When I launched the soup challenge, I thought of a number of people I thought I would be able handle around 10-20, well we got that many signed up in the first few hours.
We had to stop once it reached 40. Emails were coming in, emails to the website, text messages, twitter dms and facebook message. I couldn't believe the response. Great priced lunches and weight loss were a big draw to the Grainger Market, our home .
And what it great challenge it has been/ is. Some people were just able to start on the 15th just gone others began their 3rd week.
Ditching your lunch and replacing it with a healthy soup really did work.... nothing more thrilling than getting weight loss messages 1lb, -6lb, fantastic start !!! Newcastle really has lost stones of weight. We are helping the NHS in sorts too then ....
Some of our customers have soups delivered, some collect daily others live far away and got 1 months in 1 go. We didn't mind and we tried to accommodate everyone.
Already being asked by those on the waiting list when the next round starts ... all in good time I have a few more ideas to come the #Food&Fitness 1 week plan and the #SaladBARChallenge
Everyone on the Soup Challenge seems to be enjoying it so its brilliant news for us and it helps us as a new company get the word out and show how healthy and tasty our goods are. Look out over the coming days for the guest blogs of our customers. Look forward to sharing that with you.

Who we are & what is it that we do
We are residing in one of the unhealthiest parts of western Europe. We can not for one moment dodge the wild accusations of the media that we are a nation of smoking, binge drinking, fast food eating slobs, apparently. You just have to goggle unhealthy Britain for hundreds of pages of facts about what we are doing to ourselves & what our future holds http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21667065
I set about opening up a Health Food shop in Newcastle city centre with a big difference, healthy food, fast. I wanted a multitude of natural colours to overwhelm you with every portion of Soup,Salad & Smoothie being served up. I was inspired by the likes of the Jamie Oliver food revolution but shocked to see the levels of low education on real food, on cooking, on the ingredients....and their provenance.
Here I wanted every minority to feel like a majority.
The mega healthy to be able to eat everything .
The dairy free to be able to get an unbuttered / no mayo sandwich.
The gluten free to have a wrap a soup and even a cake.
The vegetarians to not just be offered cheese options.
The vegans to get choices & cakes.
The weigh lifters wont have to spend time preparing their own eggs chicken and spinach.
The dieters to get their calorie controlled meals made for them.
Don't think I wasn't discouraged, how many times I heard ' really a healthy place in Newcastle? do you really think there is a market for this up here?' Well yes of course I do I know there are healthy eaters all over Newcastle, the job on my hands is to find them. If we cant find them we educate them. We help them. We mentor them and before you know it we will have a healthy Newcastle again. I am hopeful of this.
A little about me. I grew up in Africa & France and settled in Newcastle, where my father is from. Ive eaten foods from supermarkets, markets & my grandmothers own garden in the Pyrenees. Ive learned to cook from my parents & grandparents, then from my own experiments. A child of a catering family also does plenty of eating.... So as a teen & young adult I then had to go on to do plenty of diets & fads. I have been a veggy, a vegan, ive been dairy free, gluten free. All the free from episodes you can name. People assume 'must be hard you mustn't be able to eat anything'.... Its the complete opposite. When you remove sugar, salt, dairy, gluten from your diet you basically start to really learn to cook. You really cant walk into a supermarket anymore as those cheaper ingredients are in everything! Bulking out everything. It just opens your eyes to what you can eat. The multitude of ingredients out there. Its huge and it actually widens any choices you ever had before. So this is what I know about food and what I am passionate about. I hope you love my shop and visit us soon in the amazing Grainger Market. Healthy food, fast.
