These New Smoothie Bars Are Popping Up Across London, Just In Time For Dry January
After the excitement of the festive season, January is all about taking a pause and allowing yourself to reset and prioritise your health and wellness – and food and drink are a big part of that. If you’re looking to begin the year with a nourishing start, we’ve got some news for you: Mindful Chef, a food service that delivers recipe boxes with fresh, quality ingredients to your home, is getting on the road this month, with its first pop-up smoothie bar.
In Partnership With Mindful Chef
At The Handbook, we are all a team of foodies, and come January, we’re all about food that’s healthy but not boring, which is exactly what Mindful Chef offers. With meals that taste as good as they are good for you, Mindful Chef makes it easy to enjoy real food while building lasting habits that stick long after the New Year. From real ingredients to real flavour, Mindful Chef is on a mission to make healthy eating feel effortless and enjoyable every day, whether it’s your daily meals or now, a quick, nourishing drink that you can pick up in between meetings or life tasks.
What’s the concept behind Mindful Chef’s smoothie bars?
This January, Mindful Chef is giving busy Londoners a simple, delicious way to keep their health on track, without sacrificing flavour. Their smoothie bars will pop up across London and give away a range of Mindful Chef’s best-selling functional smoothies, ideal for a post-workout drink, a midday pick-me-up, or a healthy start to the day.
Mindful Chef’s smoothie pop-up is the perfect way to kickstart your health journey. Their offerings are not just delicious; they are crafted from real, whole foods that nourish your body and make you feel better after the Christmas season.
Elly, Founder & CEO
The idea behind these pop-up bars is to say yes to flavour and nourishment. January isn’t about saying no – it’s about making healthy choices that are delicious too. And who doesn’t love a good smoothie? Whether you like yours fruity, like their Berry Gut Boosting, packed with cultures and fibre-rich blackberries and blueberries, or rich and nutty like their Peanut Butter Protein with sweet dates and banana, there are plenty of options. And all their smoothies are dairy-free and contain no refined sugars.
Who is Mindful Chef?
Mindful Chef offers healthy, chef-designed meal kits to cook at home. With macro-balanced, whole foods with real protein and complex carbohydrates, you can get yourself delicious weekly menus from an expert team of chefs. Boxes are delivered to your home with pre-portioned ingredients, so it’s easy to cook a delicious dinner in less than 30 minutes. You can also add their wide range of delicious smoothies, plus convenient breakfasts, snacks and frozen meals to your order.
After a month of indulging in a bit too many mince pies, I’m looking forward to a month of eating clean and healthy which is why Mindful Chef is a great way to stick to my goals for the year.
