Cinema Smoothies, a different way to enjoy the cinema

Cinema Smoothies

If you’re the kind of person who orders popcorn and a fizzy drink every time you go to the cinema, you might be a little tired of always having the same menu and the same sugary drinks. To enjoy your film just as much but with a healthier option, we suggest a smoothie.

Maybe you haven’t seen this option in any cinema you’ve been to before and you may think that it’s only possible if you bring it from home. Well, you’re wrong. If you’re in Dubai, there are cinemas where you can watch a film with one of our tasty smoothies.

Reel Cinemas

Reel Cinemas has up to six locations in Dubai where you can sample a wide variety of snacks and menus while enjoying the latest releases. Sit back and relax in your spacious chair with a built-in table for your menu to go on, with one of our delicious smoothies.

There is a combination for each type of film or for each mood. A “Green Machine” is perfect for an action film, full of energy and vitality just like this smoothie. If you’re more of a romantic, you must try a “Raspberry Love” or “Caribbean Kiss” with your film.

To relax in your large chair at Reel Cinemas and to take you to distant worlds with an exotic touch, there’s nothing better than our “Tropi Colada” or “Mango Paradise”. And for the more adventurous the “Acai Kick” will transport you to science fiction planets with its unique taste.

If, as well as enjoying a healthy drink, you’re looking for a meal that goes perfectly with your smoothie at Reel Cinemas, you’ll also find many options, from fresh salads, to nachos, falafel and jalapeños.

In these screens equipped with the latest technology and amenities, you’re not just going to see a movie; you’re going to have a real experience. Reel cinemas have hundreds of screens. This is the largest and most luxurious cineplex in the world where you also have access to an infinite number of dining options. If you like film and food, then your best option is a cinema menu with a refreshing smoothie, so that you leave feeling full of energy and with a big smile on your face. Tempted to try this film suggestion?

Introducing our new Shakes!

Here at Life Smoothies we are delighted to announce a new product that you will love and that is joining our family: our new Shakes! They are healthy, full of flavour and, of course, delicious.

Our Shakes are pre-measured and flavoured with real ingredients, just like our smoothies. They come in 150 g sachets of frozen fruit and ingredients using the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) system to freeze the fruit within the first 24 hours. This way, we can enjoy seasonal fruit all year round without losing their vitamins, antioxidants or minerals and without having to add preservatives, colourings or added sugar. It retains all the flavour, nutrients and benefits of fresh fruit.

Let’s introduce you to each of them, meet our new and delicious Shakes!

Cherry & Chocolate

Do you love the sweet bitterness of dark chocolate? Then you will love this Shake for sure, because it has that characteristic and delicious flavour, but also that little bit of sweetness with the cherry. This fruit goes perfectly with chocolate and is widely used in desserts like cakes, pies, jams, sorbets… and in our Shake! They are also well-liked by adults, and especially by children, so you will love it no matter your age.

Our Cherry & Chocolate is a chocolate turned milkshake, so it will be a real pleasure for your senses and is a must-try… we highly recommend it!

Banana & Salted Caramel

This delicious Shake is extra tempting because it combines the sweetness and nutritional properties of banana with the powerful flavour of caramel. You have to try this special and delicious mix!

Depending on its ripeness, the banana can taste more or less sweet. We pick it at just the right moment, so we get the best balance of flavour. The contrast of this Shake is found in the salted caramel. There are many recipes that use this type of sweet and savoury combinations, for example, cheese with honey or balsamic vinegar. It makes this Shake taste very special, sophisticated and delicious; it is a real treat!

Strawberry & White Chocolate

Have you tried combining strawberry with delicious white chocolate? If you haven’t yet, we’ll make it for you. If you love both ingredients, you must try our Shake.

That’s why the strawberry flavour could not be amiss. It is a fruit that is seen as a natural sweet and we think it is loved by everyone. It also adds a colour that catches your attention, especially the eye. This fruit combines the acidic to the very characteristic sweet, and if you include its scent, they make this Shake a pleasure for all five senses.

Vanilla

We could not leave out this special flavour. Both for its smell and taste, vanilla is a widely used ingredient in baking. And due to its aroma, it is also used in perfumes, candles and home air fresheners. It is a very versatile ingredient that you will love to try in this Shake.

As you can see, we have created some irresistible flavours for our new product. We hope you can try them soon and let us know which one becomes your favourite. We can’t wait!

5 Reasons to try our new Shakes!

Life Smoothies’ new Shakes are this year’s next big thing. They have four different flavours and are suited to all tastes and palates. Whether you like more or less sweet flavours, once you’ve tried them all, there’s sure to be one that will become your favourite. If you’ve already tried them, we’d love to hear your experience – leave us a comment telling us what you think!

If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy them yet, here are 5 reasons why you should try our Shakes, take note!

Always healthy

Both the fruit in our smoothies and the fruit in our Shakes retain all their nutritional properties. This is thanks to shock freezing, where once the ripe fruit has been picked, we use IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) without pasteurisation to ensure it is packed full of flavour and nutrients. A super effective way of keeping the fruit in perfect condition.

These are the fruits hidden in our Shakes:

Cherries: In season in spring and summer, are high in vitamins and potassium and help against ageing.
Banana: Great source of fibre that helps our digestive system.
Strawberries: Improve our defences this winter and are detoxifying and diuretic.

Shakes are another alternative to continue enjoying your favourite fruit all year round and alternate them with our smoothies. Aren’t they great?

They are packed full of flavour

When you are taking care of yourself, and enjoying doing so, it’s an amazing feeling. That’s why you’ll love drinking our Shakes, without feeling guilty.

Our Cherry & Chocolate has all the flavour of this fun fruit, to which we also add the flavour of chocolate. A real treat in the form of a Shake, you’ll feel like you’re enjoying a delicious dessert.

Vanilla lovers are in luck, because you’ve now found your favourite Shake, our Vanilla Mix. As well as its flavour, it will win you over with its great aroma.

Like salted caramel? Our Banana & Salted Caramel is one of the most unique because it mixes very intense flavours and is full of contrasts. You must try it!

And finally, our Strawberry & White Chocolate. It is a very unique taste that appeals to people of all ages.

By now we must have convinced you, but read on and we’ve got even more reasons 😉

The sweet treat of the daymilk

There are times when our body asks for certain flavours, we want to enjoy sweeter foods more than savoury ones and vice versa. That’s why our Shakes can be that delicious, sweet treat to indulge in, while still taking care of yourself.

At any time of the day

They are suitable for any time of the day because their flavours are delicious. For example, some people prefer to eat fruit and sweeter foods such as pastries for breakfast. It is best to do this only every now and again, because they do not contain a lot of nutrients. So, if you want to start your day full of energy, it’s best to try one of our Shakes with your usual piece of fruit and a good cup of coffee.

It can also be a perfect dessert after meals. But you’ll definitely love to try them as an afternoon snack. This is perhaps the time of day when we indulge the most, either because we are just finishing a long day at work or because we have been to the gym. Whatever the time, they are the perfect accompaniment throughout the day.

Wherever you choose

Just like our smoothies, our Shakes are made to be enjoyed wherever you prefer. You can find them at any of our distributors. Visit your nearest one!

The five perfect toppings for your smoothies this autumn

With the arrival of autumn and the cold weather, we must keep up with our self-care, but that doesn’t have to mean giving up smoothies or shakes. Just the opposite in fact, it is one of the best ways to eat fruit and vegetables, providing us with the energy we need to study or work.

At Life Smoothies we have a wide variety of flavours in our smoothies and a new range of milkshakes that go perfectly with many different toppings. For example, this autumn we are all about seeds, so in this post we want to tell you about the most popular. They have a high nutritional value, and we will also tell you how they differ from each other and which product from our catalogue they go with best, so that you can enjoy Life Smoothies with the right, totally natural topping.

Chia seeds

These grains provide large amounts of potassium, protein, iron, antioxidants and are an important source of fibre, so they are considered a superfood. Chia seeds are recommended to strengthen bones, muscles and joints and help the body to function properly.

They are perfect for our sweeter smoothies and shakes, but also go well with savoury flavours. They are the perfect accompaniment to our Açai Kick, Green Machine or Raspberry Love.

Pumpkin seeds

Even the seeds of a food such as pumpkin can be used. Once dried and crushed, they can be added to cereals, yoghurts, fruit juices or smoothies. They are best known for their high content of minerals such as iron and magnesium, proteins and antioxidants such as vitamin E.

Nutritionists recommend them for people who want to increase their muscle mass or, on the contrary, lose weight, as they are more filling. They also reduce fatigue, stress and have anti-inflammatory properties. What smoothie would you pair these seeds with? We know: it would be the perfect match for our Caribbean Kiss.

Flax seeds

Flax is a plant with great nutritional properties from which we can use its seeds, that can be eaten whole or ground. Like pumpkin seeds, they are also filling, which makes them ideal for weight loss. They help prevent hair loss and are recommended for skin diseases such as psoriasis. Flax goes well with fruits such as coconut or in green juices, which is why we recommend using these seeds as a topping for our Tropi Colada or Green Machine smoothies.

Sesame seeds

Sesame seeds have left behind their supporting role on industrial hamburger buns and are now seen as a complete food with high doses of vitamin E, B, calcium, as well as their high amount of plant-based protein. Eating sesame seeds boosts memory and increases the ability to concentrate, making it a highly recommended food for students. Apples and bananas are sesame’s best friends. Combine sesame seeds with our Strawberry Split, Tropi Colada or Raspberry Love and enjoy your smoothie!

Poppy seeds

From the inside of the flowers, poppy seeds are an increasingly popular ingredient in smoothies. Aware of their rising popularity, we are happy to support this rise due to their high iron and calcium content. They are also a great source of vitamin A, helping to protect and improve skin in diseases such as psoriasis, atopy and rosacea. It is also highly recommended to include these seeds in diets for athletes or vegetarian or vegan diets: What could be better than adding them to our Green Machine smoothie?

Enjoy our chocolate shakes this Christmas

Now that Christmas is upon us, at Life Smoothies we can’t think of a better way to sweeten up your plans than our new chocolate and fruit shakes. And you, do you prefer dark or white chocolate? If you are a chocolate lover, keep reading because this post is dedicated to you.

We can make chocolate a healthy “guilty pleasure”, but how? By combining it with healthy foods like fruit. If we think of this perfect mix & match, we might think of a chocolate fondue with bananas and strawberries, or even these fruits with a chocolate coating, a classic for dates like on Valentine’s Day as a gift for your partner.

Fruits such as pineapple, mango, pear, red fruits like raspberries and bananas are also foods that could be combined with chocolate in any sweet dish to round off any evening with the best company, especially on special occasions.

At Life Smoothies we have added a twist to this versatile pair, and we bring you two perfect shakes, with fruit and chocolate as the stars.

A shake for dark chocolate lovers

If you answered dark chocolate… we bring you our Cherry & Chocolate Shake! Our innovative recipe masterfully combines the freshness and sweetness of small fruits with the purest and most bitter chocolate. Who hasn’t ended a Christmas dinner with a chocolate and cherry cake? Few things are more traditional than this combination.

Dark chocolate gives our body a great source of energy and antioxidant properties, it also gives us a great feeling of well-being and happiness, as well as helping to protect and care for the skin against the passing of time. Cherries, on the other hand, are ideal for weight loss and improving sleep cycles.

The perfect shake for those who prefer white chocolate

If, on the other hand, you have a super sweet tooth and prefer white chocolate… we have Strawberry & White Chocolate for you! Undoubtedly one of the least expected combinations, because it does not disappoint. Strawberries bring a certain acidity to a food so rich in calcium and known for its softness and sweetness.

White chocolate is excellent for those with bone problems or diseases because of its high milk content (milk solids and milk fat). It is also recommended for athletes due to their high daily energy expenditure and also for pregnant women to reinforce calcium intake during pregnancy.

Strawberries, on the other hand, are one of the most coveted fruits by everyone: on their own, in juices, smoothies, yoghurts or in pastries. There is no better way to finish off a meal than with them. But do you know what their benefits are and what they bring to our shake? They are a great source of hydration due to their almost 90% water content, are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidant properties. They are perfect for weight loss diets and aid skin care and delay the effects of ageing.

Now that you know more about our bitter chocolate and white chocolate shakes, you just need to decide who you would like to share this delicious food with.

This Christmas, give Life Smoothies as a gift!

Want to start afresh? 2022 is the year to achieve all your resolutions

Do you have a list of resolutions for 2022? We are really looking forward to this year with great excitement to achieve everything we have set out to do. We will make 2022 a great and healthy year by trying to achieve everything we want to do over the next twelve months.

If you are reluctant to make a list of resolutions for fear of not achieving all your goals, Life Smoothies gives you our list with the best tips and rewards to make the effort worthwhile and face the new year with our optimism.

Get out of our comfort zone

We start with perhaps the most ambitious challenge. Do you want to take your life in a new direction? This is your year! We suggest you start with a new haircut, buy that piece of clothing you didn’t dare buy at the time or treat your taste buds to new flavours. One of these crazy combinations could be our Banana & Salted Caramel Shake. It is a smoothie that mixes sweet and savoury flavours to surprise you and will surely become your favourite of the year. What are you waiting for?

Do more exercise

It is the number 1 resolution on everyone’s lists, and it could not be missing from ours. We know that nowadays it is very difficult to balance social life, work and exercise. But, as we said before, with some effort it will be worth it.

Start small and reward yourself with sweet but healthy treats to make your exercise almost enjoyable. When doing your workout today, just think that when you get home, our delicious Raspberry Love banana and raspberry smoothie will be waiting to sweeten your day. You will definitely want to do it again the next day! It will be the best accompaniment after your exercise routine.

Eat a healthier diet

After the resolution to do more exercise, comes the well-known “this year I’m really going to watch my diet”. We think that the hardest part is to keep it up over time.

The question is: Why view eating a healthy diet as a punishment instead of as a new lifestyle? Try different recipes, fruits and vegetables until you find the winning combination.

We give you the perfect smoothie for your new healthy life. If cooking is not your passion or if you are always busy, we recommend our Green Machine Smoothie. This green smoothie with spinach, broccoli, celery, mango and pineapple will give you the energy you need to face your day and is an appetizing, quick and tasty way to eat the fruit and vegetables that your body needs every day.

Treat ourselves more and take care of ourselves

We often neglect ourselves and we need to take a break once in a while, to stop the whirlwind of life in which we find ourselves to take a step back and think about what we want or what we need. We know the world is moving so quickly that we barely have time to reflect. But at Life Smoothies we have made a commitment to ourselves this year, because for everything else to work we also need to be well. So, this 2022 let’s take care of ourselves and indulge in a few treats that will bring us happiness.

This is much easier while listening to your favourite music in the background and enjoying the delicious Cherry & Chocolate Shake. Who can resist the combination of cherry and chocolate? Don’t miss it because it’s the perfect mix and match.

Start the year off right with Life Smoothies. And do you already have your list of new year’s resolutions ready? Would you add any other resolution? We think that one that cannot be left out is: ‘try the full range of Life Smoothies flavours’ 😉

Seven Days, Seven Smoothies

Are you one of those people who likes to associate a song or outfit to each day? If so, this article is for you. We will offer you our daily selection of the best healthy smoothies or shakes for every day of the week, because every day is different and we all know that Tuesday and Saturday are nothing alike, right? At Life Smoothies we want to reverse this trend and turn every day into the perfect excuse to choose the perfect smoothie for the day.

Start the Week Feeling Energised with our Açai Kick

Mondays are a difficult day, if not the most difficult day of the week. Getting up early and facing our hectic day-to-day lives requires extra energy, like that provided by açai, a popular fruit in recent years, and blueberries. These small berries are one of the main ingredients in our Açai Kick and are very beneficial: they help take care of the heart, the body and also the mind, thanks to their antioxidant properties. Also, the sweetness and exotic touch of mango and banana make this drink essential to kick off the week in the best way possible.

Tuesday: the Perfect Day to Keep Fit

We can’t think of a better day to drink our Green Machine. This mix of spinach, broccoli, pineapple, mango and celery is a healthy pick-me-up for the second day of the week and your recommended five portions of fruit and veg for the day.

Sweet and White Wednesday

Have you still not discovered our new range of shakes? At Life Smoothies we also have our sweet and tender side. At the halfway point of the week, the best thing to do is to celebrate it with one of our sweetest products: our Strawberry & White Chocolate shake. The best accompaniment to your afternoon snack or to satisfy your mid-morning hunger.

Thursday: Red Fruits Day

Red is the colour of love and passion, and we can’t think of a better drink for the penultimate working day of the week than our Raspberry Love. This smoothie combines a combination of red fruits, energetic, nutritious and appetising, with banana, which provides our body with L-Tryptophan and potassium, increasing our serotonin, known as the happiness hormone. Do you know what increases happiness? Knowing that tomorrow is already Friday. 😉

Tasty and Tropical Friday

For many, the best day of the week. We have a full weekend ahead of us to prepare a host of activities or to unwind after a busy week. Fridays are a time to get together and catch up with friends. At Life Smoothies we give you our reinterpretation of the famous tropical cocktail ‘Piña Colada’. Travel to the best beaches or party nights with the Tropi Colada: coconut, pineapple and banana to enjoy with whomever you want. Cheers!

Saturday V-Day

One of the most recognisable smells and flavours that reminds us of summer and takes us back to happy moments is the star of our Saturdays: vanilla. Saturday is the day of rest, family meals, spontaneous trips and surprising parties, what better than our Vanilla Shake to give us strength and to sweeten our day? You can also share it with your siblings, friends, parents or grandparents to end a large meal and after-dinner conversation full of anecdotes and laughter. Don’t think twice and enjoy some vanilla shakes!

Sunday Treats

We put the cherry on top of the week with our Cherry&Chocolate shake. Treat yourself this Sunday and recharge your batteries to face the week ahead, in front of the TV enjoying a series or film with your shake by your side. Eating chocolate makes us happy, so now you know the best recipe for going to bed on Sunday with a smile on your face.

Now that we have introduced you to our weekly Life Smoothies plan, what do you think?
