I like that this powder comes prefilled in Bottles.
I like the taste, although it is very sweet.
I don’t like the price
I don’t like the nutritional values (Chrome, Sugar, Protein..)
I don’t like the Makros (Sugar is >20%)
Powder clumps!
Serving is very very small. You need 7 Bottles per day!

"Very quick delivery"

I’ve been looking for a soylent drink that I could use to replace snacks. Until Trinkkost I hadn’t found it (other lents are too powdery and not nice enough flavour). Trinkkost had me convinced already with the first shake. Prep is quick and easy, a few spoons of powder, a vigorous shake and… done.

My colleagues are envious when I prepare it and they drink water and eat chocolate. I also take it along when out walking up mountains or just having days out. It’s great for energy and keeps me full for a few hours. I got a bit of clumping at first but a few extra shakes and all sorted.

Not the cheapest, but the ingredients look to be high quality and it’s the best tasting soylent drink I’ve tried. 🙂

"Nice idea of prebottled Powder"

I tried Trinkkost because there was a Black Friday special offer. Despite the discount, it was the most expensive product that I have bought so far. I ordered one bag and three bottles for testing.

Unfortunately, the verdict is scathing. The shipping worked seamlessly. DHL delivered the package to me two days after my order. Everything was well packaged and the goods were even wrapped in some sort of silken tissue paper.

The taste, however, was disgusting. Firstly, the powder clumps inside the prefilled bottle so that one constantly has lumps in the mouth and the bottle cannot be emptied completely. That is not all too tragic in itself, though, as I was able to blend the powder with my blender bottle. The practical part of the bottles, however, is lost.

Secondly, they added some kind of artificial flavoring, which gives the whole thing an abnormally stickily sweet taste. The fact that the powder consists of 20 % sugar to begin with does not improve matters.

A tip for the developers. Get rid of the sweetness, get rid of the flavoring, make it a little milder! Then it will lead to something.

"Delicious flavour, bottles are really convenient."

Really enjoyed this, and was very pleasantly surprised on first taste. I’m used to ‘lents being powder based (of course) but also being either very neutral in taste or totally unflavoured. Basically, you know you’re drinking a ‘lent drink.

Trinkkost is nothing like that. I got a ‘ready to drink’ bottles containing the right amount of powder for a roughly 300 calorie drink. That’s topped up with water and given a few hard shakes and boom, job done. Instead of a bottle of powder suddenly you’re holding a truly delicious fruity flavoured drink.

Consistency is fairly thick, like a yoghurt drink, and may not be liked by all. But it’s easy enough to add extra water to thin things down if needed and being fruit based there’s plenty of flavour. It’s not overly sweet but there’s definitely a good level of sweetness there and I couldn’t help but think it’s the nicest first taste of a ‘lent that I’ve had.

At 300 calories it’s on the lower end of the ‘lent meals I usually have, but it worked perfectly as a snack and it’s definitely a product that’s going into my daily nutrition. I’ve ordered bags this time around though, the bottles are super convenient but more expensive per meal than bags and I anyway, with bags I can easily mix the more calorie dense meals that suit my diet.

Definitely in a class of it’s own, the only downer is that the website isn’t available in English, but google translate handled things well enough for me to get an order in.
