What is Shaklee Life Shake?
Shaklee Life Shake is a complete-nutrition shake built to work as a quick meal or snack – not just a protein hit. The Australian version is the Soy French Vanilla, 720 g tub. Each serve delivers 16.5 g of a non-GMO soy and rice protein blend (a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids) alongside 15 essential vitamins and minerals, in a low-glycaemic formula. It is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
Ingredients and nutrition
The standouts on the label:
- Complete plant protein – a soy and rice blend supplying all nine essential amino acids, including leucine to help support lean muscle.
- 15 essential vitamins and minerals – including vitamin D3, B12, iron and vitamin C – so it works as foundational daily nutrition, not just protein.
- Low GI – formulated to avoid the blood-sugar spike of sugary breakfasts.
- Clean label – non-GMO, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
It is the same nutritional foundation Shaklee has used across its published long-term health research, which is a big part of why long-time customers trust it.
What does Shaklee Life Shake taste like?
Taste makes or breaks a shake. The French Vanilla is the most popular flavour in Australia, and reviewers repeatedly describe it as smooth and creamy rather than gritty or chalky – a common complaint with other meal shakes. It blends cleanly in a shaker or blender. Many Aussies report it does not cause bloating the way some whey shakes do.
Is Shaklee Life Shake good for weight loss?
Used as a meal replacement within a sensible, reduced-energy eating pattern and regular activity, a complete low-GI shake like Life Shake can support a healthy weight – it is filling, high in protein, and helps you avoid the mid-morning vending machine. That is exactly how it is used in the structured Shaklee weight programs. It is a tool, though, not magic: results depend on your overall diet, movement and consistency. If weight is your main goal, also see our Shaklee & Modere weight loss guide and the Lean Body System.
How to use it
For adults: blend or shake two scoops with around 240 mL of your milk of choice (dairy or a fortified plant milk) as a meal replacement, or one scoop in less liquid as a snack. Once a day is typical; structured weight programs may use it to replace two meals. Add fruit, nut butter or greens to customise.
