Blenders Pride

A vegan herself, Marisa Paolillo, founder of Angel Foods and master blender, promises that her smoothies are a far cry from the limited options available in the market; made from non-dairy products, they come minus preservatives or sugar, boasting fresh organic fruits like bananas, papayas, pomegranate, and avocados (these vary according to availability).With over 50 recipes tried and tested, her repertoire makes for some unlikely blend partners, like strawberry and nut, almond and milk, peaches and beaten cream. Slurrp! 

As Per Your Waist

Marisa also customises based on dietary constraints: for instance, she can swap out bananas for a more low-cal fruit or pump in additional proteins. Home delivery service is available with a minimum three-day sign up, or you can pick-up a single shake from her kitchen at Malabar Hill. For a first taste, however, try her recipe below:
