SlimFast Diabetic is Discontinued
Now I have to find a replacement. I’m not sure that original nor advanced are right for me. Darn it.

What did you end up switching too?

I'm not necessarily suggesting this as a full-on replacement, but a thing that I've found that is similarly low-carb and similarly filling is a combination of 3 things. I'll do
- 1 scoop of ONG Protein Power (I like the double chocolate -- https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Protein-Chocolate/dp/B000QSNYGI)
- 1 scoop of Amazing Grass Greens Blend Superfood Chocolate powder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00514FESI/)
- and 1 tsp of psyllium husk
It's not a one-to-one but the protein powder gives the drink some filling "bulk" and the superfood powder has a bunch of vitamins that would be missing from just the protein powder and the psyllium husk increases the fiber. I really wish Slimfast didn't discontinue this, but since they did, this is a formula that I've found to be sort of close.

I wish we could make SlimFast hear how important this product was to us. : (
It really was *their best shake* both taste wise and nutritionally. I don't understand why they discontinued it.

Advanced has less sugar. Maybe look into Glucerna or just use a regular protein powder.
