yfood Ready-to-Drink Meal
The yfood ready-to-drink meal is Germany's most polished meal replacement: a balanced ~500 kcal per 500ml bottle with 26 vitamins and minerals, high protein from milk, and genuinely good taste. It excels at convenience but is processed and pricey: a smart occasional stand-in, not a whole-food replacement.

How the score breaks down
Sqwod Assessment
Value / Deal
Crowd & price figures from public sources, as of 17 Oct 2026. Live aggregation is rolling out, so figures may change.
yfood, founded in Munich in 2017 and majority-owned by Nestlé since 2022, is the clear category leader for complete-meal drinks in Germany. The ready-to-drink meal (sold as “THIS IS FOOD” Classic) delivers roughly 500 kcal in a 500ml bottle (a 330ml version has ~330 kcal), with around 33g protein from milk, a full spread of 26 vitamins and minerals, and fibre. Independent testing rates it 77.5/100: praised for excellent, consistent taste and a thick, clump-free consistency, with satiety lasting around three hours. Amazon.de ratings sit near 4.5/5 across hundreds of reviews per flavor, confirming strong real-world satisfaction.
