It appears that people have started looking after their bodies a lot more in recent times. Health related startups and businesses that cater to healthy snack solutions are on the rise. We’ve seen a monumental increase in the number ofcold pressed juices and nut milks hitting premium grocers, organic markets and supermarkets.
To Be Healthy is the newest kid on the block and as the name suggests it was born out of a necessity. The founders – Amitoj Singh & Mayank Gupta wanted to strike a balance between healthy and delicious and to shun the notion that all healthy food tastes insipid and bland.They launched a comprehensive range of 12 juices with watermelon, pineapple and the antioxidants from pomegranate and Valencia orange to name a few. The range is evolving and expanding as we speak with almond mylks in two flavours, chia puddings and 12 coldpressed juices. All the juices contain none of the gunk, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or colours.
They sent over a batch of TBH goodies to my house one weekday morning. The vanilla almond mylk tasted decadent, smooth and absolutely sinful. Sweetened with honey, this delightful drink is loaded with heart healthy compounds, vitamin e, omega 3 fatty acids to keep your skin, joints and hair in good shape. What’s more is that this almond mylk is a great solution for the lactose and dairy intolerant as well as those watching their weight. Unlike, store bought varieties of almond mylks that contain chemicals, preservatives and pesticides; their variant is made in-house and freshly prepared for each batch. They also have an almond mylk with chai spices that I cant wait to get my hands on. Imagine drinking a healthy chai latte sweetened with honey and made with almond mylk. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
I love chia for breakfast and have about a dozen recipes that I rotate so that I don’t get bored. The chia pudding came in a cute mason jar with a rainbow topping of the healthiest berries and nuts. The pudding was made with chia, water and activated almonds and a tiny bit of honey. The topping was sprinkled with dehydrated goji berries, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, melon seeds and sunflower seeds- antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamin C. This immune boosting is bursting at the seams with goodness but I wish it had a tiny bit of vanilla or cinnamon for that added zing. I added a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and a tiny bit of French vanilla and ate it all in one sitting.
I left the juices for the end of the tasting. Available in 12 flavours and beautifully packaged in BPA free glass bottles; TBH incorporates a lot of local ingredients for their products. I am partial to veggie juices because I worry about the glycemic effect or sugar rush with glugging down fruit juices from the bottle. I tried Anarchy, Citrus Punch and Classic Watermelon. The Anar-Chy is a party of flavours in your mouth with pomegranate, sweet lime and mint. A tad too sweet for me, this drink is great for rehydration, post workout soreness and as an anti inflammatory tonic. The Citrus Punch had lemon, carrot, pineapple and Valencia orange and tasted like a cocktail in the tropics sans the alcohol. Incredibly refreshing and delicious, although I would’ve loved a tiny bit of ginger or veggies to offset some of the sweetness. The Classic Watermelon is a summer favourite with Himalayan rock salt and watermelon. I was a little apprehensive about this one but loved it the most. The addition of Himalayan rock salt was clever and this makes for the perfect rehydrating juice on a hot summer day.
