1. So good!

   Rating

   I love these meals, especially the Thai Curry and Mac & Cheese! I’ve found them so useful for work lunches, and was surprised at the difference it made to my mental workload- before I was shopping and prepping healthy lunches, and these save so much time. The flavours are delicious, I love that there’s so many flavours, and they’re really satisfying. I really don’t understand the bad reviews- I’m definitely a picky eater and I love them, plus if you’re trying to go plant based that’s all done for you. Will definitely buy again!

2. Carb control made easy

   Rating

   I used to have sandwiches and salads at the work café for lunch, and it's tricky to measure the macros. Even the salads often come soaked in oil and unknown quantities of carbs. Fed up of guessing my nutrients and struggling to shift a few lbs, I recently gave these a whirl. I was a bit apprehensive—they seem to be a Marmite product, with love it / hate it reviews—but in all honesty I reckon these are a real winner. I've loved all the flavours I've tried so far, and I find it's best to make it in a vacuum food flask, as it gets a better texture. I've even made the smaller portion option to go with some meat or fish and vegetables for a quick midweek dinner. I'm saving money too, as it works out much cheaper. Not to mention those stubborn lbs are finally coming off. Sack off the sarnies and try one!

3. Unpleasant

   Rating

   I've tried 3 flavours of these now. Firstly, they look nothing like the advert videos, they're completely fake! They also all have the same unpleasant musty taste that makes me feel quite ill after eating them. I had to return the Thai curry one as it was completely inedible and I replaced it with the Mac n cheese. I thought they couldn't go wrong with that but I was mistaken. Same unpleasant taste and odd texture. Korean noodle is the best out of the 3 but still wouldn't get again and I put a lot of nice seasoning in to give it a nicer taste. Really disappointed that these are so bad as I spent a lot of money on them and they don't refund opened items, but you can't try it without opening it.

4. Don't buy

   Rating

   I am far from a picky eater, I think this is the first thing in my entire life that I've refused to eat. The texture is unpleasant and grainy and the taste was like nothing I've ever tasted. It was really awful and completely inedible. Paid to exchange it as I couldn't touch it again after the first attempt. I even tried putting other things in it to make it edible but nothing helped. No idea where the good reviews are coming from, I absolutely don't recommend buying this.

5. My new favourite

   Rating

   Due to 8 years of untreated bad mental health and a stroke, my eating habits were appaling. I stopped wanting to cook for myself so had a steady diet of sandwiches, pot or packet noodles, and snack food Not eating loads, often once or twice a day, but eating them instead of a decent meal Add to that the fact i didnt leave the house unless i absolutely had to, my excercise was pretty much non existent. After avoiding the doctors for 8 years, i finally went and got the mental health diagnosis, but got the added bonus of pre-diabetes bordering full blown type 2. Looked around at lots of meal replacements but wasnt interested in slim fast shakes, slimmers world products etc. I need to reset my eating habits and get back to eating 3 or 4 times a day, whilst staying under the calories needed. I'm eating 'normal' foods but i'm having to re-educate myself with foods (carbs, fats, calories etc) and i know i'm going to have days when i dont want to cook at all or not know what to eat- Enter Protein Works . I bought 250g/500g & 1kg bags of different shakes from here so i can switch up the flavours, added some extreme greens but was surprised they offered these supermeals. I have only ordered Garlic Mac & Thai sensation so far but the day they arrived i was having a bad day. I mixed up the thai sensation one and found it surprisingly tasty, but one thing i will note, the 3 scoops/200ml water leaves it similar to a sightly watery pot noodle despite leaving it for approx 10 minutes. I'm going to try 175ml next time and add a little bit as needed after its been sitting. I was dreading the replacement shakes & meals but i have absolutely no doubt i will still be using these way after my weight, blood sugars and cholesterol levels have dropped to normal levels and my type 2 is in remission. BONUS - Hubby is away a lot camping at work (festival security) and eats worse than i did for the duration hes gone. Hes tried one of these meals and hes now wanting to get some to take away with him.
