ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel
ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel is a tasty, nutritionally complete elemental shake, with added protein. It is formulated from the highest quality ingredients for rapid absorption and minimal triggering of sensitive digestive systems.
How is it different to the other flavours?
All flavours of ElementGold Plus+ share the same base nutrition. The different flavours vary in terms of protein, added sweetener and the flavourings. See the ElementGold Plus+ Overview Page for a comparison.
Rice Protein Isolate
Our bodies need more protein than we can provide using only free-form amino acids, notably for muscle maintainence, so ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel has added protein that was isolated from brown rice.
Unsweetened
Some gastrointestinal conditions mean avoiding sugars is ideal. ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel has no added sweetener to allow something suitable to be added. Most people will want to add a suitable sweetener, such as stevia, for taste reasons. If you are not sure about what sweeteners are suitable for your situation, check with a relevant healthcare professional.

A Serve of ElementGold Plus+
A standard serve of ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel is made by mixing, shaking or blending (on low speed) 100 g of powder with 250 mL of cold water. Fats are omitted for tolerance reasons but your healthcare professional may ask you to add a fat source, such as flax seed oil.

Adding milk, fruit, honey or others foods to ElementGold may enhance the taste but it will no longer be considered an elemental food. Consume each shake immediately or cover and refridgerate, discarding unused portions after 4 hours.
How Many Serves?
A standard serve of ElementGold Plus+ Vegan Unsweetened Caramel provides 1,610 KJ (385 kcal) of balanced nutrition. Adding 15 mL of flax seed oil brings a serve up to 2,150 KJ.
The amount of serves required is based on energy of the food ElementGold Plus+ is replacing. As an example, replacing 6,000 KJ of regular food would require 4 standard serves (6,440 KJ).
