FAQs: Menopause & Weight Loss | Eve Biology
Product Information
What are adaptogens, and why does the shake include them?
Adaptogens are plants that have been studied for how they interact with the body's response to stress. The Rebalancing Shake contains two. Ashwagandha KSM-66® is a well-researched ashwagandha root extract, studied for its association with lower perceived stress and support for sleep quality. Ginkgo biloba is a plant extract traditionally used and researched for memory and focus. We include them because stress, sleep and mental clarity are among the areas women tell us shift most during perimenopause and menopause. You'll find the exact amounts of both, alongside everything else in the formulation, on our ingredients page

Our shakes are designed to be a healthy meal replacement option that can fit into your long-term nutritional plan. They are great for controlling weight, maintaining a balanced diet and supporting ongoing health and wellness goals. However, as always, we recommend pairing the shakes with a healthy diet to ensure you're getting a comprehensive range of nutrients.
How do I store Eve Biology shakes?
To maintain their quality and potency, it's important to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures and moisture can affect the stability of the nutrients and the overall quality of the product. There's no need for refrigeration, but keeping them in a pantry or a cabinet away from heat sources works best. Always ensure the pouch is sealed after use to preserve freshness and prevent contamination.

Eve Biology shakes are produced in small batches. Each batch has a shelf life of 12 months. Our commitment to small-batch production means that you consistently receive our product at its best, ensuring that every shake you consume is as effective and nourishing as intended.
What flavours are available?
We offer 3 flavours, classic Vanilla, rich Chocolate, and summer Strawberry. However, you can also combine these flavours together to create different experiences eg 1 scoop of vanilla and 1 scoop of chocolate or 1 scoop of strawberry and 1 of vanilla to create different flavours. Our shakes taste great just with water but you can also use milk, almond milk or oat milk.
Are Eve Biology shakes non-GMO?
Yes, we use only non-GMO ingredients in our shakes.
Are your shakes suitable for vegans?
Yes, our shakes are 100% plant based and do not contain any animal products.
Are the shakes suitable for people with IBS?
Our shakes include Actilight® scFOS, a prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Fermentable fibres affect people with IBS differently and can trigger symptoms for some, so if you have IBS, start slowly and check with your healthcare practitioner.
Can I replace more than 2 main meals a day if I'm trying to lose weight?
No. Our meal replacement shakes while nutritionally balanced, should only be used as part of a balanced diet. They should replace 1 or 2 of your 3 daily meals not all of them.
A healthy diet should be varied and include whole foods to ensure you're getting a wide range of essential nutrients. Rapid weight loss through extreme dietary changes is often not sustainable and can impact your health negatively. It's best to aim for gradual weight loss while enjoying a diverse and nutritious diet.
Using Your Shakes
How do I prepare an Eve Biology shake?
Add 300ml of water or liquid of choice (milk, non dairy milk) to a blender. Add two level scoops of Eve Biology meal replacement powder. Blend for 60 seconds. If shaking there will be a slight coarseness as coconut doesn't mix completely.
Do I have to use a blender?
No, you can use a protein shaker. Takes a minute or so. Always add liquid before powder. Ice after mixing and not before. If mixing by hand there will be a slight coarseness as the coconut in our shakes doesn't completely disappear.
Can I mix the shake with milk instead of water?
Our shakes taste great just with water but you can mix the shake with milk, oat milk, coconut milk or almond milk for a different flavour. Just keep in mind milk will increase the calories of the shake. There is roughly 186 calories in 300ml of whole milk and 155 calories in semi skimmed milk. In saying that even with milk our shakes are still low calorie - 209 calories with water - 395 calories with milk.
Can I add fruits or other ingredients to the shakes?
Try frozen berries which are low GI so won't spike blood sugar - blueberries, strawberries and blackberries are all options.
Can I take these shakes if I'm fasting?
If you're on an intermittent fasting regimen, our shakes are a convenient way to get good nutrition within your eating window.
Can I have the shake for dinner instead of breakfast or lunch?
We recommend our meal replacement shakes should be consumed in the day because it's easier to stick with a routine. Enjoy a healthy balanced meal in the evening with family and/or friends - no calorie counting!
Why do you recommend a 5 day plan and not a 7 day one?
This approach offers structure during the weekdays when schedules are often more consistent, making it easier to maintain a weight loss plan. By allowing flexibility on weekends, it accommodates social engagements and family time, making your dietary regimen feel less restrictive and more sustainable in the long term. This balance helps make the journey towards health goals more enjoyable and manageable. Of course, the shakes are still beneficial if you choose to continue them during weekends, but the 5-day recommendation is about finding a practical, enjoyable rhythm that supports both your physical goals and lifestyle preferences.
Dietary & Health Concerns
Can I use these shakes while on the 5:2 diet?
If you are considering using our shakes on the 5:2 diet, it's worth remembering that we don't recommend replacing all solid food entirely, even on fasting days. For optimal health and to ensure you’re receiving a balanced intake of nutrients, we suggest replacing just one or two meals—either breakfast or lunch—with our shakes. We do recommend including at least one solid meal while on the shakes. This helps maintain a healthy balance of nutrients and supports your body's natural digestive processes. If you have any more questions or need further assistance in tailoring our shakes to your diet plan, please don't hesitate to contact us.
