Smoothies began for me through a health journey of my own. In my 20’s I was struck with digestive complications.
Fast forward a few years to the crazy journey of pregnancy. With an almost foreign body, and another little person to grow, I realized my nutritional requirements were again changing. And then came the breastfeeding when I learnt the meaning of a bottomless pit!
This inspired me to create a range of smoothie blends to provide nutrients for our different life stages, or as I have described it, “Situational Smoothies“. I love researching and trying different combinations of healthy foods that have nurtured me, and I hope to share this love with others.
Life gets busy and chaotic, and we understand that often the first thing to be compromised is a healthy diet. Rather than spending money on fruit and vegetables just to see them rot in the fridge, or taking already precious time to source, wash, peel and chop ingredients, we want to provide you with a quick, easy and affordable solution. Our mission is to bring nutritionally balanced (and of course delicious) smoothies to consumers without any preparation required.
The benefits:
• Reduce Time
No more sourcing, washing, peeling and chopping ingredients
• Reduce Expense
We buy our ingredients in wholesale quantities and pass the savings down to our customers
• Minimise Wastage
One bunch of kale for one smoothie? (we’ve all been there). Making smoothies at home creates a lot of wastage and leaves food rotting in your fridge. Problem solved with our ready-to-go blends!
• Maximise Nutrition and flavour
We’ve spent hours blending up different mixes to ensure we have the right combination of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and roots that are loaded with vitamins and minerals and taste DELICIOUS
The facts about palm oil
• This is Rocky – an orphan Orang-utan. His parents were among many who were killed in the rainforest when it was destroyed to plant oil palm plantations.
• I met this little guy when I was part of a project in Borneo, and seeing his emotional trauma really pulled on my heart strings. I vowed to never support the use of palm oil and to do what I could to bring his plight and those of so many other animals to light. The untold story that I also discovered is that the local tribes suffer in much the same way, losing their homes and access to the forest foods and other resources they rely on for survival.
• Palm oil is found in approximately half of consumer products, ranging from food to cosmetics to cleaning substances, and only the small minority of people have been exposed to the problems caused.
• Through making conscious decisions in our daily purchases and raising awareness among others, we can do our part in decreasing the demand for this destructive product.
