Healthy Alternatives To Coffee

Here at Fruit For The Office HQ, we all love a good coffee fix in the morning. However, sometimes we just don't want all that caffeine, and it's always good to have a change.

We have found the best healthy alternatives to coffee, so you can still get your hot drink fix....

Peppermint Tea
A great herbal tea which also helps the digestive process, is naturally caffeine-free and refreshing.

Chai Tea
Native to India, this soothing beverage is commonly made with rich black tea, milk, and a variety of spices, like cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom. A steaming hot mug of chai tea will help you get over an afternoon hump. An added bonus? Though you're automatically cutting your caffeine intake by drinking chai, the tea’s smooth, creamy flavor tricks your mind into thinking that it’s coffee!

 Lemon and Hot Water
This drink helps flush out toxins from the body, is a great source of Vitamin C, and aids digestion. You could even add a sprig of mint, to double the benefits.

Dandelion Root Coffee 
Supposedly the closest taste you can get to coffee, this unsual herbal tea is often used as a coffee subsitute. The roasted dandelion pieces give it its coffee-look. It also has the benefits of being cleansing for the liver.

Green Tea
This beverage has become known as the healthiest coffee alternative thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants. Green tea does contain caffeine, but a smaller amount than your regular cup of coffee, so you don't end up with the same jittery side effects.

Create a Healthy Workplace!

We often find that our customers want to organise an event to promote healthy eating at work, but don't have the tools. Budget? Which fruits? How many pieces? Will it catch on?

Look no further, Fruit for the Office is here to provide all the information that you need to get HR, your CEO and staff on board.

We offer a bespoke order service so that you can select the fruits and quantities that you receive. You could order 152 lemons so that your company could all try a detox water, if you wanted to! We also offer set boxes, for if you want a variety of basic, handheld fruits to suit all tastes.

Call us on 0800 019 4037 for advice, or a quote, based on your requirements and number of staff! 

Here's your persuasive email to the bosses:

"Hi *insert name here*,

I'm emailing to enquire about organising a healthy eating event at our office.

I've researched into the benefits of having fruit available for staff to eat whilst working and have found that it can improve morale, motivate staff, reduce breaks, increase production and promote wellness; which in turn will reduce illness/sick leave.

I'd like to arrange for the following, to be delivered on *insert delivery date here*:
*insert contents based on your requirements here*

The total cost is £*insert quotation figure here*, which I'm sure you will agree is a small fee to pay for healthier, happier employees.

FFTO are happy to supply supporting documents used to promote the goodness of the fruits that we will be receiving. We could distribute these around the office to educate the staff and get everyone involved on the day. 

If all goes well, we could look into arranging a weekly delivery. Fruit for the Office can also arrange for other supplies too, such as milk, water and breakfast cereals.

Please let me know your thoughts?

Best regards
*insert name here*"

That's the hard part over - once they're on board (we're sure they'll love your idea) just call, or email us; info@fruitfortheoffice.co.uk. We'll set the order up, no fuss! OR you can easily place your order online.

Send an all staff email around to drum up a buzz for your delivery date. Get them excited to receive a colourful, fresh delivery of fruit as opposed to the usual biscuits and donuts on occasion.
