Simply shake for the same energising, immunity supporting nutrition of a fresh smoothie, and more!

It’s no secret that a diet rich in whole fruit and vegetables is good for you, and can help to prevent ageing and disease, yet many struggle to meet the recommended  “five a day”. That’s why FOGA created the Plantshake – their delicious range of instant, ‘just add liquid’ whole plant organic smoothies, made from freeze-dried fruits and vegetables – the easiest way to soar past your five a day, as one daily plantshake can increase your fruit and veg to up to 30 portions a week!

No chopping, no peeling or no blending necessary – simply shake for a healthy breakfast. 

Plantshakes are a healthy swap to premade bottled smoothies, which are all juice and no fibre, and with some containing more sugar than a doughnut. FOGA uses only premium, whole, freeze-dried ingredients that retain the gut boosting fibre and energising vitamins of fresh fruit and vegetables. FOGA aim to use 100% organic ingredients and no juice, sweeteners, or artificial ingredients in any of their range of 13 unique and mouth-watering flavours. Including the likes of: Banana and Turmeric, Peach & Cayenne, Coffee & Peanut, Blueberry & Acai, Blackberry & Chia, Beetroot & Ginger and Kiwi & Greens, with more exciting recipes being created all the time. 

Plantshakes are perfect as a mid-morning snack, or to energise pre or post workout, and contain just 100 calories* per 250ml serving. They are conveniently portioned into 30g pouches – just add water/plant milk and each pouch shakes up into an instant smoothie – perfect for keeping in your bag or at your desk  for quick on-the-go nutrition when you don’t have access to blender.

Brimming with health benefits, the freeze-drying process used by FOGA (as well as NASA!) preserves the full nutritional content of each ingredient, including the important micronutrients, phytochemicals and antioxidants from the moment the fruit and vegetables are flash frozen at harvest. This innovative process ensures that each pouch is more nutritious than a regular shop bought smoothie, or even the fruit and vegetables you buy from the supermarket. Because Plantshakes won’t go brown by the end of the week, FOGA are helping you to reduce the 7m tonnes of food wasted in UK homes each year.

FOGA believes that business should be a force for good, they include a pre-paid envelope in every box so that used pouches can be sent back to them and recycled, ensuring nothing goes to landfill. Furthermore, for every person that signs up to their mailing list FOGA plant a tree in an area affected by deforestation – a step towards offsetting the impact of their deliveries. Last year alone they planted 10,000 trees!

A week’s supply contains as many as 30 different fruit and vegetables, plus seeds, spices, superfoods and adaptogens, and each contains about two portions of whole fruit and veg. You can build your own box and select your favourite flavours, and either opt for a one-off box, or subscribe for a regular supply which the whole family can enjoy.

Set to shake up the plant based market, it’s time to wave goodbye to high sugar, expensive smoothies with minimal nutritional benefits, and say hello to FOGA and their delicious instant whole plant smoothies.
