I’ve got something that will get you your daily dose greens in one hit. My secret: Elixirs. For any of you wanting to kick your nourishing routine up a notch, the daily consumption of an elixir could be just the thing you’re searching for. I swear by these powerful potions full of so many amazing nutrients… and the best thing about them is you can customise them to suit your mood and flavour preference. Consider these the good kind of shots!

ELIXIRS… healthful and wholesome concoctions packed with super nutrition, designed for boosting immunity, beauty, detoxing and well, even to make you feel a little happier.

I bet you’re thinking, “now what are the differences between a fresh juice and an elixir?” A regular juice generally speaking will be around 600mL or more of liquid. Elixirs are smaller and will exert around 200mL and usually contain more ingredients – it’s basically compacting much more into a smaller amount so you’re left with a powerful drink to serve as a rich source of nutrients. When it comes to good health, proper nutrition really is the key – and after all, to live active, it’s essential for us to look, think and perform at our best each and everyday.
