From the latest wholefood snacks and treats to natural immune-boosters, here are the products we’ll be stocking up on this season to help us feel a little fabulous.
Macro Mike ‘The Game Changer’ Bar
Low blood sugar and low mood can go hand-in-hand, so it’s worth keeping a quality protein bar handy to prevent you from getting hangry. Not sure how to choose a better-for-you protein bar? Our rule of thumb: if you can't pronounce the ingredients in a protein bar, put it back on the shelf.
Other than the fact that it tastes like dessert, this Macro Mike Protein Bar is in this month’s Box gets because:
- The first, (i.e., the main) ingredient is protein, NOT sugar or artificial sweetener
- It's free from gut-upsetting artificial sweeteners like maltitol
- It's sweetened naturally with mineral and fibre-rich date paste, and fructose-free rice malt
- It’s suitable for most dietary requirements, being dairy-free, gluten-free, and 100% plant-based
- It will give you 10g of plant protein, plus filling fats and fibre from coconut to help keep hunger pangs at bay
Ceres Organics Salted Caramel Peanut Butter
Nip that caramel craving in the bud all while giving your body what it really needs come 3pm (protein, fibre, and heart-healthy fats) with this new, magical spread from Ceres. Great spread on rice cakes, or drizzled on apple or banana slices.
Wellgrove Health Olive Leaf Extract
If you’re feeling a little under the weather, that green juice from the supermarket down probably isn’t the best idea; it’s most likely loaded with sugar, which won’t be doing your immune system any favours. Give your immunity some actual love with a spoonful of quality olive leaf extract instead, like this one from Wellgrove Health (which you'll get a FULL-SIZED bottle of in this month's Stress Less Box, woo!).
Comvita Manuka Honey
Its 'UMF' or Unique Manuka Factor is what makes manuka the ‘feel-good’ honey, providing antibacterial benefits you won't get from plain old honey (keep that for your porridge and baking!). The higher the UMF, the more potent the manuka. Comvita’s UMF 5+ Manuka honey is our go-to for a sore throat, straight from the spoon!
Xootro Clariti Tablets
Under the pump and looking for a pick-me-up? Xootro’s plant-based Clariti supplement makes for a much kinder alternative to caffeine for your adrenals. Carefully formulated with a mix of herbs and vitamins that promote calm and mental clarity, see the difference for yourself; you’ll find a box of 20 in this month's Stress Less Box!
Ola Pacifica Chocolate bar
It’s true. Dark chocolate really can put some pep in your step. The cocoa bean provides two stimulating compounds: theobromine, and caffeine - but in a much smaller dose than coffee - making for a jitter-free pick-me-up. Theobromine has also been shown to improve blood flow to the brain and decrease blood pressure. Not that you needed another reason to eat chocolate. Reap the feel-good benefits of dark chocolate by choosing one with a cocoa percentage of 60% or more - like Ola Pacifica’s ethically sourced Samoan Chocolate. Available in three mouthwatering flavours (Orange, Almond, and Coffee), did we mention you’ll get a WHOLE 80g BAR in this month’s Box?
Nutra Organics Lovers Latte
Prefer your chocolate in beverage form? This heavenly hot choccie powder is low in sugar and contains a super-high percentage of cacao (75%), so you can have your chocolate (almond) mylk without the sugar crash.
