meal replacement

Drinkable nutrition substitute

A meal replacement is a food product—typically a shake, bar, or powder—formulated to substitute for a full meal while providing comparable nutrition.

Meal replacements are marketed for weight loss, convenience, or athletic training: I grabbed a meal replacement shake because I didn't have time for lunch.

The term distinguishes these products from snacks or supplements.
