Rooibos Lifestyle Shake – 500g

Over 50 years of nourishing South African families — now better than ever.

Some products earn their place through decades of real results. The Annique Rooibos Lifestyle Shake has been a cornerstone of the Annique range since the very first day the business opened its doors in 1971 — back then affectionately called “Wonder Slim.” Thousands of consultants and customers have since shared how it has helped them achieve healthier weight, supported growing children, aided recovery from illness, and kept busy households fuelled with consistent, balanced nutrition.

The 2025 reformulation brings the Shake into its next era. Drawing on new developments in nutritional science and updated guidelines from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), the formula has been meaningfully improved — not just updated. The result is a shake that delivers more of what your body needs, with a noticeably better taste and texture.

What Changed in the 2025 Formula

Palm oil has been replaced entirely with milk powder, creating a creamier, smoother mouthfeel. Stevia has been swapped for a balanced blend of sucralose and acesulfame K, eliminating the bitter aftertaste some users experienced. Protein content has increased significantly — from 16.9g to 27.4g per 100g — to better support muscle recovery, satiety and sustained energy. Fat content has been reduced substantially (from 36.1g to 10.7g per 100g), making the reformulated Shake more suitable for calorie-conscious users. Carbohydrates now come primarily from milk powder, providing a balanced energy release ideal for mornings or pre-exercise.

The full vitamin and mineral profile remains intact across both formulas, including vitamins A, C, D, E, all B-vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and more — so every serving continues to deliver comprehensive micronutrient support alongside the improved macronutrient profile.

⚠️ The ingredients are suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, though it is advisable to consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Children under 4 years and insulin-dependent diabetics or those with impaired renal function should consult a doctor before starting this or any other nutritional programme.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Rooibos Extract
A uniquely South African herbal ingredient rich in antioxidants that may help reduce oxidative stress. Rooibos gives this shake its heritage and sets it apart from standard nutrition powders.

High-Quality Protein (Milk Powder Base)
The 2025 formula provides 27.4g of protein per 100g (4.1g per 15g serving), sourced from milk powder rather than palm oil. This supports muscle repair after exercise, promotes a feeling of fullness, and helps stabilise energy levels throughout the day.

Inulin Fibre
A prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a balanced microbiome, healthier digestion, reduced bloating and improved regularity. Each serving delivers 1.1g of fibre.

Complete Vitamin Complex (13 Vitamins)
Includes vitamins A, C, D, E, K and a full B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12). B-vitamins support natural energy production and brain function; vitamin C and D contribute to immune defence; biotin (B7) supports skin, hair and nail health; folic acid supports cell growth and is particularly valuable during pregnancy.

10 Essential Minerals
Calcium (28.2mg per serving), iron (3.6mg), zinc (2.2mg), selenium (11µg), magnesium (via OptiCalMag pairing), manganese (460µg), iodine (30µg), chromium (4µg), potassium (8.8mg) and phosphorus (7.9mg) work together to support bone health, immune function, thyroid function and metabolic processes.

Sweetener Blend (Sucralose + Acesulfame K)
Replaces the previous Stevia formulation to deliver balanced sweetness without bitterness — making the 2025 Shake noticeably more enjoyable to drink daily.
