Meet the Pear Necessities

Power up your taste buds with delicious pear, peach, apricot, collagen, basil seeds and magnesium to combat that post-workout dip.

When you’ve been on the end of a killer workout, even those wondrous endorphins aren’t always enough to keep us buzzing through the back end of the day.

Boost Me Pear Smoothie is on rescue duty. If Baywatch was a smoothie…

This blend not only includes basil seeds, which are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, but also magnesium. Any Swisse Me regulars will know ALL about our love affair with magnesium….

This isn’t the first time we’ve discussed the ‘big M’ and we do have a bit of a mineral crush; it must be said. That’s because magnesium is simply awesome – helping to support nerve and muscle function.

Be sure to try Swisse Me’s Pear and Almond Bliss Ball recipe a try! Using the Boost Me Pear blend, these pocket rockets are the healthy on-the-go snack you’ll LOVE to turn to. Our batch makes approximately 15 of these delicious, bite-sized balls, so you can share with friends and family. Or not!

Boost Me Coffee

Boost Me Coffee

COFFEE APPLE Ready-to-Drink Smoothie

Recharge your batteries with this energising blend of coffee, apple, banana & oats. 

Raise your hand if you love good coffee.

Boost Me Coffee pouch is perfect to give you that on-the-go kick, right when your energy levels start sinking.

Now, the brain is very fond of two things found in coffee; antioxidants and caffeine. (Which is a good job, because we bet you’re very fond of your morning latte too). Caffeine keeps the brain alert by blocking adenosine, the chemical that makes you sleepy. It also sharpens concentration for those exam conditions or work presentation.

Now, not only are our handy pouches perfect for travelling, our Boost Me Coffee blend can get you out of a tight jam when your coffee fix just isn’t available. Think about the last time you were on a train or flight, and the coffee wasn’t all that appetizing. Here at Swisse Me, we want to ensure you’re never caught short – grab, pack and go, it’s that easy!

Oh, and don’t forget the wonderful recipes you can craft with our delicious smoothies. Check out our mouth-watering Coffee Pancake Recipe – we created it for pancake day, but there’s no way we’re waiting another year to treat our taste buds!

Boost Me Coffee Pancake Recipe

Boost Me Coffee Pancake Recipe

Serves 2-3

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups spelt or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp granulated sweetener; coconut sugar or stevia
  • 1 sachet Boost Me Coffee Ready-to-Drink Smoothie
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp extra coffee (we used instant decaf)

METHOD:

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then, add in the almond milk, vanilla, Boost Me Coffee sachet and apple cider vinegar and stir until just mixed – be careful not to overdo it! Let this sit on the side for 5-10 minutes.

Add a little oil of your choice to a large frying pan and place on medium heat. Once hot, use a ¼ cup scoop or a couple of tbsp’s to pour the mixture into pancake shapes in the pan. Once bubbles start to appear in the middle of your pancake, flip it to cook the other side.

 Repeat this with the rest of your pancake batter before stacking and topping with maple syrup, fruit and nut butter!
