The Detox Benefits
Bananas are rich in potassium, which helps balance electrolytes and support heart health. They also provide a natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars. Oat milk is a fantastic dairy-free alternative that is gentle on the digestive system and adds a creamy texture to the smoothie. The superfood shake enhances the nutrient profile, providing a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Raw cacao is a powerful superfood known for its high antioxidant content and mood-boosting properties. Honey not only sweetens the smoothie naturally but also adds anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits. Optional ingredients like peanut butter, cinnamon, and mixed nuts can add protein, healthy fats, and extra flavor.

Organic Superfood Shake
Superfoods are sourced from wild or organic soil, soil that is rich in the natural microbes that live in the soil. These microbes enable the nutrients and minerals in the soil, to become bio-available to the plants; which in turn makes these nutrients available to us.
PURE FYNBOS HONEY
Our organic honey is harvested from bees that forage exclusively on the indigenous Fynbos vegetation, known for its rich biodiversity and aromatic plants. This local, organic honey not only offers a distinct taste but also embodies the essence of one of the world’s most unique floral landscapes.
