“Jimmy Joy's initial entry into the Ready To Drink (RTD) market is a promising step in the right direction. Since starting with Jimmy Joy's powdered foods in 2014, I switched over to competing RTD options once they entered the European market in early 2017. Simply put, RTDs always tend to be smoother, more pleasant, and less hassle than all powdered options I have tried. So it is encouraging to see Jimmy Joy releasing their first RTD.
As to the 'plenny drink' itself, the taste is a quite pleasant vanilla flavour that is somewhat similar to other vanilla RTDs I have tried (though plenny shake is ever so slightly grittier). My biggest criticism (and hence the 3 stars) is the tetra pac container the pleny drink comes in. This packaging has a small metal lip inside that makes it extremely difficult to drink everything inside, and always leaves plenty of wasted residue inside. I would urge Jimmy Joy to look at bottle containers, perhaps in a 500 ml format - as some of their RTD competitors have as an option. Bottles are simple, effective, and equally (if not more) easy to recycle.
Great job Jimmy Joy, hope you find this feedback helpful!”
“f*** you Jimmy, you can't make this. Since the first day was amazing! Now I come buy an entire month or a year and it's sold out!
The fact its 400kcal makes I didnt need to pause to make digestion, I just take 1 every 2,5 hours and it's done. "eating" in about a minute and without needing a kitchen it's perfect.
Only 1 downside, the first day I went a bit dehydrated, because the powder version I mixed it with 700 ml water, but on the next day I started with extra bottle of water.
Taste is good. Texture is good.
Price I feel it a bit higher 10€/day in comparison to 5€/day with powder version. I will pay anyway for the driking version and is still way better than regular food.”
“This drink is totally unrelated to the shaker: it's more fluid, more concentrate, so easier to drink. But also it taste better! It has something refreshing, I don't know what. I hate the vanilla shaker but I do love this vanilla drink.”
“Very smooth, with some texture to it. I found the drink a bit too sweet, but otherwise the taste is good. It's not as filling as Twenny bar, which is not bad, but limits the scope of the drink. I usually have one as a quick snack in a car or when I am walking a dog.”
“So, compared to the vegan vanilla shake (never tasted the regular one) it's a bit sweeter, and less oaty. The texture is super smooth, which is great, and I'd say it's a bit thicker than milk.
I would love to see different tastes and also a bigger format. Twice that size would be good. As it is not enough for one meal now, but it does subtitute as a break.
I recommend !”
