Meal Replacement | Hero Ingredient Spotlight

Our newest innovation, True Meal Replacement, is a carefully crafted blend of premium ingredients designed to provide a complete, balanced meal in one convenient shake. Whether you're seeking a quick meal on the go or looking to support your overall well-being, True Meal Replacement has everything you need. 

With a unique combination of high-quality protein, gut-friendly fibre, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, we wanted to spotlight some of the hero ingredients that make True Meal Replacement the powerhouse that it is. 

 

Natural wholefood carbohydrates

Australian Sweet Potato and Australian Rice Flour 

Traditional meal replacements are full of sugar and high GI carbs. This can raise your blood sugar levels, providing you with a short burst of energy, followed by a crash. We've used Australian sweet potato and Australian rice flour as our source of carbohydrates for Meal Replacement. These are both high quality sources of carbs that will not only provide you with sustained energy but also keep you fuller for longer.  

 

Dietary fibre

Sunfiber - Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum (PHGG) 

Dietary fibre is an important component of any meal replacement as it helps to keep the digestive system healthy by promoting regular bowel movements, nourishing healthy gut bacteria, and slowing digestion to allow better nutrient absorption. Sunfiber, also known as Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum is a well-tolerated low FODMAP-friendly prebiotic fibre. It's all natural and helps to support digestive health, promote regularity and a healthy gut microbiome, flora and intestinal ecosystem. 

 

Protein

Grass-fed New Zealand Casein Protein 

New Zealand protein is considered the best in the world. The livestock processes are of a much higher standard meaning the quality of the milk is superior thanks to their rich pasture-fed diet and New Zealand’s idyllic climate that allows nutritious, healthy grass to grow in abundance. This leads to a higher quality raw material with exceptional mixability and taste in the finished product. 

Casein protein is a slow releasing/digesting protein. This means amino acids are delivered to your muscles over a longer period, slowing digestion and encouraging satiety. Protein plays an important role in a number of bodily functions including promoting lean muscle growth and maintenance and supporting a healthy immune system.  

 

Milk Phospholipids

Broad spectrum phospholipids derived from grass-fed NZ milk 

Milk phospholipids are natural fats found in full cream milk. They are critical components of cell membranes and are essential for brain function. Phospholipids account for about 20-25% of the dry weight of the brain, which is nearly 60% fat. One serve of Meal Replacement contains the equivalent number of broad-spectrum phospholipids found in 1.3 litres of full cream milk.  

Studies have shown that dietary phospholipids are efficiently absorbed by the human body and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Adequate intake of phospholipids is vital for maintaining healthy cell membrane integrity, supporting a healthy stress response, and promoting mood stability. Our formula provides a clinically proven dose of milk phospholipids to support mood health and stress relief when used regularly.  

 

Healthy Fats

Organic Ghee and Coconut MCT Oil 

Our blend of Organic Ghee and Coconut MCT Oil offers premium, high-quality healthy fats that serve as a potent source of clean fuel for sustained energy throughout the day. Organic Ghee supports a healthy metabolism and promotes gut health. Coconut MCT Oil is quickly absorbed and provides rapid energy, boosts cognitive function, and enhances satiety, helping with weight management. Together, these fats work to support metabolism, mental clarity, and prolonged fullness, making them a valuable addition to our Meal Replacement. 

 

Natural Flavours and Sweeteners 

Unlike traditional meal replacement products, True Meal Replacement is 100% naturally derived and is low in natural sugars, so you know you’re fuelling your body with only the best.  We avoid using added sugars and artificial sweeteners or flavours to maintain a natural taste and clean formula you know you can trust.
