“I ordered the shakes only:
I was very excited to try the drink, but there are things I want to Adress:
- the free cup that comes with the first order broke during the travel, I got probably just an unlucky package but it makes me end up without free cup and more important it makes the mixing inconvenient + when presenting yourself as sustainable it is a bit inconsistent to use easy breakable plastic, as this produces the most unnecessary waste.
- The delivery needed 7 days and was not within the time frame that was announced, which might be due to covid-19, but compared to other online shops this is quite a long time (maybe because its supposed to be sustainable jimmy joy does not want to contribute to fast shopping, but for now its a minus)
- TASTE: at first I tried the coffee flavor, which does not taste got. This not even a very subjective opinion, because it tastes like watery pastinak with a hint of coffee. My subjective opinion is that coffee and pastinak is a disgusting mix, so I do not recommend that flavor.
Secondly I tried the strawberry flavor which is almost delicious. It smells like strawberry really nicely. There is not this strong pastinak taste, maybe because the combination (strawberry & pastinak) fits better, but still I would not call it exactly delicious as it is still very watery.
-TEXTURE: in general during most of the drinking process the texture is okay. There is this 1 sort of powder inside the drink that does not fit very well as it sticks to the membranes of your mouth after every sip. Also, provably due to the added fibre, when almost finishing the drink the there is a recognizable layer on the ground that is thicker than the rest of the drink. In the strawberry flavor this layer was still consumable but with the coffee I just felt like throwing up. Drinking this layer it really becomes clear to the mouth that its beans and pastinak and seeds that do not fit to the flavor of the drink.
I like the concept. I like the design. But I give 1 star, because taste and texture of the shake are making it hardly enjoyable and just not delicious. And for guaranteeing satisfaction and sustainability to poor quality.”
“Über Umwege bin ich auf JimmyJoy und die Plennyshakes gestoßen, nachdem ich erst einen britischen und einen deutschen Hersteller von Food-Replacement probiert hatte. Und zum Glück ist das alles so passiert, denn jetzt habe ich den perfekten Hersteller gefunden. Was macht die Shakes für mich so gut? Sie sind auf Haferbasis, schmecken mir sehr gut, sind unglaublich gut löslich (obwohl man recht viel Pulver auf wenig Wasser verwendet), haben eine tolle, smoothe Textur im Mund, sind im Vergleich sehr günstig, man muss nicht gleich eine große Packung mit nur einer Geschmacksrichtung bestellen, sondern kann beliebig viele kleine unterschiedliche Packungen zusammenstellen, sie erfüllen ihren Zweck (halten mich locker vier Stunden angenehm satt). Darüber hinaus gefällt mir der Auftritt des Herstellers gut (modern, hip, nicht zu ernst). Summa summarum: Hier bleib ich bei!”
“I was very curious and at the same time sceptical about the all meal replacements topic, until I decided to give it a try.
I can say now I'm happy I did, I'm loving the Plenny shakes. it's the perfect option for a healthy and cheap office lunch. Not to forget it takes only 20 seconds to prepare it!”
