Summary: Yoli is a Multi Level Marketing product and because of this may potentially have higher mark-ups. This extra money is usually used to pay distributors instead of going back into the quality of the product.
In Yoli’s case however, we were surprised to find such high quality ingredients at this price point. Yoli’s whey protein, called Purawhey™, is biologically active and minimally processed. With this foundation, Yoli adds extra natural ingredients for increased nutrient density and uses no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors. We love seeing stevia in the mix as it’s a natural herb with no known side effects that really does the job.
The problem for companies is that stevia costs substantially more than artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, or maltodextrin (think Splenda, Equal, etc). Hormone-free whey, natural sweeteners, etc. are always a great indicator of the quality of the product. You need to ask yourself on each shake you evaluate — Did the company dilute the proteins with soy or other inexpensive proteins just to save a buck? Or did they go the full mile and use more expensive proteins like whey and more pricey sweeteners like stevia?
Conclusion
It is hard to find any problems at all with the quality of this product. It is up there with the best. The price point is a bit higher than some other quality shakes, but it is not all that significant.

Healthy weight loss is approx. 1-2 pounds per week. Check with your physician before beginning a supplement program.
i am 40 years old, 130 lbs, 5″2″. I think Yoli only works for people 20lbs plus overweight. Im having this program for more than 2 weeks now, and i never lose an inch. I tried the program, it doesnt work. It doesn’t make me go till the second day. Fiber tabs that can buy at GMC works better than their Pure. Im on 1200 calories diet with it, still the same. Plus it’s very expensive, i don’t recommend it to anyone who are still on healthy BMI bracket.
Sadly, this is yet another example of deceptive pricing by putting forward a very small serving size. If you equal out the serving size of actual product in grams, you have higher fiber, quality protein, higher carbs, and lower fat in Isagenix, 310 shake, and shakeology. I do not understand the favoritism here, especially when Yoli, beachbody, and Isagenix all use network sales, something this web site claims to disfavor. Cost is a factor with high quality protein. All four might have equal ratings if they sold in equal sizes, rather than 1/2 servings offered by Yoli and 310. It gets low stars for the disappointing serving size. Meal replacements should not starve us.
We can only review products as far as they are advertised. If a recommended serving of one shake is less than another shake (in terms of grams), we review based on those recommended servings.
all your shakes are breakfast,, what about lunch and dinner? do you have anthing??
The shakes are for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whichever you choose 🙂
After trying Shakology and was not happy with the results, I’m so glad I was introduced to these amazing products, my life will never be the same! I have not only lost weight but my mental clarity is amazing and I love life! I will never switch I love the taste and how easy it is to follow the system!!!
is this shake gluten free?
According to their website, Yoli Yes is gluten free. http://yoli.com/yes/
Yoli has saved my life! After taking handfuls of medications for years I was able to completely get off from ALL medications within 3 months! It wasn’t just the shakes though, it was the whole system. It tastes wonderful and is so easy to follow. You can make it fit your lifestyle instead of fitting your life around it, which makes it very easy to stick to. I have been using for 5 1/2 months now and am down 50 lbs and 54 inches overall. Nothing has ever been this easy!!!
