Look at what’s just landed 🫒🥰

You may have noticed that our refill olive oil has recently rebranded from Aeithalis to Zoi, which means “Life” in Greek! It still exactly the same olive oil, regeneratively farmed, single origin and sourced directly from the grower.

Zoi makes what they think is the most sustainable olive oil in the world!�Closed loop, chemical free and certified regenerative.�Regenerative farming actively restores soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem function rather than just sustaining it.�Delicious, full of antioxidants & polyphenols, and owned by the grower. Remarkably good value too!

And it tastes exceptionally delicious with our sourdough bread - life’s simple pleasures 😍

As part of the rebrand, Zoi have produced a limited run of pre-bottled extra virgin olive oil - certified organic and regeneratively farmed. It makes a great present and will hopefully raise their brand awareness as we are all very proud of what they’ve achieved ❤️

Pop in for your bottle, and then refill when you run out 🙌🏼

It’s gonna be another scorcher today so how do you make sure you stay properly hydrated? Bit of a science lesson below but this stuff really helps! Keep it in your day bag alongside an insulated flask of icy water and just add each time you refill your bottle 🙌🏼

Refuel your liquids, support muscles and aid recovery without any added carbs, sugars, or any artificial ingredients. Electrolyte Fix contains four essential electrolytes – magnesium, which contributes to electrolyte balance as well as a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, potassium, which contributes to normal muscle function, sodium and chloride. Electrolyte Fix instantly turns water or any beverage into an electrolyte-fuelled drink.

Viridian’s Electrolyte Fix is an intense electrolyte liquid, sourced from the Great Salt Lake, Utah in the USA. Electrolytes are mineral salts which are present in the body’s blood, fluid, and tissues. They carry an electric charge and therefore can affect the blood’s pH and muscle function. Mineral salts include sodium, chloride, magnesium and potassium and these are involved in balancing the fluid throughout the body including the volume of fluid within the blood.

Water movement is controlled by the concentration of electrolytes on either side of the cell membrane. Heat and exercise increase fluid loss through sweat, which if not replaced leads to dehydration. This in turn impairs performance as blood volume decreases and body temperature increases, thus putting extra strain on the heart and lungs. The loss of fluid will also lead to an electrolyte imbalance as sodium and potassium are lost through the skin. This imbalance can cause a disruption to the cell’s ability to carry electrical charges.

Viridian’s Electrolyte fix contains all the necessary electrolytes in an ionic form as well as all other minerals naturally present in sea water.

Who’s enjoying the heat and half term? Never thought I’d say those two things in the same sentence 😂

Well the chocolate is definitely not enjoying the heat in the shop so in order to stop it running away we’ve made the decision to move it out the shop into my stores where it is significantly cooler! This means there will be no chocolate available in store for at least tomorrow but possibly longer! Please order any chocolate you want by 9am tomorrow morning and I will prepare it all in advance and keep it in a cool bag!

It’s also sourdough tomorrow - You can order bread, chocolate and much more online at www.goinggreenuk.co.uk

We will also probably close early tomorrow at 2pm - it’s just a bit unbearable after that so please pop in earlier while it’s still a bit cooler.

Thanks for your understanding xx

✨ THIS absolutely made our evening ✨

“If you buy just one thing - try the cinnamon buns, if you buy two things, the cinnamon buns and one of the freshly baked loaves, three things - add some coffee to your basket. What a brilliant brilliant local store - so pleased Wantage can offer quality shops such as these - we love Going Green. We visit you each Saturday during our Saturday morning shopping routine - and it’s the highlight.”

Honestly… this is why we keep doing what we do, even when times feel hard 🥹
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review on our Google profile 🥰

And the good news?
👩🏻‍🍳 Beatrice the baker is BACK from her holiday, so sourdough and pastries return this Wednesday & Saturday 🎉

That means:
🥐 Cinnamon buns
🍞 Fresh sourdough loaves
☕ Beautiful coffee
…all back together again like a delicious friend’s reunion.

Preorders are highly recommended to avoid disappointment, especially for the cinnamon & cardamom buns which tend to vanish at suspicious speed 👀 🤭

And finally, if you’ve enjoyed shopping with us, we’d be hugely grateful if you could leave us a quick Google review. It genuinely makes a massive difference in helping more people discover our little shop 💚🙌🏼

One of the reasons why I choose organic where I can, but particularly for grains….food should be our medicine, not our poison 😥
