The choc-berry flavour is nice. I was worried I wouldn’t like it but it is good.
I usually do not eat until 2 pm and 1 thought this would help in the morning after my coffee to balance out a good routine
I am happy I did this. I mix both shakes together.
The flavour for myself is to artificial and to sweet, it has a kind of artificial synthetic banana syrup flavour that’s way to overpowering and hard to disguise with other added ingredients. It’s very similar to banana flavoured soft lollies, which means after a whole large glass of it it’s quite sickly.
Does it keep you full? No it doesn’t it’s basically the same as other standard meal replacement. Does it stop cravings? Yes I’d say it does for a while, maybe an hr but this is probably because it’s quite sickly.
I’ll finish the pack but I doubt I’ll order again. Delivery was as it says on the tin, delivered the next day with email updates. Excellent.
First time I've tried this product but as I've recently begun a Plant Based Diet due to some health issues I decided to try this Meal Replacement Shake and found it very good in helping me get my daily protein requirements, and its taste is great 😋
Tastes good, delivered to our door, efficient and is now my go to breakfast
Still the best plant based meal replacement I have tried. The banana flavour has improved over the first batch I bought and is better balanced now. I'll continue to buy this.
Great taste, easy to mix ... a bit "grainy", but we enjoy with a banana in a smoothie style.
It sustains me and has become my go-to breakfast
Pretty good flavour, I bought both but have only tried the banana so far. I think its a bit too sweet (partly because I'm sensitive to sweet flavours, partly because of the intensity of sucralose), I would love a lower sweetness option.
It keeps me full for longer, and doesn't upset my stomach the way a lot of others do.
The texture is nice and smooth and the powder dissolves quickly without clumping, but I do always blend mine.
Quite bitty and tastes really artificial. Otherwise it would have been a really nice flavour
Tried both flavours. Banana flavour is good, it has that artificial banana flavouring taste to it but it's not overpowering, has the same consistency as a smoothie. Raspberry was OK but the flavour was very strong and it tastes very strongly of artificial sweetener with a strong aftertaste that I'm not a fan of but it would be OK you don't mind the sweetener taste. The aftertaste goes away with a swig of water and doesn't hang around for ages. Goes a bit gloopy if you leave it sitting for a while so I would recommend drinking it straight away.
I love the taste as long as I have it with *coconut water* - Coconut water makes it delicious! I tried with plain water or soy milk and wasn't a fan. It mixes really well in my shaker. The only drawback I've noticed is it doesn't keep me as full for as long as the plant based proteins do.
Overall it's a win for me and I will be buying again.
I like the meal replacement but it would be nice if you had vanilla and chocolate flavour.
Banana flavour: great, leans into the green banana powder in the mix already, 5 stars, would buy again
Raspberry flavour: horrific, awful, the artificial sweetness of the raspberry is probably one of the worst flavours I've tasted, 1 star, would never buy
overall, 3 stars, leaves you feeling full, just don't buy the raspberry flavour
I like the taste and texture, easy and hassle free as I hate cooking. Definitely satisfying as a meal replacement option.
easy to mix in
but both times i had it i couldnt finish the serving as it started to make me feel ill and naseous . first time i gave it benefit of the doubt in case it was something else making me ill but it happened again the second time so sadly i wont be able to finish the bag i bought.
Rating this 5 stars because it's the most affordable vegi/lactose free meal replacement. Very tummy friendly! It's cheaper than FastFX and won't blow you up like a balloon like OpitSlim can. Easy cleanup and mixes fine in a shaker. Love that it has more potassium than others too. If I could improve anything, I would use a less intense sweetener (perhaps ethritol?) and I would add some additional micros like biotin and selenium.
The choc banana flavour was nice, but way too sweet. It was fine when used in lower quantities than directed, but I'd prefer to be able to mix more in. Slight grittiness, but texture was decent. I'd be happy to buy a version of this with little (or preferably zero) artificial sweetener. For now I think I'll stick to maltodextrin versions for higher calorie intake and because they're not as sweet.
Don't like the flavor or gritty texture, but it does keep me going until lunchtime.
Great Tasting and very fulfilling
Bought this for hubby, he loves it. Can really taste the raspberry in it. I find it quite sweet but that’s just me. Pleased the nibs have been ground down although my blender would deal to that anyway.
Swapping meals with this at night after training, cuts down lots on prep time, doesn't make me feel heavy afterwards and at night and it is still quite filling.
Excellent product. Banana Choc Nib and Raspberry Cacao are great flavors. Both mix well using the Wave XL Shaker. Add about 350ml of ice cold water, then 3 level scoops of meal replacement and shake well for at least 30 to 45 seconds. Add more water until the 600ml level. I use mine with a extra 2 level scoops of NZ Protein WHEY ISOLATE as part of a nutrition program for strength training. Taken twice daily, this meal replacement has helped me to achieve a lose fat and build muscle training program with excellent results. Highly recommended. Will buy again.
Not nice after taste. It tastes sickly sweet and like it is some kind of artificial sweetener? I definitely won't be ordering it again. The texture is perfect but the flavour I ordered (Raspberry Cacao) is not nice. Awesome quick dispatch and delivery as always from the team at NZ Protein!
Flavour is great but when made in a shaker the consistency is a little gritty
Purchased a sample of the new Raspberry Cacoa flavour to try, think it’s the top choice of the two. It does a pretty good job of flavouring this blend. Being a meal replacement shake, don’t go thinking it will be like a regular whey protein shake… it’s more chalky and grainy in texture given that it’s hemp based with *loads* of extras packed in to it!
Nice job on the new flavour option :)
Actually tastes pretty amazing and fills me up when I can't eat. Grounding down the nibs was a great decision as that was the only major downside to the banana one I've bought before and never finished because it was impossible to drink with the nibs getting stuck in my throat. Three scoops with milk and a quick blast in a smoothie blender is perfect, fills me right up for at least a few hours.
The price could be a little more reasonable, but all things considered it's not too bad and is still worth it. If it were more reasonable I'd probably buy a lot more and stock up on it as it would make a great TEOTWAWKI supply.
It's grainy and a bit too sweet. Maybe the 5th time I had this it rinsed me out both ends. Just tried it again and thew it up 4 hrs after drinking. Will not be finishing the packet.
Goes great with a handful of mixed nuts to fill me up for quick lunch on the go
Totally enjoying this product, tastes great and perfect top up with my light meals
the flavour is good. there were some comments in the reviews about the nibs being too coarse but that seems to have been fixed. I dissolve the powder in boiling water and then add cold water and ice to chill it before drinking. I mix with 350mL of water in total and it seems good.
Taste is okay-ish when you use a lot more water then recommended (700ml). Also the powder isn´t dissolving completely.
Taste is good and keep me full for a long time.
The only disadvantage is the only 1 taste.
I would be happy for a neutral like vanilla's that you can mix with fruit and berries.
Grainy texture and strong artificial sweetener aftertaste. I much prefer the Qota/aussielent meal replacements as they feel less artificial even though they have a plainer taste. NZPROTEIN REPLY: as ours is a superfood blend it is more difficult than a milk and maltodextrin product. By comparison to that product ours has no maltodextrin (sugar), no milk, no soy, and no gluten.
I initially thought I missed the choc nibs from the old flavour but this variation has grown on me and I certainly haven't tired of it. If I take it around 7.30 after a workout it'll easily get me through to dinner. Great stuff.
The cocao nibs are ground down in this batch and are eminently palatable. And the mix is not overly sweet, so it’s easy to drink. Does what it says on the tin – a useful addition to my diet.
It does the job but Im not convinced about the flavour. Its not sure if it wants to be a banana flavour or a chocolate flavour. Shaker struggles to mix it but fine in the blender.
blends quickly, quietens hunger when I don't feel like eating
I like it. It's a little bit grainy, but not enough to be a real texture issue for me. Glad I seem to have got in after they ground down they nibs.
Good flavour, stops me from crashing an hour into work, and sees me through until lunch time.
The directions call for three heaped scoops. I've been mixing three level scoops into about 450ml of cold tap water. I don't feel the need to add anything to it.
It also in my experience is easier to clean off your shaker than protein products were back when I used them.
Was sceptical from the mixed range of reviews but it looked like the best option on the market so I went through with it. The flavour is great for what is packed into the product nutritionally, slightly grainy which I personally don't mind, it reminds me of a nutty smoothie from Tank. I only used shakers and it didn't have any clumps but a blender would probably be better for reducing the graininess if that ain't you. Highly recommended.
Love that the nibs are now ground down, I’m no longer afraid I’m going to break a tooth!
Had read the reviews previously before purchasing a sample to try…but in contrast, I can’t really fault this. For everything that’s been packed into the product, I think the flavour balance is great. Not sweet, nor bitter. I had the reformulated batch so the nibs had been ground down. Found it pleasant and filling :)
Fulfills my particular nutrition requirements, tastes good (another brand I used tasted like chemicals!), I like the crunchy nibs (If you want them softer, just leave the drink standing for a while).
Honestly I think the nutrition is a good mix. I like the choice of ingredients, I like that I'm not allergic to anything in it. I like the banana powder from a nutritional standpoint. But those chocolate nibs are brutal. They make sense from a nutritional standpoint. But it seems that the manufacturer threw in factory mass produced chocolate nibs without adjusting them for the end product. It would be fine if they were smaller. I bought this product because I had a lot of deadlines coming up and needed a meal replacement. But then I got covid and during my recovery my throat is so sensitive I can't eat solid food. I can't consume this product at the moment because the chocolate nibs are so huge that even when I chew them I can't swallow them without coughing up a lung. I am going to need to buy a different meal replacement to consume until I recover. The chocolate nibs are a good nutritional choice but they need to be a lot smaller.
And it would be great to have different flavours. With the banana powder it makes sense that they'll all be banana themed. But something like powdered peanut butter would be a good addition. Or if you're going for low allergy, powdered sunflower seed butter. Banana cookies and cream. There are a ton of banana desserts to choose from when it comes to flavours, just as a brainstorm suggestion.
Odd taste, very gritty even when shaken for a long time.
Has some great nutrients, and does fill me up okay, but I can't get past the flavour. Not my cup tea! The banana flavour is very strong and sweet
I love this meal replacement, I also add favs bean protein powder to it… yum!
I appreciate that all palates are different, so some might enjoy this meal replacement, but I do not. It has a strong over sweet aftertaste and the chocolate chips don't go down very well. When a new flavor is available I'll def give it a try.
I ordered 2 Banana and Chocolate Nib sample packets, I tried one mixed with almond milk and one with water both. I found the banana flavour to be pleasant and the shake does fill me up. But as almost every other review states the chocolate nibs are a struggle. They are very bitter and unpleasant tasting.
I do look forward to trying different flavours and would definitely consider buying a banana flavoured shake if the cacao nibs were not present.
Good quality shake with great nutritional value. However, the chocolate bits are not my favourite and make it a bit annoying to clean my shaker.
Please add other flavours again!! The Toffee flavour was a really good one!!
Hard to drink the choc chips, would prefer if just banana. Keeps me full for 3/4 hours
I have been adding this to my soaked overnight oats and it tastes delicious, I have just added water in a shaker bottle but prefer it with oats and soaked as the coco nibs soften.
Since I can't get myself to eat a proper breakfast early in the morning, I was looking for a liquid alternative. I have been using this meal replacement for a couple of weeks now and I'm absolutely loving it!!!
The ingredients are fantastic. The nutritional value is a lot better than any of the alternatives that I have been trying, and it keeps me full for quite a while.
I'm mixing it with milk and a strong shot of coffee and love the flavour. The chocolate nips would've been quite a surprise if I wouldn't have known about it from earlier reviews. Now I really like them. Wouldn't change a thing!
Both super sour and bitter at the same time. I really wanted to like it, but it was like battery acid with floaty chunks of super bitter cacao. Tried different concentrations, tried letting it sit in the fridge. Just had to tip it all out in the end.
Excellent product but the chunks of cocoa nib are a bit hard to get down the throat. Easily solved by adding half the water and blending it. Works great when used as a smoothie filler
well i gotta say i actually really like this meal replacement shake .. i especially love the little bits of nibs .. im replacing breakfast with this and it keeps me full right upto my next meal .. good stuff nz protein 😁😁
Flavour is quite disappointing
The banana choc nibs flavour is not very nice. I struggle to drink it. Gutted I bought 2 packs :(. NZPROTEIN REPLY: we're sorry you're not enjoying it. This product is a superfood mix with heaps of good ingredients. However, superfood mixes don't generally taste as good as milk based mixes (per our description on the product page).
It's a great meal replacement shake! Covers all the nutrients your body needs. I dont feel hungry for a couple hours. Great.
Only 4 stars and not 5 because I am not the biggest fan of this flavour. Please add other flavours back to your product range!
The Toffee flavour was great.
Rating is for the product taste/blend. The Cacau nibs need to be blended properly. Nearly impossible to drink the shake, otherwise. Nutritional content is EXCELLENT…5-stars! And can we please bring back the “Toffee” flavour. It was a fantastic blend.
Tastes better if made with only 250/300mls chilled water rather than the 500mls recommended. Blend on high speed to break those hard nibs down. I now love it!!!!!
Pleasantly surprised at the taste, not bad at all!
My only comment would be that I agree with some other people about the cacao nibs. I appreciate their nutritional value but maybe cut down the amount in the formulation to 1/2 of what's currently in the powder.
Like most of the other reviews, the cocoa nibs are very off putting. I get that they are a super food, but it's very hard to get this drink down as is. The banana flavor is good, but I don't know anyone who wants to chew their drink. That being said, I now put it in the blender with a little water, and it's much more pleasent to drink. I just wish it would come with the cocoa nibs already crushed down, so I wouldn't have to go through the extra trouble to make it palatable.
The protein is nice and feels clean however the black bits that are meant to be some type of chocolate taste like dirt, it would be better if there weren't any of them in the powder but overall it was good.
I like the taste of the drink but found it to sweet. Would be nice if it came with no sugar added
I have just had my first try of the meal replacement banana choc nib. The flavor is yum but found it way to sweet. Would be nice if you could get this without any sugar added.
The cacao nibs take a bit of getting used to but otherwise this shake is tasty and keeps you full up
I have been purchasing your protein powders for well over a decade on and off now and have always enjoyed them. The only downfall to the flavour I purchased this time is that there are chocolate chips and the mixture which I don’t really like to chew on while eating a smoothie or just mixing this with milk. I usually purchase vanilla because it is an easy all-rounder to add with not much flavour change to fruit or other ingredients. But couldn’t find this option this time round
Taste doesn't do it for me
I did not enjoy the taste of this one at all sorry! I’ve had a bunch of different products from you and loved them all, just not this one..
Taste aside, provided the energy needs required.
Well it is the best protein meal replacement except the carob needs to be ground because the nibs will break your tears. The best recipe is mix with some coconut milky and water. Add the collagen if you need it. Blend 1 scoop is enough for 1 cup easy.
My brother recommended nzprotein to my mum and I and we both recently tried the banana choc nib flavoured meal replacement powder in some oat porridge with some plain coconut yoghurt, mixed berries, and some barista oat milk, and even with these other ingredients, we could still taste the banana and choc nibs flavour, and for us, when it comes to adding a protein powder or having a meal replacement powder in general, it has to be packed full of flavour, or else it just won't work for us long term.
Instead of using the protein powders and meal replacement powders in shakes, we instead use them mainly in our oat breakfasts and cereals, and it's honestly so good, not only as a flavour enhancer to the meal, but to get in that extra protein to feel fuller for longer, and eat less, as a result.
Really nice to have a vegan protein option - and you don't have to separately buy soy/other milks for the carb component. Tastes surprisingly good, goes down easily.
Mine just arrived and I love it! I also live rurally and shipping was extremely fast. Tastes just like a banana milkshake, I enjoy cacao too so I like the extra little crunch to it. I’d recommend mixing it with almond milk or oat milk. First time purchasing from NZ protein too so I’ll definitely be a repeating customer
Great mixability, taste and satiety, my only gripe is the cacao nibs shouldn't have been added. Not a fan of chewing my protein shakes :)
Really happy with this product. Found it easy to mix, isn't overly grainy, and the flavour is exactly what you'd expect given the ingredients. I personally like the flavour and crunch of the nibs. I feel like anyone who is disappointed with this product is expecting it to be like the other types that have 20+ ingredients in them to make them taste like milkshakes. Sure, those are tasty, but this one is way less processed and better for your gut in the long run.
By far the most filling meal replacement shake I have ever had and tastes so good too. Love it!
Toffee flavour is horrible!
Would love another flavour option for sure as i do like the banana/cacao option though :)
I love the banana flavour and enjoy the crunch of the cacao nibs. Great to keep a portion on hand, with milk powder added then ready just to mix with water anywhere any time. My fussy daughter loved it too.
Will definitely be buying again.
Great product, really happy. Enjoy the crunch of cacao.
Would love there to be no scoop in bags though.
I would avoid this product. Very average taste, doesn't dissolve well and you'll choke on a layer of random peanut chunks that float on the top every time you take a sip. NZPROTEIN REPLY: we're sorry you don't like the taste, it is plant based. The chunks are cacao nibs - there are no peanuts.
Must be blended into a smoothie. Too gritty just mixed into water. Blended with a banana, berries and whatever else it makes for a great quick and easy meal replacement.
Banana / cacao flavour is great, love the cacao crunch factor, real ingredients and mixes fine in their hand shaker - I'm using it functionally, I'm not after fine cuisine
Excellent product. Perfect to replace a meal when your busy and keeps me satisfied and energised for a solid few hours. Definitely recommend it and will be buying it regularly from now on.
Toffee flavour not the best unfortunately
Great replacement drink easy to make in my Vitamix
It's filling and it has the nutritional value so its a 5 star for that.
Only problem is the Banana flavour doesn't taste too good in my opinion. Gotta scull it to get it down.
Thanks for the product though.
Sorry Toffee favour is gross, I would rather have the other favour
I wasn't so keen on it. Took aged to shake up and it still had lumps in it
Takes a while but you will get used to the taste. Need to try their new flavor.
2nd order, very happy with this product and will continue to purchase. Highly recommended. NZ protein needs to get their act together and offer a few more flavours, that is my only complaint. NZPROTEIN REPLY: This product is very difficult to flavour and no other flavours work with this product currently. We have tried many...
Works well, feels great. Not keen on the wee nibs though...
Great tasting, and keeps you full throughout the day
I emailed you on your product there was no reply so service is nil. The product put weight on me instead of shedding it.
It seemed healthy produc t but the GI is useless and no reply on the query.
Useless and waste of money product.. I found a better one that doesn't put weight on that I can fast with. NZPROTEIN REPLY: sorry that it may not be for everyone. We do our best.
I was reluctant to try this given some negative reviews. However after trying it l really can't understand what the fuse is all about. Blends easily, (in a nutri bullet) taste better than ok, but the main advantage is the natural formula. I would recommend it as a meal on the go. I could understand that mixed with water in a hand shaker results would not be great. It also loses a star due there is no choice in flavours.
Lovely taste. And filling
Yuck
Tastes better than I expected and keeps the hunger pangs away all afternoon at work. Great product.
I like this, it's filling enough that I can successfully replace lunch at work without feeling too hard done by. I'm not 100% sold on the flavour though so dropped a star. It's drinkable but not something I would actively choose
It would be awesome to have a selection of flavours in this range so I could cycle through them, at the moment I feel like by the end of the bag I'm never going to want to see another green banana as long as I live ;-)
I really didn’t enjoy the choc chips in the protein shake, don’t taste like chocolate at all and they’re so hard…. They ruined the whole shake for me. NZPROTEIN REPLY: they're cacao nibs. They're a superfood but are bitter by nature.
Product tastes pretty average but is very filling and helps me on night shift stops me from massively over eating
LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!! Always professional with the best products and free gifts :). I only buy from this company as I think you have the best flavour profiles. Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of this specific product and the flavour. Excellent product as always just found that the taste it left in my mouth wasn't great. I decided to go back to my whey protein. Anyways...I'll keep on testing new products and love the work you are doing. Keep it up.
Great taste and a superior meal replacement whether you are in a rush or simply want a quick fix. A must for all the plant based individuals.
Great protein, good flavour and mixes wel to give a good texture in a smoothie. Doesn’t leave a grainy after taste like others can
Surprisingly yum! The banana taste is quite subtle and natural, and I actually really like the crunch of the cacao nibs - kinda like eating sprinkles. It's definitely a thumbs up so far.
Have been having this for breakfast for months as "nutritional insurance". Great flavour and everything you need!
Very nice flavor and not artificially sweet like others I have tried. Blends very well and does not end up grainy. Will definitely purchase more.
Easy to mix and nice flavour! Great for a quick meal.
Firstly just love Nzprotein. Love to you guys. At a crossroads with this product. Can you make a chocolate flavour as well?
I've been struggling to eat enough due to new medication suppressing my appetite, and a lot of the common meal replacements aren't vegan, so finding this has been really helpful for me! It's pretty tasty and has a good range of stuff in it which helps me get what I need
❤️ First time trying this product and I was blown away from the flavour 😊🙏 And I love th@ I could mix this with the other products such as the double choc faba beans protein and the Super Greens powder, SO good... 🤤 I made it a feast! 😈
Love this product! I drink it every work day for breakfast straight after my 7.5km run to work and keeps me full until lunchtime. I also run home so it’s fair to say I’m not a light eater either.
Super convenient to keep in the locker at work and is the easiest way to get a super healthy breakfast in if you’re time poor (start work at 7am so no time to muck around with making a blender smoothie after the run).
I mix the NZ protein green super blend product in (just pour it straight into the bag and shake to mix the powders) have actually found it improves the flavour and makes it that much more nutritious and is a super convenient way to supplement my green veggie intake.
As a vegan the ingredients are ideal with the hemp protein and LSA providing essential fatty acids I would usually get by supplementing my shakes with linseed oil in absence of fish in my diet.
If convenience and nutrition trump taste this is definitely the product for you. If you’re looking for low quality but tasty I suggest another brand.
This is my second order, after reading the other reviews I have to say the cacao nibs are the best bit about the shake. Love chewing them! The banana flavour is subtle. Filling but good on the gut.
Overnight delivery - super quick. Expected to be ready to add something to this to improve the taste but I love it just with water! Will be my new go-to and will be ordering again :)
Great health benefits of this shake! And no upset stomach! Taste can improve, though. The chocolate nibs need to be grounded so it doesn’t get stuck in the throat. Plus, this needs to show health star rating, which would be ideal.
I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty these meal replacements are. I am allergic to animal milks and so I need to carefully select anything that I ingest. I have tried brands across the pricing spectrum and this by far is the best, and is a very cost effective option. There's no weird texture or after taste, it's just yummy. Shipping is lightning speed too. I ordered it on my lunch break one day and the next day when I got home it had arrived. I highly recommend this product.
Been using the shake for a few weeks now, replacing one meal per day. Sufficient as a meal replacement. I like the vanilla flavour, but the chocolate nibs not really that great. (swallow it without chewing is the best option). I would love the shake without the nibs or even a chocolate shake but it does what I bought it for, so happy with the product.
Had to get used to the taste at first but love it now. Fills me up at breakfast. Great value at this price.
The taste is good and the consistency too.
The only thing that really is bad is the chocolate ships.
When drinking from a bottle they can get stuck and is very unpleasant to drink and stop to bit them.
Please jus add Choco powder and remove the chips.
Keep the good work.
Excellent product, very nice tasting, easy to digest, doesn’t give you gas. I really like the cacao nibs they make this product something special and I look forward to the shake because of this great little ingredient. I will definitely buy this again.
I have tried so many protein/meal replacement shakes and they are grainy and disgusting and I give up on them. This one is genuinely nice! It's a vegan protein miracle!
Really not my thing. I retried a number of times, mixing it with other stuff but I cannot appreciate it. I could force myself past the banana-ish flavour but I dislike the cacao nibs. I tried to pass on to friends but haven't found any of them keen to accept the free offer I'm willing to make them, so I'm afraid I'll have to cut my losses on this purchase. I do love other NZ Protein products but not this one. I would probably try again if unflavoured and without those nibs.
Don't waste your money, extremly disappointed. The only reason I gave a 2 and not a 1 was the banana flavour when you can taste it is actually nice but the nibs completely ruin it and make it inedible for me without gagging on the flavour. I tried to sieve out the nibs but it managed to make the nib flavour more potent unfortunately. Take out the nibs and I would purchase again though. NZPROTEIN REPLY: cacao nibs are a bit bitter but are a superfood!
It is a satisfying meal replacement. Mixes well in a shaker. I like the banana flavour and the crunch of the cacoa nibs.
5 stars from me.
Not bad. It's filling, tasty, everything it needs to be. The banana nibs aren't my favourite, though - I'd have left those out or blended them up (though you can still do that yourself).
Great product, would like to see some variety in flavors
What attracted me to this product was the quality ingredients and amount of Protein per serve.
I like to have this most mornings along with Eggs on toast, I add half a banana and it tastes superb.
Keeps me full for longer and a great kick start to by day.
Highly recommend !!!
I like the flavor and the meal replacement don't make me feel too hungry during the day. I would like to see other flavors though. I did find really nice to receive an hand written thank you note with the parcel.
I have been using your protein powder for a few years now and had never tired the meal replacement before. I was looking for something for when you are busy and on the go and reach that 'I am starving but there's nothing healthy to eat' scenario. And..... this product hits that spot perfectly. I dont know if it is coincidence or not but I had a shake for supper and the next morning my 5.30am workout I was on point and had a lot more energy. This shake tastes nice, fills a gap and mixes well with oats in blender etc ...
Very happy customer
Not too bad
Due to finding out that I have become lactose and gluten intolerant and a result of pancreatic cancer I need a breakfast replacement. Mixed with fruit in a smoothie works
Tastes pretty good and is filling. If I could change anything it would be the packaging, it's a bit of a messy job getting the powder out, especially when it's running low, and it would be great if it was able to be recycled here, or else was biodegradable.
Initially thought the flavour was average. 3 heaped with water. Next day tried it with milk, some frozen berries, and a vitamin C tablet, no issues at all. Only 4 stars as I agree with other posts, could be more flavours.
I was a little hesitant about the flavour as I don’t particularly like banana flavoured things but it’s actually really nice! I like the cacao nibs, the variety in texture is nice. I hope they are able to add other flavours to the range soon. I will still buy this one as well but it would be nice to mix it up sometimes. The powder mixes well in a regular shaker. I do wish it was a little thicker but also appreciate that it’s not full of fillers to achieve that.
It pains me to write this as I love your protein powders, but this Meal Replacement Shake is hideous!!! The cacao nibs are disgusting, and about an hour after I drank it, I threw it up :-( I wasn't ill in any other way, once my body purged it I was fine. I am so disappointed, as it worked out a lot cheaper than other MR shakes.
I found the meal replacement great, my only concern is that it only comes in 1 flavour. Please give us additional flavors as this stuff is great. Would certainly recommend to my friends if the flavour range was larger.
Great stuff.
A protein boost with nutrients. This is ideal. I have one a day. It ya Tate’s awesome as well.
Great meal replacement for me being lactose intolerant. I’ve never been able to stomach pea protein and I have had no issues with this. Taste is pretty good, the only downside is that I’m not a huge fan of the Cacao nibs. Would recommend anyway.
Easy on the guts (I have IBS so it can be hard to find food that is OK), made from real food, filling and tasty (even though I don't like bananas). I find the cacao nibs a bit bitter but overall a great product
+2 stars for nice taste
-1 star for cacao nibs—not sure about them and they don’t really add flavour
-1 star because it turns out very watery when mixed with water (surprise, surprise!)—kinda wish it had thickened up after leaving it overnight in the fridge, but it was the same.
-1 star for not having any other flavours to try!
Will try with milk instead or maybe blended with ice and other fruit, but if it doesn’t work out after this packet, probably will look elsewhere.
I am blown away by this product. It tastes incredible. I could drink this all day. Love it !
Personally I really hate flavour of vegan protein powders. So I was sceptical. However I need a simple replacement that is lower in carbs and also fats ( pancreas malfunction). This ticked all the boxes. Really, really filling, amazing flavour and texture :)
Great meal replacement, I like the crunchy nibs, fills me up for a good 2-3 hours at lunch until my next snack. Would love to see more flavours
This shake is amazing - flavour is just right and full of goodness will definitely be buying again once in stock.
My favourite product so far - this is yum and filling, have it for breakfast each day.
I have struggled to find a protein that I can enjoy as well as consuming multiple healthy nutrients, in a protein shake! I struggle with IBS and am dairy intolerant, this protein only made me feel better, more active and alive ! Flavour is great ! Also works well as an ice cream with frozen bananas. Would highly recommend! Please bring out more flavours ! NZPROTEIN REPLY: thank you! We'll consider more flavours in future if demand grows. Note that due to the superfoods in this product the flavours don't all work and can be a bit limited.
I like the cacao in it and grain texture. I prefer a ripe tasting banana to the green banana. I found the green taste rather strong. Excellent communication and quick delivery! Especially to rural address.
I really like the taste, some may be put off by the texture (crunchy bits), but on the whole I was impressed.
Fantastic !
Tried out this new product for breakfast, it tastes wonderful.
I was never keen on breakfast, but now look forward to my next morning shake !
Also, I only felt like eating something 4 hours after my shake, really fueled me up.
Hope this gets popular and there may be more flavor to choose
I look forward to a shake after gym time ??
