Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice and Gel

Here at The Amazing Blog  we are very impressed with the  Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice and Gel. Along with their patent pending Aloesorb technology, this aloe juice packs a seriously healthy punch with some of the highest molecular weighted polysaccharides (carbohydrates), which translates to a better quality of aloe juice for your body.

Aloe Vera was known as the plant of immortality by the Egyptians over 6,000 years ago and now thanks to Lily of the Desert we are able to have top notch Aloe Vera Juice and Gel to add to our smoothies and cocktails or to have alone. The juice and the gel both have a slightly sweet taste that is lovely on its own and will blend seamlessly into any drink or cocktail you might add it to.

The Aloe Vera Juice and Gel has tons of uses and we love a product that is multipurpose and healthy at the same time. Aloe Vera Juice and Gel are good for the skin, good internally, as well as good for overall health and wellness. Check out some of the delicious drink recipes here. We particularly love the Watermelon Ginger spritzer recipe:

2 ounces Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice

4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

2 inches fresh ginger, peeled

agave nectar, to taste

chilled seltzer water

Directions: (Serves 4) Blend watermelon and ginger; strain pulp out. Mix with Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera juice and pour over ice. Top with chilled seltzer water and enjoy!

PLENISH is a new organic raw cold pressed juice company designed to detoxify and energize the body with nutritious and delicious cold pressed juices. The juices are made using a “two step” method production process. The first step of the process is when the certified organic produce is cold pressed, and the second step uses a state of the art advanced process called HPP, high pressure processing  to keep the juice nutrient packed. The juice includes all of the natural enzymes, phytonutrients and vitamins necessary, and retains all of the product’s raw nutritional density. Because of this, it has an extended shelf life of up to 20 days! Also, PLENISH is free from wheat, gluten and all processed sugars and stabilizers. There are seven organic and unique flavors of juices and nut milks, depending on what function you want it to serve. The juices aim to bridge the gap between the fresh juice bar and functional drinks. Aside from drinking the juices as a stand alone beverage, PLENISH also offers 3 different levels of cleanses.

Quest Protein - Cookies & Cream

What happens when you are supposed to be on a diet but you suddenly get a sweet tooth? Well, here at The Amazing Blog , we were desperate to find a solution, and we finally did. When we received samples of the Quest Protein Cookies & Cream bars,  they really did the trick!

The real cookie crumbles and delicious cream immediately satisfied our cravings. These delicious protein bars have 21 grams of protein (a mix of Whey Protein Isolate and Milk Protein Isolate), tons of fibre in the form of  Almonds, Cocoa Butter and plant extracts, and also no added sugar, using only Sucralose, which is an artificial sweetener. What better way to “cheat clean?” as Quest Protein would say. In addition to the company’s fueling growth from the invention of their protein bars, they focus on quality and nutritional efficacy. Because of this, Quest Nutrition has earned the recommendation of trainers, nutritionists and other health professionals that are on their own “quest” to turn the tide against obesity and all of its associated ailments - a fight that Quest Nutrition is proud to be involved in. Their customers range from everyday active, health-conscious consumers to top fitness competitors, bodybuilders, yoga enthusiasts, low carb dieters, and professional athletes.

Get your Quest Nutrition Cookies & Cream bar from their UK distributor here  for only £2.79, or a box of 12 bars here for £24.99.

Taste of London 2014

We here at The Amazing Blog  are always keen to tantalize our taste buds with new and interesting foods and flavours. Lucky for us, Taste Of London is back. We wrote about Taste of London back in 2011  so we were super excited to feature it again. A 5 day exhibition in Regents Park, the event sees restaurants, chefs and food lovers come together to share in culinary delights and an array of other frivolities, and we’ll certainly be joining them.

From the 18^th to the 22^nd of June, Regents Park will play watering hole to everybody who’s anybody in the London food world. A ticket entitles you to a four hour food adventure, where you can sample dishes from 40 of London’s finest restaurants. If tucking into delicious dishes isn’t enough for you, the festival also hosts a range of activities, such as a Sushi Masterclass, wine and cheese pairings, and the chance to taste a variety of beers. Eric Lanyard and Michael Roux Jr are just a couple of the famous faces that will be there to share their love of food with you foodie heaven.

We all have our favourite restaurants, weather it’s the little place round the corner, or the expensive anniversary-only restaurant in the heart of London. However, we also all know how great it is to find something new, exciting and that you really love! Taste of London is a great opportunity to do just that, as well as have a fabulous day out. With tickets costing around £25.80 for standard admission, make sure you book a slot for the biggest food festival of the social season. We feel like we’ve died and gone to food heaven.
