When food packs health with convenience, it only adds to its favour. But this writer also abides by the “healthy bhi, tasty bhi” expression. That’s why, when we chanced upon smoothie venture LQI’s (pronounced Liquii) DIY frozen smoothie packs — that promised to blend a hassle-free experience with health and taste — we were intrigued.

The range was released last year to offer quick and healthy smoothies at home. The eight flavour options include four core smoothie flavours (Rs 119 each) — custard apple, mango, strawberry, and banana and dates — and four indulgent flavours (Rs 129 to Rs 139), such as dragon pop with dragon fruit, blueberry kiss with blueberry, cranberry and sweet apple, love berry with strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and watermelon, and mixed fruits with mango, apple and guava.
