Super duper

There’s no official term for the word superfruits. But the most well-known definition of a superfruit relates to the fruit and vegetable section in the supermarket. In this case the term superfruit describes a food that is particularly rich in phytochemicals. We looked at fruits and vegetables that were particularly high in a specific nutrients and from this created special drinks with that little something extra.

You may ask if calling certain fruits and vegetables a superfruit a good thing as it could just make and you eat only one type of fruit or veg. Eating a varied healthy balanced diet is the most important thing and you should try lots of different fruits and vegetables to get a variety of nutrients. Some people call this the rainbow diet because every colour brings with it specific nutrients and it's good to get plenty on board. There may be times though when you want something that has gives you extra nourishment in a very natural way. So we made our Superfruits range which are special smoothies with a little extra goodness.

We have 4 drinks in this range each with a different benefit – we have a detox smoothie, a vitamin C smoothie , fruit and vegetable smoothie and a energy smoothie.

pomegranates, blueberries & acai

Our detox smoothie provide a 3680 umol of anti-oxidant per drink and we had to use special fruits to provide the goodness.

This smoothie is made with a special little berry called the acai. Found in the rainforests of Brazil it has the most amazing natural anti oxidant properties.Combined with pomegrantes and blueberry it’s a nutritional power house. It contains a high amount of antioxidants called anthocyanins.

cranberries, yumberries & blackcurrants

This vitamin C recipe is made with cranberries, yumberries and blackcurrants which are all good sources of that important stuff called vitamin C, which helps protect you against scurvy and the like.
The result is a recipe that gives you 5 times your RDA of vitamin C. And if your body doesn't need quite that amount it will pee it out.

guavas, mangoes & gogi berries

We chose the guava fruit which has one of the highest fibre contents and blended it with another high fibre fruit mango and goji berries. The result is our lowest glycaemic index (GI) smoothie. The fibre will slow down the release of glucose into the body and the result is a drink that will keep you going and going.
