed by a 500-600 calorie dinner! That’s a lot of food.
So the RVL Nutrition Shake Mix (for breakfast and lunch) will provide you with a nutrient dense meal replacement (vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein), without having to consume so many calories in food.
