Protein Bites By Nibble

Unfortunately, a lot of so-called ‘healthy’ snacks are full of sugar, and Nibble just couldn’t stomach this anymore (pardon the pun). When Nibble created their Protein Bites, which are delicious, healthy and high in protein, our appetites here at The Amazing Blog were wetted.

Protein Bites are high in protein (obviously), a great source of fibre, low GI and low in sugar. In layman terms, this all means that you stay fuller for longer, so you won’t be tempted to snack on empty-nutritious foods, and you also won’t get that dreaded sugar crash later. In fact, Nibble are lower in sugar than almost all other brands, and by a lot. For those with dietary restrictions, they are also dairy free, gluten free, date free, and vegan – hoorah!

You might think this all sounds a bit, well, bland. Think again! Protein Bites are packed with flavour, and come in some very tempting flavours, including Sour Cherry, Choc Chip Cookie, Lemon with Coconut, and Mocha. These are simply the perfect healthy snacks for on-the-go, a little energy boost when you’re feeling low or can’t quite get through the seemingly endless gap between lunch and dinner. The bites are made of antioxidant-rich dried plum puree, instead of the over-used and strange-tasting dates, and a blend of toasted pumpkin/sunflower seeds (for nutty flavour and texture) and pea protein (for that much-needed high protein content).

Purchase the pack of 8 Protein Bites  here for £18.00, Nibble Protein Bites are also available at Ocado for £2.39 each.

Nim's Fruit Crisps

In the office at The Amazing Blog we nearly always stroll into our fav local cafe Lots Larder  at lunchtimes - they do really yummy healthy homemade food which we all adore. But the same thing always catches my eye – crisps. I have to confess to being a bit of a salt and vinegar crisp fiend. I'm always trying to find healthy alternative but without success. Imagine how happy I was to discover Nim’s Fruit Crisps ...  These clever people launched at a recent natural food and beauty show - where it was five people deep - all struggling to sample these unique fruit crisps.

Nim’s Fruit Crisps are a delicious and healthy snack. It is a new and innovative way to enjoy one of your five daily recommended servings of fruit.  They are made 100 percent from natural fruit. The fruit is thinly sliced and then air dried. The process in which this is done maintains the fruit’s colour, nutritional content, and enhances the flavour. They come in a variety of flavours: apple & strawberry, apple & kiwi, pineapple & mango, pear &kiwi, and orange & melon. None of these flavours have more than 76 calories which proves how healthy they are for you. Nim’s Fruit Snacks are a perfect snack for people of all ages. Whether you want a snack at work or school, or a quick little bite to eat before the gym, these crisps are ideal. So like me,  forget about your favourite salt and vinegar crisps and pick up Nim’s Fruit Crisps instead! Although they are more expensive than your average packet of crisps we think that at £1.29 a packet for something that is just as filling but with the benefits of up to 41mg of Vit C, 9.5g of protein, and 0.15g of fat -  it's a no-brainer. Tempted? They are available in all Planet Organic stores as well as on their website, nimsfruitcrisps.com
