Top Keto Meal Shakes vs the Best Low Carb Shakes

In this article, you will find two sets of recommended meal replacement shakes: ketogenic meal replacements and low-carb shakes.

“What is the difference between them?” you might think.

In short, the amount of net carbohydrates that the shake will have will dictate if it is a keto shake or a low-carb shake:

• On one side, ketogenic shakes will have extremely low carbohydrate content, which will push your body into a ketosis state (where your body uses fat to fuel).
• Low-carb shakes, on the other hand, will still have low carbohydrate content when compared to the government recommendations; but will not be enough to push you into ketosis.

Best Keto Shakes

1. HLTH Code Complete Meal – Best Keto Shake

For anybody that’s looking for a keto shake that’s slightly richer in protein, Complete Meal by HLTH will be a godsent.

This creamy and delicious keto shake, includes 27g of protein from whey, egg whites and collagen. A mix that will provide you with a complete amino acid profile.

Besides, you will only get 4g of net carbs, no added sugars or sugar alcohols that could break your ketosis. Instead, the shakes are sweetened with natural sweeteners (monk fruit and stevia).

Plus, you will get healthy fats from coconut oil, olive oil, MCT powder, and flaxseed… This will ensure you get your energy (MCTs) and your essential fats (omega-3s).

All of this in a yummy thin shake that’s available in two flavors: Chocolate Macadamia (my favorite) and Creamy Vanilla. Both are less oily and sweeter than their counterparts, and without a doubt, some of the best-tasting keto shakes on the market.

Get started from only $4/meal; or subscribe for a 20% discount ($3.3 per meal!). HLTH offers free US shipping!

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 400
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 12/18/70

2. Sated Naturally Sweetened – Editor’s Choice

Sated offers the best ketogenic meal replacement shake in my opinion: very low net carbs (down to 1.3g per 400kcal), affordable pricing and includes everything you need.

This last is important, since many brands cut costs by not including the oils; which makes it more troublesome for the user. With Sated, you will get a custom oil mix with a balanced blend of oils that include 1:1 omega-3/-6 ratio (ideal) and MCTs to boost your energy levels.

Thus, this makes it one of the best keto meal replacement shakes for weight loss; since it won’t require you to add anything extra.

You will be able to purchase in bags of 30 meals. These include the keto meal powder with proteins, fibers and micronutrients; plus, the oil.

30 meals will only cost you $90; and you can reduce it by 20% when you subscribe. This means that Sated powder is one of the most affordable keto shakes at $2.40 per meal!

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 400
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 3/18/79
• Net Carbs (g): 1.3g (varies with flavours)
• Protein (g): 18g
• Fat (g): 35g
• Allergens: Milk
• Unwanted ingredients: Erythritol
• Flavors available: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Peaches & Cream.

3. Basically Food Burn – Best Vegan Keto Shake

BasicallyFood Burn is the old and beloved SuperBodyFuel Keto Fuel. This is a formula that has been praised by the community since 2014, and is one of the oldest keto meal replacement shakes in the market.

The recipe for success is simple: affordable pricing, adapting the formula listening to customer feedback, and a hypoallergenic formula. This is, BasicallyFood Burn is gluten-free, soy-free, lactose-free and vegan friendly.

It contains 25g of protein from rice, and only 1-2g of net carbs per meal. It also includes MCT oil, and L-lysine to take into account for the deficiency in this amino acid in rice protein. On top of that, it’s one of the best sources of omega-3 in any keto shake, with high quality algal DHA omega-3, that you usually need to supplement.

You will have to add your own oil or cream to make it complete, but it comes with handy guidelines on how to do so.

This might make the texture suboptimal, when compared to our top picks, but still allows you to change the flavor and consistency depending the oil or cream you add.

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 450*
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 5/20/75
• Net Carbs (g): 1.0g
• Protein (g): 20
• Fat (g): 31g
• Allergens: None
• Unwanted ingredients:
• Flavors available: Chocolate, Cinnamon, Vanilla, and Plain

4. Proganics Keto Shake

The truth is that there are very few fully organic keto shakes. In fact, Proganic’s Keto Shake might be the only one in the world.

It’s certified as USDA and ACO, and it’s the brand’s focus to provide you only with high-quality ingredients.

However, this is not why they deserve to be on this best keto list. I put them here because they offer a great quality product from a nutritional standpoint and a more natural option. These keto shakes have no artificial vitamins and minerals or sweeteners, and this makes them more gut-friendly.

I would’ve liked to see Proganics Keto Shakes providing all the vitamins and minerals. Instead, they offer only those which you can source from food; which are usually better absorbed by your body. These shakes will still provide you with 50% RDI of B Vitamins and Zinc, plus 40% RDI of Iron.

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 266
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 13/22/65
• Net Carbs (g): 1g
• Protein (g): 15g
• Fat (g): 19g
• Allergens:
• Unwanted ingredients: None
• Flavors available: Vanilla and Chocolate

5. Ketochow – Most Flavor Variety

This keto meal replacement powder is one of the better-known products in the community.

It is a familiar brand with close ties to the community. However, the most remarkable feature is the 21 flavours that they have available!

These include standard options like Chocolate and Vanilla; but also more exotic choices like Cookies & Cream, Strawberry or Salted Caramel. On top of that, they also offer savory flavors!

All of them were highly praised by the community with 87% (10,000) 5-star votes, and when tested, I thought they were pretty good, albeit a little sweet.

However, it must be noted that you will be required to add your own oil, since KetoChow does not provide any. That said, there are multiple guides and serving instructions on the site that can help you figure out the best combinations.

Besides, considering that this is one of the cheapest meal replacement shakes when it comes to keto shakes, I think that KetoChow is a winner.

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 533
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 5/20/75
• Net Carbs (g): 1.5g
• Protein (g): 26g
• Fat (g): 44g
• Allergens: Milk, and Egg
• Unwanted ingredients: None
• Flavors available: Apple Pie, Banana, Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Toffee, Cookies and Cream, Eggnog, Limited Edition, Meringue, Mocha, Natural Strawberry, Orange Cream, Peaches and Cream, Pistachio, Pumpkin Spice Caramel, Raspberry, Rootbeer, S’moores, Salted Caramel, Snickerdoodle, Strawberry, Vanilla, Chicken Soup, Creamy Tomato Basil, Spicy Taco, and Beef Soup.

1. Sated Ready To Drink – Best RTD Keto Shake

Sated’s Ready to Drink Keto meal is the easiest, most convenient and tastiest keto drink. An incredible combo for this smooth and superb tasting shake.

Nutritionally, the RTD will provide you with all you would want.: 75% fats, only 1.3g of net carbs, less than 1g of sugar, and 18g of protein. All with the vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

On the downside, convenience has an added cost. Each bottle will cost you $6 initially. However, you can easily lower this to $4.0 with bulk and subscription discounts.

All in all, an extremely enjoyable keto meal, that I highly recommend.

Key Facts

• Kcal/serving: 400
• Macros (Carb/Protein/Fat): 3/18/79
• Net Carbs (g): 1.3g
• Protein (g): 18g
• Fat (g): 34g
• Allergens: Milk
• Unwanted ingredients: Erythritol

Good For: those looking for the most convenient and tastiest meal.

Best Keto Shake Powders in Europe

What Happens if You Live in the EU?

Ketogenic and low-carb diets are most popular in the US. As such, the offer outside North America is currently very limited.

But for a shortlist of my top European keto shakes:

1. Satislent Keto, by Satislent.
2. HLTH Complete Meal by HLTH Code.
3. NUUT Keto, if you are looking for a more expensive option.

As you can see, unfortunately, the offer is much more limited in terms of ketogenic options in Europe. Do not worry, though, as I will be updating the list when new options arise.

There are many brands that are currently looking to expand their offering in this direction; therefore, I would expect a much richer keto meal market in the future in Europe.

Best Keto Protein Shakes & Best Keto Protein Powders

However, if you are not looking for the top keto meal shakes, you might be interested in the best keto protein powders.

In case you are unsure, these are the key differences between protein powders and meal replacements:

	Keto Meal Drinks	Keto Protein Powders
Kcal	~400	~150
Objective	Replace a meal	Provide a protein boost
Protein (g)	15-25	20+
Other Nutrients	Fats, Carbs, Vitamins, Minerals	No in significant amounts
Is Complete?	Yes	No

In short, one is meant to increase your protein intake; thus it’s better used after workouts. While the other is designed to replace full meals, thus it contains all the essential nutrients your body needs.

Once I have cleared out this common misconception, let’s look at what the best keto protein powder is. Here are my top 4 keto protein shakes:

1. My Protein Whey Isolate

If you are looking for the best protein shake for keto diet; you should be looking at whey protein isolates. These offer you almost 0g of carbs, and the gold standard of protein sources: whey.

As such, with Impact Whey Isolate you will get a great-tasting protein shake, that will provide you with 23g of top-quality protein. Consequently, you will be able to get a balanced set of amino acids that are easily absorbable by your body.

All of this, with 0.6g of carbs per serving! Basically, a zero-carb protein powder.

In my experience, Natural Vanilla and Chocolate are the best flavours. Many of the others have fancy names, but can be a little too sweet and overwhelming.

These become frothy and milky; so if you have a MCT oil or a creamer you want to add, it will be an excellent addition, too.

Nutrition

• Energy (kcal): 93kcal
• Protein: 23g
• Carbs: 0.6g
• Of which sugars: 0.6g
• Fat: 0.1g
• Salt: 0.13g

Good For: those wanting an affordable whey isolate.

2. Diet 90% Whey Isolate

This is another great nutritional company based in the UK; that does awesome protein powders. Their specialty is great nutrition with superb flavour options.

In this case, Diet Whey Isolate 90 is the perfect keto-friendly protein powder. Each serving has only 0.5-1.2g of carbs, 23g of protein and 92kcal.

As for the taste, these are frothy and milky shakes; since the background flavour of the whey is hard to mask. However, I find them truly enjoyable, in particular the chocolate-based flavours.

On top of that, if you want something with even less carbs, you have the 95% Diet Whey Isolate; although for most, it won’t be worth the extra cost.

Nutrition

• Energy (kcal): 92kcal
• Protein: 23g
• Carbs: 0.5g
• Of which sugars: 0.6g
• Fat: 0.3g
• Salt: 0.19g

Good For: those who want great tasting shakes.

3. Wondershake – Best Vegan Keto Protein Shake

Wondershake is a protein shake that blew me out of the water. I’ve been a heavy advocate of whey based protein powders (better taste and amino acid profiles); but Wondershake proved me wrong.

Even though, most keto followers won’t really care if it’s vegan or not; Wondershake is a perfectly fine keto protein shake, either way. It contains only 1.3g of net carbs per drink, 90kcal and 22g of protein.

In this case, TheProteinWorks uses a 4 plant blend: pea protein isolate, soy protein isolate, hemp protein and brown rice protein. Despite the fact that on its own they all fail nutritionally and taste wise when compared to whey, together they are much better.

Furthermore, Wondershake has a better consistency (slightly thicker) than whey based shakes, and also an improved taste.

If you are willing to expend extra, I highly recommend Cookies N’ Cream. Absolutely delightful.

Nutrition

• Energy (kcal): 89kcal
• Protein: 22g
• Carbs: 1.3g
• Of which sugars: 0.6g
• Fat: 0.7g
• Salt: 0.46g

Good For: those who want a great keto protein shake.

4. Perfect Keto Collagen

As an alternative to whey protein, you can also enjoy Perfect Keto’s Collagen Protein. While whey is better to promote lean mass gain and significantly boost your protein intake; collagen helps you with the digestive system, hair and joints. This is due to the different amino acid profiles.

Thus, you can have Perfect Keto’s collagen protein together with some of the above mentioned.

What sets Perfect Keto’s product apart from similar alternatives is the lack of gritty texture and enhanced flavour of the shakes. On top of that, they also add with top quality MCTs to provide you with some extra energy.

Good For: those looking to for a collagen protein.

The Worst Keto Meal Replacement Shakes – DO NOT BUY

What about Atkins Keto shakes? Or Slimfast Keto? Could you use either of those and save some money?

No, personally I wouldn’t. These popular keto shakes are filled subpar ingredients and with tricks to make it look like they are keto friendly. However, in reality, they are full of hidden carbs and provide you with very little quality nutrition.

For instance, Atkins Keto shakes have only 5g of fats and instead, they are filled with protein. This is not a good way to get your energy on a Keto diet. Plus, they lack essential oils (omega-3), have no MCTs or PUFAs and their fat choices are atrocious.

What about Slimfast’s Keto shakes then? No bueno. Once again, no sign of omega-3 fatty acids (you need them for proper brain functioning). Furthermore, they lack the necessary vitamins and minerals and only provide you with a handful.

Do yourself a favour, and spend a little more to get some of the best keto drinks listed above!

Types of Keto Meal Replacements

There’s more than one keto meal replacement shake, as you might have noticed.

• Keto Powder Shake – All in One: this is the best type of keto powder shakes in my opinion, since you only need to add water and they are ready for consumption.
• Keto Powder Meals – Add Oil. Unlike previous ones, in this one you are required to add oil or heavy cream (fat source) to your powder. There are two main issues with this approach: firstly, you need to find a good balance of oils; and secondly, you need to measure the oil so you don’t add extra calories. However, it can also be cheaper.
• Premade Keto Shakes. Similarly to the powders, you only need to add water. However, these are already packaged in a bottle, so you don’t need to scoop and measure the powder.
• Ready-to-Drink Keto Shakes. They are very rare, but they are the most convenient (and expensive option). You don’t have to worry about anything, just open the cap and drink.

How to Make the Ideal Keto Shake

I will add this section for those shakes that might not provide any fats. In theory, if you are using a keto drink that already has all the macros (e.g. Ample K), you will not need to do this step.

Truthfully, it is not complicated to get a good keto meal replacement shake recipe. All you need is the following:

• A keto meal replacement powder.
• The right fat source: oils, heavy cream, butter…
• Water.
• Toppings or flavourings: cinnamon, keto protein powder, keto maple syrup, cocoa powder, peanut butter, keto creamer…

Afterward, all you need to do is to mix them in a blender (or shaker) and boom! There’s your easy keto meal recipe!

Finding the Right Oil

In fact, you might find that the ideal oil might be hard to find. Not only you need to look at the composition of each oil, but you also need to consider how it will affect the taste.

As such, for beginners I would recommend using the oil you have at home. This is likely to be a vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, avocado) which will be high in monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. When using these oils, I would recommend you taking omega-3 supplements. Otherwise, make sure to consume omega-3 rich foods elsewhere in your diet.

For more advance users, you might want to create your own oil mix using multiple oil sources. A very common mix in the industry to achieve a good balance of omega-3/6 and monounsaturated fatty acids is sunflower with flaxseed (canola oil). Basically, any of the previous vegetable oils with flaxseed. Nutritionally, fish oil might be slightly better, though, as an omega-3 source.

Glossary

I think that this article might be full of words that are a little confusing to the user. As such, here is a little glossary with some of the terms around keto diets:

• Net Carbs. Net carbs is a term used to calculate the amount of carbohydrates that your body will efficiently use as fuel. Usually, it is calculated by subtracting the fiber from the total carb. Eg. 10g of total carb with 8 grams of fiber. Net carbs in this case would be 2g. Net carbs are important in keto, because you will have to maintain them under 20g or ~5% of your caloric intake.
• Sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are counted as carbohydrates but do not provide any calories. They are often used as sweeteners or thickeners and do not count towards net carbs in a keto diet. However, you might want to avoid some due to adverse gut effects.
• Ketones. Ketone bodies are chemicals produced by your liver from the fat in your body when you do not have enough carbohydrates to provide you energy. Subsequently, ketones can be used by your body to generate energy for the cells. While following a keto diet, your ketone levels will be higher than usual.
• Endogenous ketones. Endogenous ketones are ketone bodies that your body naturally produces as a byproduct of being in ketosis.
• Exogenous ketones. Exogenous ketones are synthetic ketone bodies that supplement companies will offer in order to enter ketosis faster. This claims are dubious and I would advice against buying any.
• MCT. Medium chain triglycerides are a type of saturated fatty acids that your body can use as quick energy, due to the fast absorption rate. In a ketogenic diet, MCTs are used to provide you with some immediate energy, but they are not necessary. They can cause some intestinal discomfort.
• Electrolytes. These are minerals that have an electric charge. They are present naturally in food; as such, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Because while you are on ketosis, you will excrete more electrolytes in your urine, you will see electrolyte supplements available. Make sure you drink enough fluid and only supplement if you feel lightheaded.
• Keto flu. This is a condition some users might experience, particularly during the adaptation period (first few days). Symptoms include, fatigue, headache and concentration issues. Adding some electrolytes and water to your diet might help.
