PhD Life Complete Meal Solution Powder

PhD Life Complete Meal Solution Powder (Banana)

Category: Meal Replacement / Complete Nutrition
Servings: 14 (60 g per serving)
Key actives: ~26 g plant protein (pea isolate), oats & flax (complex carbs + fibre), 20+ vitamins & minerals, inulin (prebiotic), Bacillus coagulans (probiotic, 5 bn CFU), DigeZyme® enzyme blend, KSM-66® ashwagandha, CocoMineral® (coconut water powder)

⚡ Quick Summary
A well-built vegan meal replacement that covers the basics: solid protein, slow carbs, useful fibre, and a broad vitamin–mineral panel—plus thoughtful extras (probiotic, enzymes, ashwagandha). It mixes easily and lands around ~250 kcal per serving. The flipside: sucralose, gums and flavours keep it from “clean label,” and the micronutrients look closer to partial NRVs per serving rather than a true multi-vitamin replacement.

🧠 Necessity — 12 / 20
Handy when you’re busy, cutting, or need a controlled, balanced meal with predictable macros. Not essential if you already eat steady whole-food meals.
Helpful for: time-pressed days, portion control, travel.
Not essential for: people consistently eating balanced whole-food plates.

⚙️ Effectiveness — 16 / 20
Per serving you’re getting ~25–26 g complete protein (pea + complementary grains), slow-burn carbs from oats, decent fibre (inulin + flax), electrolytes, and ~baseline NRVs of key micros. The 5 bn CFU B. coagulans and enzyme blend may aid tolerance. KSM-66® is a nice stress-support extra, though at a light daily dose. As a practical, filling 1-meal swap: effective.

🌿 Ingredients — 14 / 20
Strengths: pea protein isolate, oats, flax, inulin, real actives (probiotic, enzymes, KSM-66®), and an extensive micronutrient mix.
Dings: sucralose sweetener, gums/thickeners and flavours keep it from minimalist; vitamin/mineral amounts appear modest per serving (more “top-up” than full coverage). Not gluten-free (oats) and made in a site handling common allergens.

🛡️ Safety — 17 / 20
Generally very safe for healthy adults. Probiotic dose is moderate; enzymes are well-tolerated. Watch if you’re sensitive to sweeteners or oats/gluten. As always, those on medication or with GI conditions should check with a clinician.

💷 Value — 16 / 20
~£27 for 14 servings ≈ £1.93/serve. Fair for the formula given the protein quality and functional add-ons. Not the cheapest shake per calorie, but competitive for a “complete meal” with extras.

⚖️ Verdict
