I love Plenny Bars. They are probably 2/3 of all my meals. However, I unfortunately missed out of the Pizza flavored ones and it genuinely might be the biggest FOMO of my life! I gueeeess my question is, are there any chances of bringing back the pizza flavor or some other kind of savory plenny bar in the future? The new crisps look amazing, but unfortunately I am in the USA and thus cannot order them.

Anyway, I love JimmyJoy and I just want to give the team props! I will support for life!

I gave Jimmy Joy a try after Huel was acquired by Danone, but good lord this is so much worse. No matter what I did, either more or less water, blender or shaking, mixing oat milk, some fruit, etc Jimmy joy comes out like chalk and tastes absolutely vile. I can't even stomach the thought of finishing a bag and will be switching back to Huel, which tasted drastically better.

Has anybody had any luck with the money back guarantee for the first order?

I’ve begged JJ multiple times publicly to do a savoury snack so I thought it’d be fitting to leave a quick review.

Texture: 10/10
They are light, crunchy, almost puffy. A bit less dense than a regular tortilla - but for me that’s a good thing.

Flavour: 9/10
I got both flavours, and so far I seem to be craving them both equally! The flavours are definitely what they claim to be (at least to me), the only small nitpicky thing is that sometimes you do have a crisp that has a little less flavouring on it - although it doesn’t bother me as I just munch away at the next one.

Nutrition: 10/10
What’s not to like? Super clean crisp with just lentils & sunflower oil baked. I’m not sure how exactly they got the full vitamins & mineral blend in there here but it’s cool that we got to a world of “complete crisps” before GTA6.

I like the Plenny bars. Not the taste so much; actually hard to find one that is okay for a while. It's that they make me feel the same as when I eat a perfectly healthy meal.

My poos though are too much on the hard side with them. Ground lentil seeds help a bit, but don't soften things up evenly - it's more like a mix between too hard and nearly fluid parts, then.

Drinking a lot - 3l of tea per day plus protein shakes - doesn't fully solve the problem either.

Any experience with that?

Not much to say, they taste exactly as advertised, so there are no surprises there.

The texture is good. My only real critique is the taste (bear with me): I feel like the flavor isn't super consistent between chips in the same bag.

As a result, some bites have a heavy concentration of seasoning, making the taste of those bites too strong for me, especially the sour cream & onion.

I'd recommend shaking the bag well before opening and eating them. Otherwise, these are amazing.

I'd say that if you eat a whole bag, you won't feel as full as you would with a bar or shake, but it's still satisfying enough imo.

As for a negative? Maybe the use of E340i, which is very easy to over-consume given how common it is in everyday products but, at the same time, most ingredient scanning apps seem to fearmonger against anything with additives, so take this critique with a pinch of salt.

On the website and the nutrition label, it's missing how much folate is in the Plenny Shakes for v4.0. The ingredients list includes folic acid, though.
