What we have here is a protein porridge to get you off to a good start to the day, 12.5g of protein isn’t very high though. Surprising low carb content as well considering this is a porridge which is usually high in carbohydrates. The sugar is a little bit high at 5.5g but more or less what I expected it to be.

Of course if you make it with milk instead of water this will increase the calories and nutritional value.

Taste
To be honest I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this product however this is one of the best flavoured breakfast supplements I've had. The blueberry taste is spot on. It's a very nicely balanced mix between the oats and blueberry sweetness. The texture is spot on as well.

Side Effects
None

Price
£19.99 for 14 servings. So it’s slightly pricey but much cheaper than buying breakfast out each morning.

Results
I'm not really a morning person and don't really enjoy breakfast so this product was perfect for me. I normally have to force myself to eat but I looked forward to my JBrek. It's so easy to mix and get a good consistency as well, I can’t think of a single time that it came out lumpy. It has the great added bonus of being able to be enjoyed hot or cold, so is a great year round supplement and yes I did try it cold straight from the shaker, not as nice as the hot version but perfectly acceptable. It's perfect for somebody on the go and keeps you full until lunch and that’s really important as it’s most likely going to be used by people on a calorie restricted diet as a breakfast replacement.

The nutritional content is quite where I’d like to be (higher protein and lower sugar) but that’s not the end of the world, you’d just adjust the rest of days macros accordingly. At £1.42 a serving its not cheap but still fairly good value when compared to breakfast from a shop. JBrek has its faults but they don't detract from how good this product really is.  8/10
