The Evive Forest Continues to Grow https://blog.evivenutrition.ca/en/news/the-evive-forest-continues-to-grow/ https://blog.evivenutrition.ca/en/news/the-evive-forest-continues-to-grow/#respond Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:48:58 +0000 https://blog.evivenutrition.ca/?p=6408 For Evive’s 4th anniversary in 2019, Claudia and I decided to start the Plant a Tree initiative – where we […]

For Evive’s 4th anniversary in 2019, Claudia and I decided to start the Plant a Tree initiative – where we contribute to planting new forests. To implement this project, we proudly partnered with Compensation CO2 Québec.

Compensation CO2 Québec is formed of forestry and environmental professionals. The team ensures the implementation and the rigorous monitoring of many reforestation projects.

In 2020 and 2021, thanks to your new purchases of boxes of 25 Evive products, we were able to contribute to plant 2 new mixed forests in the Eastern Townships. These forests allow us to offset a portion of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our operations.

Every tree has its place

The development of each forest requires several steps to ensure its success, starting with proper plant site location. This step helps guarantee the success and optimal growth of each plantation.

The survival rate of the plantations is then measured at least twice during the first 5 years following their reforestation. In the event of unhealthy trees, CO2 Compensation Québec will replace the latter to ensure that the carbon offset objectives are met.

In order to reduce our environmental footprint, the first action we have taken is the reforestation of the 8,375 trees making up the first Evive forests.

We will continue in 2022 with the reforestation of at least 4,000 additional trees.

Reforestation is a proven and effective method of carbon offsetting. It creates new forests while providing multiple ecological benefits. These mixed forests are beneficial for fauna, flora and they bring ecological diversity to the land. They also create a local economic contribution through reforestation work, the necessary technical monitoring and eventually provide labor for the teams of silvicultural workers during the forest development projects that will be carried out. Once the trees reach maturity, the harvested wood will be used for various purposes including construction and home renovation. The wood and the carbon it contains will be retained for a much longer period of time.

Evive is committed to minimizing its ecological and environmental footprint not only through carbon offsetting, but also through purchasing organic ingredients, reducing food waste and using recyclable and compostable packaging.

Evive forests are a source of life and we are proud to contribute to the implementation of these new mixed forests. The GHG sequestration associated with them supports our environmental action and our desire to have a positive impact on our community.

Since 2018, Evive has partnered with Breakfast Club of Canada to help prevent children from going to school on an empty stomach. In the last 4 years, we’ve had the pleasure of organizing many initiatives with the Club, such as public fundraisers, distributing smoothies in schools, as well as yearly campaigns. 

We would like to invite you to join us again to help support children & families with Breakfast Club of Canada. With every order, we’re giving breakfasts* to kids in need.

Evive Partners with Breakfast Club of Canada

In the last year, the Club has seen a significant increase in attendance and need for additional breakfast programs. With increasing grocery costs, Canadians are changing their food buying habits, making the challenge of purchasing & consuming healthy food options that much harder. The Club needs to ensure it can continue to reach the considerable number of children that have benefitted from these programs over the past year.

Breakfast Club of Canada helps feed more than 500,000 children in over 3,000 programs in academic and community settings across the country.

Positive impacts of breakfast programs:

  • Create a caring and inclusive school community
  • Improve learning capacities
  • Alleviate hunger-related stress
  • Boost attendance and punctuality
  • Foster a sense of engagement and belonging

The goal of this initiative is to make healthy eating more accessible; a mission that both Evive and Breakfast Club of Canada strives to accomplish.

Our goal: $50,000 worth of breakfast smoothies 

Let’s give children the opportunity to start their school day with a nutritious breakfast. Together, we can make a difference!

We’re so humbled by YOU, our community, that never misses an opportunity to help support a good cause. Thank you!

*Evive will donate 1 smoothie to Breakfast Club of Canada for each box of 15 products, and 2 smoothies for each box of 25 products. Applicable from April 4th to 30th, 2022.

From developing smoothie flavours in my parents’ kitchen to becoming the first-ever frozen smoothie cubes and #1 smoothie brand in Canada, we couldn’t be prouder to share an easy, quick, and nutritious breakfast option with thousands of people on a daily basis. 

It’s so funny to think that not that long ago, Dom used to cut the cubes by hand and pack them loosely in a bag! Our wheels are probably our best innovation as they allow you to save space in your freezer, portion-size, and ensure that the cubes don’t clump up together during transportation. 

Whether you recently discovered our products in your grocery store, or just ordered your very first box, this article will give you all the steps to get the very best out of your Evive smoothie taste-testing journey!

Before you get started, we always recommend that you run your smoothie wheel under water for a few seconds. It makes it so much easier to pop the cubes out!

Make your smoothie WITHOUT a blender

  1. Pop all the cubes in a bottle, a mason jar or your Evive shaker.
  2. Cover the cubes with 240 ml of your liquid of choice (we recommend plant-based milk or water) and close the lid.
  3. Let thaw for a few minutes & shake vigorously (play your favourite song while you do it!).

How to Make an Evive Smoothie

Make your smoothie WITH a blender

  1. Pop the cubes in your blender.
  2. Cover the cubes with 240 ml of your liquid of choice (check out all our liquid recommendations for inspo!). 
  3. Close the lid and blend away.

How to Make an Evive Smoothie

Need a few tips to get your ultimate smoothie texture? Here are some suggestions:


Refreshing Smoothie (juice-like texture): 1 Evive wheel + 240 ml of water or juice

Creamy Smoothie (healthy milkshake): 1 Evive wheel + half a frozen banana + 240 ml of plant-based milk

Smoothie Bowl (add your fave toppings!): 1 Evive wheel + 150 ml of plant-based milk
Pssst!: If you’re looking to make a thick and creamy smoothie bowl, check out our fave tips and tricks

Whichever preparation method you prefer to use, don’t forget the last and most important step of all: enjoy EVERY SINGLE SIP of your Evive smoothie!

Green smoothies are an easy way to get a good dose of veggies, nutrients, and vitamins in your body. Although their green colour isn’t appealing to everyone, their benefits are amazing, and with the right recipe, they actually taste delicious too! You might not have all the ingredients on hand to create your own complete green smoothie on the daily, so our frozen smoothie cubes take care of all that for you.

I’m a huge fan of green smoothies, and I’m really proud that we’re able to offer you 2 different options within our line: Pure and Yogi. Both green smoothies taste different, but are equally AMAZING thanks to their superfoods!

Yogi

This rich green smoothie will restore your energy and is filled with nutritious ingredients such as: banana, pear, plant-based protein, spinach, hemp seeds, kale, parsley, and lemon! Moreover, the spirulina ensures that this smoothie contains a good amount of vitamin B, which supports cell renewal.

Easy & Delicious Green Smoothie Recipes
Taste profile: Earthy & comforting
Plant-Based Protein: 10 g
Star Superfood: Hemp seeds
Highlights: Excellent source of vitamin K, D, & E

Pure

Our Pure smoothie is filled with healthy fats thanks to the coconut cream and avocado. It also contains ginger, which aids digestion and alleviates PMS. If you’re a matcha fan, you’ll love this smoothie! The addition of matcha and mango makes it especially energizing.

Easy & Delicious Green Smoothie Recipes
Taste profile: Creamy & sweet
Plant-Based Protein: 8 g
Star Superfood: Chlorella
Highlights: 18.2 mg of caffeine (matcha)

Whether you’re already a green smoothie lover like me, or have never given it a try, I’m positive you’ll love at least one of our green smoothies!

With 15 different flavours available online, you can enjoy a totally different smoothie every day. Did you know that you could even create new smoothie flavours with your Evive cubes? Mixing 2 different flavours together can give you so many new and exciting options! Here are some of the team’s most delicious Evive smoothie cube combos.

We love to mix & match smoothies from our Energizing line with cubes from our Extra Protein line to enhance our protein intake. All Extra Protein smoothies contain 15 to 18 g of protein per wheel, while our Energizing line contains 6 to 10 g.

The Most Delicious Evive Smoothie Cube Combos

Touk-Touk + Passion Mango

The ideal combo on those gloomier and colder days. Every sip will remind you of summer.

Mix it up with coconut water or unsweetened almond milk. If you prefer to use a blender, you could even add a handful of frozen mangoes.

The Most Delicious Evive Smoothie Cube Combos

Asana + Blueberry Haskap

A berry-licious combo! An absolute go-to whatever the mood.

Simply mix with your favourite plant-based milk (I like oat milk). That could even be a great combo to make a delicious nice cream recipe!

The Most Delicious Evive Smoothie Cube Combos

Azteque + Cashew Mocha

The perfect combo to satisfy that chocolate craving no matter the time of day!

Add a splash of cashew milk to the mix and voilà! Serve this as a smoothie bowl and top with slices of strawberries and bananas: it’ll taste just like your fave iced chocolate dessert!

Wondering how you could create your own delicious smoothie cube combo?

Have a look at the ingredients list of each flavour. Even though all our smoothies are different from one another, some have main ingredients that pair perfectly together. 
That’s also a great tip if you like to mix your cubes with juice, yogurt or frozen fruits!

Our last and most important tip: Have fun with it! Don’t hesitate to send us your creations and share them on social media. If you do, feel free to tag us (@evivenutrition) so we can see them!
