5 Breakfast Ideas

20 January 2015

I find breakfast one of the hardest meals of the day, am I right? I can never decide what to eat..So here are a few ideas to get you started.

Graze Breakfast Variety Box
I went on the Graze website for the first time since last month, last week and they have so many new boxes available. It's definitely worth checking out. One box is the Breakfast Variety Box. You get four different breakfasts for £3.99 and that's including delivery. There are different types and a few flavours for each, such as granolas, porridges and mueslis. I think that this would be perfect for a busy person, something to have for early mornings at the office. 

Muesli
The great thing about muesli is that it is something that is so versatile, you can take and add so easily and use ingredients that can add so much flavour to make it a bit less bland. It is also so easy to make a jar of your own, like this one that I made as part of my Mum's Christmas present.

Poached Eggs and Asparagus
Doesn't this just look great? This is something I've been meaning to try for a while as I really want to try poached eggs and it would be so yummy with asparagus!

Fruit and Yoghurt Bowls
I've known about these for a while and I know you're probably thinking that surely this is exactly what it says on the tin and obviously it is but some of the ones I've seen are so pretty and colourful. Plus these make a good start to the day for you. There's something so great about fruit when it is so fresh and it tastes perfect!

Dip 'n' Share Eggs
I am absolutely desperate to try these, you would certainly need a huge appetite and several people to share it with, or maybe make a mini one for yourself! It would be perfect for brunch and it's surprisingly full of relatively healthy ingredients, only chorizo which is not so healthy! 


Emily’s Fruit Crisps

20 November 2014


I have been so kindly sent some of these fruit crisps by Emily herself and I was so excited to try them! Emily is just one of the co-founders and they are named after her. The crisps are made in a vacuum to preserve all of the good stuff without taking away the crisp. It was her partner that actually named the crisps after her.


They come in 3 flavours, apple, banana and pineapple! There’s nothing added to the fruit, just a lot of good stuff and they are gluten-free as well!

I only got sent the Apple and Banana packets, I really wanted to try the Pineapple ones!
Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the two fruits that I did get sent anyway.


They look great don't they?

You can find Emily’s fruit crisps in the Selfridges located in London, Manchester and Birmingham, Whole Foods Markets, various London locations and Odd Farm Park. You can also buy them online.


And there’s a lovely end note from Emily’s partner, Alex…



Graze Boxes

12 October 2014

If you haven’t heard of Graze, I will be so shocked! They’re a well-known company that sends you snacks through the post. I know right, food through the post; it doesn’t get much better than that!

Now don’t be worried, you get to choose the products you like and don’t like and then the ones you want to try so you can make a decision on them.

The boxes are so pretty for Autumn!


It’s all very clever!

They send you snacks at random out of all the ones you’ve chosen and you get four in a box.


My favourite snacks have to be tropical daiquiri and the black pepper popcorn.

Not only do they do the typical “nibble box”, they also do a really fun one for kids, a breakfast one and a big box, which is coming soon!

They send you a little booklet with all the nutritional values and some vouchers for your friends

Check out their website to get your own. The great part is that you can get them as often or as little as you like.


Use the code ADELES8ZP to get your 1st, 5th and 10th boxes free.

Remember you could cancel after the 1st then you get the 1 free just to try it out!

If you do try it, I hope you enjoy it!


Have you tried Graze before?

Review. Arizona Green Tea

6 August 2014

If you have been reading my blog for some time then you will know that I love a bit of green tea! While I've been on holiday, I've tried a few different flavours of Arizona Green Tea and I thought I would write about them for anyone who is interested. They're imported from the US and come in the prettiest bottles. As far as I know you can't ge them many places in the UK unlike here where you can get them in every other shop.

First up, Green Tea and Honey:
Personally, I found this way too sweet compared to the fruity ones. It tasted like I was basically drinking sugar and water. Not something I'll be trying again! It was over 30 degrees or so everyday on holiday so I would rather have had something slightly more refreshing.


Pomegranate Green Tea:
To sum it up in one word: delicious! (My favourite word at the moment). It was only a little bit sweet but it was quite fruity and so freshening which is just what I needed. It was almost gone after 2 minute! If it didn't contain so much sugar I would want to drink it more often.


Blueberry White Tea:
This was quite similar to the pomegranate green tea but was more like water with a hint of blueberry juice. Unfortunately, this was the third and last one I tried (the hotel didn't have any more flavours), and it was also the only time I read the label (a lesson to be learned here). 
That sweetness I tasted in all of them? Yeah, that would be because the second ingredient, after water, was sugar. It explains everything! 
Although there was just under 150 cal in the whole drink which considering the ingredients, I thought was quite good.
The quote on the bottle says "here's to your health" but with carbohydrates at 7g per 100ml, I'm not seeing how it is beneficial to my health in any way.


My point is, that despite the pretty bottles and false advertising, you are probably better off choosing a different drink!

I liked this quote so I thought I would share it ❤️
