Each week, we measure out your recipe packs and deliver straight to your door. These packs are designed to be blitzed up straight from frozen, meaning you don’t have to worry about the hassle of preparation. Simply blend and enjoy a delicious, nutritious smoothie in minutes.

Nutrition
Why is Justblitz better for me than... bottled smoothies from supermarket?
1 – Balanced & Customised
2 – Complete meal
3 – (Much) healthier per calorie
4 – Tastier
Well, that’s what we reckon. Though we might be biased.
Why is Justblitz better for me than... vitamin pills?
3 main reasons. First, our bodies absorb nutrients from natural foods much better than from artificial pills. This is called “bioavailability”. Your smoothie contains fruits, grains, seeds, veg, nuts and superfoods – all natural sources of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Second, while we have pills for headline nutrients & minerals we know about (e.g. vitamin B, C, calcium, iron etc.) natural superfoods provide hundreds (possibly thousands) more nutrients we need. Our bodies function much better (increased cognitive power, higher energy levels, better sleep, longer life expectancy, stronger immune system etc.). Third, we use a spread of different ingredients, superfoods and seeds so you don’t get the same thing day in/day out. Variety is key to getting a good “micronutrient profile spread” (i.e. you benefits of all foods, not just some). |
Should I take any supplements?
The natural vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients you get from a varied diet of seasonal (or frozen) foods (fruit, veg, nuts, superfoods etc.) are vastly more effective than pills. However the following 2 are rather useful.
|
Do you do any "low-fat" smoothies?
No. For 3 reasons. Fat doesn’t make you fatLow-fat was popular in the 80’s. But so was Footloose. Scientists have firmly established that eating too much food (not fat) makes you fat. You miss out on the good stuffFoods such as seeds, nuts and avocado contain fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) which bolster your immune system, skin health and a load of other useful stuff. They also contain good fats (mono & polyunsaturated fats & omega 3) which boost your brain. Fat can help burn fatFats in food (even saturated fats) help your body produce hormones that tell it to burn its own fat stores for energy. |

What are the nutritional macro profiles?
What are "phytonutrients"?
They are the main reason Justblitz smoothies help you feel and perform better.
While we know about (and can make in a lab) nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin B, calcium, magnesium etc., our bodies evolved regularly eating thousands of other natural molecules called “phytonutrients”. Most of these we don’t know about and can’t make in a lab. They are available in fresh or frozen natural foods (fruit, veg, nuts etc.).
We know our bodies use them in tiny amounts for for things like skin health, fighting disease and possibly thousands or millions of other functions.
These molecules are very delicate. As soon as you pick a strawberry, these phytonutrients start degrading. That’s why we use ingredients frozen at source – the phytonutrients are locked in till you blitz so you get maximal phytonutrient concentrations.
Bottled smoothies from supermarkets have to be pasteurised (heated) to give them sufficient shelf life. This removes phytonutrients so you get a fraction (possibly less than 1%) of the nutrients you’d have got if you’d blitzed the ingredients from frozen or within 2 hours of picking.
This is why replacing your daily breakfast with a Justblitz smoothie can help you feel & perform so much better. It gives you the stuff your body is evolved to function with but does not get from a Western diet.

Science
Why does the volume of my smoothie shrink throughout the day?
When you blend your smoothie the spinning blades trap and dissolve a small amount of air in the dense liquid. When you stop blending the air slowly starts to leave the liquid and the level goes down. This is also the reason it feels “fluffier” if you drink it right away and if you leave it a while it feels heavier. |
Delivery & Subscription
How do I change my delivery day?
Right now, we can only deliver on Fridays.
Reason? We’re still a young company and are not yet geared up to implement multi-day delivery. We’re working on it! This is obviously super inconvenient for many people, probably you if you’re reading this.
When we finally start offering more delivery days we’ll ping an email round to our subscribers to let them know and announce it on our social media pages. So subscribe here to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
What is your return policy?
How do I cancel an order/subscription?
Go to My Account > My Subscription > Cancel. Latest you can cancel is 3pm on the Sunday before your Friday delivery day. Hopefully we’ll be able to bring this down in time to give you more flexibility. To reactivate either log back into your account and click “Build box” (you’ll have to fill in the 28 sec questionnaire again – sorry!) or drop us an email at theteam@justblitz.com and we’ll reactivate for you. |
How do I pause my subscription?
- log back into your account and click “Build box” (you’ll have to fill in the 28 sec questionnaire again – sorry!) or
- drop us an email at theteam@justblitz.com and we’ll reactivate for you
What is the latest I can change my order?
Orders can be changed any time up to 3pm on the Sunday before your Friday delivery day. Sadly we cannot make any changes after this point as we would have to throw your prior order away (we don’t like food waste!) and start again. Hopefully we’ll be able to bring this down in time to give you more flexibility. To change your order go to My Account (https://justblitz.com/my-account/) > My Subscription > Change smoothies. |

What if my recipe packs have thawed?
We use special thermal packaging plus either dry ice or gel packs which will keep your packs frozen for up to 48 hours. If life gets in the way and they have slightly thawed by the time you get to them, check them. If the packs still contain ice crystals and feel as cold as if refrigerated (4 degrees c) you can safely refreeze and use as normal. (If they re-freeze into blocks bash them to break up before you put into blender.) If they are completely thawed you can refrigerate the packs for up to 48 hours (then discard) but do not re-freeze! If they thawed because the courier delivered them late please tell us theteam@justblitz.com and we’ll make it right. |
Fridge or freezer?
Store your recipe packs in the freezer. They taste best blended straight from frozen. |

Packs, Recipes & Ingredients

Allergens
Nut allergy safe?
Can I use just a bit of the pack?
Why do you put vegetables in your smoothies?
Kale's good for you. Why don't you use kale?
Because it tastes foul in smoothies. OK not that bad. But we did hundreds (literally) of taste tests with kale. Its taste is much stronger than other veg so the amount you can add before taste overpowers is way under amount you need for it to be beneficial. So we use other veg. Tastes better, more nutrients. (Yes, we know that other companies have lovely smoothies with kale in. Inside info: there isn’t much kale in there….) |
Will Justblitz fill me up?
Yes. Your recipes are high protein and some have slow release carbs meaning you feel fuller for longer.
Can I just have one of the same flavour?
Of course! Everyone has their favourite. Though do try and have variety once in a while so you get the benefits of having lots of different ingredient nutritional profiles.
My smoothie recipes are way nicer than yours. Can you make them for me?

What's in the recipes?
Time for some Smoothie Science. Some recipes contain over 23 ingredients! There are 7 ingredient types we put in each to get the perfect smoothie. Fruit Because it’s delicious. And good for you. Veg We add just enough to add depth of flavour. Adds phytonutrients (good) without adding calories. Good fats Usually nuts (peanuts, cashews or hazelnuts work best) and/or avocado. Gives a delicious smooth texture. Contributes monounsaturated fats which are great for your hormones. Grains Such as homemade muesli, oats, rye flakes and brown rice flakes. Gives breakfasty ‘crunch’ and makes you feel fuller for longer. Protein Our natural protein boosts taste, provides amino acids and makes you feel fuller. Win, win, win. Milled seeds Provide a satisfying ‘bite’ to smoothie texture. Milled (crushed) for better digestion. Source of brain-boosting omega 3! Superfoods We add as much as we can to each recipe before it starts tasting odd. Reason: we want to maximise the “nutrient density” (about of micronutrients, minerals and phytonutrients per calorie) of each smoothie so you derive maximal benefit from it. |

Making your smoothies
How do I make my smoothie?
Can I add something other than water?
Yes! Justblitz tastes great with just water but we love it when our customers experiment. Jonnie (one of our packers) uses cranberry juice. Our Digital Marketing Guru Jess alternates between almond milk and runny low-fat yoghurt. Our founder Charlie adds two-thirds fridge-cold water, one-third semi-skimmed milk. But he’s odd. Adding liquid with calories in it (i.e. anything other than water) will change the nutritional profile of your smoothie. But that’s fine as long as you take it into account! Do you have a preference?

Can I add my own ingredients?
Your recipes are horrible. I would like to berate you.
My smoothie looks a bit brown?
I left my smoothie in the fridge for a few hours and it has split into layers. Can I drink it?
My blender keeps jamming!
Here are potential causes:
|
How long will my smoothie last after I blend it?
If you don’t drink immediately just put in fridge or thermos flask/bottle and it’ll be good for at least 6 hours. The layers will separate but that’s completely natural. Give it a good shake and you’re good to go. Bottled smoothies last longer because they are pasteurised (removing many of the nutrients). |
What blender do you recommend?
We’ve burned out lots of blenders in our quest for the Ultimate Smoothie! For most people we recommend at least a 1000 watt NutriBullet or equivalent with a min 750ml cup. The bigger and more active you are, the bigger your smoothie will be. Serious smoothie blitzers and those on larger (>400kcal) recipes should look at more substantial ones with over 1 litre cups (such as Vitamix S30). |
What equipment do I need?
1 – A freezer.
2 – A blender.
That’s it. Use a thermos flask if you want to take your smoothie with you and keep it ice cold.
