“I've been living pretty much entirely on JJ since august last year, and it's been great. It's cost-efficent, time saving, vegan, nutritious, taste is OK (note: the taste is of minor importance to me), space saving...
If I were to build up an emergency storage of food, in case of apocalypse or alien invasion... I'd go for plenny shake. The shelf life is not all that long, but the amount of nutrition/calories per weight/space unit is just unbeatable. How many complete days worth of food can you fit in the weight/space that a bag of plenny shake takes up, if you have to use "normal food"? Not much...
The only downside I've experienced with plenny shake is that some folks are keen on complaining on my diet. It's become increasingly frustrating how people ask about what I'm drinking, not out of curiousity - but to "lecture" me on how bad my diet is. Their criticism is, of course, not based on facts, but on rumors and anecdotes of "powder food"... But even if they are "wrong" - it's still very annoying to discuss my diet again, and again, and again... For those who are concerned about the healthiness of powdered foods, I suggest googling. Search on reddit (/r/soylent + /r/jimmyjoy + /r/jimmyjoyfood), and if one wants to read scientific journals... search on PubMed for "meal replacement". I couldn't find any scientific articles on JJ-like meal replacements, most if not all articles are about meal replacements for weight loss, but still - as far as I've gathered there is no documented health risk with living entirely on meal replacements.
It's possible it makes me "gasy", but my stomach is a mess no matter what (I have IBS). But it's not too bad, I have medications prescribed to deal with the IBS :-)”
“it's a very simple and quick meal. Moreover, after a while you will still have a feeling of satiety. Especially at lunch during the days of work it is very convenient.”
“Bought all flavours to try it out. Favorite definitly is Banana.
Strawberry also surprised me. Expected it to taste way more artificial.
In general all taste arnt too sweet which is nice+ after a 150g portion my hunger faded quite fast.”
“Simply, the taste isn't all that great. Alot of the flavors taste artificial and not very apetising, that wouldn't be a big problem if the consistency wasnt so bad. If you drink it shortly after mixing there are alot of dry particles witch is unpleasant. And if you let it sit for some minuets the dry particles are gone but you are still met with a fatty mess that is hard to get to the perfect thickness for consuming. All in all a quite unpleasant experiance,”
“I really like the shake, its tasty and so easy. I likt to mix it with some oatmilk, but even just water (and some ice cubes) is good as well! Banana and coffee are my favourite, but I like all of them.”
