Meal Replacement NZ

NZ Protein's Meal Replacement Shake is a superfood blend and is a formulated meal or smoothie booster.

A formulated meal is a legal term for a product that contains not only protein but fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. This differs from a protein shake which just typically provides protein.

It can therefore be used at any time of the day to replace meals.

Ours is Better

Our Meal Replacement Shake (MRP) is of much higher quality than other MRPs available on the market because the ingredients used are better.

NZProtein's MRP contains quality protein from hemp, fats from cacao, nuts and seeds, and carbohydrates from green bananas.

Here's how it compares:

Legal Product Type

Meal Replacement Shake.

Meal Replacement Shake.

Protein Source, Typical

Organic hemp protein.

Hemp is a superfood. It's a rich source of protein, essential omega fatty acids, dietary fibre, minerals, antioxidants and phyto-nutrients that can benefit your health.

It's slower digesting to provide a sustained release of protein.

It's plant based and vegan too.

Whey protein.

Don't get us wrong - whey is amazing and we stock the grass fed type from NZ which is the best of the best.

For a meal replacement however - whey is fast digesting, not vegan, and natural lactose can cause some to experience feelings of bloat.

This is nit-picky though. The real clincher is in the fat and carbs below.

Fat Source, Typical

Hemp powder, cacao nibs, almonds, linseed and sunflower seeds.

All of the above are superfoods and each serve of our MRP has over 5 grams of essential fatty acids.

Vegetable oils.

You know, the kind that we get told to avoid. The kind that are high in omega 6 fatty acids and are polyunsaturated, meaning that they can break down easily to form harmful compounds.

Carbohydrate Source, Typical

Green banana flour.

Another superfood due to its resistant starch - a type of fermentable fibre, which means that it isn't broken down and converted to sugar.

It's good for blood sugar levels, is diabetic friendly, aids in digestion due to the prebiotic fibre, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Maltodextrin.

Maltodextrin is cheap to produce and is often used as a filler in processed foods.

It's higher on the glycemic index scale (GI) than regular sugar. It can spike blood sugar levels after consumption so may be useful after intensive exercise, but not during the day as a meal.

Usage

Depending on your nutritional requirements take 1-2 servings daily as meals. MRPs aren't to totally replace your diet or be used as a sole source of nutrition.

Speed of Digestion

starstarstar

Slower digesting for a sustained energy release.

Slower may be more beneficial as this product is designed to be able to replace meals.

Fast digesting.

May not be as beneficial as slower digesting sources.

Taste

Typical for superfood sources. Whey and maltodextrin type MRPs will taste the best, but the banana chocolate nib flavour is pleasant.

Whey and maltodextrin taste the best.

Suggested Use

Mix three heaped scoops (50g) in 500ml of chilled water, milk or into a smoothie.

Depending on your nutritional requirements take 1-2 servings of NZPROTEIN Meal Replacement daily as meals. It can be used at any time of the day to replace meals. This product must not be used as a sole source of nutrition, or as a total diet replacement.

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.
Review by: Stacey on Wed, Dec 2, 2020 6:06 AM
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.
Review by: Anonymous on Thu, Oct 1, 2020 8:44 PM
A protein boost with nutrients. This is ideal. I have one a day. It ya Tate’s awesome as well.
Review by: gary on Thu, Sep 3, 2020 1:07 PM
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
Review by: Julia on Mon, Aug 10, 2020 10:26 AM
+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 !
Review by: gary on Tue, Jul 28, 2020 7:54 AM
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 :)
Review by: Linda on Fri, Jul 3, 2020 2:28 PM
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.
Review by: Natalie on Tue, May 5, 2020 1:27 PM
My favourite product so far - this is yum and filling, have it for breakfast each day.
Review by: Anna on Wed, Apr 1, 2020 6:33 AM
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.
Review by: Anonymous on Fri, Feb 28, 2020 4:42 PM
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.
Review by: Gemma on Tue, Feb 11, 2020 12:27 PM
I really like the taste, some may be put off by the texture (crunchy bits), but on the whole I was impressed.
Review by: Rob on Mon, Jan 27, 2020 9:30 AM
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 ??
