Easy and healthy smoothies with Helen Leland, founder of The Bomb Co.
Your go-to smoothie from your favorite fast food spot may not be as healthy as you think. In fact, many pre-made, commercial smoothies are filled with additional sweeteners that end up increasing their sugar content.
Helen Leland, founder of The Bomb Co., recognized this and went on a mission to start something different to provide people with truly healthy and convenient smoothies.
"I got the idea in 2017 when I saw my personal training clients struggle with nutrition, losing weight, and actually keeping it off."
She started putting all the superfoods together, rolling them into a ball, and testing the recipe that same day — and then Blender Bombs and The Bomb Co. were born.
"It took me about a week to get the final recipe and then I went to Costco, bought the ingredients in bulk, and started making them in my kitchen. I gave them to my clients as gifts for the first few months before it became a business."
Below, Helen tells us the difference in Blender Bombs and why it's important to double check the ingredients.
Q. What are Blender Bombs?
A. Blender Bombs are an all-in-one superfood ball that transforms smoothies into a delicious meal, helping you look, feel, and be your best. You just drop one into your smoothie and blend.
This perfect fiber, fat, and protein blend is what allows the BB smoothie to be a meal replacement. We have recieved countless testimonials about how Blender Bomb smoothies have helped our customers with weight loss, managing PCOS, healing their gut issues, helping with constipation, helping with breastmilk production, helping balance hormones, and more. It truly is incredible the power that one little bomb has in it.
Q. Why is it important to check smoothie ingredients?
A. It’s important to check smoothie ingredients because these companies try to hide junk in all of their food: gums that disrupt many people’s gut health, synthetically made “natural” flavors, preservatives, syrups, and they may even add an extra 700 calories in peanut butter with added seed oils. It is wild.
No wonder smoothies have a bad reputation, and we’re here to turn that around. Blender Bombs are made with all real ingredients — no fake stuff added.
Q. What’s your favorite Blender Bomb currently?
A. The hardest question. Currently, I am obsessed with Peanut Butter Blast Blender Bombs. I always do one cup fruit, one cup of veggies, one Blender Bomb, one tbsp. extra peanut butter, and whatever supplements I take that day (collagen, greens powder, etc).
I love the way the PB Blast Bomb adds a subtle peanut butter flavor to all.
