Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we begin! To make it easier, we’ve listed them in dot point form:

• High in protein 
• Contains vitamins and minerals
• Excellent source of fibre
• Meets all the requirements to be used as a meal replacement
• No preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or colours
• Assists in weight loss or muscle gain (depending on your goals)
• Easy on digestion
• Helps with hair, skin, and nail health
• A convenient, calorie-controlled, and nutritionally balanced meal substitute that you can make in under a minute!

The Slim Mama Shake is a delicious meal replacement smoothie designed to help with health and/or weight loss goals. It is nutritionally balanced with a specially prepared combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and fibre to keep you feeling fuller for longer. It has been formulated to be smooth, silky, and have no unpleasant aftertaste. It also contains collagen for hair, skin and nail health. Every purchase of our Shake comes with our Weight Loss Guide eBook which includes a meal plan, snack ideas, portion guides and recipes! Weight loss comes down to calories in vs calories out, so the shake can be used in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet (the eBook) to assist you in your weight loss goals. 

Meal replacement shakes and protein shakes are similar products that are both designed to help consumers reach their health goals. The difference is that a meal replacement has more health benefits and can be used to replace a meal. 

The SLIM MAMA SHAKE is designed to help you lose weight by substituting one of your regular meals. 

In accordance with the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth), for a product to be classified as a meal replacement it must contain a minimum 12g of protein, 850kj, and 25% of your recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals. Well, good news Mamas - our SLIM MAMA SHAKE has all of the above! We also decided to add 7g of fibre per serve which according to the government standards places it as an “Excellent source of fibre”.

You may or may not have heard about the new craze going around in the health space - collagen. Collagen peptides, which are found in the SLIM MAMA SHAKE, are a versatile source of protein and an important element of healthy nutrition. Our bodies produce collagen, but like most things in the body it slows down with age. Other factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and an unhealthy diet can also reduce production.

So what's so good about collagen? Let’s see what the science says:

• Helps build muscle and burn fat
• May reverse ageing
• May help build strong hair, skin, and nails
• May reduce cellulite
• May improve digestive health
• May ease joint pain

This is why we decided to add collagen into the SLIM MAMA SHAKE!

Whey (pronounced WAY) is one of the two main proteins in milk (about 20%), the other being casein (about 80%). Whey is separated out during the manufacturing of cheese from dairy milk. It is then filtered, purified, and dried to form whey powder. Whey powder is low in lactose and contains all nine essential amino acids. This means it is a complete protein source, whilst retaining essential vitamins and minerals like calcium and vitamin B12.

Whey protein is among the most studied supplements in the world! It has a very high nutritional value, and scientific studies have revealed numerous health benefits. These include: 

• Helps with weight loss 
• Promotes muscle growth 
• May lower blood pressure 
• Helps keep you fuller for longer 
• Improves immune function 
• Helps control food cravings 
• Helps preserve muscle when losing weight 

This is why the SLIM MAMA SHAKE is made with the wonder that is whey protein!

Fibre is essential to the human body and has numerous health benefits. These include keeping your digestive system healthy, stabilising blood sugar and cholesterol levels, helping to maintain bowel movements, helping with gut health, and aiding in achieving a healthy weight. This is why we decided to ensure we have enough fibre to make the SLIM MAMA SHAKE reach the threshold to receive an ‘excellent source of fibre’ rating by the Australian New Zealand Food Standards.  The fibre we used is called Fibersol®-2. Below are the benefits of Fibersol®-2 straight from the source: 

“Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is a low viscosity soluble dietary fiber that clinical research has indicated helps support or maintain intestinal regularity. Clinical studies show that Fibersol®-2 helps to relieve occasional constipation and select studies show that it improves stool consistency. Fibersol-2 has been demonstrated to delay post-meal hunger and has been shown to increase specific satiety hormones PYY and GLP-1. PYY and GLP-1 are satiety hormones released from the gut that help tell your brain that you are full. In a clinical study, people who consumed Fibersol® -2 felt fuller longer than those that didn’t.”

We only use the natural sweeteners Stevia (extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana) and Thaumatin (extracted from the Katemfe fruit). The SLIM MAMA SHAKE contains no sucralose or aspartame.

Add 1 scoop (30g) to a SLIM MAMA shaker bottle (or blender) containing 250ml of low fat milk (or use your choice of water, milk, dairy-free milk, or coconut water) and shake or blend to mix. 

You can also add in yogurt, berries, bananas, or any type of fruit you like to make a delicious smoothie! See our recipes section for ideas.

We recommend replacing either breakfast, lunch, or both with the SLIM MAMA SHAKE - along with following a healthy calorie-controlled diet. We have eBooks and blog posts to help you with your diet and goals.

So many Mamas avoid protein shakes because they believe it will make them bulky! In fact, protein is the building block of our bodies! We need protein for building and repairing tissues, managing and reducing hunger levels, creating lean muscles, helping to prevent sugar cravings, and even for helping your body repair cells and make new ones! 

Protein should be a part of every woman's diet, which is why the SLIM MAMA SHAKE contains 24g protein per serve when made as directed.

No whey (no pun intended), it is actually the opposite! Whey protein is a convenient way to get protein into your diet, and protein alone won’t make you gain weight! You gain weight when you eat more calories than your body needs to maintain. That is called being in a caloric surplus. Getting enough protein can boost your metabolism, reduce your appetite, and help you lose body fat without losing muscle.

PREGNANCY: As every individual is different and may have specific requirements or a need for special caution, we advise women who are pregnant to seek independent advice from their health practitioner before taking any nutritional supplements

BREASTFEEDING: The Slim Mama Shake is a food product with no artificial ingredients, caffeine, or accelerants, so it can be safely consumed by breastfeeding mums.

In saying that, mamas are all very different and breastfeeding mamas have different dietary needs. Babies can also have food sensitivities, allergies, colic, or digestive issues. When it comes to our precious children it is best to play it safe, and that is why we recommend that you seek the advice of your health professional before making any changes to your diet.

Yes. The SLIM MAMA SHAKE is gluten free.

No, the SLIM MAMA SHAKE contains whey and collagen protein which are not suitable if you are following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

The SLIM MAMA SHAKE itself only has 1.7g sugar per serve. The sugar you see in the nutritional information is from the low fat milk. Milk, and other dairy products such as yogurt, contain the naturally-occurring sugar lactose. Unlike added sugars such as corn syrup and cane sugar, which contribute plenty of calories but zero nutritional value, the natural sugars in dairy are part of a nutrient-dense package, so they aren't something you need to worry about in your diet when consumed in moderation.

The SLIM MAMA SHAKE is designed to be used as a meal replacement. According to the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth), for a product to be classified as a meal replacement it must contain a minimum 12g protein, 850kj and 25% of your recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals. The SLIM MAMA SHAKE adheres to these standards when consumed as per the directions. In other words, we recommend low fat milk if you are using the product as a meal replacement. However, if you are using the SLIM MAMA SHAKE as a post workout shake then it’s fine to use with water. It tastes just as good! Trust us, we’ve tried it!

Of course! We have plenty of men (or Dadas as we jokingly refer to them as) using the SLIM MAMA SHAKE to lose some unwanted kilograms. We find that when couples make a change in their diet or want to lose weight, they are more successful when their partners are supportive and even more so when they join in! If you are a male and are using the SLIM MAMA SHAKE, we recommend adding ½ cup more milk to the shake to ensure you are getting adequate calories.

You can! Weight gain is determined by how many overall calories you eat. Incorporating the SLIM MAMA SHAKE into your diet while you're trying to gain weight ensures you are getting a good dose of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and protein. You might feel uncomfortable with how much food you need to eat to put weight on, so the SLIM MAMA SHAKE is convenient as liquids are easier to consume.

Of course! Weight maintenance is about making sure your calorie intake matches your calorie output. The SLIM MAMA SHAKE is a convenient and easy breakfast to have when you're on the go - so you can be sure you are having a healthy, calorie controlled breakfast to start off your day!
