“As much as I love that you cut out sugars in this Big Bag, I have to say that it tastes horrible :-D but since I started mixing in all sorts of spices like tumeric, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and vanilla into the shake, it tastes okay. You guys could actually use those without increasing the sugar levels to make it tastier while at the same time adding ingredients that are good for you and that many people take as a supplement anyways.
Will buy again and use as a base for my own shakes :)”
“Would highly recommend Joylent to anyone in Australia. They're much better flavour-wise than AussieLent or any of the other competing brands we have. They also come out at about the rough same cost - just make sure to order at the limit of the 20kg stipulations to make the most of your order.
I always go banana myself if you want a flavour recommendation.”
“Ordering the first two bags was kind of a coincidence. I got the "beta" link from a reddit post and just gave it shot. To me "neutral" is by far the best taste, I consume a lot of Plenny, so it was just the right thing to order a huge bag of it. And the high amount of protein is also great.
Two or three weeks ago, I ran out of "Active" and ordered two Big Bags again.
I don't know if you guys changed something, but this time I'm really unhappy about it. It feels a lot heavier than "Active", like, it feels like it's even slowing me down.
Working out after 600kcal (my usual "before" intake) of the Big Bag felt like I ate a kilogram of lasagna. And after my workout I still felt full.
Yesterday my regular "Active" order arrived, and I drank 600kcals of it before working out and it felt like the energy was instantly available.
After my workout I was hungry again, as usual.
So, all in all I can say, I like the big bag, I like the taste, but the formular doesn’t come close to the one of “Active”. I don’t know why, I mean it’s almost the same I guys, but something feels wrong.
Oh, and I get gassy after drinking from the big bag. A lot. Like with the old pre-vegan formular.”
“Very easy to scoop, much better protein balance and, much better taste and texture (in my opinion). This is what I was waiting for, the huge format also saves me money, time and waste. My perfect partner for my muscle gains.”
“First off, the packaging is a lot better than the smaller variants. It's easier to scoop out of the larger bag. The lower amount of carbs and higher amount of protein (all plant-based!) is to my liking. After drinking two shakes a day for about three weeks and keeping the rest of my diet the same, I have the feeling my body fat percentage has dropped a bit.
The taste is familiar, but notably different from the regular plenny shake. It's as if the flavour is less intense, which results in a more powdery, artificial taste.”
