Frequently Asked Questions

Each product is made fresh to by hand in Islington, London without the use of any preservatives or pasteurisation to keep it super fresh.

The protein smoothie range will arrive with a minimum of 7 days life and a max of 14. The cold-pressed juice range has a minimum of 7 days life and a max of 39 days.  The use-by date is on the cap of the bottle.

If you'd like drinks with as long as life as possible just let us know and we'll schedule your order accordingly (you will have to wait a few days longer for your order to be dispatched

You can also freeze your drinks to consume at a later date. Some of them freeze a little better than others. The texture can be altered slightly but the nourishment is the same :) 

You can also freeze your drinks to consume at a later date. Some of them freeze a little better than others. The texture can be altered slightly but the nourishment is the same :) 

Simply take your drink out of the freezer and put it in the fridge overnight to have the next day.

Each drink provides nourishment similar to that of a healthy meal using only real food ingredients (triple-release protein, oats, fruit, vegetables & nuts). This range is simply ‘real, all-natural food, bottled’.

Our smoothie range has been designed by nutrition experts to include each of the three core macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat) that you would find in a ‘standard’ meal. They are not a total meal replacement as they do not contain all the required micronutrients. 

Some of these micronutrients/minerals must be manufactured artificially - this is why we do not include them in our all-natural range.

They are not a traditional “meal replacement” as the EU definition only extends to calorie-restricted products to be used for a short period for time for the purpose of losing weight. Traditional “meal replacements” are often made of sugar, artificial sweeteners, water, thickeners, artificial flavourings and often chemically synthesised vitamins and minerals.

The range can safely be used to replace 1-2 meals/snacks a day on a long term basis. The rest of your meals and snacks that day should then be well-balanced with a wide variety of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, dairy or dairy-alternative, fruits and vegetables. 

Should you follow one of our nutrition plans such as EXALT Life you should return to well balanced meals after the plan has ended and ensure you have a break with well balanced eating before repeating another plan.

Essentially, our products provide a nutritional hit, in a bottle, on-the-go. 

You’ll find the phrase: “All Natural, No Compromise” on all of our bottles and we stand by that.

We never add artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, emulsifiers or stabilisers to our products. If we are looking to replicate any of these benefits in our range, then we will always use natural or naturally-derived ingredients to achieve the same results.

Our vegan range of  products do not use any ingredients containing gluten. Please check each product page for more information. There is a small risk of cross contamination from one of our suppliers of raw materials, but every effort has been made to limit any risk of cross contamination. For this reason, we do not claim to be totally ‘free-from’ these products.

We will soon be making out entire range gluten free and also have our range tested to be ab;e to use the Crossed Grain Trademark. 

Our products are GMO free. However there is a small risk of cross contamination from one of our suppliers of raw materials. Please check each product page for more information.

Our products are soy free. However there is a small risk of cross contamination from one of our suppliers of raw materials. Please check each product page for more information.

We use the best quality fruit (the sweeter the better) and vegetables (including the wonky ones) and some variation may occur as with any fresh seasonal produce.

This may also be due to your bottle which can have a different colour from batch to batch. This is due to the recycled plastic we use to limit the amount of new plastic being made into the environment. Have a read of our packaging page to find out more about what makes our bottles so special/different.

Most store-bought drinks don’t separate because they have stabilisers added in. We prefer to shake our juice rather than drink chemicals. We normally say 10 hard shakes does the trick.

It stands for High-Pressure Processing and means we place our juices in a tank of water and apply extremely high levels of pressure to remove potentially harmful bacteria, therefore extending shelf life without the use of preservatives. HPP is awesome for preserving the key vitamins, minerals and enzymes found in our juices that would be destroyed via the usual Ultra High Temperature (UHT) process.

All our recipes are developed by leading taste-experts, dieticians, nutritionists and fitness gurus, helping to combine great taste with maximum nutritional value. Each ingredient is chosen for a reason and brings extra benefits to a balanced active healthy lifestyle. Find out more about the EXALT expert panel.

Our primary aim is to provide natural, great-tasting products that help you perform your best, whatever your goal. With this in mind, we focus on the best possible quality ingredients to achieve these outcomes, and often this means using a mixture of organic and non-organic produce. We have found that in some instances organic is not always better. We continually evaluate the ingredients we use and always welcome your feedback as to how we might do things differently.

If you would like to check up on all the ingredients and nutritional values in each product you can do so by clicking on each product page or on the side of the bottles.

All of our bottles are labelled according to UK allergen regulations. You will find common allergens highlighted in bold.

We do not use peanuts in our products. We mostly use almonds and hazelnuts. Our facility handles nuts and other common allergens, meaning we cannot guarantee there will be no traces of nuts, even in products that may not directly contain them.

All but two are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding woman. Some of range contain high levels of caffeine (Type -A & Firestarter) so these should be avoided. But the information we provide should never supersede what a doctor tells a patient; it is important for pregnant women to consult a doctor before making any major lifestyle (diet/exercise) changes just to be on the safe side. 

The majority of our range is simply natural, whole foods which are then crushed and bottled. But the information we provide should never supersede what a doctor tells a patient; it is important for anyone that is unsure of has any underlying health conditions to consult a doctor before making any major lifestyle (diet/exercise) changes just to be on the safe side. See question above on pregnancy also.

While the benefits of each product and the component ingredients have been heavily researched by our panel of experts, these benefits are more for informational purposes rather than guarantees of any specific result. Everyone’s body is different and reacts in slightly different ways. If you are unsure, please consult a healthcare professional first.

All of our ready-to-drink products are made in a custom-built production facility which has SALSA certification along with with a 5-star food hygiene standard rating. Its sole purpose is to create our range to the highest possible food safety standards.

All of our products go through the following procedures to ensure they are both safe and match what you see on the label:

• Raw materials are only purchased from approved suppliers, who have passed a strict auditing process.
• All raw materials are tested for contaminants, heavy metals and harmful microorganisms.
• Raw materials are checked against product specifications before being tested.
  
• Products are visually inspected again during production.
• Raw materials are weighed and dispensed.
  
• Once blended, the products undergo Organoleptic (taste/visual/smell) testing to ensure they match our detailed product specifications, before final approval.

Over 80% of our range is vegan. Look for the vegan symbol, the word 'vegan' circled on our range page.

Yes. We’ve formulated all our blends with pea, hemp seed and pumpkin seed protein to include a complete range of amino acids. Visit our vegan protein blend page to find out more.

No. Our protein is water extracted and no Hexane, Acids or Alkalis are used in its extraction.

This is something we are currently working on. However, our first priority as a brand is to ensure that only the highest-quality ingredients are used in our products. Sometimes these ingredients are certified organic, but sometimes they are not. We take a holistic approach on this and review each ingredient that goes into our product on a case-by-case basis to ensure that there is a benefit to choosing organic ingredients.

For example, for some ingredients choosing organic can offer added nutritional value. However for others, choosing organic can create an additional environmental impact, due to the extra land needed to farm organic produce. This is why it’s so important we look at this as a whole as well as at a micro level so that we can understand the trade-off between environmental impact and nutritional benefit vs. simply ticking the organic box.

For orders that are made up of entirely vegan products we use insulation made from denim offcuts which would have otherwise gone to waste. This is 85% biodegradable and can either be reused as insulation for your next picnic or home composted (just remove the plastic liner for household recycling first). Check out some other great ways to reuse your packaging.

You can find out more about our commitment to sustainability and our Conscious Consumption framework. This covers our three areas of focus: 1) health & wellbeing, 2) our products & supply chain

You might have noticed that we use oat milk rather than almond milk in many of our products which was a deliberate decision to avoid using almond milk.

We originally started out using peanut butter, but annoyingly all of the HPP processing centres (cold-pasteurisation) are strictly peanut-free, as are all of the HPP plants in the UK.

We use reusable pallets using the CHEP scheme. These are used to send our products to HPP and we endeavour to use suppliers who are signed up to the scheme where possible. CHEP operate a pallet pooling system based on repair and reuse. Pallets, including damaged ones are collected and repaired before re-entering the pool. The CHEP pallet lifecycle reduces waste wood and the amount of wood in pallet manufacture. As such pallet’s will last up to 10 times longer than the white-wood equivalent.

The plastic we use for our bottles has lived a previous life as another bottle before it reaches us, and so each recycled bottle varies in colour and finish. Fortunately for us, we’re far more interested in what’s inside than we are in our looks, so we hope you can look past this - after all, it’s for a good cause.

So if you notice that your bottle looks a little unique, then don’t worry - this is perfectly normal, and it in no way compromises the quality, taste, safety or hygiene of the bottle. It really is as good as new. You can find out more about what makes our bottle special by visiting our dedicated packaging page.

This is an area that we are very passionate about and have spent a lot of time working with our sustainability experts on. It will always be a work in progress but everything is 100% recyclable and we also use as much previously recycled material as possible to create our packing. Visit our packaging page to find out more about how you can recycle or some great ideas to reuse the materials.

The insulation pouches are made from all-natural, British sheep's wool (or denim-offcuts if you are vegan), housed inside a recyclable, food-grade polyethylene.

We’d love it if you can find another use for them. The insulation and ice packs make perfect picnic companions. Check out some other great ways to give them another life.

Our responsibly-sourced wool is 100% biodegradable, while the denim is 85% biodegradable. While we would love it to be 100%, that is currently not possible unfortunately, but it is still good to know that this denim would have otherwise gone to landfill had it not been made into insulation first.

Even if our wool ends up on a landfill, it will still naturally biodegrade within 6-12 months, unlike polystyrene which hangs around on our planet for another million years or so.

We hope to launch a return scheme for the insulation later in the year.

In the meantime, you can mail them back to us and we will cover the cost of postage by taking it off your next order. Second class is perfect.Unit 4, R/O 394 Camden Road, London, N7 0SJ

We are continuing to set up our official returns service (no one is accepting application because of the pandemic right now) and will keep you posted when we launch the service.
