Meal Replacement Powder
Mix your own shake. Each Saturo powder contains everything you need. Choose the portion size yourself and customise your shake to your individual needs.
Who is meal replacement powder for?
Meal replacement powder is for anyone who wants a complete meal — but with more flexibility in how you make it and at a lower price than a ready-to-drink bottle. You mix the powder with water (or a plant-based milk) and within 30 seconds you've got a meal with a full nutritional profile.
Compared to the ready-to-drink Saturo meal, you save per serving. The nutritional profile stays the same — plant-based protein, all 26 vitamins and minerals, fibre. The only difference: you need a shaker and 30 seconds of your time.
Meal replacement powder makes the most sense if you're regularly replacing several meals a week. If you only need a quick meal every now and then — on the go, at the office, no shaker to hand — you're better off with the ready-to-drink bottle.
Balanced Powder or Classic Powder?
Saturo offers two powder options, each with a different focus. Both deliver a complete nutritional profile and are 100% vegan.

Balanced Powder — the smarter nutritional profile
The Balanced Powder combines pea protein with brown rice protein. On their own, plant-based protein sources often have an incomplete amino acid profile — together, pea and rice complement each other to achieve a high biological value with all essential amino acids. 30 g of protein per serving that your muscles can actually use. Because protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
9.9 g of fibre — including acacia fibre and oats with beta-glucan — keeps you feeling full for longer. The added probiotic Bacillus Coagulans supports your gut microbiome. And the medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) from coconut provide fast-release energy that doesn't end up stored as fat. No added sugar.
If a meal replacement with no sugar matters to you, the Balanced Powder is the one to go for.
Classic Powder — the budget option
£1.87 per complete 400 kcal meal. It's hard to get proper nutrition any cheaper than that. The soya protein delivers 21 g of protein with a complete amino acid profile, gluten-free and lactose-free. Two flavours: Cocoa and Vanilla.
An honest note on the ingredients: the Classic Powder contains isomaltulose — a disaccharide with a lower glycaemic index than table sugar, but still 19.6 g of sugar per serving. Plus maltodextrin and glucose syrup. If you prefer low sugar, go with the Balanced Powder. If you're after the lowest price with a full micronutrient profile, the Classic is your pick.
How to make your meal replacement powder
No cooking skills needed. No blender. A shaker is all it takes.
- Add the powder to your shaker
- Pour in water (or a plant-based milk)
- Give it a good shake for 30 seconds
- Drink up
If you like a creamier consistency, pop the finished shake in the fridge for five minutes — the fibre swells slightly and the texture thickens up. Chuck in some ice cubes in summer and it's a proper alternative to a canteen lunch.
Frequently asked questions about meal replacement powders
How much does the Saturo diet shake cost?
Protein powder primarily delivers protein — vitamins, minerals, fibre and healthy fats are usually missing entirely. Saturo's meal replacement powder contains a complete macro and micronutrient profile with 26 vitamins and minerals. The difference: protein powder adds protein to a meal — meal replacement powder delivers the entire meal in a single shake.
Can you use meal replacement powder for weight loss?
A ready-to-drink meal with a defined calorie count can help you stick to a calorie deficit without compromising your nutritional intake. If you're looking to lose weight, it's also worth considering the Saturo Shape Shake — developed specifically for weight management. More on this in our weight loss guide.
What does drinking meal powder taste like?
That depends on the flavour and how you mix it. Made with water, the taste is lighter; with a plant-based milk, it's creamier.
Is Saturo meal replacement powder vegan?
Yes. Both powders are 100% vegan and lactose-free. The Balanced Powder uses pea and rice protein, the Classic Powder uses soya protein. If you also need to eat gluten-free, go with the Classic — the Balanced contains oats.
Can I mix meal replacement powder with milk?
Technically yes — but then the meal is no longer vegan and the calorie count changes. The stated nutritional values are based on preparation with water. If you prefer it creamier, use oat or soya milk.
