What is the best Herbalife Formula 1 flavour?
There is no single best flavour, but a few patterns come up again and again:
- If it is your first tub: choose Vanilla Cream. It is the most versatile, because you can turn it into almost anything by adding fruit, cinnamon, cocoa or coffee.
- If you want a treat every day: Cookie Crunch and Smooth Chocolate taste the most like a dessert.
- If you have your shake for breakfast: Café Latte replaces the flavour of your morning coffee (it is not a substitute for caffeine, though).
- If you get bored easily: buy two different flavours. The 2X Formula 1 bundle lets you pick a different flavour for each tub.
How do you make Formula 1 taste better?
The standard serving is 2 scoops (26g) mixed with 250ml of semi-skimmed milk or a plant-based alternative. A few simple tweaks make a big difference:
- Use cold milk and a few ice cubes, and blend for 20–30 seconds rather than shaking.
- Add half a banana or a handful of frozen berries for a thicker, smoothie-style texture.
- Oat milk makes the shake creamier; unsweetened almond milk makes it lighter.
- A pinch of cinnamon works with Vanilla Cream and Banana Cream; a teaspoon of instant coffee lifts Smooth Chocolate.

Is there a Formula 1 without lactose, gluten or soy?
Yes. Formula 1 Free From is made without gluten, lactose and soy. Make it with a plant-based drink rather than cow's milk if you are avoiding lactose.
