What is a ready-to-drink meal?
A ready-to-drink meal is a liquid food that combines all the macro and micronutrients of a complete meal in a single bottle — protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals in defined amounts. Unlike a protein shake or smoothie, it covers a broad micronutrient profile and provides enough calories to genuinely replace a meal.
The term calls to mind astronaut food — and the origins do indeed lie there. Today, though, ready-to-drink meals are aimed at healthy people looking for a convenient meal for everyday life. The medical version (enteral nutrition, prescribed by a doctor for conditions such as malnutrition or difficulty swallowing) is a different product with different requirements. Our article on liquid nutrition takes a deeper look at that category.
Frequently asked questions about ready-to-drink meals
Are ready-to-drink meals actually healthy?
That depends on the product. A ready-to-drink meal with a complete micronutrient profile, high protein content and no added sugar is a worthwhile addition to a balanced diet. Check the ingredients list. Saturo provides 26 vitamins and minerals, 36 g of protein and is sugar-free.
How often should I have a weight loss shake per day?
One bottle of Saturo provides 400 kcal. Based on an average daily intake of 2,000 kcal, that's five bottles on paper. Most people replace one to two meals — like lunch at work or a skipped breakfast.

Yes. One bottle of Saturo is designed as a complete meal replacement: 36 g of protein, 7.7 g of fibre, 18 g of healthy fats and 26 vitamins and minerals. That covers what a balanced lunch should provide.
Can you use a ready-to-drink meal for weight loss?
A ready-to-drink meal with a defined 400 kcal can help maintain your nutritional intake while in a calorie deficit. Saturo also offers the Shape Shake, developed specifically for weight management. If you're planning a diet, speak to your GP first. More on this in our weight loss guide.
