Saturo Meal Replacement Shake Strawberry | 36 g Protein, sugar-free, 400 kcal | Drinkable Food with Valuable Nutrients | 6 x 400 ml

As a PhD researcher, time has always been a somewhat limited commodity for me. Though fast food options are aplenty these days, these are clearly not the most healthy option. And preparing a healthy meal can be both time consuming and costly. Herein lies the problem: a choice between time and health (and, for me, that equals science vs. health - and I love science!). But this dilemma may finally have a solution. I first heard about 'complete foods' a few years ago, when the first (Soylent) went on sale in the US. The idea: everything a person needs to live a healthy life, in the form of a powder you simply add water to and shake. Unfortunately though, Soylent did not (and still does not) ship to Europe. Since then, a number of companies have started producing complete foods in Europe. I've tried a few (Joylent, Huel, and Queal), but none of these powdered foods were quite what I was looking for. But then came Saturo. It is a pre-made 'ready to drink' liquid food that is a game changer. I first tried it a few months ago, and now replace about 80% of my meals with it. Why? Because it tastes amazing, it is filling, it makes me feel healthier than ever before, and (importantly!) it take 5 seconds to open a bottle containing a healthy meal :-) I mostly use Saturo if I need to work late in the evening and don't have time to spare preparing a meal (the original, neutral, flavour is great for this). I do also love to have the coffee one in the morning for breakfast - it tastes like a premium latte. The chocolate one tastes like chocolate milk, though you can also put it in the microwave for about 1.5 minutes to make a lovely hot chocolate. I've also taken it travelling, as it is a wonderful source of energy when hiking. It's also vegan and gluten-free. Personally, I've been a carnivore for my entire life, and never imagined that I'd find a vegan food that tastes nicer than meat. I kid you not, I'd rather drink this than have a steak... and I can't believe I just said that. What about disadvantages? Honestly, the only one is the cost. At the current Amazon price, it is £3.45 per meal. It is a little cheaper on the Saturo website (I get mine on a subscription for about £2.50 per meal). Amazon does deliver next day though, wheras if you order from Saturo directly it takes 4-5 days to ship to the UK (from Austria). The price aside though, I can't recommend it enough. If this is the future of food, then I was sold from the very first taste.

If you're looking for a chocolatey delicious shake... You're probably not looking in the right place. These shakes aren't designed to be delicious. They're designed to meet dietary needs and be palatable. Smell - pretty neutral, doesn't smell like chocolate, smells like a meal replacement shake. Taste - you can taste chocolate, not milk chocolate, but a coco chocolate. Its palatable taste. Consistency - no lumps, no bumps, just a surprisingly smooth consistency. Price - overly priced like every shake on the market. I went for the saturo because its 100 extra more calories than its leading competitor. There isn't much to say really. Most shakes designed as meal replacements, are pretty bland and taste fine if you aren't picky. They're all seemingly made to meet dietary and nutritional needs. I don't exactly savour the taste as much as I drink it in one and go about my day knowing I've just had a meal. Pros - 500 calories per serving Smooth and palatable Seemingly dietary/nutritionally balanced Cons - Expensive

I’ve found that working from home in quarantine is making lunchtimes feel like an incredible chore, so I did some research and chose these as the best option to try for meal replacement, as they don’t look to lose you weight or build muscle, they just replace food. I’m really loving them, it’s takes me minutes to drink for lunch and then I have an hour free to do other stuff and distract my brain a bit from work and home, and I’m really loving the gentle taste of them. I drink them chilled from the fridge and I’m definitely going to buy some more flavours to try (I’ve tried vanilla and really enjoy it) for some variety. I might keep getting these after quarantine and take them to work for some days lunches too! EDIT: Over a year later, I am back in the office at work, but still drinking these every day for lunch. I've tried some others in case I was missing something better or cheaper, but never liked them, these are my favourites and I buy three cases every month (or if Amazon don't have a supply of this flavour I buy straight from the manufacturers website, but delivery is from Germany and takes ages so I prefer Amazon when they have supplies). I've discovered also that they freeze and defrost fine - for a while I was in a temporary office with no fridge, so I froze a carton overnight, took it with me wrapped in some paper or cardboard to keep the cold, and had an icy drink to have come lunchtime (and sometimes a slush-puppy, which was really nice!).

Lo bevi per sostituire un pasto l'ogico quando non puoi mangiare casa buono il sapore a tutte le vitamine .

Produit complet, bon goût, suffisant pour ressentir la satiété au bout de 20 minutes ( je ne le bois pas d'un coup, je le bois en 20 minutes, comme un repas)..

Me gusta el sabor y que por fin he encontrado un "drink" vegano. Después de numerosos botes de proteína de leche de vaca por fin tengo leche de soja. Uso 1 bote para dos veces, sale más económico.

Está bien, de primeras tiene buen sabor pero luego te deja un regustillo algo raro. Cumple su función pues quita el hambre durante dos o tres horas

Bastante bueno el sabor a chocolate y quita el hambre
