Hey Parents, the idea of cleaner, organic ingredients and much lower sugar may sound great...
But are your kids truly ready for OLOE?
Honestly, maybe not...and that’s EXACTLY why we created it!
We’d love it to be for everyone right away, however if you’re expecting a direct alternative to cheap flavoured milk, liquid breakfasts or milkshakes, this might not be a good fit...
If you're looking for a healthier functional beverage with a greater mission, here's how OLOE aims to help...
This is the best product for children. Full of absolute organic goodness no nasties. It’s awesome we love it and I recommend this product to everyone. Well done awesome work

We’re thrilled that many enjoy the unique OLOE taste right away, but some families may struggle at first. Some may even think it’s “bitter”, and this makes sense to us!
But, why? It’s often the sharp sweetness contrast to common products which creates this perception. It is also why it can take time and consistency to reset the palate.
Wondering if this might be you?
Yes, it could be due to individual taste preferences (which is absolutely fine), but from what we've learnt, it’s usually due to sugar habits and lifestyle…
This is NOT a total surprise, especially when we consider what the average home’s relationship to nutrition has been like in the past. After all, sugar is added to nearly EVERYTHING we consume. Let us explain…
Here’s a bit of an extreme analogy, however it does help to paint a picture…
Think of the first time you switched from sugary milk chocolate to healthier dark chocolate...
At first, it was kind of a WHOA moment! But soon you enjoyed how rich it was and naturally felt better for it.
Then going back to milk chocolate some days after gave you that sickly sweet feeling.
We want a similar healthy shift for kids (and adults) to help develop a new benchmark for sweetness. OLOE is designed to support this journey.
As a society, we’ve become accustomed to cheap ingredients and high levels of excess sugar, while not consuming enough healthy foods like vegetables.
The statistics from the Australian Health Department prove that, and these habits have shaped our frame of reference for acceptable sweetness which has become the normal baseline…
So, what next? It means resetting the palate to a much lower sweetness tolerance can take time and patience. However, this is our ultimate goal for the long term health of you and your family.
When combined with the meals you lovingly prepare, OLOE is the nutritional super snack that fights back! We know the battle won’t always be easy, but change is necessary, whether with OLOE or not…
Some school canteen-approved drinks contain up to 30g of sugar per serving. That’s nearly 7 and a half teaspoons!
Yes, masking drinks with high sugar is a cheap and easy way to ensure kids love it. But is this a good trade for some Protein or Fibre? We don’t think so...
For reference, 30g is also 100% of the DAILY recommended intake of added sugars for kids aged 11.
Not only are we nutrient-rich in more key areas from superfoods and veggies, but one smooth and creamy chocolate OLOE Shake has only 5.8g of total sugar from Organic Natural Sweeteners (meaning no refined sugars).
That’s nearly 60% LESS than the leading liquid breakfast drink, and up to 80% LESS than school canteen-approved flavoured milks (which are rated as healthy).
OLOE Shakes use a purposeful blend of Organic Agave (from the Agave cactus plant), Organic Stevia (from the Stevia Plant), and Organic Erythritol (from Organic Corn).
With food scientists, we mixed multiple Organic sweeteners together in low quantities to create balanced sweetness and dramatically reduce simple sugar levels. This is a HUGE difference!
It’s also why athletes and active kids tend to prefer it. They love the refreshing taste that’s not sickly sweet, and enjoy more sustained energy without the sugar crash.
However, others may not be ready for it just yet...
As with anything, education is the key to learning more about specific challenges and how to mitigate the potential risks. Not all sugar is created equal, and both quality and quantity matter.
When we typically talk about sugar, we usually refer to cheap "Refined Sugar" or "Table Sugar". Making healthier swaps and moderating our intake is always the goal.
Remember, it's always important to consider multiple viewpoints from credible sources to support making informed decisions for you and your family.
Some reasons to limit sugar for children as provided in the article by Good Parenting called "14 Negative Effects of Sugar on Kids and How to Avoid It" include:
It’s not about being perfect, it’s about making progress!
The earlier we can shift minds and instill healthier habits, the more chance they have to last into adulthood.
We get it’s challenging, but our patterns desperately need to change to support wellbeing in the short- AND long-term...
Otherwise, the cycle of excess sugar consumption WILL continue.
You got this. Consistency is key, because it might not happen the first time…
So, if you’re ready for the challenge, join our mission for better nutrition and try OLOE today!
I just wanted to say I am so grateful that your brand exists. My son has issues with food intake and supplementing with OLOE has dramatically helped. I was previously giving him ‘u&g’ but hated the fact that it has so many artificial additives.

Yes it is! We primarily recommend it for all ages 3 and above as a nutritious snack option because we've designed the protein, fibre, and omega-3 content primarily with the recommended daily intake (RDI) of children aged 3-12 in mind.
Unlike powdered toddler formulas, which are typically developed for ages 1-2 (and sometimes 3), the ready-to-drink OLOE Shake is tailored for slightly older children's nutritional requirements and so a full serving is likely too nutrient-dense below this age range.
However, because it's made with natural ingredients, we tend to leave it up to the parents to decide what's best for their family.
Just be sure to read the nutritional label carefully to understand the amount of nutrients your child is receiving per serving and how this relates to the RDI of their age group.
We’re not your average nutritional shake! Most convenience products are filled with low-quality ingredients, loaded with sugar and only focus on having meaningful amounts of one nutrient, like Protein. Busy people need a lot more than that, and quickly.
The OLOE Shake was purposefully developed from the finest ingredients to deliciously boost a range of essential nutrients, and dramatically lower sugar in the most convenient way possible. Not all products are created equal, quality matters.
What does this mean? Here are 5 reasons:
1. Nutrient-rich: packed with Protein, Fibre, Omega-3 ALA, Iron, Calcium, Vitamin B12, D & E
2. Broad Benefits: Supports physical, cognitive, digestive health & more
3. Premium: highest quality ingredients (including Organic Coconut, Organic Chia Seeds & Organic Spinach)
4. No refined sugar: naturally sweetened and up to 70% less total sugar compared to the market-leading liquid breakfast drink
5. Super convenient: no more messy powders, it’s in a ready-to-drink format that is shelf-stable so you can take it anywhere & power up in seconds. Perfect for the fridge or pantry.
All this for less than a café coffee per serving.
Absolutely! The OLOE® Shake was manufactured in a certified facility and the formulation has been independently tested to ensure you and your family enjoy a safe, quality experience. Intertek and SGS are leading providers of testing and analysis services to the global food industry.
No, it does not. The natural OLOE® Shake is 12 months shelf stable (from the production date) and safe to drink even if it hasn’t been refrigerated. It should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality.
However, like most drinks, it’s best enjoyed chilled! Once open, the OLOE® Shake does need to be refrigerated and will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
When we refer to our products as “Allergen-Friendly,” we mean they are not made with ingredients containing the most common allergens such as dairy, gluten, peanut, soy, and shellfish.
We do, however, manufacture in a facility that also produces dairy, gluten and soy products. Part of our quality control process is to thoroughly clean the lines before and after production of the OLOE Shake.
While our OLOE Shake is formulated to be allergen-friendly, every child is different in terms of their sensitivities and tolerances to various ingredients. Therefore, we always recommend reading the ingredients label carefully to ensure it aligns with your child’s specific dietary needs.
The OLOE® Shake has been independently tested by SGS, Intertek and AgriFood Technology (Global Food Quality Assurance agencies).
Additionally, it’s crucial to consult with healthcare professionals or allergists if your child has known allergies or sensitivities. They can provide personalized guidance based on your child’s individual requirements.
If you have specific questions about allergens and their presence in our products, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team, who will be happy to assist you.
Please remember that this FAQ provides general information and guidance. It is essential to prioritise individual circumstances and seek professional advice regarding allergies and dietary restrictions.
Organic Natural Flavours in the OLOE® Shake are derived from natural plant-based sources to improve taste due to the more bitter notes such as organic kale and organic cacao, for example. We use these flavours rather than animal-based flavours or artificial flavours, which are chemically made.
Base is water and organic glycerin (from flaxeeds).
The chocolate flavour is extracted from Organic Cocoa, vanilla flavour is extracted from Organic Vanilla Beans and the strawberry flavour is extracted from Organic Strawberries.
