flavour. The mouth-watering
tingle will set your taste buds alight. It's great to liven up your
favourite smoothies and and Zing to your cocktails.

Graviola: Commonly mixed with milk into a smoothie, the aromatic
pulp of graviola makes a delicious and nutritive thick white drink. Recent studies have shown that apart from containing important nutrients for immune support and metabolic activity (including Vitamin B complex and C, calcium and phosphorous), graviola also contains alkaloids that exhibit antidepressive effects

Cashew Fruit: In fact, the cashew apple is not a true fruit, but the swollen stalk
to which the cashew nut is attached.
Cashew apples are vitamin-C rich and in Brazil they are eaten fresh or juiced.
The apple is often bright red, orange, or yellow in colour, and has a spongy,
fibrous and very juicy yellow pulp from which a refreshing sweet juice is made.
In addition to being delicious, the cashew apple is a rich source of vitamins,
minerals, and other essential nutrients. It has up to five times more vitamin C
than oranges and contains high amounts of mineral salts

Guarana syrup;
Our favourite sweetener. This is not a Frozen pulp like the
others, but a sweet syrup. It's got a caffeine like kick to it,
which gives you a boost for hours. It is great for adding to
smoothies for an extra Zing! |
