You'll probably have realised that I'm fairly new to this whole health and fitness scene, so it's fair to say that the Holland and Barrett website is rather overwhelming to me. I hadn't realised how many varieties of seed there were? Anyway, luckily my buddy Gemma was on hand to choose a few items for me, and ship them to my house courtesy of Holland and Barrett - I also did the same for her, and you can see what I picked here.
I've tried quite a few of the products already and so far I'm rather impressed! Chia seeds are fab - why has it taken me this long to try them? They're so good for you but you can hardly tell they're there - perfect.
Agarve nectar has been mentioned quite a lot recently, and so far I'm really enjoying it. I've seen a delicious chocolate brownie recipe that uses this and I'm definitely going to give it a go. Another thing required in the aforementioned recipe is coconut oil. Yep, the infamous do-all product. This is probably the item I'm most excited to try - not only in cooking, but as a beauty product.
Gemma also sent me a variety of teas to try out, and at the moment I'm loving the Pukka Night Time one. It does taste rather strange to begin with, but it is super relaxing - perfect for this stressful exam period. A few more items included in my package were; coconut water, dried fruit mixes, lemon juice and some supplements specifically for teens.
I have quite a few recipe posts planned - that include these ingredients - so keep an eye out for those!
