Why I Had to Create

a low FODMAP shake

By: Dr. Angela Kwong, GP with a special interest in

weight management and gut health

“Every other shake made my patients feel worse. So I made one that didn’t.”

As a Doctor, I kept seeing the same story: patients trying to do the right thing, eating “healthy,” but still dealing with bloating, discomfort and unpredictable digestion.

Most of them were following a low FODMAP plan - but they were over it! Exhausted, feeling overly restricted, and running on empty.

And when they turned to shakes for convenience, it only made everything worse. Hidden fillers, too much milk powder, polyol sweeteners … it was bloating, gas, and pain all over again.

So I created Enlighten Me: a clean, balanced low FODMAP certified shake that fills the nutritional gaps - without setting your gut on fire.

Most meal replacements are a disaster for IBS or sensitive tummies

Traditional shakes focus on filling you up with a sweet creamy shake. So, you'll find high FODMAP ingredients (like milk powder or erythritol), which can trigger bloating, gas, constipation or loose motions. Add stress or fatigue and it’s worse.

That’s why Enlighten Me is tested and certified by FODMAP Friendly. It’s independently verified to be gentle on digestion and safe for a sensitive gut - while still packing real nutrition.

We included trace broccoli + inulin for a reason: your gut health.

Fodmap safe. Lab tested. Gut-supportive.

Worried about inulin or broccoli on the label? You’re not alone — and we get it.
But here’s what matters:

💚 We use only trace amounts — lab-tested and certified Low FODMAP
💚 We use premium sourced inulin for gentle prebiotic support and broccoli for wholefood greens
💚 And they’re included for purpose — to nourish your gut, not to bulk the formula

We’ve seen no flares, no bloating, no “shake regret” - just smoother digestion and better results.

Because when your gut tolerates it well, your body can actually absorb the benefits.

Safe. Functional. Low FODMAP certified.

Filling the Gaps, Fueling Your Day

Low FODMAP diets can be heavily restrictive, especially during elimination phases. This can make it hard to hit nutrient targets without constant planning.

Enlighten Me is your safeguard:

  • Over 32g protein per serve for satiety
  • Includes a balanced blend of vitamins, minerals and daily greens
  • Gut friendly, with digestive enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics
  • Clean, with no artificial sweeteners and gluten-free.

Designed for Digestion

This isn’t just a basic protein shake. It’s built for how your body actually works.

Each serve includes a full spectrum of digestive enzymes — amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase and lactase — to help break down nutrients and make absorption easier.

✔️ Less bloating, more comfort
✔️ Better energy and nutrient uptake
✔️ Real support for your gut — not stress on it

Because when your body absorbs what it needs, it gets more from every sip.


This is how you nourish now and support your future gut health.

Who our Shakes are for

This was made for you if:

  • You're following a low FODMAP diet or have IBS
  • You want simple nutrition without the aftermath
  • You've tried traditional shakes before and been burned
  • You're tired of guessing what's 'safe'

I didn’t want to make another trendy shake. I needed something I could back - for my patients, and for myself.

So I built it.

Doctor-designed. Not mass-produced. FODMAP safe.

We only produce in small batches. Once it’s gone, it’s gone - and there may be a wait for the next run.

FAQ

Can I use these shakes alongside my weight management injectables?

Yes — in fact, that’s exactly who I originally created these shakes for.

When you're taking these medications, your appetite drops - often dramatically. But just because you're eating less doesn't mean your body needs less. It's still essential to get enough protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals to maintain energy, muscle mass and overall health.

That's where a balanced meal replacement comes in. Enlighten Me is designed to fill those gaps — without adding anything you don’t need. Unlike many other shakes, ours is low in carbohydrates, which is important because high-carb shakes can work against the effects of GLP-1 medications.

It’s gut-friendly, nutrient-rich, low-carb and specifically formulated for people just like you.

How are these shakes different from others?

Most shakes are built for profit, not people. They're loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners and low-quality proteins that are hard to digest — especially for anyone with gut issues or taking weight management medications.

Enlighten Me is different by design.

It’s formulated by a GP, made in Australia in small batches, and designed with clinical integrity, not marketing spin.

We use only ingredients that are good for your body:

  • FODMAP Friendly certified
  • Free from maltodextrin and sugar alcohols
  • Includes prebiotics, probiotics and daily greens
  • Made with high quality whey protein isolate and concentrate
  • Low in carbs and lactose - gentle on the gut
  • Gluten-free

We're not here to be the sweetest or creamiest shake.

We're here to be the cleanest and most nourishing - and the one that actually helps you feel better - with gut support and sustainable weight management at it's core.

Can I take this if I'm not on medication?

Yes! Many people use Enlighten Me as part of general weight management, to improve energy, support gut health, or simply get more protein in.

Is it safe for people with IBS or gut sensitivities?

Yes. It’s certified FODMAP Friendly, gluten-free, and formulated with low-lactose whey and added digestive enzymes.

We’ve had great feedback from IBS sufferers who finally found a shake that works for them.

What if I’m picky with flavours — will I like it?

Our shakes are intentionally light in flavour — not sickly sweet, not fake, and definitely not chalky. Most people love them as-is, but we designed them to also be the perfect base.

You can blend in:

  • Berries
  • Coffee or green tea
  • Milo
  • Peanut butter
  • Even spice it up with cinnamon or ginger

If you're someone who likes variety or wants to customise your shakes, you're in good company.

That’s also why we created the Starter Bundle — it includes 7 serves of Chocolate + 7 serves of Vanilla, so you can find what works best for you.

And if you want to get creative, head to our recipes section where you’ll find ways to turn the shake into chia pudding, bliss balls, brownies and more.

How do I use the Starter Bundle?

You can replace:

  • 2 meals a day (e.g. Breakfast and Lunch)
  • Or 1 meal and 2 snacks

The bundle includes my 7-Day Meal Plan so you can follow a proven structure from day one.

Recommended by GPs. Loved by those who have tried everything.

LOVING my Enlighten Me tasting this morning!!

Andrew Morello

Dr. Angela Kwong is a GP who specialises in obesity and she has created a protein powder that is streets ahead of any protein powder that I've ever seen. I've put so many people onto these shakes because they are so much better than anyone else!

Dr. Ginni Mansberg, GP

Enlighten Me Shakes have been a game-changer for my weight loss journey. They help me stay within my calorie deficit while meeting my protein and nutrition goals effortlessly. The shakes taste fantastic on their own and are incredibly versatile - I love layering them with fruit or peanut butter for a delicious twist.

Elise

Dr. Angela Kwong is a weight loss doctor who found that her patients were struggling, and she couldn't find a meal replacement that she was happy with. One that was low enough in carbohydrate, that didn't have bazillions of fillers, that wasn't full of maltodextrin or sucralose, so she formulated her own. If you are going to choose a meal replacement shake, this one is pretty good!

As a bus driver, I love the convenience of having something quick healthy and balanced that I can mix on the go. My favourite flavour is the chocolate!

Benny

I'm sharing with you what I'm having for lunch. I've just grabbed an Enlighten Me, in chocolate flavour - it is very yummy and it fills me up. It's filling and has clean ingredients!

Dr. Avi Charlton, GP

I've tried and tested many shakes on the market and I can confidently say that the Enlighten Me Shakes stand out. It's fuelling my body without any hidden nasties, and I love that it's doctor-designed. I look forward to my shake every day.

Mmm! That's nice. Not too sweet. I like it!

Best shake to keep me full and know im hitting my nutritional goals

Tastes great, not sweet at all. Great to make into a smoothie with banana and almond milk. Kept me feeling full too!
Amazing, I love it.

Use milk, not water.

So far, so good, but with a few comments. I suffer from reflux or Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease and my first shake was a reminder of how painful indigestion/reflux can be. However, I switched to Heart Active milk instead of water, sat up very straight and sipped slowly. Amazing difference!! No problems since. Unlike other shakes, there is no nasty after taste.

This is an amazing tip for our customers with reflux or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD / GERD) - thank you so much!!!
We appreciate you giving the recommendation of the Heart Active milk which is a 99% fat free milk.

There are a few reasons why this conbination works together beautifully.
(1) The milk proteins and milk fats create a buffering effect which help to neutralise the stomach acid (which doesn't happen with water). This reduces irritation of the oesophagus after meals.
(2) The milk proteins and milk fats also delay gastric emptying which causes less splashback, especially if you can drink slowly and avoid lying down afterwards.
(3) Shakes made with milk are thicker than those with water - these are less likely to regurgitate back up the oesophagus which can help with symptoms with reflux.

We thank you so much and will add this tip to the FAQ section for anyone who has reflux.
Glad to hear that you also had no nasty after taste too ☺️

I was so excited to receive the Meal Replacement shakes

I was so excited to receive the Meal Replacement shakes, being a busy Mum of 3 boys it's hard to fit in 3 meals a day whilst playing Mum Taxi. The shakes are easy to make and are so tasty, no need to skip a meal and go hungry! Lots of nutrition and I feel great!

Great to hear the shakes are making life easier while you're on the go with the boys! Easy, tasty, and packed with nutrition – sounds like a win all round!

Great protein

Great tasting, mixes perfectly by itself or in a smoothie!
No upset tummy and keeps you full!

Thank you Edwina for your lovely review! We love it by itself and in smoothies too - yum. Glad to hear that it's been gentle on the tummy and keeps you full. Have a wonderful day

Good flavour, a little gritty

Flavour is fine, does have a bit of a sweetener taste to it. The mix seems a little gritty, and I noticed some lumps of powder in the bag.

Thank you Stephen for your review! We have tried to call you to explain the gritty texture and lumps of powder that some customers may notice. Our shakes do not have an anti-caking agent added (this can sometimes be labelled as agent 551 or silica on the ingredients list). Whilst adding this ingredient does offer a more smooth appearance inside the bag, we refrained from adding this as we only wanted to offer the natural ingredients, blended together. We are glad to see that you have come back for a bigger bundle order and thank you for your ongoing support of our quality shakes.
