“I used to drink Huel, but it started to give me indigestion after a while, so I switched to Soylent. I loved it, but the constant issues with powder not being shipped for to the point where I needed to try something else. I was hesitant at first about trying Plenty because I liked Soylent so much and didn't want to go back to something like Huel. I was very pleasantly surprised. Plenny feels like a perfect middle ground - it's smoother and better tasting than Huel, but also heftier and more satisfying than Soylent (and actually ships you the product). Coming from plain Soylent I a was worried I wouldn't like a flavored shake, but honestly the Pistachio is so good I would genuinely rather have it than a regular meal most of the time. Vanilla is way better than vanilla Huel,and pretty good, though not as great as Pistachio in my opinion. Looking forward to trying more kinds!”

“It tastes OK, but it is watery when first mixed, and I prefer the thicker consistency of other brands which I recently abandonded due to lead content. 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 Chocolate. 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.
If you have any further suggestions or if you'd like to discuss a refund, please feel free to reach out at love@jimmyjoy.com.
With love ❤️
