HEALTH BENEFITS: Passion fruit is thought to do all sorts of good work for the body. It stimulates digestion, boosts immune function, increases skin health, regulates fluid balance in the body, lowers blood pressure, boosts circulation, and improves bone mineral density.
Furthermore, it can reduce signs of premature aging, lessen inflammation and improve sleeping habits.

  • 50ml passion fruit puree
  • 15ml agave nectar
  • Half a passion fruit to serve
  • Slinky Mojito

HEALTH BENEFITS: The key ingredient: mint, is great for your digestive system. Just the smell of freshly crushed mint leaves and your stomach issues can be alleviated.
Mint is a natural stimulant, and the smell alone can be enough to charge your batteries and get your brain functioning on a high level again.
