A NEW health bar is coming to Colchester with a mission to improve wellbeing.

5FiVE will be opening at The Crescent within Colchester Business Park on Monday.

The vibrant bar is the brainchild of Richard Triolo and is an idea born from his own health and fitness journey.

5FiVE offers an extensive menu of specially blended juices, smoothies, shakes, shots, coffee and teas.

Richard has developed the recipes in conjunction with a nutritional expert and has gained full accreditation from the ‘Food for the Brain’ charity, with an innovative mind-menu.

The menu focuses on five core wellbeing concepts - strength, flexibility, ideal balance, vitality and endurance.

There will be a total of 75 drinks on offer with 41 signature drinks that include five junior health drinks.

The bar is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, pescetarians and is totally gluten free.

With people, planet, charity and community matters at the core of their ethos, the business ensures they donate a percentage of sales to the Youth Sports Trust and Food For The Brain charities.

All drinks are served in fully recyclable plant based cups.

Opening hours are 7am until 8pm Monday to Friday, and 7am until 4pm on weekends.

Colchester Community Group on Facebook is promoting the new venture.
