Meritene Energis Chicken Meal Replacement | 50g Powder Sachets

My husband loves these soups and has been having them for some time now as he has cancer of the oesophagus and he has ten every day he used to also have the vegetable soup as well but not seen them lately and it seems a shame as there is definitely a market out there for people like my husband who will go tend to his garden then look forward to having one of these soups that’s seemingly the only place that makes the lovely taste and the texture that no other company can offer for his condition and I even tried to contact Jamie Oliver and had a reply from his foundation who said he gets busy but that’s some months ago now anyway it’s a shame really as all I can think is it must be to much like hard work to make something to suit people who may not be around as long as some people who can eat anything but my husband is not the only person out there with this horrible condition there are many other people that all are going through this cruel process every day of trying to eat to live as normally as possible, so I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving my husband a little period every single day when he can feel human again in front of his wife and the smile on his face is enough and no words need to be spoken. Please never stop making the soups and he also can manage the strawberry milkshake ! God bless you

Very nice and gives a big boost when you can’t eat anything

My mom had a rough patch recently and didn’t want to eat. These tempted her so much she bought 2 more boxes. She did say to make them up as per the instructions because a tad too much water renders them not so pleasant. There seems to be loads of slimming products in this vein available to buy but few nutritionally dense products like these.

This is a good pick-me-up when eating has been a proble after/during illness. The nutrients are good and help recovery, it can also be used a base for other recipes instead of gravy cubes.

Just had my first one and it seems pretty good. I put some croutons in with it. I have been having appetite problems - can't really be bothered with food - and I turned to this in desperation. I've gone from a fit 13.5 stones to an unfit 10.5 stones. Seems OK and quite tasty. The actual health benefits have yet to be realised (after 1 meal!) but I'm intending to continue with it and remain hopeful.

I didn’t like this soup at all. It had an overpowering smell and taste. The vegetable soup is much tastier. It seems to have disappeared in the past few months. Has it been discontinued with no notification ? I think we should be told. Does anyone know ? Paula

I usually like to keep this in the cupboard for a lunch time snack , it’s fairly tasty , easy to prepare and good to know it has a good mix of vitamins and minerals however I ordered the vegetable by mistake , it’s too much hassle to send back but I know from past experience it isn’t that nice and unfortunately they add inulin so I cannot have often

This is given by NHS to bariatric patients. Excellent source of protein in the first weeks post op
