Vita Coco, the world’s leading coconut water brand, has partnered with Boost Juice Stores and their brand ambassador British sprint record holder Zharnel Hughes to launch a limited time only smoothie to celebrate the summer of sport – The Swift Smoothie.
Hughes has developed the smoothie recipe, which contains Vita Coco’s coconut water, with the leading UK nutritionist Rob Hobson.
Zharnel Hughes explains: “I love blending up smoothies even on busy training days. I always use Vita Coco original coconut water, which is essential for hydration and electrolytes. Tropical fruits add a sweet taste and vital vitamins. While chia seeds add omega-3s. I blend everything with ice for a refreshing drink, using fresh or frozen ingredients and extra ginger for a kick.”
Ingredients for the Swift Smoothie are: Vita Coco, Mango Juice, Honey, Pineapple, Ginger, Chia Seeds, Unflavoured Whey Protein, Mango Pieces, Passion Fruit, Mango Yoghurt, and Ice. Inspired by Zharnel’s go-to blend to support his training and recovery along with his favorite tropical flavors.
Customers can order The Swift Smoothie at all Boost stores across the UK or tap the Boost Juice UK app now to order and collect. Find your nearest Juice Store here.
