1 serving (medium) of Meal powder (50 g) has 200 calories. That works out to 400 calories per 100 g. It contains 20 g of carbs, 10 g of protein, 6.5 g of fat and 3.5 g of fiber. Its 25 µg of Biotin covers 83% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Meal powder is a dry mix designed to be combined with liquid for a quick, portionable meal. Formulas vary by product, but this one is described as providing protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Its fine, flour-like texture can turn into a smooth drink when mixed, though a little clumping may occur if it is not stirred well.
People use meal powder when breakfast needs to be quick, while travelling, or between work and other commitments. Prepare it according to the pack directions, using water or milk, and add fruit if you want a more substantial snack. It offers a convenient source of protein and fibre, but works best as one practical option among varied meals rather than as an automatic substitute for every meal.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
High
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.

Meal powder is mixed with a liquid to make a quick drink, often as a convenient meal when preparing food is difficult. Some products are designed as meal replacements, while others are not nutritionally complete enough to serve that purpose.
Meal powder can replace a meal if it is specifically formulated and labelled as a meal replacement. A protein supplement or other powder may not provide the range of nutrients needed for that use, so check the product’s directions.
Meal powder does not cause weight loss by itself. Replacing a meal with it may help if it reduces your overall food intake, but adding it on top of your usual meals can increase rather than reduce your intake.
Meal powder is intended to provide more than protein, often including carbohydrates, fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Protein powder mainly adds protein and generally should not be treated as a balanced meal replacement.
Either can work if the product directions allow it. Water keeps the preparation simple, while milk changes its flavour and adds nutrients; choose a suitable alternative if you avoid dairy or have a milk allergy.
Put the liquid in your shaker first, add the meal powder gradually, then shake well. A blender also works; if small lumps remain, let the mixture sit briefly and shake it again before drinking.
Yes, you can blend ingredients such as oats, seeds, nuts and powdered milk to make a convenient homemade mix. It may not have the same nutrient balance as a product designed to replace a complete meal.
The recommended frequency depends on the product and your eating pattern; follow its serving directions rather than assuming every powder is suitable for repeated meal replacement. Ask a doctor or dietitian before routinely replacing several meals, especially if you have a medical condition.
Some meal powders can be mixed into warm foods, but boiling liquid may affect texture and cause clumping. Follow the product directions, add the powder gradually, and avoid heating a prepared drink unless the manufacturer says it is suitable.
Drink prepared meal powder promptly when possible, especially if you mixed it with milk or another perishable liquid. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and follow the product’s storage instructions; do not leave a prepared drink sitting out for long.
