Nichola Whitehead's smoothie recipes with Tg green teas

Today, store shelves are filled with drinks that entice us with sugar and empty calories.

Even drinks that claim to be good for us are all too often high in sugar or filled with artificial ingredients.

Worse, many “new age” drinks come from unfamiliar and unsustainable sources.

And as for the drinks that really are healthy? Sadly, many of them do not taste great.

This is what drove Hua & I to create Tg green teas in London, in 2015.

With our own savings, a few grants and buckets of passion, knowledge and tenacity, we developed a range of drinks that are tasty and low in sugar, so low in sugar that each drink wears proudly a "green" nutritional traffic light.

We also based our drinks on green tea, a leaf that has been refreshing and nourishing folks for thousands of years. It's no surprise I guess that we have already won a number of UK & international innovation, quality, and design awards for our drink concept.

Awards are nice of course but what really matters is getting folks to try and adopt Tg green teas.

We live and breathe each day our mission to help get healthier drinks on shelf.

So when a well known dietitian who's appeared on BBC and in major newspapers advocating healthier & balanced lifestyles says she loves our drinks, it makes it all worthwhile for us.

Is Kraft Heinz dropping the Unilever acquisition just an interlude?

(c) 2012 Convergence Alimentaire blog image I cut my FMCG marketing teeth at Unilever and ended my full-time global food & drink industry career at Kraft/Mondelez. I now run a healthier drinks startup business ( drinktg.com ) alongside a global innovation consultancy where I work as an "extrapreneur" supporting companies wanting to remake their portfolios to better fit emerging consumer needs for healthier products......so I am perhaps in a unique position to give a point of view. If you are Dutch or British, you feel closer culturally to Unilever and few people living in the UK will have forgotten Kraft's poor treatment of people & assets post Cadbury's acquisition . However, the reality is that the vision and values of both companies are not so dissimilar and both are facing the same fundamental shifts in consumer behaviour & needs in relation to "big FMCG/CPG" brands in both developed a...

Why portion and serving sizes should be left for the FSA to decide

Like much of the developed world, t he UK has an obesity problem . 60% of the population is overweight or obese from eating too much and exercising too little. Reducing portion sizes a proven intervention that changes health behaviour and helps to reduce obesity There have been numerous studies since the early 1990s that show reducing portion sizes of the food & drink we consume would help reverse the obesity epidemic. BBC health editor, James Gallagher , reported in 2015 [ link ] the findings of research based on 6,711 people that took part in a wide range of clinical trials. Professor Gareth Hollands (among others) found that eliminating " large portions could cut up to 279 calories a day out of people's diets " [ link ].... equivalent to an extra kg of fat to contend with every month. Research in the British Medical Journal states that reducing portion sizes becomes easier when there is availability of smaller pack sizes ...

Eat 10 fruit and veg per day is unhelpful advice

Kantar continues to report folks manage to eat on average just over 3 fruits & vegetables a day despite years of encouraging folks to aim for 5 a day. Now, researchers from Imperial College London are urging folks now to up fruit & veg intake to 10 per day [link to research press release ]. 10 a day. Researchers risk folks doing little more than throwing in the towel in despair, especially in the short term. In any event, looking just at fruit & veg's impact on cardiovascular health is too narrow a research focus in my view. It would be more helpful if researchers looked at a broader basket of food & drink especially green tea , whole grains, spices and certain nuts. This might give us a better chance at improving overall health & wellbeing! Sophia Nadur www.drinktg.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophianadur/
