BATTLE THE AFTERNOON SLUMP

Meet Berry Flirt - the game-changing freezedried instant smoothies that provide a healthier alternative to pre-made smoothies.

The single serve sachets offer two of your five-a-day with easy assembly. Sourcing fruits and veggies at the peak of ripeness, the freeze-dried smoothie powders contain on average half the amount of sugar and calories, and twice the amount of fibre compared with the branded smoothies millions drink as part of a meal deal every lunch time. Berry Flirt’s carefully formulated smoothies, featuring five different flavours, are based purely on nutrition, and contain only organic nutrient-rich plants, with no added sugar, preservatives, sweeteners, added colours or flavour enhancers.
