Protein shakes are usually designed to disappear in a few quick sips. Meal It takes the opposite approach: familiar café and dessert-inspired flavors, plus crunchy toppings that make every serving feel more like something you eat—not just something you drink.
That playful texture is only part of the story. Kim’s Basket currently carries five 560g Meal It flavors, and each one has a different balance of protein, sugar, dietary fiber, calories, and toppings. Here is what actually separates Banana, Coffee, Chocolate, Pistachio, and Melon—and how to prepare every tub correctly.
Why texture changes the whole shake experience
A smooth shake can be convenient, but it may not feel much like a meal. Meal It adds flavor-specific crunch—such as oat balls, cookie pieces, soboro-style crumbs, almonds, or pistachio—to create more contrast in each sip. The result sits somewhere between a creamy drink and a light breakfast bowl.
The five flavors share the same practical format: one 560g tub provides 14 measured 40g servings. What changes is the taste, topping mix, nutrition panel, and, in Coffee’s case, caffeine.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banana | 163 kcal | 14g | 4g | 3g | None listed |
| Coffee | 165 kcal | 16g | 1.9g | 3g | 83mg |

No single flavor wins every category. Coffee and Chocolate provide the most protein at 16g; Pistachio and Melon provide the most dietary fiber at 7g; Melon has the lowest listed calorie count; and Coffee has the lowest sugar but is the only flavor with caffeine.
The three-step preparation that works for every flavor
- Measure one serving: Use 3 included scoops, equal to approximately 40g of powder.
- Add 160–230ml liquid: Water is the standard preparation; milk or soy milk can be used for a softer, richer result.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir or shake until the powder is evenly combined, then swirl again as needed to keep the toppings distributed.
The liquid range lets you control the texture: use less for a thicker shake and more for a lighter drink. Remember that choosing milk or soy milk changes the final calories, protein, sugar, and allergen profile.
Protein shakes are useful tools—not complete nutrition plans
Meal It’s product guidance describes one 40g serving for daily use and does not recommend relying on three shakes a day. Whole meals still provide food variety and nutrients a powdered shake may not cover.
The formulas contain common allergens, including milk, soybean, and wheat; Banana and Coffee also list egg, while Pistachio contains nut toppings. Always review the current physical label if you have allergies, follow a restricted diet, are pregnant or nursing, take medication, or manage a medical condition.
