Followers of Coppa della Maga would know that our brand not only stands for healthy food and indulgence, but also for the importance of a well-balanced, mind- and soul- fulfilling lifestyle in order to care for our mental health. Besides from good nutrition, our overall wellbeing and happiness is dependent on other factors such as our work-life balance, physical activity, how mindful we are and who we surround ourselves with. Today 1 in 4 people suffer from a mental health disorder. Unlike stress that typically has a specific trigger, anxiety may appear out of the blue, leaving the sufferer in a constant state of apprehension and fear. Anxiety can affect people physically, psychologically and behaviourally.
Anxiety attacks can often occur at night. During a normal busy day, running from one meeting to the next and juggling multiple tasks, the brain is simply too busy to worry and feel anxious. At night, however, when there is a lack of distraction, we are forced to confront our thoughts. What makes things harder is people often become their own worst enemy and predict an anxiety attack before it’s begun, this can then lead to a very vicious cycle. That’s why it’s extremely important to learn different strategies which aim to keep anxiety under control.The good news is that there is a biological explanation behind anxiety and it is something people can overcome.
Well, if you haven’t that’s the right moment you do!
Every autumn we suggest a recipe for one of our favourite and most unusual flavour combinations: pumpkin soup with Coppa della Maga ice cream. Pumpkin soup is classically served with a spoonful of cream, but since our ice cream is not too sweet, it’s the perfect accompaniment to savoury dishes e.g. curries and stews. Try this one:
We are delighted to share the news about the latest recognition we have received: this year at ANUGA, the largest international food show in the world, our Vegan Matcha Green Tea ice cream was selected by a jury of food experts as being one of the industry’s top innovations.
Each day we welcomed a tour of food journalists and buyers to our stand to discuss and taste the Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream. It was a great experience to see our brand placed amongst a diverse selection of the most exciting new food developments from all around the world and to be able to inform key people in the food sector about our brands ethos, story and why we’re so passionate about what we do.
Our Vegan Matcha Green Tea ice cream is made of coconuts and is completely free from milk. Like all our products it is also free from sugar, gluten, soy and any artificial ingredients: a delicious combination of creamy coconut milk, blended with the finest matcha creating a perfectly smooth, aromatic and refreshing dessert.
After being selected for innovation at 2 previous food shows (SIAL Paris 2014 and 2016), we are honored to receive our third distinction this year. We accept it as recognition for our efforts for creating the most delicious healthy food, while always staying provocative and innovative. More than ever, we feel proud, excited and motivated to continue on our way and strive for innovation, creativity and perfection!
‘Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.’ – Buddha
In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’ – Erykah Badu
At Coppa della Maga we are always on the lookout for different techniques and ways to help us obtain balance and wellness in our everyday lives. We’re incredibly passionate about food and what we put into our bodies but we’re also aware that diet isn’t the only factor when it comes to our overall wellbeing. Something we strongly recommend to everyone is a good morning ritual. Implementing a ritual into your mornings can bring a sense of clarity and control, setting the tone for the day ahead. It can help you feel more positive, motivated and inspired.
We’re going to share with you a selection of our favourites that will really help you kick start your day:
Surely you’re all familiar with the sayings ‘Listen to your gut’, ‘follow your gut instinct ‘and ‘I’ve got a gut wrenching feeling about this’ but have you ever questioned their significance? You may be surprised to know that these mind – gut connected phrases have not simply been strung together for metaphorical effect but are actually rather meaningful. Interestingly, the state of our gut does not only affect our physical health but can also impact our mental health too. Let’s explore these factors a little further before looking into some simple steps we can take to keep our gut healthy.
It’s been an exciting two months for us here at Coppa della Maga following on from the launch of our two new vegan flavours – Matcha Green Tea and Chocolate & Goji Berries. We’re delighted to finally see them being enjoyed across the world by vegans and non- vegans alike, health enthusiasts and sugar addicts too! All our vegan ice creams are free from dairy, refined sugars, gluten and soy, but most definitely not from temptation.
If you aren’t yet familiar with our three dairy free, coconut milk based delights we’d love to introduce them to you:
Up to two thirds of the human body is comprised of water – it’s in our cells, the spaces in between and in our blood. Each and every single part of our anatomy is dependent on water in order to function.
Surely you’ve all been advised at some point in time to drink at least 2 litres of water per day – an amount even the most dedicated of water – drinkers may sometimes view as a bit of a challenge. Despite there being very little scientific evidence to back this claim we all know that water consumption is extremely important and vital for our bodies to operate. However, when it comes down to how much we should drink keep in mind that water requirements can vary from person to person depending on lifestyle, health factors, diet and climate. For example, someone who exercises often is going to need a higher quantity to help rehydrate their system after heavy perspiration. Additionally a person who has a diet high in salt will need more water to maintain a normal salt concentration in the blood.
Whilst it’s crucial we get enough liquids in our body we must be careful not to overdo it or drink large volumes too quickly.
Berry fans, this one’s for you! An indulgent summer inspired smoothie made using fresh, sweet berries and velvety smooth Coppa della Maga ice cream.
Berries are undoubtedly summers ultimate superfood, packed with antioxidants and an abundance of nutrients which we all know help contribute towards a healthy lifestyle. But lets delve a little deeper and see what else these wonderful fruits have to offer?
There are over 1500 varieties of green tea, each one with its very own special properties and unique flavour profile – much like wine.
Green tea is judged on its various aromas, texture and by how long the flavour remains in the mouth once consumed. The more expensive varieties have a strong, slightly sweet note which lingers on the palate. One of the most treasured green teas is the Jasmine pearl. It can often go up to £500 per kg, as each leaf has been scented with jasmine blossoms and hand rolled into small “pearls” to capture the floral aromatic oils. Another favourite, praised for its delicate balance of sweet and savoury is the Sencha.
