You only need to add oil if you are using the Classic Yokebe with Honey. The Chocolate and Strawberry powders have a different formulation which doesn’t require additional oil. The reason that you add oil is, it helps your body to absorb fat soluble vitamins. You only need to add half a teaspoon of vegetable oil to your shake, which you will not be able to notice when you have shaken it up with your shake.

We recommend not heating it as it can destroy the vitamins in the shake. Yokebe tastes its best when shaken and served cold or at room temperature.

The body needs fats for optimal care alongside carbohydrates and proteins. The recommendation is to use vegetable oil with a high level of unsaturated fatty acids such as sunflower, safflower or grape seed oil.

Using Yokebe as a meal replacement helps create a calorie deficit. Since these calories are suddenly not available, the body takes them out of its fat reserves. At the same time, the body continues to be supported by the high quality protein, which supports muscle mass.
