I recently received some post from Roots Collective. Roots Collective are a company who specialise in creating blends. Not something I can honestly say I have been familiar with before. I have seen many juices and smoothies but never a blend. Each blend is created with whole vegetables and has at least one of your five a day, as well as containing no more than 150 calories.

I was told that these blends can be used in recipes, warmed to have as a soup or just drunk as they are, which I thought was a cool concept for a product. Making it so versatile!

Here are the flavours I received and some ideas I have came up with to trial!

Garden Greens - Cucumber, Peas, Kale & Mint
This blend sounds perfect for drizzling over some quinoa and fresh herb salad.

Sweet Beets - Beetroot, Red Pepper, Honey & Lime
Beetroot and feta go together hand in hand so I  think this would be great mixed into crumbled feta, placed on a chicken breast and wrapped in pancetta and baked.

Asian Sling - Spinach, Coriander, Chilli & Lemongrass
Sounds perfect to throw on top of a prawn stirfry. I think I would heat this up to thicken it down a little more.

Carrot Zing - Carrot, Ginger, Honey & Lime
This one sounds like it would be great warmed up. With some extra diced veggies like celery and onion chucked in, I think this would make a great chunky soup.

Green Warrior - Cucumber, Spinach, Parsley & Chives
When I saw these ingredients baked cod came to mind, on a bed of steamed spinach, braised asparagus and tenderstem broccoli with some of this blend heated and popped on top.

Is a blend something you think you would enjoy?
