Boozy Berries – Pinkster Gin

At The Amazing Blog we can be a little bit cheeky at times. So, we love it when we come across products that entertain our sense of humour and are a little bit cheeky themselves. That is why we are so happy to present to you Pinkster Gin’s Boozy Berries, because who said you couldn’t have a tot of gin when you are getting your five a day?

These tipsy treasures are the heavenly result of making Pinkster Gin and offer a multitude of glorious uses; however we wouldn’t blame you if you decide to just eat them straight from the jar! Toppled over vanilla ice cream, dipped into dark, molten chocolate or stirred into puddings, these raspberries are destined to deliver.

Head over to Pinkster Gin’s website to order a jar for £6 and enjoy (not too) responsibly. 

 

Protein Ice Cream - Wheyhey

At The Amazing Blog we believe the key to leading a fulfilling life is balance. However, what if we told you that you could have the best of both worlds when it comes to satisfying your sweet cravings?

Presenting to you Wheyhey’s Protein Ice Cream, a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream with 20g of protein and less than 1g of sugar in each serving! You can now enjoy the creamy, sweet goodness of ice cream, with less guilt and the benefits of added protein. Available in Vanilla, Banoffee, Strawberry and Chocolate, it is easy to treat yourself no matter what flavour you yearn for. As self-confessed chocoholics, our personal favourite was Chocolate, but we’d be happy to tuck into any of the four flavours. 

You can try a Wheyhey Protein Ice Cream variety pack of three 500mL tubs here for £18. 

 

London Wine Week 2016

Following a hugely successful London Beer Week which saw 10,000 beer drinkers descend on The Old Truman Brewery in February, DrinkUp.London’s latest festival - London Wine Week - taking place this week (23-29 May 2016), was destined to be another great event! Here at The Amazing Blog we love attending events and we adore wine. So when we found out that LWW was wine-ding down this Sunday we promptly added it to our weekend plans.

The festival has returned to Devonshire Square for a third year, where all of the city's wine lovers can gather for a chance to enjoy a tipple or two. Filled with masterclasses, tutored tastings, supper clubs, meet the maker evenings, parties and pop-ups; you will have an opportunity not only to taste the wine and discover new flavours, but also to expand your knowledge about how wine is made or what food goes best with it. If all this wasn’t enough, over 100 venues across the city will be opening their doors offering £5 tasting wine flights and specially created food and drink pairings for those wearing the festival wristband.

For only £10 you will experience a brilliant event and have the opportunity to witness the very best that wine has to offer. So go ahead and purchase your wristband online here and enjoy your weekend!

Mahtay Natural Biorhythm - Mahtay

It is Monday again and here at The Amazing Blog, we sometimes need an extra boost to keep us going with the start of a new week. We’ve recently discovered Mahtay Natural Biorhythm, a vitality drink that helps to energise and get us charging through the day.

Mahtay Natural Biorhythm is a roasted sparkling Yerba Maté drink with refreshing coconut juice and antioxidant-rich acai berries. This healthy drink is low calorie, low sugar, and tastes great whether it is on its own or mixed into a cheeky cocktail. The Yerba Maté, sourced from South America, has invigorative and energizing properties due to the natural presence of Theobromine, a thermogenic fat burner that acts like caffeine but without the side effects of coffee. Coconut water contains bioactive enzymes that promote healthy digestion and increased metabolism, along with a variety of healthy vitamins and minerals. The Acai berries provide antioxidants promoting a healthy complexion and improving mental and physical endurance so you can work hard and play hard!
