Post-Easter Weekend Detox: How to stay full whilst simultaneously maintaining a healthy diet

Following an extended weekend of Easter indulgence, it might be that many are considering a post-holiday detox. Having deservedly consumed plenty of chocolate and the occasional seasonal tipple, it is no easy switch to swap the Pimms for a green juice. Though the traditional and trusted methods of cleaning the body from toxins by staying hydrated, consuming less salt and reducing alcohol intake are rewarding, it is difficult to stay satiated and energised without our regular vices. The question lies, how do we stay nutritionally balanced whilst simultaneously ingesting all essential nutrients to maintain a detox?

Welcoming an emerging category to the nutritional market, named ‘Smart Food’ – yfood – the market leader for complete foods, offers a new and diverse way to stay satiated, satisfied and energised for longer. Their Smart Food solution advocates for greater awareness of maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet anytime and anywhere. Containing essential dietary fibre and increased protein content, as well as vitamins and minerals, yfood drinks are the equivalent of a balanced meal.

Below are the ways in which you can contribute to a nutritionally balanced diet:

1. By eating a fruit or vegetable alongside your complete food product you will positively influence your satiation levels

2. Drinking at a slower rate supports higher inter-meal satiety

3. The length of time you feel full is dependent on your height and level of activity – therefore, consuming a sufficient amount i.e. increased levels of protein if you are taller, then you will likely feel more satisfied for a longer period

What is ‘Smart Food’ and yfood?
yfood occupies a yet unheard of nutritional category named ‘Smart Food’, a concept, still very much in its infancy that aims to raise awareness and facilitate balanced nutrition that is appropriate to all life situations.

Now available in Holland & Barrett, yfood has established itself as the market leader in the Smart Food category in Germany, and is quickly emerging in the UK market. Since the launch of yfood Labs GmbH in Munich in 2017, Ben Kremer and Noel Bollmann have been revolutionising the food industry with their products. Innovative “complete food” in the form of drinks, bars, powders, and hot bowls represents a new way of eating that perfectly fits today’s modern lifestyle. All yfood products are balanced, fully mobile (drink) meals and thus combine fast-paced nutrition with a conscious diet.

The special feature here is the “Complete Nutrition” approach pursued by yfood. It means that the products contain all the essential micro and macronutrients that the body needs – without compromising on taste. The company also focuses on sustainability; yfood takes care of a respnsible use of resources and has been a climate-neutral company since 2021. The products are currently sold in more than 30 European markets, including the UK, France, and the Netherlands.

How yfood works:
For those who have the best dietary intentions but don’t have the time, yfood is a nutritionally complete food in the form of protein powders, bars, and their signature drinks which range from Coffee, Banana, Coconut and many more flavours, available to purchase here. One serving (500 ml) of yfood provides consumers with around 34 g of protein, which is 68% of your daily protein needs, as well as containing 26 different vitamins and minerals and plenty of fibre.

Noel Bollmann, CEO and co-founder of yfood comments:
“People want to eat simply but healthy. We make that possible by offering foods with a full nutritional profile that can be consumed quickly and easily at any time. Our products fall under a completely new category called Smart Food. They are based on nutritional as well as technological insights and enable people to eat a balanced diet anytime, anywhere.
