The Short Answer
Jimmy Joy (formerly Joylent) ships to Australia — but the maths and the delivery time can be a problem for Australians.
Quick compare below:
- Price per meal (delivered): QOTA High Protein $4.86 | Jimmy Joy Plenny Pro ~$7.18
- Protein per serve: QOTA 40.6g | Plenny Pro 40g
- Ships from: Melbourne, same-day dispatch | The Netherlands, international transit
Both are legitimate, nutritionally serious products. The difference is you'll pay roughly 48% more per meal to ship one of them across the planet.
Wait — Jimmy Joy is Joylent?
Yes. Joylent launched in the Netherlands in 2014 and used to ship to Australia; it renamed to Jimmy Joy in 2018. If you were a Joylent customer back in the day, Plenny Shake is the same product line, evolved.
QOTA (then Aussielent) launched in Melbourne in 2015 and has been making complete meals locally ever since — so if you remember ordering Joylent, both brands have been at this for a decade.
Price: The Deciding Factor
A 20-serve pouch of Plenny Shake Pro Chocolate costs €86.50 (~AUD$143) delivered to Melbourne, or ~$7.18 per meal, arriving via international post from Europe.
QOTA High Protein Chocolate is $68 for a 14-meal pouch — $4.86 per meal, or $4.37 on subscription, with free shipping Australia wide and same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 10am.
Protein: Effectively a Tie
This is the comparison that matters for a high-protein meal, and it's close:
- Plenny Pro: 40g protein per 99g serve (400 calories)
- QOTA High Protein: 40.6g protein per 125g serve (501 calories)
Same protein hit, but QOTA's serve is a bigger, more complete meal — 501 calories versus 400. If you're replacing lunch and want to stay full until dinner, that difference matters.
