UK natural energy drink brand Tenzing has developed a new ‘Super Natural’ energy blend in ‘Fiery Mango’ flavour, designed specifically for the winter season.


The recipe has been crafted with nutritionists, designed to provide an energy boost through winter’s cold and dark months. It contains a blend of functional ingredients aiming to uplift consumers’ wellbeing at a time when vitamin D levels, energy levels, mood and immunity are low.


Initially introduced last month as a limited-time offering, the flavour is now being made permanent with a revamped, functional ‘Winter Edition’ recipe. It is the result of over a year of development, described as the brand’s ‘most powerful’ energy drink yet, containing 160mg of natural caffeine sourced from green coffee.


It also contains 100% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin D, sourced from pine trees, along with 173mg of magnesium from the Irish Sea, which activates the vitamin D. 500mg of lion’s mane is included to provide mood, immune boosting and antioxidant properties, while 16mg of vitamin C adds immune support. The flavour’s fiery kick is provided by 250mg of ginger, and 165mg electrolytes are packed into each can, sourced from Himalayan rock salt.


Huib van Bockel, founder of Tenzing, commented: “While other ‘winter editions’ in the energy drinks space merely focus on winter specific artificial flavourings, we have spent years crafting a drink that provides the functionality to boost the UK through the dark winter months, a time when energy and mood tends to be at its lowest”.


The drink is rolling out in Tesco stores nationwide from 1 November at an RRP of £2.25 per 330ml can, alongside Holland & Barret and WHSmith Travel stores. It will also be available on Tenzing’s webshop, Amazon, and select independent wholesalers including UNNU and Muscle Finesse Wholesale.

Ella’s Kitchen launches new children's snack range

Ella’s Kitchen is expanding beyond the baby food aisle with the launch of Ella’s Kitchen Kids, a new product line aimed at children aged 18 months and older.


The launch marks a significant strategic move for the brand as it looks to extend its presence beyond the weaning category and capture growing demand for healthier snack options for toddlers and young children.


Positioned as a “better-for-you” alternative to traditional children’s snacks, the new range combines bold flavours, playful branding and convenient formats with the nutritional standards parents associate with the Ella’s Kitchen brand.


The company said the range was developed in response to changing family eating habits and the lack of minimally processed snack options for older toddlers outside the baby aisle.


Initial products include Ella’s Kitchen Kids Crunchy Stix in Cheese + Onion, Tomato + Basil and Pesto varieties, alongside Ella’s Kitchen Kids Wild Crackers available in Tomato + Oregano, Pea + Basil and Carrot + Rosemary flavours.


Designed for lunchboxes, picnics and snacking occasions, the products are formulated with reduced salt levels and classified as non-HFSS options. According to the company, the Crunchy Stix contain less than 0.04g of salt per pack, while the Crackers contain less than 0.05g per serving.


Emma Wood, Senior Brand Manager at Ella’s Kitchen, said: “Ella’s Kitchen Kids is about recognising that the journey doesn’t stop at baby food. As little ones grow, their tastes, independence and routines all change – but parents still want options they can feel good about.”


The launch also signals Ella’s Kitchen’s wider ambitions within the children’s snacking market, with additional products and categories expected later this year.


Wood added that the company aims to help “raise the standards of the kids’ food category” by balancing taste, convenience and nutrition.
