Boost Smoothies are 100% natural. What does this mean?
Boost Smoothies contain no additives, preservatives or added sweeteners. The claim 'no added sugar' means that the sugars present in the drink are naturally occurring in the fruit rather than from added sugar.
How many of the recommended '5 a day' portions of fruit and vegetables are there in a Boost Smoothie?
Each 250ml bottle of Boost Smoothie contains the equivalent of 2 pieces of fruit. The department of Health Guidelines, say that you should count any smoothie as 1 of your '5 a day'. This is to encourage people to eat and drink a range of fruit and veg, rather than just drinking smoothies.
How do Boost Smoothies stay fresh for so long?
Boost Smoothie bottles have a barrier which helps prevent light and oxygen getting into the product. This means the fruity goodness doesn't deteriorate the same as chilled smoothies. Also, Boost Smoothies are pasteurised to reduce the micro count, then sealed in a totally sterile environment. This means that they will last much longer.
Do the concentrated juices in Boost Smoothies contain more sugar content?
No. The juices are just concentrated by reducing water in them, to make them easy to transport over from the country the fruits are picked. We then just put pure water back in, which means there is just the naturally occurring sugar.
Do Boost Smoothies contain any preservatives?
Unlike most others, Boost Smoothies are completely preservative free.
