Prandium was an idea between three friends, who wanted to be able to enjoy a healthy, natural meal replacement on the go.
What are we? Well, Prandium is a meal replacement that strives to replace your meals, both mentally and physically. We understand that food is an essential part of our lives, and although we can live off meal replacements, who wants to? Sure, if your stuck on Mars like Matt Damon, then maybe you'd want something to eat, but then again, eating bland sci-fi style meal replacements 24/7 might make you question your sanity, and how on Earth you made your way onto Mars with a crate of meal replacements in the first place.
A meal replacement? A meal replacement is a food substitute aiming to provide 100% of the recommended amounts of each of the vitamins, minerals and macronutrients the body needs to function. Usually, one glass or bottle, around 500 ml bottle replaces one whole meal.
So, what makes us different from all the other meal replacement companies? Sure, we all look the same from the outside, but as they say, it's what's inside that counts. Want a meal? You'd probably want it to be natural and healthy. So why skip that rule of thumb when it comes to meal replacements - keep your mana: don't just drink 100% food, drink #100%natural.
Healthy? Natural? Yep. Healthy? Chocolate? No one has ever seen the words 'chocolate' and 'healthy' used in the same sentence. Nor has anyone in history said that soy milk can be delicious. And surely no one thinks that you can enjoy a tasty, #instaworthy, breakfast on the go, right? Well, with Prandium you can.
Whether you're a barrister or a barista, Prandium fits into your lifestyle, being a premium meal replacement that frankly puts artificial meal replacements to shame. Using Prandium is like charging your Tesla at a Supercharger - it's appealing, both in the sense that it looks [and if you could eat a Supercharger, tastes] amazing, admittedly, but also because Prandium offers our customers peace of mind surrounding the the environmental implications of our product. Why fill your car up with cheap fuel, or in this case, Huel, when you can do infinitely better?
With Prandium, don't just get up and go. Get up and run.
Due to a small production line and manufacturing process, Prandium’s quality is unsurpassed, using only 100% natural ingredients sourced from around the world with as little a carbon footprint, at many times carbon neutral, as possible.
Prandium currently sources its soy and nut-based milks and creams from the Belgian foodstuffs company, Alpro, and the flavouring agents that Prandium uses are also natural, with fresh berries, pods and nuts, along with vegan-friendly natural ingredients, such as fudge, to ensure that the product that Prandium creates is one hundred percent natural and guilt free.
Prandium’s production is similar to the production of raw soy and nut milks – the raw ingredients, nut milks, come internationally, whilst flavouring agents come from local producers. These ingredients are then placed into a nut milk silo, where they are stored at a controlled temperature. These ingredients are then stored in a refrigerated section; after which they are blended at a high speed precisely with the correct amount of required ingredients.
After blending, this raw Prandium is filtered through filters of different filter pore sizes, to eliminate and strain out any possible lumps. This mixture is then pasteurised in a high temperature, high pressure environment to ensure that the drink produced is food safe. After this process, the cleaned and prepared bottles are bought up to a conveyer belt, where they are filled and hermetically sealed. These filled and sealed bottles are then transported to retailers in temperature controlled environments.
Sounds good? Well, it tastes better! Come and try for yourself at one of our upcoming markets across Auckland!
