Savse Cold Pressed Juice

For the last few months, I have been looking for the ultimate pressed juice that is easy to drink and has the right combination of natural vitamins and benefits. With winter approaching and my uncontrollable B12 and Vitamin D levels, I thought I'd get ahead of the tiredness and fatigue.

 Being a busy individual, I don’t have the time to make juices or smoothies unless I have a spare 20 minutes at the weekend (which rarely happens). I have tried a few on the market, but they always seem to have some form of added sugar, or are unnaturally high in calories – not ideal.

However, yesterday I found Savse Cold Pressed Juices in Boots and thought I would give them a go. I am not going to lie when I first looked at what was in the juices I winced a tiny bit inside dreading what they would taste like. You know that saying you should never judge a book by its cover … yeah that. I have tried the Super Blue and Green Juice and both have been extremely delicious, and not what I thought they would taste like - at all.  The best bit is…they don’t contain any added sugar,and are low in calories! Horrah!

There are no preservatives added, as they use High Pressure Processing (HPP), an innovative preservation method that allows the fruit and veg to retain their natural goodness, without using heat. Nina originally made these smoothies 30 years ago after finding out she had an iron deficiency whilst pregnant. Her children loved the juices so much they decided to bottle them and sell them for the rest of us to enjoy – thank the lord they did!

Their packaging is on point, and they have clearly found their USP.  From reading about them in various articles, it’s quite unbelievable that there are only 6 people who work for this company, from production and logistics to account management. I know all too well how crazy it is working for a start up, so I applaud you, your perseverance and dedication to getting your product out there for people to enjoy.  Well done guys, you will be having my full support going forward!

Review: Coco Di Mama - London

Since starting my new job, I have found it quite hard to buy lunch for a reasonable price in Central London. I jumped for joy when Peter told me that Coco Di Mama now have gluten free options; including pasta, brown rice risotto and cakes. We had to go. Lucky enough there’s one about 5 minutes’ walk from my office, which in the long run could be dangerous!

I tried the brown rice risotto with chicken and chorizo, with chili oil. 

Yum. I gobbled it down in 10 minutes. The portion sizes are quite generous, and the price is below average for a central London food outlet. A medium portion is around £4.90 for risotto and if you request gluten free pasta it is an extra 90p.

I have to say though; their gluten free salted caramel brownie is something else. It’s on another level of awesomeness. I jumped up and down as I nabbed the last one! They have the balance of chocolate and caramel down to a T – I should know, I like to pride myself of loving all things caramel flavoured.

The only downside is that they only have branches in London. If you live or work in London, see below for the locations. If you don’t, you may just have to visit London!

Old Bailey

Fleet Street

London Wall

St Pauls

Monument

Houndsditch

Margaret Street

P.s they do the best coffee in the City apparently – which you can’t miss out on. The other half swears by it! 

Go visit! :) T x
