Annique Rooibos Lifestyle Shake 500g (30 Day Supply)

Nourish your body, fuel your day and support your goals — one delicious shake at a time.

What It Does

The Annique Rooibos Lifestyle Shake has a history unlike any other product in the range. Originally launched in 1971 as the very first Annique product — fondly known then as Wonder Slim — this best-selling shake has been improving lives for over five decades. From healthy weight loss and post-illness recovery to nutritional support for growing children and busy professionals, the success stories are countless.

Now newly reformulated for 2025, this upgraded shake meets the latest SAHPRA guidelines and delivers a meaningfully better nutritional profile — more protein, less fat, no palm oil and an improved sweetener blend for a creamier, more enjoyable experience every single day.

Each 15g serving delivers 23 essential vitamins and minerals alongside high-quality protein, gut-supporting inulin fibre and Rooibos antioxidants — in a shake that takes minutes to prepare and can be mixed with milk, water, Rooibos tea or yoghurt.

Choose your flavour:

Vanilla — A smooth, creamy classic that works beautifully with milk, yoghurt or Rooibos tea. The most versatile flavour in the range — clean, light and universally loved.
Chocolate — Rich and indulgent without the guilt. A satisfying, deeply flavoured shake that makes healthy nutrition feel like a treat — perfect for chocolate lovers of all ages.
Strawberry — Light, fresh and naturally fruity. A cheerful, easy-drinking flavour that is a firm favourite with children and adults alike.
Salted Caramel — A sophisticated blend of warm caramel sweetness with a hint of salt. Indulgent, comforting and anything but ordinary — for those who want something a little different.

Using the Shake for Weight Loss

To lose weight sustainably, your daily kilojoule intake needs to be lower than the energy your body uses — creating a calorie deficit. A healthy, sustainable target is to reduce your daily intake by 2,000–3,000kJ per day, which supports fat loss of approximately 0.5–1kg per week. At only 248kJ per serving, the Rooibos Lifestyle Shake fits easily into a calorie-controlled day. Consult your healthcare practitioner or a registered dietitian for a personalised meal plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the shake as a meal replacement? The shake was formulated as a premium daily nutritional supplement rather than a meal replacement.

Why was stevia replaced with Sucralose and Acesulfame-K? The new sweetener blend offers a smoother, more balanced taste with no bitter aftertaste — making the shake more enjoyable to drink every day.
