New British Smoothie Champion crowned at lunch!

Now in its third year, the live British Smoothie Championships 2011, sponsored by Magrini, returned to lunch! this year with yet another thrilling battle of the blenders. Congratulations go to Silvie Parcot from Crussh who took the title and prize with her delicious smoothie ‘Pomegranate Passion Pleasure’; which was made by combining pomegranate, banana, mango, pineapple, pineapple juice, passion fruit and yogurt. 

After knocking out defending champion (and pre-event favourite) Vimal DePala from Shaketastic in the first heat, Parcot went on to beat Oliver Wilson-Fish, co-owner of Lancaster-based Juicafe, and Daniel Gentely, owner of Elephant Juice Bar in EC1, to win the title of nation’s best.  Aside from winning a wealth of industry kudos, Parcot took away the prize of a Vitamix Quiet One Blender worth over £1000.

“I feel really proud to have won the British Smoothie Championship for Crussh.  It is a real achievement for Crussh and a true reflection of our success in the industry! We’ve always been told that we do the best smoothies by our customers and it’s really nice to be publicly recognised now as well!”

Silvie Parcot, Crussh
