Meal replacements are for the days when you need real nutrition, not just a quick protein hit. They’re designed to sit closer to a balanced meal, giving you protein plus a more complete macro profile alongside a broad vitamin and mineral blend. If your routine is hectic, appetite is low, or you’re bored of throwing together the same rushed lunches, this is the simple fix.
Per4m Meal Replacement Shakes are nutritionally complete, high protein, low sugar, and high in fibre, with 25 vitamins and minerals built in. They’re easy to use, easy to repeat, and available in dessert-level flavours that make consistency feel effortless.
Who meal replacement shakes are for
- Busy schedules: When cooking a full meal isn’t happening, but you still want something structured.
- Anyone trying to stay consistent: A reliable option for breakfast, lunch, or a planned snack instead of random grazing.
- Training lifestyles: Useful after the gym when you want more than just protein powder and water.
- People who want simpler portion control: A measured serving makes it easier to keep your day on track.
Meal replacement vs protein powder
Protein powders are ideal when you only need protein. They’re lighter and easier to fit into a lean day, especially options like Whey Protein or Isolate Zero.
Meal replacements are for when you need something more meal-like. You get a fuller shake designed to cover more bases, including added fibre and a wider micronutrient blend. Think of it as your quick meal, not your quick scoop.
When to use meal replacement shakes
Breakfast: When mornings are rushed and you normally under-eat or grab something low in protein.
Lunch at your desk: When you want a consistent option that doesn’t leave you hunting snacks an hour later.
Post-workout: When you want a more complete feed without cooking.
Evening reset: When the day went off plan and you want something simple that still feels like a meal.
Meal replacement benefits
More complete nutrition in one serving
A good meal replacement helps you cover more than protein alone. Per4m’s formula is built around a high-protein base with fibre and a broad vitamin and mineral blend, which is why it’s positioned as nutritionally complete.
Built for satiety and routine
High protein and added fibre are a strong combo when you want a shake that feels filling. It’s a practical way to reduce the “I’ll just grab something later” spiral that turns into missed meals and random snacking.
Low sugar, easy to fit
Low sugar makes it easier to use daily, whether you’re managing calories, keeping meals cleaner, or avoiding the crash that comes with sugar-heavy convenience foods.
Flavours you’ll actually stick with
Consistency is the whole point. Dessert-style flavours make it feel like a treat without turning into a cheat meal.
How to use
- Add 2 scoops (60g) to 300ml of cold water or milk.
- Shake hard for 30 seconds.
- Use 1 to 2 servings daily as needed, while still prioritising balanced, whole meals across the day.
Quick tip: Water keeps it lighter. Milk makes it thicker and more calorie dense. Pick based on what your day needs.

FAQs
What is a meal replacement shake?
A meal replacement shake is a powdered formula designed to be used in place of a meal. Compared to standard protein powder, it’s built to be more meal-like, usually including a wider balance of macros plus added vitamins and minerals.
Can I replace all my meals with shakes?
For most people, no. Meal replacements are best used to support your routine, not replace real food long term. Use them when you need convenience and keep whole meals as the foundation of your diet.
How many meal replacement shakes should I take per day?
Most people use 1 serving per day on busy days. Some use up to 2 when life is hectic. It depends on your schedule, appetite, and goals.
Are meal replacement shakes good for weight loss?
They can help if they make it easier to control portions and stay consistent. Weight loss still comes down to total daily intake across time, but structured meals are often easier to stick to than guesswork.
Do meal replacements replace protein powder?
Not really. If you only need protein, a scoop of Whey Protein or Isolate Zero is usually the better fit. If you need something closer to a meal, that’s where meal replacements make more sense.
What should I mix meal replacement with?
Water keeps it lighter and more straightforward. Milk makes it creamier, thicker, and more calorie dense. Choose what fits your day and your goal.
Any allergen notes?
These meal replacements contain milk and may contain traces of other allergens depending on manufacturing. Always check the product label if you have allergies.
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and the maintenance of normal bones. Food supplements should be used alongside a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
