Acai. A smooth operator with serious beauty benefits.



Acai, we love it. For starters, there's a reason why this superfood has been coined the ‘Beauty Berry’. Containing more grams of regenerating protein than an egg, and packed full of anti-ageing and metabolism-boosting phyto-nutrients, this lovely berry improves your health and promotes real beauty from the inside out. 

Why Acai?
This little wonder:
  • Combats premature ageing with the help of powerful antioxidants (namely anthocyanin)
  • Boosts immunity and metabolic function
  • Aids in muscle regeneration, promoting increased energy and stamina
  • Improves blood circulation, assisting in a healthier heart
  • Assists in removing toxins from your body
Beautifying Berry Smoothie
Ingredients
  • Raw acai powder – 1 tsp
  • Raw cacao powder – 1 tsp
  • Mixed berries – a large handful (fresh or frozen)
  • Medium ripe banana  – 1 whole
  • Almond milk – 200 ml
  • Water – 100ml
We like Loving Earth for our acai and cacao powders they use only sustainable , fairly traded and high-quality organic ingredients. When choosing an almond milk, always go for unsweetened. Or if you have the time, make your own!

Preparation
  1. Pop all ingredients in blender
  2. Blend
  3. Serve
  4. Drink
  5. Yum
If you fancy making our Beautifying Berry Smoothie but don't have all of the ingredients at your disposal, we have a lovely superfood hamper up for grabs from Loving Earth. Just head over to our Facebook page, like our post, and you could be in with a chance of winning some raw acai, goji, vanilla and cacao...

And then they could chew. And it was good.



Urban Remedy is launching a selection of brand spanking new edible 'extras' to complement your detox or enjoy alongside a balanced diet.

As seasoned cleansers, we're all too familiar with that craving to sink your teeth into something in between juices. Yep, you're not alone. We all like to chew. That said, it's not about diving into a packet of biscuits or chomping on a greasy slice of pizza. Nope, think super healthy (but still yummy) detox-friendly chewing.

What? 

Activated Almonds 

with organic apple cider vinegar and celtic sea salt

$7.95 for a 100g packet
These crunchy little beauties are soaked overnight to release enzyme inhibitors and then dehydrated for up to 8 hours to give intense flavor. Yum.

AMAZEballs
with almond meal, almond butter, raw cacao powder, spirulina powder, tahini, sesame seeds, mixed nuts, coconut flakes, natural vanilla extract and liquid stevia

$10.95 for a box of four lovely balls
3 delicious flavours:
- Almond
- Chocolate
- Green

Why? 
Because we all like to chew but we still want to be healthy. AND it's SO hard to find healthy snacks when you're out and about! Our nifty extras are detox-friendly, super duper healthy and the perfect way to complement your juice cleanse or six pack order.

Nutritionally-speaking, these little beauties are faultless. They contain the perfect amount of protein, good fats and super-nutrients. Our Activated Almonds and AMAZEballs act as an excellent tonic for clear skin, healthy hair and easier digestion. Packed full of antioxidants and alkalizing superfoods, they even help improve mood, increase energy and relieve stress.

Relax. Our extras are free from:
Yeast
Sugar
Dairy
Gluten
Wheat

When?
Available to order online next week for delivery from:
Mon November 26th – Sydney
Tues November 27th – Other locations

It's really easy. Just jump online and add them to an existing order. Please note that at this stage they cannot be ordered separately – they are 'extras' to an existing juice cleanse or six pack order. If you love them and are keen to place a BULK order, please email us at info@urbanremedy.com.au

So get chewing and enjoy!
