“I tried the banana flavour. First attempt: WTF is this s**t! Second attempt: well, not so bad after all. Third attempt: it's good!
Haven't tried other flavours for now.
After drinking my Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake I feel satisfied, no need to eat something else at all.
I'm satisfied with my Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake experience and pretty sure I'll buy it again soon!

“Strawberry Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake has a pleasant, mild flavor. It has a thick consistency similar to oatmeal or cream of wheat. The strawberry notes are most pronounced in the aftertaste. Compared to the well known American competitor, it is slightly less filling. With the well known American competitor, one pitcher lasts me two days. Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake, less so. That could owe something to the fact that it is somewhat more pleasing to drink than unflavored the well known American competitor. I find myself looking forward to my next shake.
All told, I am very pleased with Strawberry Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake, and look forward to trying the other flavors.”
“I really like Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake, helps me keep a balanced diet without too much effort, but lately packaging takes forever (had to wait 3 weeks in my previous order, i've waited already 10 days now for the actual one and it hasnt even been shipped yet). product deserves 4 stars but the waiting times are killing it for me.”
“I tested three vegan Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake bags, strawberry flavour, so I can't comment on the other flavours.
Now, the direct comparison strawberry regular vs strawberry vegan is quite interesting.
Flavour: It actually tastes quite a bit different. While the regular Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake is very yummy and gives that milkshake feeling, the vegan version tastes "healthier", as it were, and I'm sure I'm not imagining this. I would describe it as a green flavour. It's like comparing organic whole-grain cookies to regular ones. Not necessarily worse, just different.
Texture: Hard to describe... vegan feels a bit more velvety, almost a bit more solid than regular with the same amount of water.
Colour: Regular is red-yellow, a bit ochre, the vegan version is a bit greener and looks green-brown when mixed with water. Doesn't look quite as appetizing, but the looks are surely not a concern when you're buying the well known American competitor after all.
Solubility: The vegan version surprisingly dissolves a lot easier, whether using the immersion blender or the shaker bottle. It forms less clumps and takes less time to mix.
Satiation: Vegan Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake fills me up noticeably better than regular. I feel really full, sometimes almost too full, after a vegan meal (173 g), as compared to just satisfied after a regular Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake meal. It seems to last a bit longer too, like five compared to four hours, but that changes day to day and is hard to quantify.
So there you have it, better in some respects, worse in others, a matter of taste in most. For vegans, there is no choice, for everybody else, I'd recommend the vegan version when trying to lose weight (if you like the different taste) and the regular version when trying to gain weight :)”
“Ik ben zeer tevreden met het product en de meeste smaken. De Jimmy Joy/Plenny shake shake vullen erg goed! Jammer genoeg duurt het bij mij wel 2 a 3 weken voor dat ik mijn bestelling ontvang.”
“Helped me lose 10 kg so far, due to how easy it is to count calories. And it doesn't even leave me hungry. Minus one star due to the flavor of the banana version and uncertain delivery times.”
