The Protein Works shake ticks all the boxes for me!
The Protein Works shake ticks all the boxes for me - I follow a plant based diet and found I needed to increase my protein intake.
This one does it well and tastes good too!
It was easy to order and arrived promptly.
(I bought mine after my wife had bought hers and let me try it! The only negative was that she managed to get a free drinks bottle with hers and I missed that promo... )

Fancy!
All-round lovely experience. Website looked fancy and very easy to use use. Lots of information on there without being overwhelming. Didnt "shop around" because I was looking for one thing specifically, but that product page was great.
Check out was easy.
Delivery was 2 days quicker than predicted so a very happy suprise there.
The bottle of the tablets I bought also looked fancy. Really gave off "we're legit" vibes. Which is comforting when you're buying tablets off a random website!
Unsure on the tablets themselves yet. Too early to comment!
But would definitely shop with them again if there is ever something else like this that I need.

A tasty meal replacement.
I recently bought the 2 week meal replacement package and, having tried protein shakes from other brands, I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. No bloating, no horrid aftertaste and they really do fill you up (even when mixed with water). If you are looking for a tasty meal supplement that does exactly what it says it will, then this is the product for you. I'll definitely be buying more.
