Is OLOE suitable for kids?
+
Absolutely! We primarily recommend OLOE® 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.
The OLOE® Shake is not suitable for ages 0-12 months, as kids within this age range have different sensitivities and requirements.
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.

Why is it more expensive?
+
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 80% 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.
Has the OLOE® Shake been quality tested?
+
Absolutely! The OLOE® Shake was manufactured in a GMP certified facility and the formulation has been independently tested to ensure a safe, quality experience. Intertek, Agrifood, SGS and Eurofins are leading providers of testing and analysis services to the global food industry.
Is the OLOE® Shake a Meal Replacement?
+
No, it is not. The OLOE® Shake is designed to complement and encourage eating a balanced whole foods diet as a nutritional super snack or to be paired with any meal. It is an Organic, Plant-Based Nutritional Shake with Premium Wholefoods for any time of the day. The OLOE® Shake is packed with Protein, Omega-3’s, Fibre, plus Essential Vitamins and Minerals.
How many can I have per day?
+
As with the consumption of any food or drink (and depending on factors such as your gender, age, weight and lifestyle), it’s always important to understand your Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of key macronutrients (e.g. Protein, Fibre etc.) and micronutrients (e.g. vitamins and minerals). Use our Free RDI Calculator Tool to learn more!
For example, we tend to recommend 1 OLOE® Shake per day for kids Aged 8 and below, as this accounts for around 50% of their daily Protein, Fibre & Iron needs. The shake itself is designed to be nutrient-rich but not a meal replacement, so in terms of daily use, one would be ideal in this case.
As for adults, requirements would be different if comparing the average daily lifestyle versus highly active lifestyles of athletes etc. Therefore, we typically recommend 2 per day to help hit macro-nutrient targets, which may involve having one during breakfast time and/or another after a workout, where necessary. One OLOE® Shake still accounts for roughly 1/3 of the daily required Fibre and Iron for adults.
Ultimately, OLOE® Shakes are made from organic wholefood ingredients and are designed to complement a balanced wholefoods diet to boost essential nutrients and fill gaps, rather than replace meals.

What is the shelf-life of the OLOE® Shake?
+
The OLOE® Shake is 12 months shelf-stable (from the production date) for the Chocolate and Vanilla flavours, and 9 months shelf-stable for Banana.
They are safe to drink even if they haven't been refrigerated. However, they should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality. Once open, the OLOE® Shake does need to be refrigerated and will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Like most drinks, they are best enjoyed chilled and it is important to shake them very well before consuming!
What do we mean by "Allergen-Friendly"?
+
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, Peanuts, 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, AgriFood Technology and Eurofins (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 us at hello@weareoloe.com, and we 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.
What are 'Organic Natural Flavours'?
+
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 Glycerin (from Organic Flaxseeds).
The Chocolate flavour is extracted from Organic Cocoa, Vanilla flavour is extracted from Organic Vanilla Beans, and Banana flavour is extracted from Banana.
