New organic, gluten and dairy-free cereal from Nature’s Path with sprouted grains

We love this healthy, yet tasty, cereal.

For a breakfast that packs a punch with a crunch and sets you on the right path for the day, try the latest organic and gluten-free cereal from Nature’s Path – Superflakes.

This whole grain, organic, gluten-free and dairy-free cereal is made with sprouted grains and chia seeds and comes in two tasty flavours, Honey & Chia and Cocoa & Coconut.

Sprouted grains are seeds that have been harvested just before they turn into a fully-fledged plant. Sprouting is a part of the natural growing process, which gives life to the seed – but if you stop it at the right moment, you can unlock far more vitamins, nutrients and flavour than found in ‘normal’ grains.

In Superflakes, Nature’s Path uses sorghum flour, black bean flour and brown rice flour – which are all made from nutrient-rich sprouted grains.

Working alongside sprouted grains are chia seeds and cocoa, which also provide a beneficial breakfast boost. Chia seeds are high in ALA Omega-3 Fatty Acids, fibre and magnesium, while cocoa contains iron and antioxidants.

Both Superflakes variants taste great too. Whether it’s crunchy flakes packed with chia seeds and a touch of honey – or wholegrain flakes coated with indulgent cocoa and mixed in with crisp coconut pieces, each one has a deliciously moreish taste and retains its crunch to the very last bite.

 

Superflakes are the ideal cereal to get you on the path to a more balanced diet and start your day off the right way. Both variants, Honey & Chia and Cocoa & Coconut, are available at Tesco stores nationwide, priced at £3.50 RRP.

And For Breakfast: Lizi’s Granola & Nature’s Path Gluten Free Porridge Review

It is the most important meal of the day and without it I get rather grumpy. So with that in mind I reviewed some breakfast options.

First up is Lizi’s Granola.

The press release calls it ‘the UK’s healthiest and most tasty breakfast cereal’. Lizi’s Granola is not new but has a new low sugar variant. It has less than 4% sugar. Impressive and definitely a plus with the amount of bad press sugar gets now. It is just not good for you. When I first tasted this granola I wasn’t sure if I liked it but as I finished I did. It is tasty and has just a touch of sweetness. It is nutty and oaty and also makes you feel healthy. It is high in fibre and all of the ingredients are natural. It is really good granola with less sweetness. You could also add more sweetness by adding fruit or yoghurt. Tasty and healthy.

Lizi’s Low Sugar Granola retails at £3.89 for 500g. Low Sugar available in Asda, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.

Nature’s Path Gluten Free Hot And Steamy Porridge Oats have the advantage of not having that other things people hate at the moment: gluten. The box has three flavours: original, spiced apple and maple. They are convenient, you can put them in the microwave after adding water, or just add some milk or water and cook for two minutes on the hob. They are high in fibre, suitable for vegans, kosher and made with natural, organic ingredients. But how do they taste? Amazing. High quality, even with water instead of milk and keeps you full until lunchtime. They are far too healthy to taste so good. Available from Waitrose, Ocado, eBay and Amazon.

Snack Attack! Snack Ideas From Frost

Choc Shot Liquid Chocolate

This is a brilliant invention. This liquid hot chocolate just needs to be stirred into hot milk. However it’s a hot chocolate that is not just for drinking. You can spread on toast, squeeze and shake for a milk shake and drizzle over ice cream, porridge and fruit. It tastes great, like a high quality dark chocolate. Not the bitter ones though, it is very sweet. It is 100% natural, low GI, GM and gluten-free, vegan and only 14 calories per tsp. Wow and wow. I think we just found out how we are going to be getting our chocolate fixes from now on.
