NATURE’S PATH: Sunrise, Superflakes and Granola

‘Always leave the soil better than you found it.’ There is so much to love about Nature’s Path. Born in 1985, this charitable, organic-only family has always put values, sustainability, quality and fair trade at the centre of their care as much as producing the very best Coeliac UK-endorsed cereal options that could possibly be…

BOUNCE: *NEW* Energy Bites!

October has been one of the coolest months in our Bennett household. I have been one of the first to sample – then review – interesting foods, from staples, to snacks, to superfoods, to spreads. On occasion, a brand bounces back with something new. Today’s Something New is from Bounce, makers and creators of my…

Schär Superbox: An exciting medley of goods!

I am a lucky lady, for last week our trusted delivery driver delivered something impeccably wrapped and delightfully full of goods: A Schär Superbox! Held within were seven thrilling foodie treats, three recipe cards and a little of the unknown as far as the Mix It: Universal was concerned; would it produce fabulous flatbread or beautiful…

INSPIRAL Kale chips x 6

Since moving to Cheltenham, my absolute ultimate treat has been Whole Foods for its outstanding wheat free, gluten free aisles, full of choice. Whether health-conscious or crisp-craving, I have never failed to find something affordable – always under £2 – and indulgent. I guess a large amount of my snack-seeking-success is owing to repeat returns…

EAT REAL Lots of lovely crisps!

It didn’t take long for me to spot a promoted post for the newer-styled Eat Real crisps amidst a sea of photographs, posts and lovely musings by friends on my Facebook timeline. I have always loved Eat Real crisps, particularly the Chilli and Lemon chips, for their crunch, spice, shape, texture and low fat-ness. Fortunately,…

*NEW* from Schär: Breads, biccies and buns

Moving into summer, I have four exciting new products to review from the notoriously superb Schär. In my most recent previous post, I mentioned a lot of reasons why Schär are the European leaders of mainstream gluten free foods, largely breads but now a range of exciting sweet treats too. Here are my thoughts on…

Coeliac Awareness Week

This week is Coeliac Awareness Week and it has significantly outweighed my expectations. How? On social media, people are interacting, really interacting. Supermarkets, health stores and online-only stores have shared the most fantastic offers, ranging from 25% off a selection of ‘Made without…’ (Marks & Spencer) to 3 for 2 (Tesco Free From, Trek Bars from Natural…

*NEW* Bounce V Life Balls

About a week ago, Bounce HQ launched a new range of Balls named V Life. The V means two things really; vegan, as in suitable for a vegan diet, and veggie, meaning they are packed with vegetable-y goodness. Pea proteins feature heavily, as do nuts, with a relatively small amount of each featured veg or…

CREATIVE NATURE Protein Bars

It is a rather wonderful coincidence that I choose today to write my review, the day after Julianne Ponan, owner and CEO of Creative Nature, scooped ‘Young Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the grand SME Surrey Awards. Back in May 2016, Toast of Surrey awarded Julianne with ‘Director of the Year’. Quite some success for…

BOUNCE – *New* Protein Energy Bites

Guess what? I’m going straight in! You know I am a protein snack fanatic so what better way to begin a post than with an appetite-boosting photograph of one of Bounce HQ’s newest additions to their Bounce family! Coconut Cranberry As with Bounce Balls – ‘All hail the Bounce Ball!’ you cry – a whipping…

GLUTAFIN Pizza Bases

Pizza is one of those foods – snacks, dinners, hangover foods – that frequently crops up in wistful conversation, dreamy-eyed men, women and children craving its addictive crunch and cheesy shroud. Me? The appeal is non-existent, my feelings toward the apparent public ‘need’ for it in gluten free form unchanged as I have quite honestly…
