I think you will LOVE this chocolate almond bliss smoothie! It’s Trim Healthy Mama compliant and both dairy-free and gluten-free! Enjoy Renew Life Skinny Gut Ultimate Shakes! 
Several weeks back, representatives for Skinny Gut Shake, a high protein nutritional supplement, emailed me and asked me to review their product.
At first, I said no.
We sent several emails back and forth, with me turning them down at least twice. Finally, I said I wanted more information on their shake.
I am very particular about the types of products I review on this site and the supplements that I both use and endorse. I turn down many review requests because being able to authentically recommend a product is important to me. 
There are so many sub-par “nutritional shakes” on the market today, and I didn’t want to agree to review something that wasn’t up to my standards.
I’m so glad Skinny Gut was persistent and kept emailing me back because I couldn’t be more impressed with their shake!
In fact, I liked it so much that, after trying the free sample they sent me, I actually went ahead and purchased the Renew Life Skinny Gut Vanilla Shake with my most recent Vitacost order! (Click here to get a $5 off coupon with your first Vitacost order!)
My standards for protein shakes include that they must be organic and GMO-free. Skinny Gut shakes meet both of these, and they also come with some amazing nutrients!
In fact, each serving of a Skinny Gut shake includes:
- 20 grams of Organic, Grain-free Protein from seeds and legumes to help build muscle*
- 10 grams of Prebiotic Organic Fiber, including acacia fiber, to help curb appetite by helping you feel full*
- 10 Billion live Ultimate Flora™ Probiotic cultures, providing specially selected strains to support healthy gut balance*
- Organic Fruit and Veggie Antioxidant blend plus vitamins and minerals to nourish cells*
- Full-spectrum Digestive Enzyme blend to support healthy digestion and help optimize nutrient availability*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Skinny Gut shakes are also:
- Low fat and low calorie
- Available in delicious natural vanilla and chocolate flavors
- Contain no artificial ingredients or preservatives
- Contain no added sugar
- are gluten & dairy free
- contain no GMOs
- are USDA organic
- are vegan
If you’re looking to lose weight, Skinny Gut nutritional supplements, along with lifestyle changes, promote digestive system balance to help achieve your ideal weight.
With 0 grams of sugar per serving and just 2.5 grams of fat, a full scoop/serving of Skinny Gut powder would be Trim Healthy Mama compliant for an E, and a 1/2 serving would be compliant for a S (based on the carb counts)–depending on what other ingredients you are including in the shake. 
Chocolate Almond Bliss Smoothie
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, and Trim Health Mama compliant with some modifications.*
Chocolate Almond Bliss Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 serving Renew Life Skinny Gut Chocolate Shake
- 10 ounces unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp. almond butter
- dash of ground cinnamon
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a blender (I used my beloved Blendtec!). For an even more intense chocolate taste, add some raw cacao powder!
Notes
To make this shake Trim Health Mama compliant, you can use 1/2 serving of Skinny Gut powder to make it a S or substitute the almond butter with 1 tsp. defatted peanut flour to make it an E.

Why would a full scoop not be acceptable for an S meal with only 3 grams of NET carbs?k
Erin
Hmmmm….I guess I was just counting the total carbs, Tami! LOL I might need to go back and read my book! Each scoop contains 20 grams of protein, so I guess I am also looking at it as a money-saving factor. If you use a 1/2 scoop, you still get 10 grams of protein (which is a lot still!), and you are doubling how long it will last. I love all the other nutrients too! I hope you enjoy it!

Sounds delicious! We absolutely love smoothies!!

When I tried to order the Skinny Gut,
at checkout, it said the code was not valid. I would like to try it, there another code?
Erin
Hi Brenda! Are you trying to order from Vitacost? Is that the code you are referring to? When you click on the Vitacost link, you should get information on how to sign up for the $10 off coupon. It is $10 off a $30 purchase and must be your first purchase to Vitacost. I hope that makes sense!
Jaime
That looks really good! I’m very fond of a classic peanut butter and banana smoothie… maybe with a bit of ice cubes to give it a little crunch. =)
Erin
Yum! That’s one of my favorites too!
Angela C.
This is a great Cdn company! I’ve used lots of their products and find them to be very effective:)
Erin
Awesome! Great to know you have been impressed too! I was skeptical but they won me over!
Laura
Hey- I feel like I remember you posting about a soy free protein shake you recommended at Costco/or Sam’s but can’t find that post. Was that you, and if so, could you please tell me what it was?
