The cocoa protein bar
The cocoa protein bar is really not great! No flavour, its bland and very hard to bite and chew really not a favourite.

Granola
Officially the best Granola by far. And I think the healthiest as well. No refined sugar. Only 5g per serving.

It has been so refreshing engaging with Smul. From seamless ordering to quick delivery. And then the wonderful surprise to receive a stunning free gift with my order. That was just the cherry on top and so unexpected. I am not a lover of protein powders, but have to increase my intake due to health concerns. Well, I am pleasantly surprised by the taste. I ordered the chocolate and the cafe latte flavours. Love both. I have just placed an order for the strawberry one. Thanks Smul. Loving your brand!

Quick and easy!
Ordering and delivery was quick and easy. Really cool that Smul has the smaller packets to first try new protein flavour. I'm enjoying the latte flavour, never thought I would. Thank you!

Hi Rentia, thank you so much for the feedback. We're happy that we met all your expectations! See you back soon.
Honest feedback
The marketing and especially your choice of social media influencers and packaging is what made me decide to place an order. In comparison to the other products in the market you are quite expensive. On the taste side, it doesn't work for me as most of what I ordered is pretty tasteless (this is obviously very subjective). I will probably not order again. For the rest, ordering, processing and getting my order, it was great and effective, thank you.

Hi Naclanche, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Great bars, but protein powder has an after taste
I tried both the strawberry and coffee-flavored protein powders - but after taste is not great.
I bars are however great - not often one can find dairy and gluten free options for protein bars that taste good.

HI Kare, we appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with us. Maybe try to use the protein powders in a smoothie and see if there is any difference. Glad that you enjoyed the bars!!
Perfect Breakfast on Hike
The SMUL protein shakes was the perfect breakfast for our recent 5day hike at De Hoop Nature Reserve. Easy, nutritious and delicious we tried all the different flavours and each found something they loved. The perfect “your bag” meal!

Order delivered to different location than confirmed
I received a confirmation email that my order had been delivered to my chosen pickup location. I went to the location the next day to get it. The store attendant told me that not only did they not have my order, but they also did not receive a confirmation email about it as they normally do. Eventually they called your team who confirmed that my order was delivered to Cape Town — I live in Johannesburg and chose a pickup location here. I’m in the market for a plant-based protein shake and, needless to say, this was a disappointing first experience with Smul. Let’s hope the shake itself is good.
