Zeapure Shake Mix
Zeapure Shake Mix is a nutritional ‘top-up’, ideal for growing children aged 4-12 who need a little more nourishment – fussy eaters, children with small appetites or limited food choices, or children who just need a little boost.
As part of a varied and healthy diet, one glass of Zeapure Shake Mix each day provides vital nutrients, in the right quantities for growing, healthy children. These include:
- Omega-3, iodine, iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 – important for brain development
- Selenium, zinc, and vitamins A & C – for natural immune support
- Calcium – to support bone strength
- Delicious Vanilla and Chocolate flavours
Zeapure Smoothie Kick
Between busy lives, food dislikes, small appetites, or reliance on convenience foods, it can be hard for teens to fit in good nutrition. And because teens have unique nutrition requirements, it’s important they can get a nutritional boost that meets their needs and is actually healthy.
Zeapure Smoothie Kick is not a meal replacement but with 11g protein per serve, Zeapure Smoothie Kick is a nutritional top-up that supports growth and development, at the right level for teens aged 14-18. As part of a varied and healthy diet, one glass a day provides vital nutrients for:
- Natural cognitive activity – thanks to Zinc, Folate, Iodine, Vitamin C and B vitamins
- Energy production – with the help of Iron and Thiamine
- Strong bones – from vitamin D and Calcium (a diet high in calcium enhances bone density)
- Smoothie Kick is the ideal nutritional support for teens, and is available in two delicious flavours: Berry and Vanilla

We’ve sampled both the chocolate and vanilla Zeapure Nutritional Shake Mix with our two oldest kids (4 and 6). I have s very fussy 4 year old – and o often worry that she is getting all she needs nutritionally to be healthy and energetic. So I’ve been really pleased that she has enjoyed drinking these ‘chocolate milkshakes’ and polishes them off very quickly. Both kids like the chocolate best (I tried them and actually love the vanilla). They have had them made up with water, milk, and mixed with berries and banana into a smoothie. My oldest had requested it on her cereal tomorrow. I’m really excited to have trialed this great product, Especially for my 4 year old – as I feel it helps boost the nutrients and vitamins her body needs. Thanks 🙂
Thank you for including us in this trial! It went well in our usual weekend smoothies with great feedback from my 4 year old. Easy to make and I am happy knowing that she is getting some extra nutrition to supplement the daily food intake. It’s also a great source of energy for the weekend activities such as swimming.
Vanilla – the best !
The packaging looks nice and I liked how it has the scoop inside . When I first opened it I though it smelled like flour however after I mixed it it smelled fine and tasted good. It tasted less vanillary than expected but it is still pleasing.
The one thing I would change is maybe add more vanilla flavoring and decrease the amount of sugar.
Otherwise it’s a great product and I will buy again. We tried vanilla and mixed berries, so I prefer the vanilla flavor as The mixed berries tast more artificial . Thank you anyway for this opportunity.
We’ve tried the chocolate flavour but my kids were disappointed in the lack of flavour to it and that it tasted quite powdery. We’ve bought bananas to add to the vanilla flavour as the vanilla on its own was a no-go. They love the idea as I do for a decent meal type shake.
Thanks for the opportunity to try the Zeapure Shake Mix. We received the vanilla and choclate flavours. We made them up with milk but unfortunatly my two girls 7 years and 5 years did not like this product at all and I couldn’t get them to drink more than a couple of mouthfuls. My husband also tried it and didn’t like the taste.
We received the Chocolate and Vanilla Zeapure Shake Mix. I was Happy to read it had added Omega 3 and the sugar content was pretty low for How much you use. No added sugar or sweetners was a big bonus for me. My two Princesses couldn’t wait for me to make the Chocolate one. I made it to instructions and both girls loved it. Really creamy and chocolaty was their reply. I even tried some and was pleasantly surprised it didn’t taste fake or have any after taste. Next time I added only 1.5 scoops and that seemed to please the girls more and added some banana too. I have used it with milk and then again with just water. With just water it wasn’t as creamy and harder for the girls to like. I tried the Vanilla one with half water and half milk and this was the best mix for them.. it seemed to fill the girls up better than just a hot Chocolate and with the added Vitamins and Minerals zinc, Iron and calcium I’m Happy to buy this again once it’s finished as I know it’s better, has less sugar and fills them up and fast.. will be taking it with me to Waiheke au Xmas time as a yummy morning Tea snack with added berries and banana.. love the size and my fussy Miss 7 is getting the extra Vitamin, Minerals and zinc, Magnesium that she is lacking from being Miss Fuss Pot.. highly recommend it specially for fussy eaters. Thanks for choosing me, I’m really impressed. Definitely a product that I WANT in my pantry.
Thank you for letting me trial the Zeapure nutritional shake mix for kids. I didn’t post immediately as when I made it for my 5 year old son as per the packet instructions he responded saying that it was very interesting but he didn’t like the taste of either the chocolate or the vanilla. It was then a struggle to get him to try it again. I was quite disappointed as I had really hoped that he would like the shake mix as he pretty much only eats a lot carbs and this would ensure that he would have some minerals and vitamins in his diet. I have tried in the past to give him gummy vitamins and he doesn’t like them either! However since he is a fussy eater I shouldn’t have been that surprised. I did try it myself and as there is no added sugar or sweetness the taste does border almost savoury.
In the past week I have been experimenting with adding other things to the shake mix to enhance the flavour. Long story short, this has worked well with the chocolate flavour in the end. I do have to halve the recommended amount of Zeapure shake mix to the milk and then I add a teaspoon of chocolate powder, half a banana and I must admit a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it sweeter. My son now thinks he’s getting a treat by having a chocolate and banana milkshake… yay! However, what I envisage happening over time is that after he acquires the taste of the Zeapure shake mix, I should be able to increase the amount of the shake mix that I add and decrease the amount of ice cream. Fingers crossed that works!
Zeapure shake mix is a great concept for fussy eaters and as a parent it’s great to know that my son is getting extra essential mineral and vitamins that bread and rice don’t provide. The mix does get a bit lumpy when stirred into cold milk and so a shaker or blender will make it smooth. It is easy to use though and as mentioned above it’s nice to know that you can control the sweetness yourself. I definitely recommend Zeapure shake mix and if you do have a fussy eater my tip is to slowly introduce the taste of the mix in a chocolate milkshake with a smaller quantity than the recommended 2 scoops.
The children found it very easy to make for themselves after school and they blended fresh berries or banana in as well
They enjoyed the taste
Thanks
Thank you for selecting us to trial the Zeapure Vanilla and Chocolate Shake Mix. My 5 year old was very excited to try this and really enjoyed it. He liked that he had a ‘special’ drink and Mummy was pleased that her picky eater was getting some good nutrition and enjoying it at the same time. The packaging was clear and concise to read and the product was easy to use with directions to clearly marked. This product had less sugar than the usual drink of our choice so that was a bonus. I would purchase this product and recommend to family and friends.
We trialled the shake mix with our kids aged 4, 7 and 9. We made it up with milk and tried both flavours. Chocolate came out by far the favourite. The vanilla they felt was to milky. (My kids don’t drink milk). Next time we made it with water and both flavours were enjoyed. I love that this is an easy way to get extra nutrients into my fussy kids. This product is easy to use and the great thing is you can use it plain or as part of a smoothie.
So excited to receive this free sample. Got the berry and vanilla. Unfortunately none of the children liked the taste, the 13 year old tried both and just didnt like it. The 10 year old and 8 year old didnt like it either. It was hard to mix, would perhaps be better in a wizz with fruit. I also tried both and the taste did not appeal. Apologies, love the idea of a shake to tide them over after school and give them more energy.
The 13 year old loved the taste of these. Made breakfasts so much easier. And I know she is full going to school with lots of energy.
So after my daughter has been trying the smoothie kick she is eating it with breakfast and is more energised and more focused and fuller for longer. It also tastes great too. I am very pleased with this product and would definitely buy it in the future.
Just cracked open the Zeapure Berry Smoothie kick for the teens on a scorching day.
Combined frozen mixed berries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, milk, 2 scoops of Zeapure Berry Smoothie kick and milk. A quick whirr and a zsjuuush from the blender and it not only meets their approval but they dive in for seconds as well!
Such an easy and satisfying way to get some healthy vitamins and minerals into two rapidly growing, protein- needing kids. Even some left over for Mum and a lovely thick – non-powdery, well-blended texture.
Love this product and will definitely be looking out for it in store! Cheers Kidspot for selecting us to trial Zeapure Smoothie Kick! 😉
I was very excited to receive the Smoothie Kick for my teens (13 and 14) to trial as neither of them are big lovers of vegetables so I was hoping this would be a good way to get added nutrients into them. The packaging is great as it is easy to read and has a wide lid so it is very easy to scoop out the powder.
We first tried it mixed with milk. It took quite a bit of stirring to mix it properly and even then it still had a few lumps in it so I put it through a sieve to make it smooth enough for Master 13 to try ( he does not like anything with lumps in it!). Both kids thought it was ok but didn’t get too excited about the flavour. I tried some of the berry flavour and also thought it was ok, although it does seem a little powdery in texture. It reminded me a little bit of milk biscuits we used to eat at school.
We added the vanilla to a fruit smoothie. It still had a few lumps after mixing it in the blender. Both kids preferred the taste of the smoothie before the Smoothie Kick was added. After it was added, Master 13 did not like it at all but Miss 14 said it was not too bad and would probably have it again, knowing it was giving her the added nutrients.
I will keep using the Smoothie Kick to use it up and hopefully the kids will learn to like it. I think it is a good product for teens and I would buy it again.
We tryed the smoothie kick for my 15 year old daughter. The product is well packaged with easy to follow instructions. She liked the berry flavour more then the vanilla and with milk instead of water.
My 4 and 6 year old daughters tried the chocolate and vanilla flavours. The first time we followed the instructions making it up with milk – they enjoyed the chocolate slightly more. Since then we’ve been adding it to breakfast smoothies with banana and peanut butter in place of the normal protein powder and it works just as well! We swap the vanilla and chocolate each day. So glad it’s made in New Zealand – hopefully mostly local ingredients. Also glad to see it’s gluten free as we have family who are gluten free.
We received the Shake Mix for kids, both Vanilla and Chocolate flavours. My son likes the vanilla more than the chocolate which is a surprise. So far, we tried it with milk only as a drink. We still need to try it as a smoothie. My kids were so excited to drink it that they opt for the faster way to enjoy it. I say my kids because my other teens tried it as well. Packaging-wise, its so well presented. The writings on the canister is so informative and the ingredients are all so good. My kids had the drink for breakfast and after school. Its so filling and delicious! Thank you for the trial.
We recieved the Zeapure Shake Mix for Kids and everyone loved the chocolate flavour. The vanilla was not a hit at all for anyone including myself. I’m so happy to know that my four year old loves this shake and getting valuable nutrients she needs to grow while being a fussy eater.
My five year old thinks it’s a great shake and loves it before school. Great product, I would recommend these shakes and thanks for the opportunity to trial them.
My teenage daughter enjoyed the Vanilla Smoothie Kick with Milk, Banana and Peach Yogurt. She said she could drink the smoothie with or without the added Fruits. She liked Smoothie Kick more with milk rather than just the water though. It was fast and easy to make as well which is great when she is on the go, from one sport training to another. She enjoyed the Berry Smoothie more than the Vanilla overall as it has the more Fruit Flavour which she enjoys and it was easy to top up with extra fruit to make it taste even more delicious.
We received the Zeapure Shake Mix, Vanilla and Chocolate. The kids were so excited to have their own dedicated shake mix ad were pleading to try it. We tried both flavours first with water which they both liked – it was just mixed in with a spoon and it was very soluble and tasty. They preferred the chocolate flavour overall. We also made it with milk in the blender with frozen banana to create a milkshake – this was much tastier and they enjoyed both favours. Overall they would happily drink this anytime and its good to know that it is all natural and good for them.
Thank you for the trial of Zeapure Shake Mix, Vanilla and Chocolate. I was interested to see if my 6 year old – the fussiest of three kids would like this, we have tried various vitamin supplements to help supplement her diet and she won’t eat them. She chose the Chocolate flavour, drank the whole glass and enjoyed it! It was very easy to mix, I put milk is the hand shaker with the mix and shook it up. In no time comes out looking like a milkshake, nice and frothy on top. I tried it too and it reminded me of a mild tasting cold milo with malt. Next up were my 10 year old twins – we tried the vanilla, unfortunately none of the kids liked this. They said it just tasted like weird milk. Onto the chocolate for them to try, unfortunately no luck here either. Both twins turned down the drink saying they didn’t like it. On the plus side I have a product that miss fussy 6 year old will drink, I’m very happy to have found something healthy for her to have. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for sending us the Smoothie Kick for Teens – we received the Vanilla and Splendid Berry Flavours. My team of 4 reviewers gave this product an absolute thumbs up! The panel consisted of 3 boys and 1 little girl.
Their opinion of the Vanilla smoothie is that it tasted quite a lot like a particular brand of toddler milk formula, which is a pleasantly familiar memory when they were younger and had warm milk at breakfast time. It is the flavour of vanilla that is familiar and similar.
Of the Berry-flavoured smoothie, they REALLY enjoyed this one. The colour is quite attractive and the flavour is refreshing and delicious.
Often, after dinner, my kids play outside, cycle around, jump on the trampoline and play tag with one another, and then when they come back inside, they are hungry again. This very tasty smoothie satisfies their hunger and taste buds. What a good way to fill them up with something that is nutritious, delicious and easy to prepare.
Thank you very much for this trial.
I received the berry and vanilla smoothie kick my sons aged 15 and 10 who are both fussy enjoyed these alot, though both said the berry one should have been more berry tasting. They had these mixed with milk and as a smoothie with milk, fruit and yogurt, they enjoyed both ways, my sons are active boys, and this gave them a boost after school before rushing off to do sports or play. This is a good healthy, nutritional drink, which seems to give them the boost they needed, and as my boys are both fussy but they both enjoyed this, I would purchase more for them in the future.
My girls nearly 14 and 15 trialed the vanilla & Berry Zeapure Smoothie Kick. We received these last Thursday and have been trialing them for a week.
The packaging was good, easy to get into and the top is wide enough to get the scoop out easily.
I was looking forward to the girls having something that would have enough protein and energy in it after school to keep them going for their after school activities, that they could have easily on the run.
They tried both the flavors first, just as a shake with milk and both said that they found it a bit watery taste was ok but could have been a bit more intense. They have been having them as smoothies ever since with youghurt, fruit and milk and have loved them! I guess this is the way they were intended to be drunk, I was just on the look out for something a little quicker ha ha .
We haven’t previously tried the kids on any kind of meal replacement type shake / smoothie before, but these were good.
would recommend, especially if you are worried that your kids / teens arent getting enough vitamins that they need for their growing / changing bodies. Thank you so much for the opportunity to try these products.
My two daughters so enjoyed the two flavoured shake mix! They love to choose a different flavour every day. When I tell them they can have a glass of shake mix after dinner, they even finish their dinner quicker and better than before!
My daughter and myself were fortunate to review Zeapure Smoothie Kick for Teens – vanilla and berry. Easy to make and we mixed it with milk in a shaker. Unfortunately my daughter did not enjoy the taste as much. And it was quite thick. Berry was nicer then the vanilla however it would probably be better mixed with fruits. Will continue to try and experiment with different varieties, maybe even add to some baking. Thank you very much for this opportunity.
We received two full size samples of the Zeapure nutritional shakes aimed at 4-8 years. We received the chocolate and vanilla flavours.
When they first arrived I initially checked for added sugar in the ingredients I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t contain any, then assumed there must be sweeteners but was also surprised it didn’t contain these either. For me this is a big plus. It’s a great milk based nutritional booster for kids.
We initially made up with simply milk and Zeapure powders, we used a blender to mix them well. Both my 4 and 5 year olds boys gulped it down and slurped the bottom of there glasses. A big hit!! We’ve experimented making up with added fruit in smoothies, yum!! We’ve also tried with just water and it tastes great.
My oldest son is down with chicken pox and not eating much so the nutritional boost from having the Zeapure mix in a smoothie is great.
I would recommend these 100% they mix up great and taste great and my boys are loving them.
Our girls are loving this milk drink. We mix it up and they have it with their breakfast, or as part of their afternoon tea. They love the chocolate flavour most, though enjoy the vanilla also. We have found that if we mix it up following the instructions of two scoops of powder to the cup of milk that the girls say it is too strong. So we have cut back to one scoop per glass of milk and they love it. Everyday they are asking for it, and it helps keep them fuller for longer. A great product, and well loved in this household.
So after few days of trying this amazing product I am so happy with it. My fussy toddler loves it and asks for more (rare in his case). Vanilla is definitely his favorite especially mixed with bananas. I noticed he is much more alert and focused after drinking his shake mix so I am super stoked. Will definitely buy it for him on regular basis. But I need to hide it from my husband because he loves it as well)) My fault knowing how good it is I shouldn’t give him to try. Thanks for this great opportunity.
