THE ROOTANA STANDARD

What's really in your meal shake?

Developed by nutritionists and food scientists over two years, Rootana takes a position most shakes won't. Most of them, even the ones marketed as natural, rely on high-intensity sweeteners. Rootana contains none of them. Here's why we drew the line.

the nutrition you need. and nothing you don't.

A 400 calorie complete meal made from real food. Oats, pea protein and flaxseed, with all 27 vitamins and minerals. No sweeteners, no maltodextrin, no unwanted extras. It tastes like real food because it is real food.

Complete nutrition

A scientifically balanced macro split: low-GI complex carbs for steady, gradual energy, plant protein for the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, healthy fats and fiber. Plus all 27 essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, D, zinc and selenium, which contribute to normal immune function.

No half measures 

Many shakes are too low in calories and too high in protein to be a real meal. Rootana's 400 calories fuel you properly, with the macro balance a meal should have.

Zero sweeteners

No stevia, no sucralose, no aspartame, no acesulfame K, no monk fruit. Sweeteners add no nutrition and carry the risks above, so Rootana is naturally flavored with a small amount of coconut sugar instead.

Tastes like real food

With nothing engineered in the recipe, there's no artificial aftertaste, none of the bloat many sweeteners cause, and it's easy to digest. Just a gentle, oaty sweetness.

HOW DOES IT TASTE?

Honestly? It tastes like food.

Most shakes taste very sweet because they're engineered to. Rootana tastes like lightly sweetened oats, because that's what it's made of. No synthetic aftertaste, no cloying texture, no bloat.

 

Rootana doesn't use artificial sweeteners, no stevia, no sucralose (Splenda), no monk fruit. These ingredients have no nutritional value and may also cause bloating or digestive issues in some people.

 

Every Rootana flavor has a natural oaty taste. Original tastes just like lightly sweetened oatmeal. Dark Chocolate combines the taste of natural dark chocolate and cacao with lightly sweetened oats. Vanilla  combines delicious natural vanilla with the taste of lightly sweetened oats.

Shake one

Different, in a good way

If you're coming from a sucralose or stevia shake, the first thing you'll notice is what's missing: that intense, artificial sweetness. Original tastes like lightly sweetened oatmeal. Dark Chocolate is real cacao over gently sweet oats.

Shake three

Your palate recalibrates

High-intensity sweeteners keep your taste buds tuned to 300 times the sweetness of sugar. Within a few shakes, real food starts tasting right again, and the sweetened stuff starts tasting fake.

Every shake after

Your body catches up

It's not just your palate. Balanced, real food nutrition means steady energy from complex carbs instead of sugar spikes, no bloating, and fewer cravings between meals. Real food starts to feel as good as it tastes.

THE PERFECT BALANCED MEAL

Not a protein shake. A complete meal.

Most meal shakes are too low in calories and too high in protein to be a real meal. Rootana delivers the macro split recommended by the Institute of Medicine. Rootana includes complex carbs from oats for slow-release energy, high quality plant protein, healthy fats rich in omega 3, 6 and 9, and gut-friendly fiber.

COMPLETE NUTRITION

A complete blend of protein, healthy fats, carbs and fiber.

Rootana has a complete nutritional profile and has been designed to provide you with everything needed for a balanced meal. It contains protein, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber. The macronutrient split is based on nutritional research and expert opinions.

 

Complex Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred fuel source. Complex carbohydrates provide slow-releasing energy throughout the day. The higher the fiber content of your carb sources, the more sustained your energy levels will be. Rootana uses oats for the majority of its carbs, which are well known for their low GI score and slow energy release.

 

Healthy Fats

Healthy fats are a crucial component of health. They provide satiety (helping you to feel full after a meal), they are an excellent source of energy, and they can help your body to function correctly. Not consuming enough fat in your diet can lead to low mood, hormonal fluctuations, and increased appetite. It can even affect your immune system. The fats used in Rootana are also filled with vital nutrients including omega-3s, 6s, and 9s.


Vegan Protein

Protein is crucial for building muscle, maintaining a healthy metabolism, and fueling exercise. But it is not just about quantity, the quality of your protein is crucial. Rootana uses high quality plant-based protein, providing you with all the amino acids necessary for muscle building and maintenance. It’s worth being aware that low quality meal shakes often include an excessive amount of low-cost and low-quality protein in their formulas.

Fiber

Fiber is found in carbohydrates, and thanks to the use of high-grade oats, Rootana is high in fiber. Fiber is crucial for a healthy gut and immune system, and it can also help you to maintain a healthy weight. Fiber, like protein, is highly satiating, helping prevent cravings between meals. A high fiber meal is digested at a slower rate, helping your body to absorb more nutrients, whilst also preventing digestive issues.

frequently asked questions

What makes Rootana different to other complete meal brands?

Rootana is different to other complete meal shakes as it provides a perfectly balanced meal and our recipe avoids any unwanted ingredients.

 

Many meal shakes don’t provide a balanced nutritional profile which can lead to energy crashes and snacking between meals. Rootana keeps you feeling full for longer by providing the right amount of slow-release energy from complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. It’s also high in protein, contains fiber to help digestion and contains all 27 vitamins and minerals.

How many times a day can I take Rootana?

Rootana is a nutritious and healthy meal choice and we recommend consuming it for 1-2 meals each day.

What is wrong with Sucralose, Stevia and other sweeteners?

Sweeteners provide no nutritional benefit and may have unwanted short or long-term effects. The WHO has advised against non-sugar sweeteners for weight control, and research has linked a sucralose byproduct to DNA damage in lab studies. Many people also experience bloating and digestive discomfort from them. We will never use them in Rootana.

Is Rootana suitable if I'm on a GLP-1 medication?

Many people using GLP-1 medications eat less overall, which makes the quality of every calorie matter more. Each Rootana serving provides 400 balanced calories with 20g of protein, fiber and all 27 vitamins and minerals, and you can scale the serving to your appetite: 2 scoops makes a 200 calorie mini meal. There are no sweeteners of any kind, just a mild, gentle taste. Rootana is a food, not a treatment, and it doesn't replace medical advice, so follow your doctor's guidance on your nutrition.

Is coconut sugar bad for me? Will it make me gain weight?

Rootana contains only a small amount of organic coconut sugar for gentle, natural sweetness. Coconut sugar has a lower glycaemic impact than refined sugar, and within a 400 calorie balanced meal it will not spike blood sugar the way sweetened snacks do. Weight change comes down to overall calories, and Rootana makes those easy to track.

How much protein do I need in my meal shake?

Rootana is classed as being high in protein because 20% of the calories in Rootana come from protein. This is the right level of protein relative to the other macro nutrients for the vast majority of active people. A standard serving (4 scoops) of Rootana will provide 20g of protein, a large serving (6 scoops) will provide 30g of protein.

Can Rootana help me lose weight?

Rootana is a high protein, high fibre, meal replacement shake that contains 400 calories. It can make dieting easier, and can be an effective component of a calorie deficit diet. However, Rootana is not solely designed for weight loss, and it can also be used for healthy weight management or even building muscle. Put simply, it is better food.

Can you drink Rootana every day?

Yes, Rootana can fit into a healthy diet very easily, and has no side effects or controversial ingredients. Consuming it daily is perfectly safe, as well as being cost-effective and efficient.

Is Rootana a meal replacement?

Rootana is designed to replace 1-2 meals per day. However, it doesn't contain any of the unhealthy ingredients that are found in other meal replacements and weight loss shakes. Rootana made from real, healthy food ingredients that have been combined and made into a shake.
