“Overall taste i though was just ok. Unfortunatly the shakes they sent are all a month past expiration date so that may play into the just ok taste. Nobars were sent due to the stock issue and the shakes well all outdated wife wont even try the shake. The powder is good i like that alot but the overall experience with delivery and products sent we were quite dissapointed. Thank you for reading and have a Great day. JM”
“The website advertised the starter box as 28 meals, which I thought would mean all the food I need for 28 days (because I was looking for something I could eat every day, covering all my needs).
Of course in reality, each meal only covers 1/5 of daily requirements.
After some more research, it seems it's meant to be used with ~3-5 meals per day, so the starter box would only cover about a week of food.
54 euros/week is a bit much. Even buying with the bulk and subscriptions discount, I'm not sure it would be cheaper than normal food&cooking.
It does save time of course.
Still, aside from that, it tastes good. I still haven't tried the plenny shakes, but the drinks and bars taste good.”
“This box is an excellent way to get introduced to Jimmy Joy. I use this for breakfast and lunch. If I want an easy and quick meal, I’ll make a shake. Feel more like eating, I’ll have a bar. In a rush or want to quickly refuel after a workout, I’ll have a Plenny Drink.
In terms of taste, I would say they’re all fine. The shakes taste good even with water, usually if you mix regular protein powder with water, it’s just gross, but this works really well. The bars are not too sweet and not dry at all. The Plenny Drink tasted like cardboard the first sip, but transitioned into a very nice vanilla taste.
Summarized: healthy, easy, well priced and nice tasting. Will buy again!”
“While tastes and consumability are ok, with the exception of the vanilla bars that are WAY too sweet, both drinks and the bars are not what I expect of meal replacement products. This I need to clarify of course:
Starting with the Plenny Drinks: these are basically water with a lot of maltodextrine. This is far from suitable for any nutritional quality. The Plenny Shake (small bags) is a little better, but still nearly all of the carbohydrates come from maltodextrine. I hear the new composition found in the „big bags“ is better and contains no maltodextrine or isomaltulose, but it is not available in the starter box that I ordered to try Jimmy Joy.
Finally the Twenny Bars. I find these to be too big and containing too many calories. If you see a bar as a whole meal, then this is suitable, but I would guess most people, myself included, will use bars as a snack. Furthermore I find the composition suboptimal and both chocolate and especially vanilla are too sweet.
In conclusion, I find other meal replacement products more suitable for my needs and quality expectations. It is not the nutritional values that „on paper“ seem ok, its the source of the nutrients and the glycemic index and glycemic load of the product. Especially the massive use of maltodextrin as a cheap carbohydrate with a very high GI is a very bad idea. However, these are also more expensive and often come in fewer taste varieties.”
“With the starter pack, i could try each type of product and see wich one i would see me using frequently or not.
There is more than enough for several days or weeks and the price is very attractive while choosing between brands.”
“I grew up with a mom who always did shakes so I absolutely abhorred the powdery taste of those diet shakes. I tried Jimmy Joy and in comparison it tastes WAAAY better (and is also not a diet shake I guess). The Twenny bars were my lunch for a while and are actually delicious, could be less sweet. I tried the Plenny Drink and LOVED it, and the shake I use 1 scoop in the morning for breakfast and it keeps me going until lunch. I think I'm going to stick with the shake in the long run but the rest of the items taste good too. I have to wake up super early for work and this prevents me from having to wake up earlier to prepare breakfast.”
