</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Recently I was given the chance to review the new <span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=20025&oid=6849675" rel="nofollow">Slim-Fast</a></span> shakes!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I was excited because I've been a Slim-Fast fan for many years. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I had never tried the ready-made shakes, I've only used the powder, so this was fun!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span><img class="prodImage Shake" id="ctl00_ctl00_content_content_frag_fragment_2193_ctl00_ctl00_ProductImage" jquery1323622786402="12" src="http://www.slim-fast.com/Themes/Custom/images/products-dynamic/product-lg-13.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I tried the Creamy Milk Chocolate Shakes. I found they were creamy and definitely filling. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I thought the taste was not as good as the Slim-Fast powder shakes I usually make. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">The convenient to-go bottles were very handy though!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Slim-Fast has a 3-2-1 plan which is designed for easy and flexible weight loss.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">3 snacks a day, such as fruits, veggies, nuts or Slim-Fast snack bars</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">2 Slim-Fast shakes or meal bars</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">1 well-balanced 500-calorie meal</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">So easy!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">The products are easy to find in the pharmacy section at Wal-Mart, Target,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"> your local grocery store, or online at Amazon or the Slim-Fast store on Facebook! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"> There are so many flavors to choose from!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I like Slim-Fast because although I am currently at a healthy weight, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I could easily gain too much if I didn't watch what I eat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Slim-Fast helps me maintain without feeling hungry!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
