Fun with Foga multivitamin smoothies
Introducing FOGA instant smoothie multivitamin blends – add water and enjoy a nutrition-packed organic fruit smoothie bursting with over 70+ health benefits. Great for all the family and ideal when you need a healthy boost. FOGA helps sustain energy, nourish the gut, strengthen defences, keep us focussed, reinforce bones, keep the heart healthy, and aid towards glowing skin. Our newest flavours are Chocolate Cookie, Tiramisu, Peach and Mango and Tropical Greens.
Formulated to give you everything you need in one tasty shake, so you can focus on the things you love – not worrying about your supplement regime. There’s no peeling, chopping, juicing or blending involved to get two of your five a day.
Instead, FOGA combines premium quality food state micronutrients with real fruit & veg for maximum absorption & efficacy. Fresh produce is unstable and loses nutrients fast. Freeze drying stops this degradation, meaning you get perfectly preserved produce with no preservatives. We use organic fruit and veg wherever possible.
Foga can be consumed before a workout, in the office, on the go and when travelling. Add the powder to 250ml of water or (plant) milk. Whizz for a few seconds in a blender or shake like you’re making a cocktail. Convenient, delicious and powerfully nutritious — FOGA helps you feel the way you should.
