Gear up and kick‐start the day with the first Zespri Picnic in the city, a Vinyasa style yoga class by MC Swtlkr and Zespri’s very own Kiwi mascot, and Singapore’s first ever POP Pilates workout conducted by popular US fitness instructor, Cassey Ho (Blogilates), of YouTube fame.
Do away with dull mornings and start them with positivity by waking up with Zespri – the best recipe to getting through the day. Zespri SunGold KiwiFest, presented by the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruits, Zespri, is a three-hour long morning event in Singapore which features a curated set of activities for all ages.
Organised to inspire Singaporeans to inject positivity into their otherwise mundane mornings, attendees of the Zespri SunGold KiwiFest will get to experience a sequence of activities that revolve around health and fitness, feel-good music, and Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit! The event will take place on Sunday, 5 June 2016 at Empress Place – Jubilee Lawn, and will be open to the public.
In a bid to embrace a fully positive space, The Positive Patrol and Zespri’s favourite Kiwi mascot, will also be roaming around the grounds of Jubilee Lawn to give little boosts of encouragement and support to attendees. Don’t let them catch you sulking!
As of 9 May 2016, online registration for the Zespri SunGold KiwiFest is now open!

PRE-EVENT ACTIVITIES
In the lead up to the event on Sunday, 5 June 2016, Zespri will also be making mornings a whole lot more positive by championing the following morning goodness starters:
Get your Zespri Froyo on!
31 May 2016, at all seven Sogurt outlets
There are so many ways one can consume a Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit – juice it to a drink, or top it on a salad or a dessert; the possibilities are endless! The Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is a delicious superfruit, and is one of the best sources of vitamin C among fruits and vegetables. It contains more than three times the amount of vitamin C found in oranges, and is packed with more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals.
Based on a study from the University of Otago, Christchurch (UOC), eating two kiwifruits a day can improve a person’s mood and provide them with extra energy, because the high-levels of vitamin C found in them helps to activate a number of enzymes in the body that enhance the levels of metabolic energy and different neurochemicals in the brain.
High in antioxidants, low in calories, and with a low GI value of 38*(Glycemic Index: the measurement of the food’s effect on our blood sugar), Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is a healthy and guilt-free indulgence!
On Tuesday, 31 May 2016, post a photo on Instagram and hashtag #WakeUpwithZespri, #ZespriSG and #Sogurt to be entitled to a complimentary delicious Yogurt topped with Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit slices from Sogurt.

Eat toast and Zespri on!
1 & 2 June 2016, at all 71 Toast Box outlets
A new scientific study has proven that eating kiwifruit with your breakfast significantly slows and reduces the update of sugars from your breakfast in your blood stream – helping to reduce your glycaemic response over time. By doing this, you could also be protected against chronic metabolic disease, a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke.
To give a healthy spin on your morning meals, Zespri is tying up with local chain, Toast Box, to inject a refreshing start to the day with a nutritious and tasty breakfast. Zespri Kiwifruit and toast lovers can head down to more than 70 Toast Box stores across our sunny island on 1 and 2 June 2016, to get a complimentary Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit and a Zespri Spife – yes a spoon and knife hybrid! – with every Toast Box traditional or thick toast set* ordered.
*Only limited to the first 50 sets per store per day.
If you are lucky, you might even spot Zespri’s very own kiwiman at one of the participating Toast Box locations!
