Why Blend?

There are so many reasons to include smoothies in your world that it would be impossible to list them all. Here are some of the top reasons to become a smoothie lover: 

• Easy to digest – your tummy will thank you. The breaking down of food begins in your mouth with the stomach next in line in the breaking-food-down regime. When you consume food that is already broken down it takes a massive load off your digestive system and allows for quicker uptake.
• They taste sooo good. Sometimes it’s like having a dessert when you’re actually having something that is super healthy.
• Power food. A smoothie is the perfect place to introduce ‘power foods’ to enhance your health. See our nutrition page to find out what goodness goes into the Blends.
• Quick and easy to prepare. Once you open your raw ingredient Blend, just add fruit and water, then blend. You can go from tummy rumbling, post training, didn’t have time to eat hunger, to complete satisfaction in less than two minutes.
• Post-training refuel.  When you’ve done a workout, not only are you famished, but so are your cells. The ideal balance of proteins, fat and carbs (all essential) are delivered to maximise your training recovery.
• An ideal ‘on the go’ meal. If you don’t have time to sit down now and enjoy your smoothie, pop it in a flask and take it with you. Spot the person in the car desperately tipping their flask up to get the last bits out.
• Some tummies can’t handle ‘heavy food’ or a proper meal in the morning, so this is a great way to start up your metabolism and get the engine fuelled up for the day.
• What an awesome way to get greens into your diet and disguise them so you don’t even know they’re there! This is a top tip for parents trying to get green into their kid’s food landscape or for those who aren’t fans of the garden goodies. Look out for the Blend green smoothie addition in the near future.
