“I tried the Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake Vegan (Vanilla) for my first order. It was excellent! The taste is about what I was hoping it would be, which is mostly bland but still enjoyable. If it were too flavorful, it would get old really quickly (and probably be loaded with sugar like other meal replacements).
The best part, in my opinion, is that it keeps me full all day. I have one in the morning and one at lunch, and it keeps me full all day until dinner. I still have dinners with the family, but Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake is my new breakfast and lunch on work days. :) With that being strictly all I eat, it's easier to stay away from snacks and goodies at the office.
Thanks!”
“I haven't received a notification about parcels when arrived at a collection point. After two weeks without my parcels, I wrote to the customer service. Then I picked it up quickly : I had only one day. The customer service is good, 'cause answer me quickly.”
“The Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake shakes and flavors are so much more than I expected. I love how there are multiple flavors to choose from so I don't get burned out after a few days of the same thing. I've started adding a little bit of cinnamon to my shake and it tastes amazing! I am completely full after drinking this and it doesn't leave me feeling tired or sluggish like a heavy meal. I would definitely recommend this as a great meal replacement.”
“My 18-year-old son and I just worked our way through our first family shipment of Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake.
- Shipping to Switzerland was quick and wasn't unfairly expensive.
- Good packaging, everything clearly labeled.
- I'm not so sure about the 520g package size. I'm planning to eat nothing besides Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake and water during Lent this year (40 days from March till Easter), and THEN, I think the package-per-day principle will work OK. But for now, I've been substituting just one meal per day, and I think I'd rather have my Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake in a bigger container I can use a big scoop. Measuring ca. 173g out of the slim packages is a little annoying.
- I was surprised at how easy it is to shake them up in the included shaker - though I get a slightly frothier/creamier consistency if I mix my Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake with a hand mixer set I to turbo.
- I do find that it's important to wash out the glass/pitcher soon after drinking, otherwise the Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake can dry out into a kind of crust that you can't just rinse out with a little water. (However, the dish washer has no trouble, even with a plastic pitcher that been sitting for several hours.)
- For a water-based powder mix, I find the taste (whatever flavor) and consistency very pleasant and creamy. (Adding a little milk - say 3/4 water + 1/4 milk - makes it perfect. But that's cheating!)
- I got a selection of all the flavors. My favorite is actually vanilla - but I appreciate about all of them that the flavoring is never overbearing. I'd say mango might actually be my second favorite - though my son doesn't like it much - which is to be expected since he doesn't like fresh mangos either. Personally, I find banana and strawberry just a tiny bit chemical - though I'm happy to drink both.
- HOWEVER: My absolute favorite was the little tester package of speculaas!! It's WONDERFUL and reminded me of the 2 years I spent studying in Amsterdam over 20 years ago.
- I was worried about, umm, digestive issues - i.e., getting a bad case of the "toots". As it turned out, I got a little bit more digestive action initially, but nothing really bad - and it settled in pretty quickly. OTOH, a significant bonus was some more digestive regularity than I was getting before. (My son didn't report any trouble at all.) Note: Drinking plenty of fluids may help.
- So, I'm about to place my second order!”
“I ordered Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake at the same time I ordered another brand, which is more expensive. Shipping was slightly worse for Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake, arriving a day later.
All of the flavors tasted good, but it'd be nice to have something a bit more neutral so we can add our own flavoring to it.
Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake was less filling than the other brand.
Strong feature of Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake is price.”
