Why have you removed some shake flavours?

2023’s main focus is to optimise our product line, to ensure our customers’ favourites are prioritised, and simplifying the supply chain to ensure a more reliably-stocked website.

As part of our drive to optimise a much-loved product line, we are discontinuing some shake flavours to make way for the new shake range. After extensive customer research, including a focus group and private tasting panel, your feedback has been crucial to our decision making.

We really hope that you fall in love with the improvements we’ve made to our shakes!

With less sugar, are the new shakes still sweet?

Yes – no need to worry! The original and new recipe both contained an artificial sweetener called ‘sucralose’, which is naturally sweeter than real sugar. The new shakes have less skimmed milk powder (which contains sugar), but our food development team have worked tirelessly through recipe trials and customer feedback to ensure they still have their distinct delicious flavours.

Has the taste and texture changed?

Our shakes are still deliciously creamy, but you may notice a slight texture difference. This is because we’ve removed the skimmed milk powder, to significantly reduce the sugar content. At exante, we don’t mind a minor texture change to achieve such a big nutritional change of >10g less sugar.

Try for yourself!
