REÁLiS is made in our own Organic Certified, Gluten Free Certified facility in West Chicago IL.

The product is shelf-stable. You don't need to refrigerate it. Just store it in a cool dry environment between 50-75 ℉. Because we use a very sturdy multi-layered bag, the shelf-life unopened is 3 years (since the date of manufacturing). Once opened, we suggest you consume it within 3 months as there are no preservatives added. Please check the expiry date on the back of the bag as well.

Our facility is Kosher certified.

The timing really depends on your health goals and daily schedule. REÁLiS is great in the morning as a convenient, on-the-go breakfast. But it can also be a great speedy lunch if you need to power through your workday with minimal distractions; or a mid afternoon pick-me-up snack, or a convenient late-night dinner that won’t be too heavy and interfere with your sleep. 

If you want to use it more strategically—to fuel workouts or support muscle growth—you can consume REÁLiS as a pre- or post-workout meal. For maximum benefits, some research suggests consuming a combo of protein and healthy carbs 30 minutes to a couple hours before a workout, or within an hour after a workout is the most beneficial.

REÁLiS is super convenient and portable so you can carry with you in the field, at your desk, in your car or on your rounds.

Always check with your doctor first. Show them the ingredient list and nutrition panel. Because REÁLiS is top 8 allergen free and made from pure whole food ingredients, it should be safe to consume, but we always recommend to play it safe. If you doc gives you the green light then REÁLiS can be a valuable resource to help get the additional calories, vitamins and minerals needed during pregnancy.

You should check with your doctor first. To be safe, send them our nutrition label and ingredient list to review. If your doc gives you the green-light to consume REÁLiS, but you need more calories, you can always use the two scoop 400 calorie option and/or load up your shake with additional nutrient-dense ingredients like avocado, nut butters, banana, or berries.

REÁLiS is made with only real whole food ingredients, as well; as top-8 Allergen Free, so it is safe to consume for just about anyone. Nevertheless, it is always a good idea to share the nutrition facts panel and ingredient list with your pediatrician to be sure.

There are a LOT of ways to mix REÁLiS. The easiest most convenient way is to mix it in a shaker/blender bottle. Add the powder water, or any kind of milk or juice. If you want to add fruit or nut butters for a smoothie, then we recommend a blender at high speed for about 20 seconds. If you don’t have a shaker or blender readily available, a good old fashioned glass and spoon will work just fine! Use the amount of powder and liquid recommended on the package for the best results.

Yes. REÁLiS tastes delicious mixed with just water, but any kind of milk takes the creaminess to a whole other level.

REÁLiS helps control hunger for hours. Most people need 2,000-2,500 calories a day to maintain their current weight, so with both a 200 calorie and a 400 calorie option, REÁLiS can be used to fill in 1 or 2 melas per day. BUT, we don't recommend using ANY product as your only source of nutrition, especially long term. There are a number of “meal replacement" companies promoting the idea that you should only consume their product.This is nonsense. Everyone else in the nutrition community would agree that you should get your nutrients from a wide variety of sources. As an example, you can use REÁLiS during the day to intentionally replace fast food meal options, as well as to affordably and conveniently fill in the gaps in your meal planning where you have them. Then at night go home and eat a traditional meal.

It really depends on your overall diet. Many customers have shared that replacing one daily meal with REÁLiS has helped them achieve their goals, such as weight management, but it's not meant to be a quick-fix diet shake. It's intended to support long-term, overall health.

Feedback from our customers confirms that REÁLiS helps keep them full and satisfied. When we formulated REÁLiS, our goal was to create a perfect balance of macros by optimizing levels of protein, fiber, and healthy fats,These are the key nutrients that help balance blood sugar and control hunger. Because of this, you may be less likely to overeat or gain weight. Using REÁLiS to replace fast food meals can not only help you to save a lot of money, but will also help you with your weightless goals.

On the other hand, if you actually want to gain weight, there’s no reason you can’t use REÁLiS to add the additional calories you need to put on mass, especially the 400 calorie option. There are also many tasty ways to add additional calories to your smoothie (nut butters, frozen banana, avocado, etc) to get even more nutritional density.
