01 Basics
What is a drinkable meal?
A drinkable meal is a complete meal in liquid form. It gives you what a balanced lunch gives you: protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and all the vitamins and minerals in sensible proportions. Other names for the same idea are meal to drink, meal drink, liquid food or, colloquially, astronaut food.
The Saturo drinkable meal is ready to drink: no mixing, no shaker, no fridge needed. The bottle is the meal. It's made for healthy people who want to eat quickly and properly, and it replaces a meal when you're short on time, not your whole way of eating. If you'd rather mix it yourself, check out the drinkable meal as a powder.
What sets a drinkable meal apart from a protein shake, diet shake and medical nutritional drink is covered in the next section.
02 Putting it in context
Drinkable meal, protein shake, diet shake, nutritional drink: what's the difference?
Four products that look similar on the shelf but do four different jobs. What matters is whether a serving replaces a whole meal.
1
Drinkable meal
A complete meal: at least 400 kcal, all macronutrients, fibre and all 26 vitamins and minerals. Replaces breakfast, lunch or dinner.
2
Protein shake
Mainly provides protein, usually 20 to 30 g, with little fat, hardly any fibre and no complete micronutrients. A supplement after exercise, not a meal.
3
Diet shake
Deliberately low in calories, often around 200 kcal per serving, designed as a meal replacement for a weight-control diet. At Saturo, that's the Shape Shake.
4
Medical nutritional drinks
A nutritionally balanced diet from the pharmacy for people with medical conditions or malnutrition, under medical supervision and sometimes reimbursed by health insurance. Not an everyday product.
03 Health
Are drinkable meals healthy?
Yes, if two conditions are met: the drinkable meal is nutritionally complete, and it doesn't permanently replace every meal.
Complete means: all three macronutrients, fibre and the vitamins and minerals your body needs every day. The benchmark is the reference values of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). At 400 kcal, one bottle of Saturo provides a fifth of your daily energy needs and a fitting share of your vitamins and minerals. Just as important is what's not in it: lots of sugar. Some drinkable meals contain several grams of sugar per serving. Saturo has no added sugar and contains around 1 g per bottle.
What about digestion?
If you haven't eaten much fibre so far, you might notice the change in the first few days: 7 g of fibre per bottle is more than many meals provide. Reports like those from NDR or IKK classic come to the same conclusion as we do: drinkable meals are a practical addition, not a replacement for good food.
Good to know
Drink slowly, have a glass of water with it and start with one bottle a day. Your gut will get used to it within a few days. If you're sensitive to sweeteners, go for the Natural flavour: it has no sweeteners and no flavouring.
04 Check
How do you spot a good drinkable meal?
Whether a drinkable meal is any good is on the label, not in the advertising. Six criteria you can check:
- A real meal: at least 400 kcal per serving. Anything less is a snack.
- Enough protein: at least 25 g per serving. Protein helps maintain muscle mass and keeps you full.
- Low sugar: under 2 g per serving and no added sugar.
- Fibre: at least 5 g per serving, for fullness and digestion.
- All 26 vitamins and minerals, not just a selection.
- Ingredients you know: oats, pea, faba bean, rapeseed oil instead of long lists of additives.
Here's how the Saturo drinkable meal compares on these criteria with typical ready-to-drink, milk-based drinkable meals:
At a glance

| Sugar | approx. 1 g, no added sugar | 5 to 12 g |
| Fibre | 7.3 g | 4 to 8 g |

05 Use
Drinkable meals in everyday life: losing weight, gaining weight, sport, on the go
Losing weight
When you're losing weight, a drinkable meal helps in one way: you know exactly how many calories it has. If you swap lunch for a 400 kcal bottle, you know what you've eaten and still get complete nutrition. For a reduced-calorie meal, there's the Shape Shake with 203 kcal per serving in our weight loss shakes.
Gaining weight
If you want to gain weight, you need more calories than you burn, and the amount on the plate is often where it goes wrong. A drinkable meal as an extra meal, for example in the afternoon, gives you 400 kcal without leaving you full from chewing. For building up, there's the Weight Gain Starter Box. Find out more in our guide to high-calorie nutrition drinks.
When a drinkable meal fits and when it doesn't
Fits well
- +Lunch at the office: a proper meal instead of a snack, no kitchen and no waiting for the delivery driver
- +After sport: 36 g protein when you're not hungry yet
- +On the go: on the train, in the car, while travelling, shelf-stable without refrigeration
- +When gaining weight: as a fourth meal that doesn't make you sleepy
Doesn't fit
- −As your only food for weeks: food matters too much for that, and you'd need medical supervision
- −As a diet promise: a drinkable meal has 400 kcal; you lose weight through your calorie balance
- −Instead of seeing a doctor when you're ill: medical nutrition drinks exist for that
- −For children as a meal replacement: designed for adults
Sport
After training, protein is what counts: 36 g per bottle, and protein helps maintain and build muscle mass. Before sport, a drinkable meal sits more lightly in your stomach than solid food, but it still makes sense to leave 60 to 90 minutes. What works beforehand is explained in our guide Eating before sport.
On the go and meal prep
The bottle's biggest advantage: it needs no fridge and no preparation. In the car, on the train or in an office without a kitchen, it's the meal that's always with you. If you plan your week ahead, combine it with pre-cooked dishes. You'll find tips in our Meal Prep guide.
06 Honest
Make your own drinkable meal?
You can blend a shake from oats, nut butter, banana and plant-based drink in two minutes, and it makes a good snack. But it isn't a complete drinkable meal: 26 vitamins and minerals in the right amounts, plus 30 g protein and little sugar, are hard to get reliably from kitchen ingredients. For the occasional replacement, homemade is fine. As a system for every day, you need a product with a complete nutrient profile, and that's exactly why a drinkable meal is worth paying for.

Common questions about drinkable meals
Are drinkable meals really healthy?
That depends on the product. A drinkable meal with a complete micronutrient profile, high protein content and no added sugar is a sensible addition to a balanced diet. Check the ingredients list. Saturo provides 26 vitamins and minerals and 36 g protein, and contains no added sugar.
How often a day can I have a drinkable meal?
One bottle of Saturo provides 400 kcal. With an average daily requirement of 2,000 kcal, that works out at five bottles. Most users replace one or two meals, such as lunch at the office or a skipped breakfast.
Can a drinkable meal replace a normal meal?
Yes. A bottle of Saturo is designed as a complete meal replacement: 36 g protein, 7.3 g fibre, 18 g fat and 26 vitamins and minerals. That covers what a balanced lunch should deliver.
Is a drinkable meal good for losing weight?
A drinkable meal with a defined 400 kcal can help you keep up your nutrient intake while in a calorie deficit. Saturo also offers the Shape Shake for this, developed specifically for weight management. If you're planning a diet, talk to your doctor first. Find out more in our weight loss guide.
Are there drinkable meals without sugar?
Saturo contains no added sugar; the naturally occurring amount is 1.0 to 1.3 g per bottle. For comparison: many other drinkable meals contain a higher proportion of sugar.
How much does a Saturo drinkable meal cost?
A bottle (400 ml) costs €4.39 in a 6-pack, which works out at €1.10 per 100 ml. The bottle is cheapest in the To Go Protein Starterbox: 18 bottles in your choice of flavours for €71.90, or €3.99 per bottle. With a subscription, you save an extra 10% on every 6-pack order.
Does Saturo have a drinkable meal taster pack?
Yes. The Taster Pack contains six bottles in three flavours: two each of Cocoa, Cappuccino and Natural. That way you find your favourite. If you already know your flavours, the Starterbox with 18 bottles is the cheaper way to start.
Which drinkable meal is the healthiest?
The one that's complete: at least 400 kcal, at least 25 g protein, under 2 g sugar, fibre and all 26 vitamins and minerals. Compare the nutrition tables, not the advertising. If you can't tolerate milk or eat plant-based, also check what the drink is made from.
Can I have only drinkable meals for a week?
On paper, yes: five bottles of Saturo equal 2,000 kcal and cover your vitamin and mineral needs. We don't recommend it, though, because chewing, variety and solid food are part of a healthy diet. If you have to eat only liquid food for longer, for example after surgery, talk to your doctor about it.
Can drinkable meals cause digestive problems?
Some people notice bloating or a feeling of fullness in the first few days. The cause is usually the fibre (around 7 g per bottle), which your gut needs time to get used to, or drinking too quickly. Drink slowly, have water with it and start with one bottle a day. Some people are sensitive to sweeteners; the Natural flavour contains none.
How long does a drinkable meal last?
Unopened, the Saturo drinkable meal keeps for up to 12 months from production, without refrigeration. Once opened, the bottle belongs in the fridge and should be drunk within 24 hours.
Which drink replaces a meal?
Only a drink that delivers everything a meal delivers: at least 400 kcal, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and all 26 vitamins and minerals. Protein shakes, smoothies or juices are snacks, not meals. The Saturo drinkable meal meets these criteria in every bottle.
When do nutrition drinks make sense?
Medical nutrition drinks make sense when someone can't eat enough because of illness, for example with malnutrition, swallowing disorders or after major surgery. They are used under medical supervision and, in these cases, covered by health insurance. For healthy adults who lack time or appetite in everyday life, a drinkable meal is the right choice. Find out more in our guide to high-calorie nutrition drinks.
Which drinkable meal has the most calories?
Ready-to-drink drinkable meals usually contain 400 to 500 kcal per bottle, and the Saturo drinkable meal has 400 kcal in 400 ml. High-calorie medical nutrition drinks are much denser at 1.5 to 2 kcal per millilitre, but they are meant for people who are ill. If you want to gain weight in a healthy way, have a drinkable meal as an extra meal, for example with the Weight Gain Starterbox.
How do drinkable meals do in Stiftung Warentest tests?
In November 2025, Stiftung Warentest tested six ready-to-drink drinkable meals. The verdict: as an occasional meal replacement they're fine and better than fast food, but not as a permanent solution for every meal. The main criticism was high sugar content, with up to 30 g per 500 ml bottle. That's exactly what's worth checking when you compare: the Saturo drinkable meal contains around 1 g of sugar per bottle, with no added sugar.
