Visalus encourages healthy eating habits and refers customers to their meal plan and product guide. While they do not recommend substituting shakes for fruits and vegetables, their Vi-Shape nutritional shake provides balanced nutrition from a variety of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber for less money and time than obtaining the same nutrients from whole foods. The document includes a comparison showing that one serving of the Vi-Shape shake contains similar nutrients to over $86 worth of whole foods containing over 6,000 calories.
