Tickled Tastebuds

My second Triyit box, called “Tickled Tastebuds” arrived last week. I had enough time to try all the yummy content and share my adventurous experiences here.

Kellogg's Crunchy Nut granola bar is delicious. I tried Cranberry & Nuts but I definitely have to try Chocolate & Nuts too. This is the best quick breakfast when I am late. Or I just enjoy it anytime during the day. It is guilt-free, because it is healthy packed with lots of fibre. No artificial colours or flavours.

Juiceburst drinks are totally new for me but I definitely will continue to purchase. Orange & Carrot is the best wake up juice. It is natural like a freshly squeezed orange juice. It does not contain any nonsense ingredients or extra added sugars, only naturally occurring fruit sugars. It is tasty and refreshing.

Juiceburst Blood Orange is really enjoyable and refreshing. It is full of flavours without any added artificial ingredients. It is made from real oranges, and tastes like real oranges. It also covers 1 of my five a day. I will choose Juiceburst whenever I can in the future.

Graze snacks are creative and flavourful, I have tried more of them. My new favourite is Graze Crunch. Lightly Sea Salted peas, corn and broad beans are delicious and crunchy. It is packed with veg for guilt-free snacking. Graze even helps me with portion control. These small boxes are more than enough.

 

I am an exercise lover but sometimes I need some extra energy. The best on-the-go nutritional snack is Swisse Me. I tried Mango Me packed with surprising ingredients: Apple, Carrot, Collagen, Magnesium and Turmeric. Perfect pre exercise or even post exercise snack, because contains protein too.

Perrier & Juice

My latest The Insiders campaign have been a pure pleasure. I have got 24 cans of Perrier & Juice. It did not lasted long, because these soft drinks are delicious and irresistible.

Perrier is fantastic mineral water so I was really excited to try Perrier & Juice. 

Pineapple & Mango is my favourite flavour. This light juice drink has the perfect proportion of light bubbliness, fruity sweetness and sourness. I totally love it, pineapple is my favourite fruit. Perrier had chosen the best fruit pairs to squeeze into his lively cans.

Peach & Cherry contains merely juice from concentrate and mineral water. For me the most important is, there are not any artificial sweeteners in my drinks. I rather choose fruit sugar than sweetener. Healthy ingredients are very important for me. This flavour is really refreshing and even perfect ingredient for cocktails or mocktails.

Strawberry & Kiwi are the best fruit to pair. One is really sweet and another is sour. I love this flavour extravaganza diluted with mineral water. It really reminds me of summer. It contains only 50 calories, so guilt free enjoyment – of course, solely after my salad lunch. ;) 

Chestnut Swirls

I always try to encourage people to do more in the kitchen. If you control your food, than you can control your hunger. You can eat anything from controlled sources without worrying about your and even your kids weight. Cooking and baking is really easy, kids can do it too. If you are absolutely beginner I advise you to start with Betty Crocker cake mixes – perfect results are guaranteed.

I would show you today how can you transform a simple vanilla sponge into a extraordinary looking chestnut swirl.

-Start with the very easy chestnuts cream.

-Mix together 500g cooked and mashed chestnuts with 100g soft spread and 110g icing sugar.

-Refrigerate until it is totally cold. I usually wait 3 hours.

-Heat the oven to 180 Celsius.

-Mix the whole box of Betty Crocker Velvety Vanilla cake mix with 90ml vegetable oil and 3 medium eggs.

-Use a huge baking tray and cover with parchment paper. Spread the cake mixture evenly in thin layer (0.5cm).

-Bake your sponge in the centre of the oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not open the oven door to check on your masterpiece! When it has a nice, light golden colour it is ready.

-Wrap up the hot sponge using a clean tea towel. Let it cool completely in a shape of roll. This part is extremely important, because it is impossible to wrap up the cooled sponge – it cracks and breaks.

-Remove the parchment paper and fill your Betty Crocker Velvety Vanilla sponge with the cooled chestnut cream.

Big thanks to The Insiders for sending me some Betty Crocker baking ingredients to try and have a great half term fun with kids.

H&S 3Action Formula

I am one of the happiest Supersavvyme Savvy Circle members because I was selected to take part in Head & Shoulders campaign. My huge savvy kit arrived some weeks ago, so me and nearly all my acquaintances had enough time to try and test this fantastic hair care product. This shampoo is amazing!

New Head & Shoulders has a 3Action Formula: cleanse, protect and moisturise.

My scalp is perfectly clean and flake free after using H&S. This shampoo is extremely foamy and has thick consistency. It is an absolute bonus point for me when I choose a shampoo. I love to massage my scalp with big foam for longer for a perfectly clean result. On the other side it contains lots of water because all the ingredients are mixed and dissolved in water before bottled. I enjoy the scent too. Washing my hair with H&S new 3Action Formula is a real pleasure.

Who experienced dandruff ever, knows that protection is extremely important. My shampoo should not just clean but even protect my hair from dandruff. The H&S experts have added active ingredients such as Zinc which directly targets those pesky dandruff causing particles called Malassezia Globosa.

This shampoo contains a conditioner so moisturises my hair from roots to tips. My hair is healthy and shiny even on second day after washing. My hair is less greasy and I do not need to use dry shampoo on second day to keep the volume. I have soft and beautifully manageable hair.

Head & Shoulders is perfect even for people with more sensitive skin, because the right pH balance ensures H&S is gloriously gentle on skin.

For good looking and healthy skin; scalp and hair is not enough just use and choose the best cosmetics and shampoos but you should make wise food choices. Include some lentils, sesame, soy, avocado or dark chocolate to your diet for the best appearance. It is not as difficult as it looks. Just start today!

Drink Good. Feel Good.

I have been specially selected to be part of Come Round team’s unique campaign. They sent me a free party pack with lots of Feel Good Drinks. My family, friends and me were more than happy to try these new  and seductive drinks.

First of all these bottles look very nice and bubbly. It makes me smile to look at them. I love real gals bottles these make home parties more sophisticated. You can find Feel Good Drinks even in small plastic bottles to carry the goodness everywhere with you.

FeelGood Drinks are colourful without added artificial colours. These drinks are 100% natural. They come in lots of flavour, you can always try something new. Natural is not boring! My favourite flavour is Apple, Elderflower & Water. I love also Lemon, Elderflower & Water and Orange, Mango & Water. Anyway I am happy to drink any flavours. You can choose even between still and lightly sparkly. It is fantastic! I do not like carbonated drinks, but these light bubbles refresh me. Feel Good Drinks are even perfect mocktail ingredients. Try some good recipes:

The most important fact is that The Feel Good Drinks Co. never adds any sugar to their drinks. It is a guilt free pleasure. The sweetness of these lovely drinks comes from naturally occurring sugars, which is essential to our bodies. Never distract sugar totally from your diet. Human body uses naturally occurring sugar to fuel exercises and fuel our mind. Feel Good Drinks are beneficial in schools, gyms and offices.

FeelGood Drinks do not contain sweeteners. I am really happy with this, because lots of sweeteners contain milk sugar, which causes very unpleasant reactions by people allergic to dairy.

FeelGood Drinks contain merely fruit juices from concentrate and crisp, clear water. It tastes similarly delicious as pure fruit juices but the taste and the consistency is lighter so these drinks quench your thirst better.

FeelGood Drinks contain less acid as pure fruit juices, because are diluted with water. These drinks are more suitable for people who suffer from heartburn. If you feel stomach discomfort after drinking your breakfast juice swap it for FeelGood Drinks and enjoy breakfast time again.

I am really happy that Come Round introduced me The Feel Good Drinks Co. I cannot imagine healthier and tastier drinks. I believe if I drink good I feel good.
