Meal Replacement NZ
NZ Protein's Meal Replacement Shake is a superfood blend and is a formulated meal or smoothie booster.
A formulated meal is a legal term for a product that contains not only protein but fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. This differs from a protein shake which just typically provides protein.
It can therefore be used at any time of the day to replace meals.
Ours is Better
Our Meal Replacement Shake (MRP) is of much higher quality than other MRPs available on the market because the ingredients used are better.
NZProtein's MRP contains quality protein from hemp, fats from cacao, nuts and seeds, and carbohydrates from green bananas.
Here's how it compares:

Protein Source, Typical |
Organic hemp protein. Hemp is a superfood. It's a rich source of protein, essential omega fatty acids, dietary fibre, minerals, antioxidants and phyto-nutrients that can benefit your health. It's slower digesting to provide a sustained release of protein. It's plant based and vegan too. |
Whey protein. Don't get us wrong - whey is amazing and we stock the grass fed type from NZ which is the best of the best. For a meal replacement however - whey is fast digesting, not vegan, and natural lactose can cause some to experience feelings of bloat. This is nit-picky though. The real clincher is in the fat and carbs below. |
Fat Source, Typical |
Hemp powder, cacao nibs, almonds, linseed and sunflower seeds. All of the above are superfoods and each serve of our MRP has over 5 grams of essential fatty acids. |
Vegetable oils. You know, the kind that we get told to avoid. The kind that are high in omega 6 fatty acids and are polyunsaturated, meaning that they can break down easily to form harmful compounds. |
Carbohydrate Source, Typical |
Green banana flour. Another superfood due to its resistant starch - a type of fermentable fibre, which means that it isn't broken down and converted to sugar. It's good for blood sugar levels, is diabetic friendly, aids in digestion due to the prebiotic fibre, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals. |
Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is cheap to produce and is often used as a filler in processed foods. It's higher on the glycemic index scale (GI) than regular sugar. It can spike blood sugar levels after consumption so may be useful after intensive exercise, but not during the day as a meal. |
Usage |
Depending on your nutritional requirements take 1-2 servings daily as meals. MRPs aren't to totally replace your diet or be used as a sole source of nutrition. |

Speed of Digestion |
Slower digesting for a sustained energy release. Slower may be more beneficial as this product is designed to be able to replace meals. |
Fast digesting. May not be as beneficial as slower digesting sources. |
Taste |
Typical for superfood sources. Whey and maltodextrin type MRPs will taste the best, but our MRP is pleasant. |
Whey and maltodextrin taste the best. |
Suggested Use

Place a Review on this product
Would love another flavour option for sure as i do like the banana/cacao option though :)
Will definitely be buying again.
Would love there to be no scoop in bags though.
Only problem is the Banana flavour doesn't taste too good in my opinion. Gotta scull it to get it down.
Thanks for the product though.
It seemed healthy produc t but the GI is useless and no reply on the query.
Useless and waste of money product.. I found a better one that doesn't put weight on that I can fast with. NZPROTEIN REPLY: sorry that it may not be for everyone. We do our best.
It would be awesome to have a selection of flavours in this range so I could cycle through them, at the moment I feel like by the end of the bag I'm never going to want to see another green banana as long as I live ;-)
Super convenient to keep in the locker at work and is the easiest way to get a super healthy breakfast in if you’re time poor (start work at 7am so no time to muck around with making a blender smoothie after the run).
I mix the NZ protein green super blend product in (just pour it straight into the bag and shake to mix the powders) have actually found it improves the flavour and makes it that much more nutritious and is a super convenient way to supplement my green veggie intake.
As a vegan the ingredients are ideal with the hemp protein and LSA providing essential fatty acids I would usually get by supplementing my shakes with linseed oil in absence of fish in my diet.
If convenience and nutrition trump taste this is definitely the product for you. If you’re looking for low quality but tasty I suggest another brand.
The only thing that really is bad is the chocolate ships.
When drinking from a bottle they can get stuck and is very unpleasant to drink and stop to bit them.
Please jus add Choco powder and remove the chips.
Keep the good work.
5 stars from me.
I like to have this most mornings along with Eggs on toast, I add half a banana and it tastes superb.
Keeps me full for longer and a great kick start to by day.
Highly recommend !!!
Very happy customer
-1 star for cacao nibs—not sure about them and they don’t really add flavour
-1 star because it turns out very watery when mixed with water (surprise, surprise!)—kinda wish it had thickened up after leaving it overnight in the fridge, but it was the same.
-1 star for not having any other flavours to try!
Will try with milk instead or maybe blended with ice and other fruit, but if it doesn’t work out after this packet, probably will look elsewhere.
Tried out this new product for breakfast, it tastes wonderful.
I was never keen on breakfast, but now look forward to my next morning shake !
Also, I only felt like eating something 4 hours after my shake, really fueled me up.
Hope this gets popular and there may be more flavor to choose
