“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.
If you have any further suggestions or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out at love@jimmyjoy.com
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'll be re-ordering it. Wonderfully convenient and time-saving.”
“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.”
“Mijn lichaam kan er niet tegen. Ik heb het 3 weken geprobeerd, best wat geëxperimenteerd met de hoeveelheden, maar het ging van kwaad naar erger. Ik nam enkel ‘s morgens een shake en ik had voor de rest van de dag geen honger meer. Ik werd er opgeblazen van en zeer windering, voelde me daardoor de hele dag ongemakkelijk en ellendig. Bovendien werd ik er ook nog eens geconstipeerd van. Toen ik ermee stopte, voelde ik me na enkele dagen meteen beter. Het poeder lost ook niet zo goed op, terwijl ik de beker best lang schudde. Het enige goeds dat ik erover te zeggen heb, is dat de smaken lekker waren. Jammer dat ik ineens zoveel gekocht heb, had het beter eerst getest. Vind het zonde om het weg te moeten gooien, maar ik heb geen andere optie.”
Hallo Annelies,
Bedankt voor je eerlijke feedback over de producten die je hebt gekocht. Het spijt ons te horen dat je deze ervaring hebt gehad. We begrijpen dat een opgeblazen gevoel en constipatie erg vervelend kunnen zijn, en dat is uiteraard niet wat we voor onze klanten willen.
Om de consistentie en oplosbaarheid van de shake te verbeteren, raden we aan om deze na het schudden ongeveer 30 minuten in de koelkast te laten rusten.
Als je nog verdere vragen of feedback hebt, of als je een terugbetaling wilt aanvragen onder onze 30-dagen-geld-terug-garantie, neem dan gerust contact met ons op via love@jimmyjoy.com
Met liefde ❤️
