“It tastes pretty good, but it is watery when first mixed, and I prefer the thicker consistency of other brands which I recently abandonded due to lead content. It mixes well with the lemon pie flavor. I have tried letting it sit for an hour or two in the fridge, and then it seems to get a bit too thick, resulting in difficulty getting it out of the included shake mixer. Sadly, I cannot continue eating this product due to the inclusion of sucralose, which has been shown to be disruptive to the gut microbiome and alter insulin and glucose levels in NIH sudies. I sure wish it didn't have something that research shows is harmful. Otherwise I might have continued buying it. I appreciated the balance of macro and micro nutrients, at the very least. In the end, you need to ask yourself how comfortable you are with sucralose.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your thoughtful review of the Plenny Shake Strawberry. Sucralose is one of the most researched sweeteners, with extensive safety evaluations by food authorities like the EFSA and FDA. Studies have shown that it is safe for consumption, does not affect blood sugar levels, and is well tolerated by most people.
We have considered switching to a natural sweetener many times, not because sucralose is dangerous, but because we know some people prefer alternatives. However, after testing multiple options, we found that none provided the same great taste without compromising quality. Our tasting panel consistently prefers the current formula, so we’ve kept it as is.

“1. I would prefer a protein source that's not ultra processed.
2. I prefer delivery to a pickup point or parcel locker, not home delivery. Please let me set this easily.”
Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback on the Plenny Shake Strawberry. We understand your preference for less processed foods, please note that in order to make a shake, processing is not an option as the ingredients need to be ground and mixed. Though our input is greatly appreciated!
Regarding delivery options, using a pickup point is 100% possible.

Have a good day!
“The Strawberry flavor was a bit mild, but it was good anyway and I'd drink it again–it's my favorite flavor so far. I'd like it to have a stronger taste but then it would probably be too strong for some people. It mixes easily with the water. I had to add an extra scoop to not feel hungry an hour before my next meal, but I may not have been on it long enough to get used to it. I'll be re-ordering it.”
“Intense and good taste and a variety of good ingredients. My gut takes it with ease which is not usual with such meal replacements / supplements.
I like as an additional meal post lunch, prior dinner.
Just be clear that the consistency is still a bit kinda sandy. Let it sit for a minute or two before enjoying.”
