“Commuting to my university was troublesome for me breakfast-wise, and I would often take a muffin and eat it when I found time. Those didnt provide the nutrition I needed and contained far too much sugar. I found soylent and it changed my life. I could finally eat in the morning. After a few weeks of it though, I started to despise the taste, serving size, disposable bottles, and incredibly high price.
Then I found Joylent. Far cheaper, great flavors, easy to prepare. Even the texture I quickly grew to enjoy.
I recommend anyone reading these reviews to just try it out. You'll like it, I promise.”
“I really enjoy my Jimmy Joy meals. The only problem is that we really haven't seen any new flavors in quite a while. Other than that, 100% recommendable for people who are lazy like me, or can't be bothered to cook and/or wash dishes.”
“Banana taste is good, it keeps me full for 4-6 hours, it saves me time and effort to make food when I don't feel like cooking and I know I have all the nutrients my body need in one meal. I don't have low energy problem when I drink it compared with normal food. I always spill some powder accidentally, shakers should be a bit larger, for 1 dcl extra. I am surprised that there is only banana taste for sports version. I use this as breakfast or just before I go to work.Overall I am satisfied, this type of fueling your body has great future in my opinion. I have some interesting side affects that I like, sometimes I have a rush of energy just after I finish drinking...shipping took around a week, that is ok. Web site was little confusing at first because I wanted to order sport version with different tastes and I almost mistakenly ordered normal version, there is no warning for that, when you click pick your flavors, sports version does not have flavors except banana and then site offers you other flavors which are for normal plenny shake, not sports.”
“Jimmy Joy will not substitute ALL your meals, but once or twice per week is perfect, for example when you travel and you have to catch a train during lunch/dinner time. I think also eating occasionally something in a different form can be healthy in some way. For me mango is the best flavour.”
“Well to be honnest, the problem is not with Jimmy Joy (well a part might be), nor with their direct partner which is PostNL, the problem is with the french provider choosen by PostNL (Chronopost in France).
Package has to be sent again (it was returned to Jimmy Joy because I did not pick it up), and in both case I was never advised that the package was waiting for me to pick it up. You could expect a delivery notice warming you that a package is available for pick up when the carrier comes and you're not home, well I wasn't that lucky, I got nothing !
Moreover, they do not provide any kind of electronic feedback to PostNL, hence the tracking stay blocked and nothing more happens.
Lastly, that's were Jimmy Joy can do something, I did not pay attention to the tracking mails, they were 2 of them, with different numbers.
But, because of the huge logo for Jimmy Joy, and the way gmail handles mails that are in appearence "identical", mark the quote, the difference was in a hyperlink not in the text. I was unaware that they were 2 packages, so I almost miss half of my products when I pick them up, I figured out when remembering how much I've ordered.
Hopefuly Jimmy Joy team was helpful and they sent again the package (free of charge), and I manage to get it from the pick up center (by guessing when it should arrive here).
As for the Product itself, I like it, especially tweeny bars, they allow the chewing part of the digestion process to take place, which is really a plus to maximise assimilation of nutriments/vitamins/minerals.”
“By now I've started to introduce it to my friends and they also like it. It's simple, tasty, and I know I'm getting the right stuff. It's been almost a year since I've started”
