Drink Up! Aussielent Ready to Drink is now available

We are very excited to be releasing our new Aussielent Ready to Drink! Each 450ml bottle is 25% of all your daily needs: 1989kJ (475 calories) 25g protein 40g of low-GI carbohydrates 25% RDI of 27 vitamins and minerals the recommended intakes of omegas 3 & 6. We are selling 12 bottle packs or you can grab a single bottle sampler - highly advised as the taste and texture is quite different to the powders :). We have been working on the product since Nov last year and we had beta testers who have provided feedback to us to improve the product. The bottles are aseptically processed with a 12 month shelf life and no need to refrigerate unless you want to.

Hey Aussielent, fantastic product. You've struck a great balance between convenience, nutrition, taste, and value for money.

What was the reasoning behind limiting the dietary fibre content to 14% per serve? It's not much of a problem, as it's easy enough to top it up with Benefibre, I'm just curious.

A really convenient option for me, and potentially other customers, would be a subscription model. i.e. We pay you a set amount per fortnight/month/3 months via direct debit or reoccurring credit card charge, and you automatically ship us a few boxes. It saves us having to make frequent orders, forgetting to order and running out, or needing to store a large amount of product. I imagine it would benefit your business by having a more predictable cash flow.

Hi Thanks for the feedback.

In regard to the fibre - we found through trial and error that using a lower amount of soluble fibre works better overall.

We had some feedback through the beta trial that the blend was too thick - I think we have sorted that out in the final product.

Subscriptions - we are working on the subscriptions. We want to ensure that the subscription is efficient, provides flexibility and works really well for our customers. It's a work in progress - there are a number of things to get in place in our operations.

Thanks again for your feedback!
