“I struggled with this one - I found the protein was the overwhelming flavour and it wasn't very pleasant. So in my limited experience, I think the normal plenny shakes taste great - although only 20grams of protein but the active is harder to take so I guess it depends on your protein needs. Mine are just trying to keep them at a reasonable level as an older fairly active woman.”
Hi Dom!
Thanks a lot for leaving your review and feedback, we appreciate it very much.
Never nice to see something was not liked, but I think you are finding what works for you and we can only applaud that, thanks for trying!
Upon checking the contact history, I found you already reached out to us for this and a refund was issued from our money-back guarantee as well. Lovely, I am happy to see you found us for that.
Please do feel free to try out any other products with the same guarantee if it's not for you, but we would indeed advise to stay away from the Active Shakes, soon to be changed to the Pro version of the Plenny Shake as the others will have that same experience for you most likely.

“Omdat Jake shake leverproblemen heeft eens Jimmy joy geprobeerd. Dit smaakt helaas net ranzig.. weet niet goed uit te leggen waarom, maar het ligt vervelend op de maag en smaakt net muffig”
Hoi Jeroen!
Allereerst excuses voor de late reactie hier, we hadden wat minder collega's beschikbaar ivm vakanties.
Jammer om te lezen dat beide producten niet in de smaak zijn gevallen, kan gebeuren natuurlijk, zoals je het aangeeft ga ik ervan uit dat het met persoonlijke voorkeur te maken heeft. In dit geval, omdat je ook het order nummer gedeeld hebt, kon ik meteen vanuit onze geld-terug garantie de terugbetaling doen voor de bestelling. Die terugbetaling zal je spoedig moeten terugontvangen aan jouw kant.
Je mag natuurlijk de andere producten/smaken nog proberen met dezelfde garantie, maar ik zou in dit geval adviseren weg te blijven van de Plenny Shake Active (inmiddels is dat de Plenny Shake Pro geworden ook).
Dank je wel voor het proberen! <3
“I thoroughly enjoy the Vanilla complete meal. I haven’t tried any other flavors yet. However, I have one minor complaint: I believe the price is a bit high.”
“I’m very satisfied with the Plenny Shake Active. For me, the biggest advantages are the convenience, the great taste, and the balanced composition. It’s incredibly easy to prepare, fits perfectly into a busy day, and still provides everything I need in terms of nutrients.”
“The shake mixes well with water, and the taste improves noticeably after 45 minutes in the freezer. I use it regularly to replace lunch, which is practical for daily life. However, it doesn’t provide lasting fullness—I often feel hungry again by the evening. For me, this is actually a positive, as I hadn’t felt hunger in years before using these shakes. The product does its job, even if it doesn’t keep hunger at bay for long.”
“The vanilla flavor tastes significantly worse than the vanilla meal replacment I switched from, and it is watery when first mixed. I greatly prefer the thicker consistency of other brands which I recently abandonded due to lead content. I have tried letting it sit for an hour or two in the fridge, and then it seems to get a bit too thick, resulting in difficulty getting it out of the included shake mixer. Sadly, I cannot continue eating this product due to the inclusion of sucralose, which has been shown to be disruptive to the gut microbiome and alter insulin and glucose levels in NIH sudies. I sure wish it didn't have something that research shows is harmful! Otherwise I might have continued buying it. I appreciated the balance of macro and micro nutrients, as well as the amazing bag technology which uses velcro to seal shut - such a handy addition. In the end, you need to ask yourself how comfortable you are with sucralose.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your thoughtful review of the Plenny Shake Active Vanilla. Sucralose is one of the most researched sweeteners, with extensive safety evaluations by food authorities like the EFSA and FDA. Studies have shown that it is safe for consumption, does not affect blood sugar levels, and is well tolerated by most people.
We have considered switching to a natural sweetener many times, not because sucralose is dangerous, but because we know some people prefer alternatives. However, after testing multiple options, we found that none provided the same great taste without compromising quality. Our tasting panel consistently prefers the current formula, so we’ve kept it as is.
If you have any further suggestions or if you'd like to discuss a refund, please feel free to reach out at love@jimmyjoy.com.
With love ❤️
