We all love the ease of mixing together a seriously nutrition-targeted smoothie in our blenders. While it’s quick and easy to whiz together the ingredients, it’s a little bit more challenging to put together just the right flavour combinations and blend of ingredients, that target our individual nutritional needs.
Enter Love Your Blender…
WHY ‘LOVE YOUR BLENDER’? ![8550]()
Love Your Blender (LYB), is a vibrant and exciting new brand of smoothies. Their new, and very clever sachets contain mixes of superfoods, nuts and seeds (and more) for taste and balanced nutrition. Which is a great way to know what you’re gaining from each tasty slurp. Plus:
- each easy to mix sachet comes with its own recipes.
- the ingredients are whole where possible to protect flavour and nutrition
- they’re a source of high fibre and plant protein
- they’re raw and vegan too
- and their organic certification is in progress
HOW ‘LOVE YOUR BLENDER’ WORKS
It’s pretty simple…. one sachet (+ recipe) = many possibilities.
Choose for yourself where you want to take your smoothie sachet. By adding either fruit/veg, milks, dried fruits or protein powder combinations, you get the smoothie you want; fresh, creamy, sweeter, or meal (in a smoothie).
