Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is a powdered meal replacement used for weight loss and weight maintenance within a calorie-controlled eating plan. The range at Elafiya includes Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, and Raspberry & White Chocolate.
This guide covers the current 500 g Turkey-market versions, with 19 servings per canister. Compare the four flavours, their ingredients and prepared-shake nutrition, then learn how much to use, which meals to replace and how to order internationally.
What is Herbalife Formula 1 shake?
Formula 1 is a powdered meal replacement for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It combines pea protein, fibre and 25 vitamins and minerals, and is mixed with milk to make a measured replacement meal.
The four flavours share the same meal-replacement purpose and preparation quantity. Their ingredients and calories differ, so flavour selection is also a chance to compare the specific formula. The powder comes in a resealable canister rather than individual sachets or a ready-to-drink bottle.
How to choose a Formula 1 flavour
Choose between Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, and Raspberry & White Chocolate by considering the flavour and ingredient differences together. Chocolate contains cocoa; Raspberry & White Chocolate combines two flavours; Vanilla and Banana are single-flavour options.
For an ingredient-based comparison, Banana uses gluten-free wheat dextrin, while the other three contain inulin. All four provide the same prepared-serving protein and fibre quantities. The calorie table below shows the remaining nutritional difference without changing the standard serving size.
Herbalife Formula 1 ingredients by flavour
The principal protein source in these four Turkey-market shakes is pea protein. Their ingredients also include fructose, safflower oil, gluten-free oat fibre, a vitamin and mineral blend, flaxseed powder and flavouring.
- Vanilla: 45% pea protein isolate, with inulin, gluten-free oat fibre and safflower oil. It contains flavouring and steviol glycosides.
- Chocolate: 45% pea protein isolate, with reduced-fat cocoa powder, inulin, gluten-free oat fibre and safflower oil. Its flavouring content is 2.65%.
- Banana: 45% pea protein isolate, with gluten-free wheat dextrin, gluten-free oat fibre and safflower oil. It uses natural flavouring and beta-carotene colouring.
- Raspberry & White Chocolate: 44.8% pea protein, with inulin, gluten-free oat fibre and safflower oil. It contains beetroot-red colouring and flavouring.
The formulas also contain vitamin and mineral ingredients, lecithins, thickening agents and plant powders including papaya, parsley, blueberry and pomegranate. All four contain sugar and sweetener. Pea protein provides their main protein component; the fibre ingredients form part of their meal-replacement composition.
The banana formula's gluten-free wheat dextrin is a distinct ingredient, even though the finished powder is labelled gluten-free. An ingredient's source and its gluten status are separate details when comparing products.
Calories and nutrition: compare the four shakes
With 26 g of powder and 250 ml of 1.5% fat semi-skimmed milk, each flavour provides 19 g of protein and 4 g of fibre. Prepared-shake calories vary by flavour.
| Flavour | Calories | Protein | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla | 226 kcal | 19 g | 4 g |
| Chocolate | 214 kcal | 19 g | 4 g |
| Banana | 226 kcal | 19 g | 4 g |
| Raspberry & White Chocolate | 215 kcal | 19 g | 4 g |
These figures include the milk. Chocolate has the lowest prepared-serving calories of these four versions. The same weight-loss meal-replacement approach applies across the range, so choose a flavour you enjoy while accounting for its serving values.
Adding fruit, nut butter or other ingredients changes the total calories and nutrients. Include those additions in your meal plan rather than using the table as the total for an altered recipe.
How to prepare Herbalife Formula 1
Mix 2 tablespoons of powder, weighing 26 g, with 250 ml of 1.5% fat semi-skimmed milk for one serving.
- Gently shake the closed canister before use to help prevent the powder from settling into lumps.
- Measure 26 g of powder and 250 ml of milk.
- Mix until evenly blended, using a shaker or blender.
The weight measurement gives a consistent portion because spoon sizes and how heavily they are filled can vary. The prepared shake takes the place of the selected meal.
Using Formula 1 for weight loss and maintenance
For weight loss, replace 2 main meals each day with prepared Formula 1 shakes within an energy-restricted diet, and eat one balanced main meal.
For weight maintenance after weight loss, replace 1 main meal each day with a prepared shake and eat two balanced main meals. Include other foods, sufficient fluids and regular physical activity as part of the overall plan.
The distinction is the number of meals replaced. Use the shake as the chosen meal rather than adding it on top of the meal you intended to replace.
When should you drink the shake?
You can use Formula 1 at breakfast, lunch or dinner, depending on which main meal you are replacing. There is no separate requirement to drink it a set number of minutes before a meal.
For example, a breakfast shake can replace breakfast on a busy morning. If your plan uses two replacement meals, select two main-meal times and retain a balanced food-based meal for the remaining one.
How long does a 500 g canister last?
A 500 g canister contains 19 full 26 g servings, with a small amount of powder remaining. At one serving daily, that is 19 days of use.
At two servings daily, it provides nine complete days plus one further serving. This serving calculation helps you choose how many canisters to order.
Is the powder vegan and gluten-free?
These four Turkey-market powders are made with vegan ingredients and are labelled gluten-free. They contain gluten-free oat fibre.
The standard preparation uses dairy milk, so the finished shake prepared that way is not vegan and contains milk. The nutrition figures above apply to that specific preparation.
Where are these Formula 1 shakes made?
These four 500 g Turkey-market versions are made in Italy and imported into Turkey by Herbalife International Ürünleri Tic. Ltd. Şti.
Formula 1 packs sold in different countries can have different weights, protein sources and preparation instructions. When comparing products, match the flavour, net weight and ingredient panel rather than relying on the Formula 1 name alone.
Storage and product identification
Store the canister in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. Keep the powder dry between servings.
Identify your chosen version by its flavour name, 500 g net weight, pea protein ingredient list and 25-vitamin-and-mineral description. The batch number, production date and best-before date are printed on the bottom of the canister. Packaging details help identify the version; appearance alone does not establish authenticity.

Herbalife Formula 1 shake FAQ
Which flavour should I choose for weight loss?
All four have the same meal-replacement purpose. Chocolate provides 214 kcal per prepared serving, Raspberry & White Chocolate 215 kcal, and Vanilla and Banana 226 kcal. Choose the taste you prefer within your calorie-controlled plan.
How much powder is needed for one shake?
Use 26 g, approximately two tablespoons, mixed with 250 ml of 1.5% fat semi-skimmed milk. The quantity is the same for all four flavours.
Can I prepare Formula 1 with water only?
The preparation for these versions uses milk. Water-only mixing does not match the stated meal-replacement recipe or the nutrition values shown above.
Is it a protein shake or a meal replacement?
Formula 1 is a meal replacement containing protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Prepare it with the specified milk quantity to use it as a replacement meal.
Do these flavours use pea or soy protein?
These four Turkey-market versions use pea protein. Products sold under the Formula 1 name in other markets may use a different protein source.
How many servings are in a 500 g canister?
There are 19 full servings: 19 days at one serving daily, or nine complete days plus one further serving at two daily.
Can I change flavours during my meal plan?
Yes. The stated portion and meal-replacement use are the same across these four flavours. Use the nutrition values for the flavour you prepare when counting your meal's calories.
Can I order the different flavours for Saudi Arabia?
