Review of 100%FOOD Meal Replacement Drinks

[adinserter name=”google-468×60″]

Ingredients, Calories, and Nutrition:

Each 100%FOOD meal replacement drink contains bioavailable nutrient-dense ingredients. Nutrient density is a simple way to connect nutrients with calories.

100%FOOD provides a concentrated amount of valuable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, essential fatty acids, and phytonutrients, to name a few. The ingredients in 100%FOOD are based on the daily caloric intake of 2,000 calories for adults (National Institutes of Health). 100%FOOD splits the daily 2000 calorie requirement into 3 intakes of 670 calories each. By consuming 670 calories for breakfast, 670 calories for lunch and 670 calories for dinner, you ensure that your body gets everything it needs.

100%FOOD is gluten and dairy free. 100%FOOD is vegan.

100%FOOD only contains natural sources of nutrients:

Organic rice flour and banana flakes are the main sources of carbohydrates.

Non-GMO soy and hemp hearts are the main sources of protein.

Flax seeds, hemp hearts, and soy lecithin are the main sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats.

Sesame seeds are an excellent source of copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, and dietary fiber.

Dextrose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in the body and is the body’s main source of energy for our brain. Dextrose is used to sweeten the blends.

A special vitamin mix enriches each meal with all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

Shipping:

My sample order was mailed on March 12th and I received it here in Germany on March 21st. I’m impressed with the fact that it only took nine days to arrive from the United States.

Packaging:

I opened the box and found six nicely packed labeled plastic bottles of 100%FOOD. Though I am not a fan of plastic packaging, this makes taking food to school/work/camping much more convenient. The cost of shipping glass bottles would be significantly more expensive and would increase the chance of receiving damaged products. If plastic bottles are an issue for you, Space Nutrients Station also offer bags of 100%FOOD for sale on the website.

Preparation:

You only need to add liquid (water, almond milk, juice), shake the bottle for about 20 to 30 seconds and enjoy. I used water for four of the bottles and homemade almond milk (flavored with vanilla beans) for the other two bottles.

After about 5 to 10 minutes, the drinks will become thicker. You might need to add more liquid to thin them out.

Digestion:

I had no problems with gas. My stools were normal. 100%FOOD seems to give a person all the nutrition they need without the extra waste that is normally digested in the stomach. Seed shells will show up in your stool because they are difficult for the body to digest, but this is nothing to be concerned about.

I used room-temperature liquids to mix with the flavors. Room-temperature water is easier for our bodies to digest.

Flavor Review:

I received one bottle of the following flavors:

1.) 100%FOOD Double Protein Chocolate (favorite!)

Liquid Used: Room-temperature water

I love this flavor! It tastes and smells like chocolate pudding. For me, the recipe is perfect. It is not bitter, salty, spicy or too sweet. I would not change a thing.

2.) 100%FOOD Raw Organic (2nd favorite!)

Liquid Used: Room-temperature water

I really like this flavor and it smells amazing! It tastes like a cross between oatmeal and cake batter. I also taste hints of vanilla and banana. It is sweet, but not too sweet. This flavor does not need any added ingredients to make it taste better.

3.) 100%FOOD Double Protein Organic

Liquid Used: Homemade almond milk (flavored with vanilla beans)

This is absolutely delicious and it smells wonderful! It tastes like cake batter. I taste hints of vanilla and banana. I am sure this flavor would taste just as good with water in place of the almond milk, but the almond milk fits perfectly. This flavor seems to have the perfect amount of dextrose. It is not too sweet and it does not need any additional sweetener.

4.) 100%FOOD Low-Carb Chocolate

Liquid Used: Room-temperature water

Because this flavor tastes similar to the 100%FOOD Double Protein Chocolate flavor, I let my husband test this as a flavoring for his morning coffee. He drinks a lot of coffee (five to six cups a day) and the bottle lasted about a week. Because of the seeds, it was not totally suitable for this purpose. The seeds settle to the bottom of the mug and produced a murky chocolate coffee pudding concoction that was not entirely unpleasant. It was a little embarrassing drinking it in front of his colleagues. He said it looked like he was drinking chocolate oatmeal instead of coffee.

He said it was a wonderful flavor for his coffee. If you want to use 100%FOOD powders in your coffee, blend it in a NutriBullet first. This grinds up the seeds and makes the coffee more pleasant to drink.

5.) 100%FOOD Chocolate

Liquid Used: Homemade almond milk (flavored with vanilla beans)

Though I prefer vanilla over chocolate, these chocolate flavors are delicious! My taste buds are happy. This is like drinking a dessert for dinner. The vanilla-flavored almond milk is perfect blended in with this flavor.

6.) 100%FOOD Low-Carb Organic

Liquid Used: Room-temperature water

This tastes like a mix of cake batter and oatmeal. I love it! I do not need to add any sweetener. It is already sweetened to my liking. This flavor powder clumps more and I had to add water to thin it out. This can easily be resolved by shaking the dry mix in the bottle before adding the liquid to it. It also comes in a bigger bottle.

What I Like About 100%FOOD:

There is no need to cook, bake, shop for ingredients, or wash any extra dishes. 100%FOOD saves me time.

100%FOOD is vegan.

100%FOOD is gluten-free.

100%FOOD contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives.

100%FOOD is produced in a FDA certified facility.

100%FOOD is perfect as a meal on the go. I rarely have time to prepare a meal. If you also have a busy lifestyle, 100%FOOD is the perfect to alternative to snacking on junk food. You get everything you need and it doesn’t cost you any time to prepare it. You can drink it in the car, in the elevator, at your desk, while you are hiking, etc.

100%FOOD is delicious and nutritious! Eating nutrient dense foods is one of the healthiest and ways to eat.

I’m not a fan of soy, but 100%FOOD contains non-GMO soy.

What I Do Not Like About 100%FOOD:

I don’t like that the seeds get stuck in my teeth when I drink 100%FOOD, but they are fun to chew on. I could blend the 100%FOOD in my NutriBullet and eliminate the problem of the seeds getting stuck in my teeth. Though blending 100%FOOD would make it easier to drink, it defeats some of the body’s digestive mechanisms. It’s important to chew food to produce saliva.

Saliva moistens the seeds and makes 100%FOOD easier to swallow. The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion of dietary starches and fats. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, protecting our teeth from bacterial decay. Remember to chew 100%FOOD drinks and not just gulp them down.

The added vitamins and minerals are nice, but I am not a fan of the cyanocobalamin form of B12. I prefer the methylcobalamin form of B12.

Other Observations:

If you blend up the dry mix for future consumption, remember that the oils that were in the flax seeds will dry up. To receive the full benefit of consuming a nutritionally complete meal, you will have to drink it soon after blending it. This is another reason I don’t have a problem with chewing the seeds. Chewing the seeds is also good for your jaws.

Adding cold water or ice to the drink makes it more difficult for our bodies to digest. Chewing the seeds and drink mix for a good 20 to 30 seconds before swallowing it, will warm it up and make it easier for our bodies to digest.

I was very thirsty about 10 minutes after finishing each bottle of 100%FOOD.

100%FOOD will get thick when you don’t drink it right away. I had to add more liquid (water/almond milk) and shake it up before consuming the second half of a few of the bottles.

Because I enjoy the taste of 100%FOOD and it is a little on the thick side, it takes me about ten minutes to consume a bottle. You can add more liquid to 100%FOOD to thin it out.

One bottle of 100%FOOD kept me satisfied for about two and a half to three and a half hours before becoming hungry again.

I felt energized during the two days I consumed 100%FOOD.

Other than homemade almond milk, I added nothing extra to any of the six bottles of 100%FOOD I received. While I enjoyed the flavor of all six bottles, I think occasionally adding ingredients to the flavors would be fun. I think peanut butter, cinnamon, shredded coconut, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, chia seeds, avocado, cashew butter, coconut milk or some kale would make great additions and provide variety to the flavors.

Sometimes the powdered food clumps and does not mix well when shaken. This can be resolved by shaking the dry mix in the bottle before adding the liquid to it. I also never filled my bottles to the top with liquid. I shake the bottle until it is blended and then add more liquid.
