“I just love these shakes. They taste great. There is a flavor for everybody. It's really convenient and easy. It makes my daily life so much easier. I work long days and spend a lot of time in public transport. I always carry a shake with me. I make healthier food decisions and safe money.”
“I've been trying a few different meal replacements lately and while plenny is perfectly ok, it results in a very thin shake that doesn't feel very filling.
Mainly, though, I found the portion sizes confusing. Given that each portion offers 20 % of most DRIs, Plenny seems to be based on eating five 400 kcal meals per day. Who eats five equally sized meals per day?!
Alright, so that just means Plenny is great if you want to loose weight - eat your normal three meals per day and get 1200 kcal; you're bound to lose weight. Right? Only, then you miss out of 40 % of your RDI of various vitamins, which defeats the purpose of eating meal replacements to begin with. There's a reason why other manufacturers offer different versions of their meal replacement with different kcal counts, rather than just recommending the customer to change the amount of formula per shake.
All of this would still be ok if the website clearly stated that the product is intended to constitute 20 % of your daily intake per two scoops, so that you could adjust the portion size accordingly. I can't see anything like that on the main page, though. You have to go into the detailed nutritional information before you realise that unlike all other major brands of meal replacement, Plenny is NOT based on three meals per day.
That also makes it harder to compare prices, given that one Plenny meal is about 60 % of a "normal" meal replacement meal - which, once again, seems geared towards weight loss until you realise that you'll need to supplement your vitamin and mineral intake in that case.
(Also, what's up with making the portion sizes 96 g? I'm not going to carry scalea with me)”
“You went from 525g to 475g per bag, from 25 to 15g of protein, while increasing fat content (almost doubling saturated fat). You started with a great idea… you ended up into mere business. I would have preferred paying more than experiencing such a decrease in quality and quantity standards. It is not a secret that proteins are more expensive than fats, but the new recipe does not provide a sufficient amount of energy and proteins for an average man (despite you kept the same bag price).
I feel quite disenchanted, having enjoyed Plenny Shake for years.”
“Very content with the overal product.
2 improvement points:
1: would like to have option to buy bigger bag, better for environment and more convenient to scoop ( and I know the active alternative is available in big bag - but why not the normal plenty shake)
2: taste of all flavours have a similar undertone (beany flavour) and the flavours could use a stronger taste ( especially the chocolate should have a stronger chocolate taste)
Thank you for this great and convenient meal replacement!”
“De oude formule met plezier gedronken, het was niet echt lekker en de structuur was niet perfect, maar ik kreeg het prima weg, zeker met de wetenschap dat er best veel plantaardige eiwitten in zaten! Ik was teleurgesteld toen jullie de formule veranderde, het betekende meer caloriën, vetten, koolhydraten (alles wat ik niet wil zeg maar) en MINDER DAN DE HELFT AAN EIWITTEN... Toch het voordeel van de twijfel gegeven, maar de shakes zijn ook nog eens niet weg te krijgen, de structuur is prima (als is 100gr met 300ml water erg waterig naar mijn mening), maar de smaak... Nee... Het heeft GEEN smaak (moet chocolade voorstellen...). Ik moet opzoek gaan naar een andere plantaardige maaltijdshake helaas...”
