Top 5 Smoothie (and juice!) Boosters

The Mail has run an article on the healthiest smoothies and juices you can make. They suggest lingonberrys (familiar to anyone who frequents the supermarket section of IKEA), acerola and chokeberries. We love a good smoothie here at Discount Vitamins and Herbs, but we can think of several other 'boosters' to really push your smoothie making to the next level.

1 Creative Nature New Zealand Barley Grass Powder

As they say themselves, grown in the lush pastures of New Zealand, the fresh grass is harvested whilst still moist with morning dew to bring you natures finest medicine. Probably the most complete food on earth. Strong claims, but there's no denying the quality of this barley grass, rich in chlorophyll which is regarded highly for it's supposed detoxifying properties.


2 Lamberts Imunostrength
This was a huge success this winter with our customers. Offering a high concentration of Vitamin C and antioxidants thanks to its blend of elderberry, rosehip and blackcurrant. It comes out a Delicious rich ribena colour that will turn any smoothie a reassuring immune strengthening purple.

3 Swiss Herbal Remedies Eicosanoil

We generally don't go a day without picking up on another clinical trial flaunting the benefits of Omega 3 and essential fatty acids. This really isn't a here today gone tomorrow fad, it's common sense nutrition that everyone should be enjoying. One of our personal favourites is hemp seed oil as it contains the perfect balance of Omega 3, 6 and 9 in a naturally occurring seed.

4 The Healthy Bowels Company Lepicol

As long as you are on this healthy blending and juicing regime it may be time to give some care and attention to one of the most important aspects of your health. Lepicol contains three ingredients: psyllium husk, a water soluble fibre that is gentle yet effective, Probiotic cultures and FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) to boost a sluggish digestion and ease bloating.

5 Optima Pomegranate

At one time this superfood was very expensive to purchase as demand outstripped supply in under a month. Now it's more shy of the tabloid pages and as such has come down to far more realistic prices that enables you to enjoy this every day. Made famous for its cardiovascular benefits in recent years, maybe now is the time to be enjoying this nutritious and delicious juice every day.
