We launched our\u00a0 <\/span>1\u2122 Complete Food Shake<\/b><\/a> just over a year ago. But recently, we\u2019ve been busy refreshing the formula to create something better. A new look. A new taste. And we believe we\u2019ve come up with something quite special. If you haven\u2019t yet tried it, here are five reasons to give it a go. And don\u2019t just take our word for it, our ambassadors and your fellow customers agree. Are you ready?<\/span><\/p>\n

Nutritionally sound<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first thing to mention is that our 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake is not a protein shake. Although high in protein, the shake has been created using wholefoods, plant extracts, vitamins and minerals. This means it provides a balanced source of protein, carbs, fats and fibre in one satisfying sitting.<\/span><\/p>\n

It packs in 400kcal of quality nutrition per serving and is designed to be consumed as a convenient addition to a healthy, balanced diet. Per serving, 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake delivers 30g protein, 37g carbs, 12g fat and 9.6g fibre. Looking at this in terms of energy balance, 30% of calories come from protein, 37% from carbs, 28% from fat and 5% from fibre. In addition, it includes at least 30% of your daily recommended intake of vitamins and minerals. Not bad for something you can shake up in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that we recommend enjoying a maximum of two shakes per day, as getting in your nutrients from wholefoods is the optimum way. 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake just allows you to support a healthy diet, rather than replace it completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the word ‘healthy’ means something different to everyone\u201d, says Ellie Minshall<\/strong><\/a>, Registered Associate Nutritionist, \u201cwhat we can guarantee is that the shake includes all essential vitamins and minerals and a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat, which you might struggle to find in a typical meal. Especially on the go. Your body needs all these components to function at its best.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Convenient and saves time<\/b><\/h2>\n

Perfect for busy mornings when you’re dashing out the door, need to squeeze in a quick lunch between back-to-back meetings or just don\u2019t have the time to cook. This is a blessing to have in your cupboard. Simply scoop into a <\/span>protein shaker<\/b><\/a><\/span>, add water and shake. You\u2019re good to go. It couldn\u2019t be simpler. It couldn\u2019t be more convenient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all human and sometimes priorities shift, so this is a life-saver if you didn\u2019t have time to prepare a meal. The convenience of being able to bring a shake with you, whether it\u2019s work, an event or an evening settler means you can get in a nutritious meal on the go. As an easy option for busy people, it could be a game changer that ensures you maintain a balanced diet. And it\u2019s certainly better than skipping a meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better than skipping a meal<\/b><\/h2>\n

Abi Roberts<\/strong>, a qualified Sports Nutritionist, explains why. \u201cSkipping meals is often a bad idea for a number of reasons. Firstly, skipping a meal more than once in a day may result in tiredness and general lethargy, which is the opposite of what you want to feel during your working day, especially if you\u2019re thinking about attending the gym.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, skipping meals means you may be missing out on some key nutrients. Our 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake doesn\u2019t just provide us with the fuel we need to physically function throughout the day, but it also provides us with the micronutrients and fibre we need to keep our inner systems running smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, skipping meals could lead to increased cravings for snacks, particularly those with a high-fat and high-sugar content. While these kinds of foods have a place in most diets and thus shouldn\u2019t be demonised, it\u2019s still not a good idea to crave and possibly graze on foods that typically have low nutritional value during a period of hunger and lethargy, which may result in you feeling worse afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opting for an alternative that can provide you with the energy and nutrients your body requires, instead of skipping the meal altogether, is a more advisable option.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Saves money<\/b><\/h2>\n

Our new 700g trial pouch features seven meals for less than \u00a310, equating to \u00a31.43 per meal. If you upgrade to our standard 3kg pack, that goes down to \u00a31.33 per meal. All your macronutrients are right here in a simple, satisfying format. Having the shake available gives you an inexpensive option that doesn\u2019t compromise on quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tastes good<\/b><\/h2>\n

Last but not least, we just want to assure you that this shake tastes good. Our Innovation team has worked hard to make sure the texture is smooth and creamy. Available in three incredible flavours – our new creamy White Chocolate Coconut, velvety Chocolate and smooth Vanilla. If you\u2019re curious about the taste, try one of our 700g trial pouches for just \u00a39.99. You won\u2019t regret it. Now let’s take a look at what our ambassadors and customers have been saying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What our ambassadors say\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Alex Crockford<\/i><\/b><\/a> – Personal Trainer and Online Coach<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201cThere are sometimes those days when I haven\u2019t been shopping for my lunch, or haven\u2019t prepared anything, or I\u2019m just in a rush, and that\u2019s when it\u2019s perfect to just quickly make a 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake. <\/span>I know that I\u2019m not just getting all the protein I need with this meal, but also all my essential vitamins and minerals too. It mixes easily, it\u2019s nice and smooth and you can adjust the thickness depending on how much water you need. I sometimes even blend it up with almond milk for a creamier texture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“The 1\u2122 Complete Food Shake is great for when I don’t have the time or inclination to prepare a meal. It helps to keep me on track when I am busy or travelling”<\/span><\/p>\n

What our customers say<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bernard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI have been taking this for about a year and a half now. As I’m busy with work and studies, it is a great way to get my nutrients in as well as protein. It is cheaper compared to other brands, and I also like the fact it contains natural ingredients such as peas, sweet potatoes and avocados in comparison to other brands which contain mostly glucose. The taste is great, and I like to mix it with some powdered collagen and frozen fruit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alice P<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI’ve tried numerous vegan meal shakes and this is definitely one of the best. The nutritional profile is great and I appreciate the sustainable packaging. The price and 3kg size are a great combo, making it one of the most cost-effective and convenient options. The texture was thick and smooth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI have been consuming various shakes from brands like Huel, Vivo Life etc etc. This one is by far my favourite. The nutrition provided by each serving comprehensively covers all your macro\/micronutrient needs. Super easy to make and has a good consistency. I purchased Chocolate flavour, and considering it contains no dairy, it tastes on par with most whey-based shakes. It doesn’t have that sickly planty taste some other vegan powders have. Will be using this for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex W.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cTastes much better than Huel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
