Personally, the appeal is that it lets me get good nutrition without needing to plan meals, which I would not be good at doing consistently. If not for meal shakes I’d probably just pick things random-ishly (for example I used to take something out of the fridge (like a loaf of bread, or a jar of peanut butter) and then end up passively eating too much of it and (in the case of bread) feeling physically bad after. I had to stop buying bread to avoid doing this.[1]). Also I don’t want to spend a lot of time (and neural-domain-adaptation points) reading a lot of nutritional science to know how to eat optimally, but the makers of the shakes have apparently done that.
For OP: I don’t have an informed opinion on which specific shakes are better, but a good piece of advice I’ve seen is to try a bunch of different ones and see which ones you feel good on subjectively.
