No, Queal is intentionally less sweet than typical protein shakes because it's designed as a complete meal rather than a supplement.
Why the difference matters: Protein shakes are often consumed as a quick post-workout drink or supplement, so manufacturers tend to make them very sweet and intensely flavoured to mask the protein taste. Queal, on the other hand, is formulated to be a satisfying full meal that you can enjoy regularly without flavour fatigue. When you're consuming 700+ calories of actual food, an overly sweet taste would quickly become overwhelming and unpleasant.
Balanced for everyday eating: We use moderate amounts of natural flavouring and just enough sweetener to create a pleasant taste that doesn't become cloying or tiresome. This balanced approach means you can comfortably have Queal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner without the sugar-rush feeling or artificial sweetness overload common with protein shakes. Think of it more like the subtle sweetness of oatmeal or cereal rather than a dessert-like shake.
Versatility in taste: The milder sweetness also makes Queal more versatile. You can easily customise it to your preference - add a bit of honey, blend in some fruit, or mix in cocoa if you want it sweeter on occasion. With an overly sweet base, you'd be stuck with that intense flavour every time. Our approach gives you a neutral-enough canvas to enjoy Queal multiple times a day without getting tired of it, while still having enough flavour to be enjoyable on its own.
