Venue: Gurgaon

Cold pressed juices are around for some time now and any health freak would swear by them. These juices are nutrient rich and are free of preservatives. Gurgaon has a big population of working couples with very little time to cook daily. No wonder the take out/ take away/home delivery industry is flourishing in this part of NCR. To balance unhealthy eating out options, a big segment of restaurateurs are working towards introducing healthy meals in various forms.

Zoe in Gurgaon is a home delivery service that caters to such clientele by providing them cold pressed juices, healthy meals, smoothies etc. We recently tried their cold pressed juices and parfaits. These are bottled juices with funky names like “Fire in Belly” and “Feel the Fuel” etc. The packaging is nice and modern. Each bottle has a mix of more than one healthy ingredient like sugarcane, chia seeds, coconut water, melon, rosemary etc. Not just healthy, these juices are tasty as well.

Parfaits are supplied in little glass jars. These are also made of nutritive ingredients like oats, yogurt, honey and exotic fruits. They have managed to create a right mix of taste and nourishment in these ones too. One jar is good enough for one person’s breakfast.

Zoe products are priced at around 150/- per item on their website www.zoe.menu Their products are available on subscription as well. You buy a subscription and you are set for a week or two.

Looks like most of their products are meant for immediate consumption and maybe that’s why we couldn’t see an expiry date on the products. Still an indication of the expiry on the bottle or jar would indeed help the consumers.

We are all for the healthy food trend that is catching up in Delhi NCR and would like such companies and products to surpass the sale of chips and instant noodles. But to really beat them and make these daily options, this sector will have to strengthen its marketing and price their products more reasonably.
