As the new year brings chilly mornings and post-festive fatigue, a welcome boost of vibrant nutrition is hitting the streets of the capital. The healthy recipe box company, Mindful Chef, is launching a travelling pop-up smoothie bar, touring key London locations throughout January to offer commuters and residents a delicious and purposeful pit stop.
Functional Blends for a Balanced Boost
The mobile bar's menu is carefully crafted with whole ingredients, designed to support various wellness goals without compromising on taste. Each smoothie serves a specific function, moving beyond a simple refreshment to a nutritious supplement for a busy lifestyle.
Options include the Peanut Butter Protein smoothie, blending banana, dates, pea protein, and peanut butter with oat milk for a filling, post-workout choice. The vivid Blue Spirulina mix combines tropical fruits with antioxidant-rich superfood, while the Get The Glow smoothie offers a Vitamin C hit from mango, pineapple, kale, and avocado, boosted with vegan protein and sunflower seeds.
For those seeking natural energy support, the Major Mango Power smoothie pairs mango, pineapple, and passion fruit with adaptogenic ashwagandha. The Berry Gut Boosting blend focuses on digestive health, combining strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries with chia seeds and fermented soya.
Tour Dates, Locations and Tasting Opportunities
The pop-up will visit several spots across the city and beyond, providing a convenient healthy option. Smoothies start from £5.90, and visitors will have the chance to sample the menu for free at each location.
Each cup will also feature a QR code, offering customers the opportunity to win a bundle of healthy prizes. The confirmed schedule for the tour is as follows:

A Nutritious Start to the New Year
This initiative by Mindful Chef directly addresses the common January slump, providing accessible, flavourful nutrition on the go. By taking their smoothie bar on tour, they are meeting customers where they are—during their commute or shopping trips—and promoting a balanced approach to healthy eating as the new year begins. The pop-up serves as both a convenient service and a tangible introduction to the brand's wider philosophy of simple, ingredient-focused eating.
