Blackberries are one of the tastiest fruits around.

They are a small edible fruit with a big taste, and botanically they are a kind of berry that grow on brambles. The fruit has a sweet and succulent taste despite being relatively low in fructose compared to most types of fruit.

Blackberries are one of the most commonly cultivated fruits. However, we can also find them growing in their wild state – which purportedly have a better nutritional profile and more polyphenols (5).

Combine them with some fresh cream for a delicious, sweet and creamy dessert.

Blackberries are especially good for vitamin C and the health benefits it provides.

Chivita Active, Nigeria’s leading fruit juice brand for a healthy and active lifestyle, is reinforcing its reputation of being at the forefront of encouraging consumers to embrace health and wellness. The brand has continued to do so by raising awareness and motivating consumers to adopt an active lifestyle, as the community of consumers who strive for wellness continues to grow.

In 2018, Chivita Active launched the C’mon Get Active campaign to position the brand as an enabler for a healthy, active life. Since then, the social consciousness for active health and wellness has grown steadily as more consumers integrate consumption of the nourishing Chivita Active into their daily routine, as they position it as a partner in their journey for a healthy lifestyle.

This health and wellness trend is increasingly being adopted by millions of consumers in the midst of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Research shows that people who drink fruit juice daily have greater energy, improved immune systems, and a reduced risk of infection and disease. As a result, they live happier, more active, more productive, and balanced lifestyles.

Drinking fruit juices like Chivita Active is a convenient way to consume fruits and vegetables that provide the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients - Vitamin C, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, and Iron, which support proper function of the body’s metabolism, as well as boost normal function of the immune system.

Jide Dipeolu, a fitness instructor at the Gbagada Hospital playground, emphasized the need for Nigerians to embrace a regimen of gaining nourishment from daily juice consumption to boost the body’s immune function and promote optimum health and wellness.

“I lead a team of three fitness enthusiasts on a daily exercise routine to help them stay active and be more productive. Part of my active healthy routine includes taking a pack of Chivita Active Fruit Juice along for the exercises. Its great taste and healthy nourishment is significant to supporting my active routine and its nutrients boost proper function of my immune system,” he said.

Assistant Brand Manager, Chivita, Oladapo Olanrewaju, noted that through the C’mon Get Active campaign, the Chivita Active brand would continue to connect with and support the aspirations of consumers for living a healthy and active life.

“Since 2018 when we launched the C’mon Get Active campaign, we have raised consumer consciousness towards health and wellness. We continue to reiterate that even as we face the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, Chivita Active fruit juice supports Nigerians by providing some of the daily required vitamins, minerals, and nutrients they need to carry out their daily activities and keep their bodies nourished and healthy,” he stated.
