Nourisharvest Boost Smoothie Range FAQs

Each powder is made from whole New Zealand-grown fruits and vegetables that are carefully dried and powdered to retain their natural goodness.
2. What are the main ingredients in Boost Smoothie powders?
Each blend in our Boost Smoothie range is made from 100% whole fruits and vegetables. The specific ingredients vary by flavor, but you can expect a mix of nutrient-dense produce like kiwifruit, apples, spinach, and parsley in each formulation.
3. How should I use Boost Smoothie powders?
Our powders are versatile! Simply mix 20 grams (approximately one scoop) into your favorite smoothie or shake. You can also add it to baking recipes, yogurt, or even homemade ice cream for a nutritional boost. They’re perfect for busy mornings or as a quick, nutritious snack.
4. Are Boost Smoothie powders suitable for children?
Yes! Boost Smoothie powders are a great way to increase children’s fruit and vegetable intake. They can be blended into smoothies or hidden in foods like sauces, pancakes, or baked goods. Our powders are naturally sweetened by the fruits used, making them child-friendly.
5. Do Boost Smoothie powders contain any additives or preservatives?
No. Nourisharvest Boost Smoothie powders are made with 100% natural ingredients. We don’t use any artificial additives, preservatives, or sweeteners. Our goal is to offer a clean, pure product that supports a healthy lifestyle.
6. How do you preserve the nutrients in the powders?
We use a low-temperature drying process to retain the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in the fruits and vegetables. This ensures that you get the maximum nutritional value in every serving.
7. Are your products organic?
Yes! We source the best organic fruits and vegetables directly from New Zealand farms, ensuring our products are free from harmful pesticides and chemicals.
8. What’s the shelf life of Boost Smoothie powders?
Our Boost Smoothie powders have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Be sure to reseal the packaging tightly after each use to maintain freshness.
9. Can I use Boost Smoothie powders if I have dietary restrictions?
Yes! Our Boost Smoothie powders are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, making them suitable for a variety of dietary needs.
10. How is Boost Smoothie powder different from fresh fruit and vegetables?
While nothing can replace fresh produce, Boost Smoothie powders offer a convenient alternative for when you’re on the go or don’t have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The drying process locks in the nutrients, so you still get a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
11. Where are your products made?
Our Boost Smoothie powders are made from fruits and vegetables grown and harvested in New Zealand. The powders are processed locally to ensure the highest quality and freshest taste.
12. Can I use Boost Smoothie powders in cooking or baking?
Absolutely! Our powders can be added to a variety of recipes including smoothies, baked goods, soups, and sauces to enhance the nutritional value. Try adding them to pancakes, muffins, or even homemade pasta dough for a colorful and healthy twist.
13. How much powder should I use per serving?
We recommend using 20 grams of Boost Smoothie powder per serving. This provides you with a balanced amount of fruits and vegetables to support your daily nutrition.
14. Why does Nourisharvest use wholefoods to make Boost Smoothie powder instead of concentrated fruit and vegetable juice powders?
At Nourisharvest, we believe in using 100% wholefoods in our Boost Smoothie powders to provide the most complete nutritional benefits. Unlike concentrated juice powders, which often remove essential fiber and some nutrients during processing, our wholefood powders retain the entire fruit or vegetable, including the skin, pulp, and seeds where many nutrients and fiber are found.
By using wholefoods, we ensure that our powders contain not only the natural vitamins and minerals but also important fiber and antioxidants that are lost in juice concentrates. This approach offers a more balanced, nutrient-dense product, supporting digestion and overall health.
15. How should I store my Boost Smoothie powder once opened?
Once opened, it’s important to store your Boost Smoothie powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Each pouch contains a silica gel satchel to help absorb any moisture and maintain the powder's freshness.
Be sure to keep the silica gel satchel in the pouch and reseal it tightly after each use. Do not consume the silica gel satchel. Proper storage will help extend the shelf life of the powder and preserve its nutrient content.
