At Cinch, we believe in harnessing nature’s goodness in every possible way – And lately, that’s meant embracing smoothies & juicing as part of our daily ritual.
It all began when one of our Cinchers came home from a juice retreat feeling transformed, and she generously shared her story. Inspired, we dove into the research around juices and smoothies. In July, we committed to giving it a real go—and now, three months in, we’re hooked. I feel alive, energised, and full of goodness.
Every morning, I open my eating window with a smoothie. My aim is roughly 80% vegetables, 20% fruit, plus “super-nutrition” powders. Wherever possible, I try to use organic—because this world is toxic enough without unintentionally adding pesticide load.
I also make sure to pack in plenty of protein and fibre so that I feel satisfied longer, stay energised throughout the day, and support healthy digestion. Studies show that combining protein + fibre in smoothies helps with fullness & stable blood sugar.
