Fun way to eat your five a day

With the recent news hitting the press that supplements are a waste of money (which I totally disagree with). One of the arguments against supplements was that we should be getting our nutritional needs from our diet, but how do we make sure that we are really getting the right nutrition from the right food and getting our five a day?

I do agree that there are good and bad supplements on the market, but isn’t that the same as the food industry? We pick up food, read the labels and unwittingly purchase food that we think is good for us, only to find that the labels are misleading. It annoys me that a carton of juice can say “100% natural’ when actually it’s made from fruit concentrate and is pure sugar! It has been proved that a fruit smoothie can contain more grams of sugar than a chocolate bar! Even the healthy fruit snacks can lead us into thinking that we are giving our children a healthy dose of vitamins but read the sugar content and it’s plain to see why your little ones might be bouncing off the walls!

Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in whole food powders, using powders from wheatgrass and spiralina to baobao and maca. I’ve been using these whole food powders for a while and find them a great way to get good nutrition into my families diet.

There are so many different processes for creating these powders, from freeze drying and dehydrating to a new technology guaranteeing that nutritional content and enzymes remain intact.

The last few months I have been on a mission to find a good source of wholefood powders with good nutritional content, good colour and good taste. One such product was so amazing that we started to work on bringing it to the UK market. It has had it’s challenges, we have shipped in samples, tasted and tested but we were so inspired that we decided to launch a new business to share these amazing powders. At last there is a healthy and fun way to enjoy your five a day.

The pioneering technology is so gentle all the nutrients and taste of the fruit and vegetables remains intact. This guarantees the flavour and intensity of the powders. We never add any additional ingredients or synthetic colourings so you can enjoy a 100% natural product.

In studies at Washington State University our strawberry powder was shown to retain the same vitamin C content as its original fruit.

As this is such a dynamic product there are so many uses and we are sure you will invent a few of your own once you try these powders!
