Terrafertil Goldenberries

Goldenberries blog With the spring right around the corner, it's that time again where we try to work out a tad bit more than normal and eat a tad healthier…well at least the girls in the office are. At The Amazing Blog we have found a delicious berry snack that provides you with a satisfaction of feeling good, while eating them. The superfruit Terrafertil dried Goldenberries  (or as we call them in the UK Cape Gooseberries) is the perfect snack to crave.

The dried Goldenberries really are a “little nuggets of nutritional gold”. Goldenberries soar right past cranberries by providing you 166% more antioxidants. These little nuggets contain a rich source of vitamin C, iron, magnesium, potassium, fiber, and phosphorus. While eating Goldenberries I enjoy the taste of them and feel good about eating them (not that guilty feeling I have after eating chocolate covered raisins). The Goldenberries have a sweet and sour taste at first, but as I kept popping them into my mouth it started to balance the two tastes together. With these dried Goldenberries grown and processed in Ecuador and Colombia on Terrafertil Goldenberries Fairtrade farmland selected for soil and air quality, it ensures the highest standard of fruits. Organically produced and distributed, the UK is finally getting the gift of Terrafertil Goldenberries.

You can snack without feeling guilty with Terrafertil Goldenberries. For only £2.99 a bag, you can feel good about the way you snack! To purchase these little nuggets of nutritional gold you can go to Holland & Barrett. Snack the right way with Goldenberries to feel full of nutrients!

 

Hydrate naturally!

My new favourite drink of choice is Vita Coco. Made from 100% natural coconut water which is taken from young, green, healthy coconuts, this refreshing and tropical tasting drink takes me back to the beaches of Thailand where I would sip on this delicious water straight from the young coconuts daily. Although I’m not known for being particularly sporty I’m told that coconut water is the ultimate post-workout drink as it is extremely hydrating and contains 15 times the electrolytes found in sports drinks (this also makes it ideal for hangovers!) It is also fat free and cholesterol free with no added sugar making it much healthier than normal energy drinks. Pure coconut water also has numerous other health benefits including keeping the body cool,  boosting circulation, easing stomach pains, balancing your body's pH level, detoxifying the body and boosting the immune system as well as promoting weight loss.

I love the original version but for those people that need something a bit sweeter, Vita Coco also comes in several flavoured varieties such as peach and mango and acai and pomegranate which are all made using natural fruit purees to flavour them.

Vita Coco is available from Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, Whole Foods and Planet Organic.
