Fast Track Your Way To Better Health

17th April 2007 Print
Crush Smoothies Crussh, the UK’S favourite juice and smoothie bar chain, has unveiled its exciting new Booster Menu. Boosters are made up of a combination of natural supplements that can help you get the vitamins, minerals and herbs you need to feel your best. Boosters can be enjoyed on their own in small quantities, or alternatively added to fresh juices and smoothies to provide extra goodness and the ultimate energy boost!

The new Booster menu will be available from the 1st of April 2007 in all 16 Crussh juice bar outlets across the Capital. Renowned for their advantageous effects, the boosters are comprised of rare and unusual ‘superfood’ ingredients that have long been used by some of the world’s most prominent indigenous tribes and ancient civilisations as natural stimulants and remedies. Featured Crussh Booster ingredients are priced from just 50p and include:

Wheatgrass – a green, leafy grass plant that has been used for thousands of years. A 1oz shot of this natural wonder gives you the same nutrients as eating 1½ pounds of fresh, green vegetables! Health benefits reportedly include improved digestion, accelerated healing and lower blood pressure.

Bee Pollen – yup, it’s actually yellow flower pollen collected from buzzing bees! Containing 18 amino acids, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes and over a dozen vitamins, it’s easy to see why this superfood gained the nickname ‘the fountain of youth’. Early Egyptian and Chinese civilizations both used it as a physical rejuvenator for increasing energy, stamina and endurance. Bee pollen also has medicinal properties and has been highly regarded for centuries as a good source of nourishment.

Aloe Vera – an amazing medicinal plant originally from West Africa, and used for thousands of years as a powerful anti-inflammatory. The sap of the plant is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and contains 75 different nutritional compounds. Aloe Vera also contains anti bacterial properties, and is said to aid digestion, strengthen the immune system and help reduce acne.

Siberian Ginseng - a medicinal herb native to eastern Russia, China, Korea and Japan and popular due to reported aphrodisiac and energising properties. The root of this herb is regarded as useful in staving off the effects of a cold, helping the body adapt to stressful situations and increasing longevity.

Guarana – a creeping shrub native to the Amazon, traditionally used by South American Indian Tribes as a stimulant. The seeds are used as an effective energy booster, and it is also thought to fight free radicals and aid weight loss.

In addition to pure ‘superfood’ ingredients, the experts at Crussh have come up with a clever range of blended booster shots with novelty names, specially designed to combat common conditions and ailments. The Energy Explosion is the perfect solution to the 3 o’clock slump, boosting energy levels, motivation and concentration, and it’s a whole lot better for you than coffee or chocolate!

Other inspired concoctions include the Detoxer; designed to shake off hangovers, the Bliss Blend; aimed at reducing stress and the Fat Burner; the perfect partner in any weight loss regime. Gym bunnies and aspiring hunks should try the Protein Power; designed to accelerate muscle development, while those frequenting the tube might prefer a Flu Fighter; defending your immune system against viruses and other nasties – it could be the best 50p you’ve ever spent!

Treat your mind and body to the maximum boost this spring with an extraordinary drink from Crussh. Packed chock a block full of miracle products and natural goodness, there’s a delicious booster available to tantalise your taste buds and match your lifestyle requirements.
