There's rarely a situation where we don't feel like a smoothie. Post-workout? Perfect. On the way to work? Ideal. As a healthy snack? Absolutely.
And while there's no shortage of smoothie bars lurking on every corner to cure our immediate need for a blended-fruit fix, one thing we don't love is the price. From our research, AKA reviewing our bank statements—*cue the depressive music*—the average fresh blended smoothie comes in at around $15. Realistically, at that price, while smoothies are a healthy choice for our bodies, our wallets could do with some resusatation, and it's not a habit we really want to continue.
Of course, the obvious solution is to buy all the ingredients we need to make our smoothies at home. Still, once you add up the cost of a blender and some of the more expensive ingredients often found in our favourite smoothies, the per-serving savings don't add up to a whole lot less. Then factor in the time required, and suddenly your quick and convenient snack has become much less attainable.
That's where Welly comes in. Fresh to hit the health-food market, Melbourne-based brand Welly is setting out to help Aussies consume more fruit and veg in the best way they know how - through easy (and convenient) instant smoothies. If you've never heard of instant smoothies before, you might wonder how making a smoothie is even possible sans blender. In short, Welly uses a clever solution of freeze-dried powdered fruit and veg that's conveniently packaged in a single-serve sachet. 
This smart freeze-drying method lets Welly lock in nutrition, flavour and freshness without compromising convenience. All you have to do is tip the sachet into water or milk (depending on your flavour) and shake to enjoy.
With five smoothie flavours on offer, including Mocha, Berry and Green, there's something for everyone. Each instant smoothie sachet contains only 100% plants, with an additional promise of no added sugars (so only naturally occurring fructose), no artificial flavours or colours and absolutely no gluten.
Keen to try Welly out for yourself? The brand is offering 15% off your first order when you subscribe to their Variety Pack, allowing you to try out all five of their flavours for only $3.61 a smoothie. As a bonus, any 20-pack purchase comes with a complimentary bottle, perfectly designed to shake up your blends.
