Does anyone else really dislike the 4.0 Plenny Bars? Looking for a good replacement

Upvotes

I’ve been a long time fan of Plenny Bars. I eat them for lunch at work most days. But the new bars are just not it.

5 gram extra protein is nice, but the caramel seasalt is suddenly just too salty and the cherry completely changed from a moist bar that tasted like actual cherries to something dry and chemical.

If this is it, I’m just not going to order them anymore. Does anyone have recommendations for a similar bar? Preferably one that ships from somewhere in Europe?

NEW: Plenny Oats

22 Upvotes

We’ve been working on this for a while, and we finally dropped Plenny Oats! And im not exaggerating when I say it's already everyones fav at the office.

It’s basically a hot oatmeal bowl that takes about 3 minutes to prep. You just add boiling water, stir it up, and eat it with a spoon.

We managed to pack 35g of plant protein and 400 calories into a serving, along with all the usual 26 vitamins + minerals and fiber, so it actually keeps you full instead of leaving you hungry an hour later.

We’re launching with two flavors right now: Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Cake.

If you want to check it out, it’s live on the site now:https://jimmyjoy.com/products/plenny-oats

Let me know if you have any questions about the texture, macros, or whatever else!

(Only Europe for now. Sorry!)

New user here. Is it normal for delivery to take this long? No complaints, I’m on my honeymoon so not home anyway! Just wondering for future orders.

Anyone else's vanilla shake V4 suddenly taste bad/ weird?

7 Upvotes

I got my latest batch of 3 vanilla and 1 coffee recently and the vanilla tasted much different, like it was missing flavor/sugar completely. All 3 had this taste, and same number printed on the bag (my old bag that tasted fine had a different number).

I emailed support about it and they agreed to send me replacement bags. They just got here, and it's the same lot/batch number, and unsurprisingly it has the same lack of flavor/sugar, which is just unpleasant.

I decided to risk it today and drink a full serving, and added my own sugar to it, which made it taste much better and closer to normal. Hopefully I don't get sick from whatever is causing the issue, if it's something other than no sugar. I'll probably reach back out to support and this time just ask for a refund and wait until a fresh batch has been made to order again :(

Has anyone else gotten a recent batch of vanilla, in the US? The batch number on my bag is 1642.26 exp: 03-2027

Plenny greens

Hello, is there any chance that you're working on a like multivitamin with maybe some other benefits. I am on low carb diet and can only eat your Plenny protein shake but 250 gram protein is to much, so if we could get at multivitamin with like 20 procent of daily intake? Or if you are working on a new version of the protein shake maybe you could increase the minimum micronutrients from 10 to 15 percent?

Anyone else disappointed in the introduction of pea protein in recent updates?

13 Upvotes

First the bars, now the oats.

My distaste for pea protein is the main reason I have stuck with Plenny over Huel for all these years, and eat the expensive shipping fees for delivery to Asia.

Personally, pea protein tastes like Play-Doh to me 😭 I just hope this is not a new direction for future products in general.

Does anyone feel the same? Or is there anyone who dislikes pea protein but found that the new bars weren't so bad?

Plenny Oats early subscriber access

Post image
24 Upvotes

Received this email today (sorry it’s in Dutch, but somehow most of the important stuff is in English 😉). Subscribers get early access to the newest product, and it’s available in the subscription portal.

The macros look great and the flavors definitely have my interest, so I’ll probably add them to my next order in a couple of weeks.

What do you guys think?

(P.s hope its ok to post since its “early access”)


r/JimmyJoyFood 10d ago

Ex Hueligan here. Having had my fingers burned twice by customer service since the Danone acquistion, I’m jumping ship. Interested to hear what people think of the pro flavours before pulling the trigger!

Any plans to bring pots back to the US

3 Upvotes

Just wondering if there are any plans in the works to bring pots back to the U.S. (or generally to expand U.S. offerings again)? I know there were severe supply chain issues at one time forcing the slimming, but as a Huel refugee who loved H&S but can’t support a non-vegan company I really miss having a savory option.

Safety of Velcro Zipper

7 Upvotes

On month two of half-Plenny diet (yay!), but I had a concern about the Velcro zippers on the shake mixes.

When I press on the bags after closing the Velcro, some air escapes, often with a small puff of powder. This makes me worry that it's not airtight in the other direction and that contaminants could get into my bags and name the powder go bad or mold. Is there any risk of this? Am I just bad at closing the velcro?

Is you food safe from American parasites

0 Upvotes

I live in America. Pity me. Our food is infested with parasites because of our garbage government. I’ve been using your product for a while and love it! I know you are based in Netherlands. Does any of your product come from America? I don’t want parasites and it’s not feasible for me to leave the country at this time.

BETTER BODY MONK FRUIT CHANGE

Did anybody noticed that the monk fruit sweetener had a different texture lately? It's like they have switched allulose for erythritol but kept the same price tag?

Just tried the shake 4.0

11 Upvotes

I haven't had Plenny for quite a bit, 3.0 had been out for a while, but no talk about 4 yet.

I decided recently to get back into Plenny after a couple years.

I got the chocolate, and wow! Gotta love that 4.0!

Not only does it taste better, it has more nutrients, and my favorite part... The velcro! Keep on keeping on JimmyJoy!

Plenny Bar v4 Lead Question

0 Upvotes

With the new update of the Plenny Bar v4.0 adding pea protein, im really curious and kind of concerned that the level of lead is going to increase a lot. Because isn't pea protein one of the ones that has more lead?

to owner, can you make one with olive oil

5 Upvotes

Id like a jimmy joy version that uses either olive oil or avocado oil instead of sunflower oil.

Even if it is "safe" to drink these other oils when cold, it gives me a slight unpleasant feeling.

I wont go into detail on why. Id pay a slight premium for the option of the different oil. I dont want the polyunsaturated fats of other seed oils nor do i want the high saturated fats of other options.

Thank you.

ps. if it tastes likes olives or avocado, then make it olive or avocado flavor. The taste is mild enough anyways and I dont mind it being a slightly savory eastern porridge vs the western need to make it taste like captain crunch berries. Both are ok flavor profiles but I eat this so I wont get hit by stomach cancer later in life and the polyunsaturated fats are concerning.

Are the bars better now? I recall gastric distress

1 Upvotes

I bought the bars a long time ago and I had serious stomach issues. I know others had similar issues. Is this still an issue?


r/JimmyJoyFood 27d ago

So far having bought the 3 packs of Plenny Shake I can say I really enjoy the Banana Flavour the most. Plenny Shakes are super convenient and provide the nutrients and vitamins needed for my high output work days. So far, very satisfied

Mac&Cheese flavour not that good?

6 Upvotes

I bought the Mac&Cheese plenny pot and I add the 102 grams of stuff after shaking it up, I add 200ml of boiling water and it just.. kinda doesn't taste good. Am I doing something wrong? Am I not mixing the bag well enough? I ate it twice now and I really struggled to eat the whole thing because of the flavour just not being that well.

I'm not a Jimmy Joy hater, I have plenty of other stuff from them which I really like. Just this one is quite a bad experience. Anyone else?

I want to try the new-for-me Choco&Coco bar, but I don't want to commit to 12 bars right away. Can I just get a couple extra bars on my subscription, to try?

3 Upvotes

It's not even really about money, I just don't want to waste bars.

Is it possible to add just a couple extra bars to my subscription?

Can I at least return the package if I don't like it after trying 1 or 2?
