5 Questions with Nick's Smoothies

Smoothies are now the "rage".  When did you first taste one

We sell natural skin care using traditional ingredients from Japan and Asia, so we wanted to sell healthy smoothies with a bit of "Japanese" flavour.

Because we had not tasted a smoothie with the Japanese twist, we researched recipes, tested many many MANY times and from that created our own!

What led you to creating them and selling them within a "market" environment

We believe in "Health and Beauty, Inside and Out" our smoothies are based on soymilk, A2 milk (ie. pure milk) with banana and pure honey.

You can choose from 3 flavours: organic green tea, organic azuki beans and mixed berries.

It is incredibly important to eat healthy foods so as to maintain a healthy body and beautiful skin!

What are some of the health benefits and why should we be drinking these smoothies more often

There are pros and cons in all soy based products.  If we have "pure" soy based products (such as tofu and soy milk) without any additives and used in moderation it is incredibly beneficial to your health.

Slows aging, assists in alleviating symptoms of menopause, helps the body to burn fat, balances the stomach acids etc.

Azuki benas are an excellent source of soluble fibre (which helps keeps our cholesterol levels at a healthy level), contain folates, potassium and magnesium which are all contributors to maintaining a healthy heart.

Green tea powder (macha) is a powerful antioxidant.  it helps boost metabolism an burn calories, detoxifies the body effectively and helpt to naturally lower & balance cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

For the winter months we don't put any ice in it so it's ready to drink EVERY WEEKEND AT MARKET!!

How important is the "organic" way of life for you

We adopted the natural organic way of life 5 to 6 years ago and since that time we have never caught a cold or been sick.

Recently we were walking down the aisles of a supermarket to see if there was anything interesting to buy...sadly for them (the supermarket) there wasn't much choice.  Fortunately for us at market there is!

For anyone who has yet to try them, what 5 words would you use to encourage/dare them to give it a go

Suprisingly yummy but healthy Smoothies!

For those of you who may have missed the live broadcast from 2RRR last weekend, Ash gave the smoothie a go and from what we could hear over the airwaves he actually quite liked it!
