An organic sugar-free soft drink that really is healthy

If your little ones can’t resist a fizzy or fruity drink, then indulge guilt-free with PS Organic.

There are many factors that make sipping on a soft drink simply irresistible: it’s hot outside and you want to cool off, the kids are attending a classmate’s birthday party and want to have a glass to celebrate, ice-cream spiders are a big hit in your household, or you are short on time and you want to treat your guests to a non-alcoholic drink that’s more exciting than plain old water. Whatever the reason, there’s no denying that soft drinks are a hit with sweet-toothed little ones. So how do parents let their family indulge guilt-free? That’s where PS Organic come in.

The organic difference

For generations, the PS Organic family have been passionate about people, principles and the planet. The brand’s range of delicious products only contain natural ingredients grown as organically as possible.

By growing fewer plants per hectare, PS Organic allows each plant to extract more minerals from the ground needed to grow. Above the surface, this allows more sunlight to reach the fruit, which plays a key role in the development of vitamins and phytonutrients. Past usage of the land and surrounding areas is also taken into account. The end result is that organic foods are healthier for the consumer and for the Earth.

Fizzy fun

Studies show that refined sugar is hidden in many foods and beverages. Soft drinks are often a key culprit. A single-serve of some soft drinks can have up to 40 grams of sugar. This is almost double the healthy recommended daily amount by the World Health Organisation. Excess refined sugar intake is a key cause of obesity, which can lead to heart disease and cancer, among other health issues such as diabetes and tooth decay.

PS Organic Soft Drinks are one of the only recommended options by world-leading doctor John Tickell. Not only are they sugar-free, but also free from artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners. They are sweetened naturally with herbal stevia and xylitol (found in plant fibres). Plus, the organic ingredients have not been exposed to any toxic pesticides or herbicides in the farming process.

Appetizing alternatives

Of course, there is no better way to start off the day than with a tall glass of juice. Loaded up with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (such as the all-important vitamin C, polyphenols and carotenoids), PS Organic Fruit Juices come in a variety of flavours – including orange, apple, mango orange and pineapple – and taste so fresh, you’d think they’d been blended straight from the orchard. What’s more, the Organic Therapy range can help you target specific areas of your well-being, featuring products with names such as ‘Immunity’ and ‘Energy Boost’.

And don’t worry, mums, dads and trendy teens haven’t been forgotten either – PS Organic also offers a variety of kombuchas. In case you have missed the memo, this fermented beverage has taken the world by storm in recent years, now seen everywhere from supermarkets shelves to workplace refrigerators. This is in large part due to its far-reaching health benefits, which are the same as tea and include aiding digestion and enhancing immune function. Naturally, tea itself might be more your cup of tea (no pun intended), so the PS Organic Iced Tea is also an excellent choice for boosting metabolism and promoting heart and brain health.

5 reason to buy organic

1. No chemicals, fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides Since many pesticides don’t target just one specific pest, they can potentially harm all sorts of organisms – good or bad.
2. Minimal impact on the local fauna and flora Organic farming methods use natural fertilisers and beneficial organisms to increase their yield.
3. Creating employment Organic growing areas requite more hands-on work to keep threatening factors under control.
4. Fighting climate change Organic farming also returns more carbon to the soil, which in turn, lessens global warming.
5. Food quality Organic produce has been found to have higher levels of vitamins, minerals, healthy fatty acids and phytonutrients
