As a former prolific gym-goer and exercise enthusiast, I've had my fair share of shakes from many different companies. My gym-days behind me, I was looking for something that could replace my meals during a busy workday, especially since I'm just not a meal-prep type. In all honesty, my first impressions on both the Plenny Shake (Chocolate and Caramel Sea) and the Plenny Pot (Satay) were pretty underwhelming. I found the shake to be grainy, sitting in the throat with fibrous bits, and the pot to be relatively bland. The Pot issue was more or less fixed after shaking the bag thoroughly to mix up the pulverised sauce which lay at the bottom. It became much better. Is it the best meal I've had? Definitely not. But it's not supposed to be. It's tasty in its own way, but more importantly it's fast and nutritious. The Shake, I do have to admit, grew on me. Indeed I believe it's an acquired taste, and now I actually do look forward to both flavours. Since its very fibrous, it's not the smoothest shake where everything will dissolve, but then again there are other powders for that. This is a meal replacement in and of itself. I do drink the shakes with milk, though, as I could never have any protein shake with just water. In conclusion: underwhelming at first, especially since my colleague raved about it, but with expectations reset both the shake and the pot have grown on me to the point where I now know I'll be ordering a next batch. Price, convenience and nutrition are Jimmy Joy's strengths. Taste, especially in the Plenny Pot area, can definitely be spiced up (pun intended) more.
