Make Way for Kold Press – Dubai’s Juice Revolution

Lifting the lid on traditional juicing methods, the Kold Press Juice Kompany started it’s healthy takeover with a focus on fuelling your body with the right ingredients. With it, they’re revolutionising the way your body is able to absorb these required nutrients. I didn’t know this, but traditional juicers use a process that adds some heat and exposes the ingredients to air, two things that cut down on how many nutrients actually make their way into your bottles!

So for some science…The Kold press method extracts the juice by pressing the fruits and vegetables without adding heat and in a more stable manor (hence the term “cold-pressed”). The pressing process ensures that a rich source of phytochemicals, including live enzymes, are maintained throughout. With this method, Kold Press is able to liberate the natural enzymes from the fibers of the fruit and vegetables, ensuring you get more nutrients per sip than with any other juice! This way of extracting the juice ensures the maximum amount of liquid from the least amount of produce and because the Kold Press does not force air into the juice during pressing, the juice won’t expire as fast either…

Eat your fruit and drink your veggies!

Coupled with a team of nutritionists and creative chefs, the Kold Press menu has a variety of sculpted raw and unprocessed juices, that I can assure you, are made with complete integrity and love.

Not only that, the gorgeous glass bottles they come in help ensure that their juices are also environmentally sustainable and 100% recyclable!

Grab yours at Ripe Market, Milk & Honey, Capital D Studio, Eden beach club, H.E.A.T Cafe or why not give them a call for a juice delivery!

Work Hard. Play Hard. Cleanse. Repeat…

Having survived the busiest month of the year, it’s high time I wrote up one of the main reasons how I have managed to stay relatively healthy here. The lovely people down at Detox Delight sent me a weeks survival kit, full of some of the tastiest soups I have ever tried! Vegan in design, these cold-pressed and pureed vegetable soups are so full of flavour… one of my favourite concoctions was the hot pink pear and beetroot combo. Detox Delight

Detox delight soups are neither pasteurised nor preserved in an artificial way. A healthy way to support your immune system in times of stress…

Why is cold press so good? Traditional blenders use a process that adds some heat and exposes the ingredients to air, two things that cut down on how many nutrients make their way into you directly. The cold press method extracts the goodness by pressing the fruits and vegetables without adding heat. With this method, the natural enzymes from the fibers of the fruit and vegetables are liberated. This way of extracting the goodness ensures the maximum amount of liquid from the least amount of produce.

If you haven’t tried one of their juice cleanses, then that is well worth a look, (it’s next on my list after the Christmas holidays). Detox Delight

The optimum balance of fruit and vegetables is crucial: Pure fruit juices contain too much fructose, which increases our blood sugar levels, triggers ravenous cravings and impairs our bodies’ ability to burn fat.

Vita Yoga at the Cove

There’s two things I LOVE… coconut water and outdoor yoga. So naturally when Vita Coco got in touch to see if I wanted to join their early Friday morning classes, I jumped at it! They had set up rows of Vita Coco yoga mats down at Dubai’s newest beach hotspot, Cove Beach, overlooking the gorgeous views of the Burj.

Sporting my bright new Vita Coco yoga leggings (how cool are they!?) from famed Aussie brand Dharma Bums, (found at Dubai yoga-store Yapparel) and a brand new pair of Havianas, I had all I needed for a morning on the beach 🙂

Taught by yoga superstar Abbey Bates (who’s a complete instagram celeb by the way), these Hatha flow classes are now my favourite way to wake up on the weekend!

Followed by a delicious breakfast on their wooden terrace, my Friday mornings for the last month have been completely #PoweredByCoconuts!

After-hours Yogalates

You won’t believe how far i’ve come here… whether it’s the extended backbend, keeping my hips square or even being able to balance on my arms in side crow, all whilst smiling and not grimacing through clenched teeth. I credit a lot of it to the patience and help from my instructors but, it’s also down to perseverance and not wanting to give up on a pose just because it’s hard.

The harder the pose, the more you need it
