Quench My Thirst - Health Benefits

Nature's cupboard is being rediscovered for all its good things.

In this nutritional info section we tell you a little about the health benefits the ingredients in our juices and smoothies will bring you. Why is the 'Zing Zen' a great detoxifying juice? What it is in the 'Bright Eyes' smoothie that gives you that fresh look? Scroll down to the table below to find out more.

From Witchcraft to Modern Magic

What was discarded as old wives' tales and ancient humbug witchcraft, we now increasingly appreciate as fresh produce working its very real magic - and nutritional scientists are regularly finding empirical proof of what our great-grandmothers already knew to be true.

Body Armour

We are only beginning to rediscover what fresh produce can do for specific ailments. We all know we have to get plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to stay healthy and help our bodies protect themselves against pollution, stress, sun radiation and other hazards of modern life. Our drinks will help you achieve that healthy balance of fresh produce in your diet.

A Range of Goodness

The combinations of fruit and vegetables that we select for our drinks are specifically chosen to maximise the benefits for your body and mind. While we cannot claim that our juices and smoothies will cure you of specific illnesses, we can tell you what ingredients to look out for if you are tired, stressed, having a bad hair day or coming down with a cold - please see the table below.

They do fly away you know!

The sooner you get those vitamins in you, the better. Our drinks are bottled as soon as they come out of the juicer to minimise the number of nutrients that can oxidise. We deliver your drink within hours of juicing or blending the fruit and veg to ensure you receive the highest yield of vitamins and nutrients. So to get the most out of all that goodness your juice or smoothie should ideally be drunk that same day.
