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 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!

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

Now that the Life Smoothies family has grown, you can plan the perfect time to enjoy our flavours, because they are for all kinds of occasions. You just need to choose between a smoothie or a shake… we know it’s a tough decision! That’s why, in this post, we’ll tell you about the perfect times to enjoy them whatever your decision is.

Throughout the day, we enjoy different occasions that require more or less energy for different people. For example, there are people who, when they get out of bed, prefer to wait for breakfast or there are people who cannot wait and need to eat as if it were a ritual. Whatever type of person you are, you’ll find your ideal smoothie or shake here, take note!

Time to take care of yourself

We know that there are days that are more complicated when everything is twice as hard. The important thing is not to lose perseverance and to find the energy to go to the gym or enjoy your favourite sport to stay active.

For this type of occasion we recommend, without a doubt, our Green Machine smoothie. Many of you surely already know it, but for those of you who are new to Life Smoothies, you should know that it’s like that extra battery when you’re running on empty, either before exercise or when you’ve just finished, for example. It is also ideal for taking care of yourself because it contains spinach, broccoli, banana, celery, pineapple and mango. It is the perfect natural combination to fill you with energy and vitamins.

On the other hand, there are times when we also want to continue taking care of ourselves without losing good habits. Dark chocolate has many properties, but if we combine it with cherry… doesn’t that sound delicious? That’s why we recommend our Cherry & Chocolate shake for these occasions. It’s that shot of energy that will lift your spirits high from the very start of the day.

Time to work or study

Some days we are more productive than others. That’s why we recommend our Strawberry Split for these times, because the blend of natural ingredients will awaken your senses. Ingredients include strawberries, papaya, cherries and banana. This last fruit will fill you with energy to face the day with the best attitude.

If we had to choose a shake for when you are working or studying, it would definitely be the Strawberry & White Chocolate, especially after a long, busy day. It is like rewarding yourself for all that hard work! 😉

Time to relax

We never get tired of saying that our Tropi Colada is perhaps our most tropical smoothie that will help you escape. So if you need a moment of peace, we recommend this mix of flavours including banana, pineapple and coconut. It will refresh you and fill you with sweetness, but in a healthy way. So all you have to worry about is enjoying a moment to yourself.

Did you know that smelling vanilla has sensory effects that can help you relax? That’s why you need your Vanilla shake. Its aroma is sweet and comforting, which is why it can be found in many baby products. Be mesmerised by its aroma and flavour and let it transport you to your very best dreams.

Time to have fun

Never miss those moments with your family or friends! The truth is, any of our smoothies or shakes are perfect for those special celebrations with your loved ones or simply for that catch-up with friends. But if we had to choose, we’d go for our Acai Kick smoothie. It’s one of the most unique and like those chats with your best friend, this smoothie will give you the pep talk you need.

And if you’re in the mood for a shake, we’d go for the delicious Banana & Salted Caramel. On second thoughts though, it’s so tasty… be careful they don’t end up drinking it!

Vanilla Mix, the shake that blends tradition with exclusivity

If we think of flavours or smells that remind us of moments in our lives, of summertime and our childhood, there is one that most certainly comes to mind for most of us: vanilla. With a smell and taste recognised by all, vanilla is a popular ingredient in baking and its aroma is often used in perfumes, creams, air fresheners and candles to freshen up the home with a sweet, relaxing and light scent.

Today, every corner of the world loves its flavour and aroma. But the historic origins of vanilla date back to Mexico, specifically in the Totonacapan region, which due to its climatic conditions and the type of soil, is ideal for growing vanilla. At first, they began to use it to flavour their recipes, for medicinal purposes and even as an offering.

Growing it requires a lot of patience, as the flowers of vanilla orchids only bloom every 2-3 years, and the yellowish-green flowers open for only a few hours. This is why, after saffron, it is the most valuable, expensive and sought-after plant in the world because of its delicate care and harvesting. After the ripe pods are harvested, they are heated to prevent them from blossoming. They are then dried in the sun, which causes the vanilla pods to become dark, thin and leathery, but incredibly fragrant with thousands of almost microscopic black seeds. The most valuable ones have a light coating of tiny vanillin crystals that intensify the flavour and aroma.

As well as its excellent properties as a sweetener, it also has therapeutic benefits, which means it has been used in medicine as a home remedy for thousands of years:

It stimulates the nervous system, relieving stress and anxiety
It can act as a muscle relaxant, relieving inflammatory pain
It strengthens the immune system:vanilla boosts the body’s defences and protects the immune system.
Antiseptic properties:vanilla has antiseptic and analgesic properties that help relieve pain and prevent infections.

Still not convinced? What if we told you that as well as enjoying the unmistakable taste of vanilla and its properties, you could enjoy it as a refreshment and be transported to the most exotic places? Our Vanilla Mix shake gives you all that, and more.

You’ll first be won over by its aroma, but as soon as you taste it, you’ll absolutely love its flavour. The best part is that it can be enjoyed at any time of the day: for breakfast, with a savoury snack for a delicious contrast, as a dessert after a nice meal or as an afternoon snack. No wonder that, for many, the best moment is after a long day, topping it off with pleasure in every sip.

Summer or winter, morning or evening, beach or mountain, no matter what you choose, Vanilla Mix is perfect for any situation and is loved by everyone. If you try it, you will never forget it!
