General

Jimmy Joy pioneers in creating nutritionally complete and sustainable food.

Our healthy, fast, and tasty meals deliver your daily nutritional needs in under a minute, give you energy and save you Plenny of time.

Surprise, surprise, Jimmy Joy is made of actual food. It contains everything your body needs to stay healthy, and more importantly, maintain its high level of magnificence. Our plant-based ingredients consist of a fine blend of oats, soy flour, rice flour, milled golden flaxseed, rapeseed oil and a mix of 26 essential vitamins and minerals. Plenny Shake mango, strawberry and banana also contain real freeze-dried fruit.

Each meal provides a great amount of protein with a complete amino acid profile, an adequate amount of good fats with plenty of omega 3 and 6, slow-releasing complex carbs for energy, low sugar and plenty of fibre to help your digestive system. We know, it’s a  (literal) mouthful.

Hell yeah! Choose the Starter Box to try all the Jimmy Joy products and to kick-start this incredible journey of healthy food without the hassle. 

Our Plenny Shakes are made in our picture-perfect hometown of Amsterdam. Ja zeker, the city of stroopwafels and narrow houses with strange roofs.

Our other products are manufactured in our equally lovely European neighbouring countries.

Sorry, that’s confidential.

Nutrition

For virgins, gentle and slow is the way to go. As with any dietary change, our body may need some time to adjust to ''new'' kinds of food. Therefore we recommend to start with replacing one meal a day for the first few days so you can see how your body reacts.

Well that’s the thing: our meals need minimal prepping.

For a 400kcal meal of Plenny Shake, just add two scoops and some water. You can make your shake as dense or watery as you prefer.

Our Twenny Bars and Plenny Drink are even easier: you just need to remove the wrapper or turn the lid.

Wow, calm down. The recommended serving size of Plenny Shake is 400 Kcal a meal. Our other meals also contain around 400 Kcal.

No, that would definitely defeat the purpose of eating. Although the duration of satiation can differ per person (depending on build and lifestyle), our experience shows that with our 400 kcal meals you’ll feel full for about 3 to 5 hours.

It is theoretically possible to eat exclusively Jimmy Joy, and we’re happy to report we have customers who have done so or are still doing this  They’re still alive  (phew!), and have - after a long period of 100% Jimmy Joy consumption - had their blood tested which came back with very positive results. Most of our customers use our products for breakfast or lunch though, as these meals are usually not that much of a social affair and more or less something you have to get over with. We too enjoy cooking and eating with friends and family, and we wouldn’t dream of taking this away from you (or ourselves for that matter). We encourage our customers to individually find out what works for them.

Although our products are not designed to lose weight with, they can definitely help. With Jimmy Joy meals you’ll always know exactly how many calories you’re consuming, making it super easy to make sure you’re getting the exact amount you need to achieve your body goals!

Gluten

Our products don't have any gluten in them, however our oats are processed in an environment where gluten-products are processed as well, so unfortunately we cannot definitely rule out cross-contamination. The oats make up about 30% of the product.

Soy

Our products contain significant amounts of soy. If you’re allergic, steer clear!  

Lactose

Our Plenny Shake and Plenny Drink are lactose-free. Our Plenny Bars contain no lactose of their own, but there could be traces of lactose in them. If you are highly allergic, please do not try them. Want to learn more about lactose? Click here.

While none of the ingredients we use are harmful or dangerous to pregnant women, our products are based on the nutritional needs of an average adult. If you’re pregnant (or nursing) you will have different dietary/nutritional needs than the average adult, so we do not recommend you using our products when pregnant or nursing. Please consult with your doctor before doing so.

Our products are based on the nutritional needs of the average adult. Since children have different nutritional needs, we don’t recommend our products for children.

Actually, soy is pretty amazing. Read our blog about it here.

Practical

Unfortunately we currently don't have any retail points. 

All of our products have a shelf life of 12 months after production, no more wasting food!

Our Plenny Drinks come in recyclable Tetra Pak® packaging, which consists of 37% recycled carton and a plastic lid/cap.

Our Plenny Bar wrappers are not fully recyclable because of the aluminium lining they contain.
