"From the daily green smoothies and wheatgrass shots, to the 15 minutes a day of meditation, we started to notice a massive change in our energy levels, overall health, and general state of consciousness and awareness.
"During that time, one of the most important lessons we learned was to take full responsibility of what goes into our bodies, our minds and what practices we support."
At the moment, the only sure-fire way to grab one of Organic Mechanic's superfood smoothies is to visit the La Cigale French Markets in Parnell.
The business has also started catering for private and corporate events, including a recent gig that involved making 800 smoothies in two hours.
