I can only have one product per order so I need to double up on postage and such. Apart from that I have been happy with these products for years.
I never had the old formula, but I am enjoying the new one. Haven't found it to be chalky. It definitely doesn't taste bad.
I have been using this on and off since it was called Ausilent. I am really enjoying these since my medication give me appetite suppressant and can't eat sometimes. I have this for breakfast and lunch, which leaves me feeling hydrated and full. Tips:
1. If you make it the night before it will be nice and fresh, also won't be as gritty as some people say.
2. Pour your water/liquid first, then add the powered and shaker ball. This prevents the powder getting stuck in the bottom, like others have said.
3. Vanilla is more like a powder milk, so this is good with adding flavors, fruits, etc. It can be a little clumpier that the choc, so ensure you have 550ml water or more and shake well.
4. Choc is more molt choc, really lite and not heavy. This is good, you don't want to be drinking a full choc flavor every day, you will get sick of it fast.
5. Don't guzzle it, just make it and drink over 5min or so. You will enjoy it more and will fill you up better.
6. If you have never had a liquid diet before, you will 100% feel hungry for the first few days/weeks when you do this. Your stomach needs to adjust to the liquid diet and will shrink.
7. Don't eat on-top of having the drink, you will just gain weight...
8. Keep a jug of cold water in the fridge, you can use this to make a fresh cold shake on the go.
9. My enjoyment ratio is 55g of powder to 600 - 650ml ice cold water. It is nice and liquidy (not thick and glumpy like some have said)
10. Enjoy :)
This shake is perfect. Not too sweet and drinkable taste.
I have bought to drop a few kg after pregnancy and breast feeding. I wanted a well rounded shake that wasn’t full of sweetener and other nasties.
This one fits the bill perfectly.
Vanilla is not nice, chocolate is okay. No markings on the shaker, no scoop/measuring cup with the pack. Expected more for the price, especially for a 'starter pack'.
Solid meal replacement shake, love the vanilla. Can't say the same about chocolate, but you can't win them all.
I was looking for a meal shake that was healthy and yummy. I think I found it!
Working from home I find it so much easier to have this than worry about meal prep or left overs. Taste great (I add a little peanut butter) and I find it keeps my full till the afternoon.
It goes down fine and the convenience is fantastic.
Delivery is crazy quick too
I haven't had QOTA since it was Aussielent. The taste has changed ever so slightly. It used to have a mild sweetness to it which it no longer has. However, it still tastes great and fills me up nicely. Would recommend!
They ruined their formula by adding artificial sweeteners. Very disappointed as I’ve been buying for years. Never again. The taste is sickening now.
In April 23 we introduced some new ingredients to improve the mouthfeel of our shakes. In the chocolate, vanilla, and salted caramel flavours, soy protein isolate and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) powder have replaced soy flour. The resulting shake is smoother than ever, while remaining hearty and healthy.
Our products have always been formulated with a light touch on flavour. With our new formulations the flavour profile has been tweaked up just a touch, so they have a slightly stronger flavour.

Great shaker, good size, durable, easy to clean. Definetly a good price for the quality you get.
We considered 1000's of shakers (not literally - but it was a lot) before we determined the Qota shaker was the greatest shaker available for Qota meal replacements. Check out our bundles that come with a free shaker!
I use this as a replacement for breakfast to save me time and effort in the morning. After reading other reviews I mix in some chocolate milkshake flavouring and once adding water and shaking, let it sit for a bit and then shake again which gets rid of any powdery bits. Have been using for about 3 months now and am a big fan!
Although the flavor is chocolate, it tastes more like flour in fact doesn't resemble chocolate at all! When you start supplementing with this to replace most of your meals, you won't even feel full and tempted to eat more. I guess it takes a little getting used to when you switch completely to liquid powdered diet. It's quick and convenient to prepare, energy levels are good and good value for money. Definitely recommend.
While I know this is much more than just a protein supplement, I have been really struggling to find a powder to add to my oats that provides a good amount of protein and also doesn't taste awful.
I've tried both vanilla and chocolate (both with and without the olive oil) and they're both great options to have as a shake or to add to overnight oats, etc. I actively like the flavours, and the added vitamins and minerals are a lovely bonus.
Has the recipe for this product changed? At work I have one bag that I purchased several months ago and at home I have a bag I purchased recently. They taste different and after comparing them I firmly believe that the flavour of the older bag is better, it has more of that spicy moroccan flavour that I love about the product. I had to add my own moroccan seasoning to the new batch as the flavour was so weak.
I've tried a few of the Qota flavours now. They aren't super tasty but that's less important than the fact they give me an easy healthy option when I'm struggling to make myself food.
Most days I have one serve, some days I have two. I'm not doing it for weight loss, though I have lost a little, and I've no complaints about the product or service.
I had looked into a few other brands but a lot had a tonne of added sugar, which would have defeated the purpose of trying to eat healthier.
I can see where the extra sugar would make them more palatable and tasty but I find them okay as they are. And let's face it, if you're looking into stuff like this, your concern is likely healthy eating first.
Purchased the vanilla and chocolate low-carb shakes to start. I'm no stranger to meal replacement shakes, but I have to say, these taste terrible. The closest thing I can compare them to is gritty liquid weetbix. I've had to purchase some sugar free flavourings and powdered peanut butter to add to these to get them down. I had high hopes, but not sure I'd recommend them based on my experience.
I have these meals as an easy lunch at work so I don't have to prep too much before hand. Leaves me full and satisfied! Would love more Vegan friendly flavours but I can always add my own ^^
nice flavour, easy to mix in, take all other flavours on my favourite Banana and Peanut butter, or Vanilla and Blueberry
It's good, but I wish they had a range of flavours that were vegan. The unflavoured powder is good mixed with peanut butter, banana and milk though.
I ordered 2 chocolate. Tasted disgusting. Didn't taste like chocolate at all. More like vanilla, even though the packet states chocolate. I did email, and the customer service was fantastic I must admit.
These meals are perfect, great taste, appearance and texture. Super quick and easy to make and great value.
