Ample Meal – Nutritional Meal Replacement In A Bottle?

Ample Meal Review – Worth It?

Ample Meal is a complete meal drink that recently reached its funding target on Indiegogo. The gluten-free, organic meal drink wants to give your body complete nourishment. Here’s our review.

What is Ample Meal?

Ample Meal is a non-GMO, gluten-free organic meal drink designed to deliver optimal nourishment in a convenient, easy-to-drink package.

The product was launched on Indiegogo at the start of May 2016 and quickly reached its funding target. In fact, Ample Meal blew past its $50,000 funding target in just 30 hours.

We’ve reviewed plenty of other complete meal drinks before – including Soylent. One thing that makes Ample Meal different is its inclusion of probiotics and prebiotics and its use of mostly plant-based ingredients.

It also has 70% less sugar, 45% fewer carbs, and 70% more protein than “market competitors who do use GMOs and gluten”, according to a press release from the company.

The formula comes in the form of powder in a bottle. You just add water or milk, then shake and drink. It’s priced at $4.50 for the 400 calorie option and $6.00 for the 600 calorie option.

What else makes Ample Meal a popular meal in a bottle? Let’s take a look at some of its other features.

What Makes Ample Meal Different?

The makers of Ample Meal continuously emphasize their use of “superior, natural ingredients”. They use real ingredients from real foods instead of taking synthetic formulas and GMO ingredients.

The ingredients are also free of soy, gluten, added sugar, and artificial flavors.

When Ample Meal calls itself a complete meal in a bottle, it takes that title seriously. That complete meal promises to minimize inflammation and oxidative stress, maintain proper hormone balance, and maximize gut microbiome balance by giving your body everything it needs.

There are 400 calorie and 600 calorie version of Ample Meal. Here’s how the ingredients break down for each:

• Fat (400cal/600cal): 22g/33g
• Carbs: 26g/39g
• Fiber: 7g/10g
• Sugar: 2g/3g
• Protein: 27g/40g

Most importantly, Ample Meal promises to taste great even though it’s not loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Benefits of Ample Meal

Ample Meal promises to be a meal in a bottle. But it also advertises specific health benefits, including all of the following:

Maintain Proper Hormone Response:

Hormonal issues like insulin and leptin resistance can lead to obesity. Ample Meal promises to help maintain healthy hormone levels using its low levels of sugar and carbohydrates. The starch and fiber in the shake also helps to slow absorption and feed healthy gut microbiome.

Control Inflammation:

When your body’s immune system recognizes an attacker, it uses inflammation to get rid of that attacker. But chronic inflammation from food isn’t a good thing: it’s connected to an increased risk of diseases like obesity, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. With that in mind, Ample Meal is low in omega-6, sugar, and carbs. There are also minimal processed ingredients to ensure your body doesn’t have to work extra hard.

Minimize Oxidation:

Oxidation through free radicals can cause inflammation and lead to “brain fog, accelerated aging, weight gain and other sadface-inducing things”, according to the makers of Ample Meal. That’s why Ample Meal contains omega-3 fats and antioxidants. These ingredients scavenge free radicals throughout your body, fighting back against oxidation and reducing your risk of disease.

Support Microbiome Health:

Ample Meal is one of the few meal-in-a-bottle beverages that contains probiotics and prebiotics, both of which play a crucial role in your digestive system health.

Ample Meal Ingredients

Ample Meal contains a blend of dozens of natural ingredients separated into different blends. Here’s how the ingredients break down:

-Protein Blend: Pumpkin, grass-fed whey concentrate, pea, grass-fed collagen

-Lipid Blend: Coconut oil, chia seed, sunflower lecithin, algae oil, macadamia nut oil

-Carb, Prebiotic, and Fiber Blend: Tapioca, green banana, sweet potato, psyllium husk, acacia fiber, chicory root inulin

-Probiotic Blend: Lactobacillus acidophilus, plantarum, rhamnosus, paracasei, casei, salvarius; Bifidobacterium lactis, longum, and breve; and streptococcus thermophilus

Some things to note about the ingredients is that Ample Meal is not paleo, vegan, or vegetarian-friendly because it contains grass-fed collagen and whey. Aside from those ingredients, however, it’s just fruits and vegetables.

Who Makes Ample Meal?

Ample Meal was created by a guy named Connor Young. When Connor first moved to San Francisco, he was living in a hacker house with 50 people. Everyone was busy doing impactful things, but nobody really had time to take care of their nutrition.

Connor has a background and biology and nutrition. He’s studied it for most of the last 8 years. He wanted to come up with a nutritious, convenient solution. He started blogging about nutrition while giving cooking classes and nutrition lectures.

Eventually, the idea of Ample Meal was born. He started by calling it HMR, or Healthy Meal Replacement. It was basically a combination of amino acids and vials of oil and it “does not taste good”.

By September – December 2015, however, Ample Meal was getting orders throughout the Bay Area. In January 2016, Ample joined Batch 16 of the 500 Startups Accelerator program. And finally in May 2016, Ample Meal launched on Indiegogo, hitting its funding target in just 30 hours.

The company estimates its shipping date as September 2016. Ample Foods, Inc. is based at the following San Francisco address:

814 Mission St 6th Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103
