Acai Berry Superfruit Pack Original Blend – Sambazon

Here at TheAmazingBlog, we are all so passionate about health, wellness, and always love discovering the incredible properties that food can bring. So when coming across the Superfruit Packs from Sambazon, we could not wait to give them a try.

Sambazon is a fair-trade brand created in Brazil that aims to preserve and protect the Amazon Rainforest. They recognise it as a great resource, as well as, is where they obtain their main ingredient: the Acai fruit. The company presents the Acai in many different forms for you to choose from, such as Superfruit Packs, Frozen Sorbet, Energy Drinks, and Fresh Juices to Acai Powder. We personally opted for the Original blend Superfruit Pack, but once again, you have the choice to select the most suitable for you: between Pure Unsweetened, Supergreens, and Performance Protein Acai.

The Acai fruit is a super food known for being filled with antioxidants as well as omegas, fibre, and protein. The product is perfect to add into your favourite smoothies, acai bowls or frozen pops and certainly to sip under the sun by the pool! You do not even have to worry about inspiring yourself to make something creative, as you can find a number of different recipes right here.

Self-Watering Single Potted Herb Keeper – Cole & Mason

Here at The Amazing Blog we are always looking for new and useful time-saving accessories. That is why we were intrigued when we discovered the Self-Watering Single Potted Herb Keeper from Cole & Mason.

The Self-Watering pot is a fuss-free kitchen tool that increases the life-span of your fresh herbs. How does it work? The concept is very simple; you just have to put your potted herbs in the white container over a hydro felt pad. This hydro felt pad allows the plant to absorb water through it as it is needed, as the pad is connected to a vessel that can be filled with water through the spout. Water will evaporate from the vessel at a slower rate as it is covered, meaning less time needed for you to spend watering your herbs.  It also looks lovely sitting on your kitchen benchtop, with grey and white to perfectly complement the green of your thriving herbs.

Quinoa & Sprouted Snack Bars - PERK!ER

Here at The Amazing Blog, we can get a little greedy and hungry at times. But with summer fast approaching we need to think about keeping our bodies in shape! So you can imagine how happy we were when we came across the new British brand, PERK!ER, and their delicious healthy snacks!

We had the chance to taste their new plant-based Quinoa & Sprouted Snack Bars. All created with a blend of nutritious ingredients and based on the well-known superfoods Quinoa: a natural source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals, Cacao: known for its antioxidants properties, Chia: to help to get that a glow and boost the brain and Goji Berries: a source of Vitamin A perfect to get healthy-looking skin & immune system. The bars are also rich in antioxidants and omega 3 to save us from our morning or afternoon lull! The range includes four different bars: the Quinoa Bar Cashew, Chia & Pumpkin Seed; Quinoa Bar Cacao & Cashew; Quinoa Bar Goji & Cranberry and the Sprouted Oaty Cranberry & Cashew Bar. Our favourite is the Cacao & Cashew bar (probably due to our addiction to anything chocolatey) but there are all very tasty and will give you a shot of energy to keep you going until the next meal! Suitable for vegetarians & vegans, free from gluten, dairy and wheat, you can now enjoy a snack without guilt. A special mention for the lovely colourful packaging that comes just in time for summer, the perfect addition to our beach bag!

Raw Health Snacks – Saf Raw

Here at The Amazing Blog, once it gets to 3pm we often find ourselves reaching for a snack. However, we also want to maintain our healthy lifestyle goals. That is why we loved it when we got the opportunity to try the healthy snacks from Saf Life that provide more than the usual afternoon pick-me-up.

Saf Life’s Saf Raw range has been developed upon the philosophy of ‘Eat Pure and Nourish Your Life’. That is why all of their snacks are raw, created at a maximum of 46 degrees to retain the nutrients of all the natural ingredients.  We were lucky enough to try the Cereal Bites, Fruity Coconut Pastilles, Activated Crackers and Coconut Chips, with our favourite being the Activated Crackers for a crunchy savoury snack to satisfy our office munchies. Free from gluten, dairy and soy, and high in fibre, these little morsels are the perfect guilt-free snack.

Vintage Collection – Davenport’s Chocolates

Here at The Amazing Blog, we are not impartial to a little (or a lot of) chocolate indulgence. So when we receive chocolates to sample they often don’t even make it to the desk of our Executive Editor before they are devoured.
 
The fate of Davenport’s Chocolates was no different, with the luxurious box of 12 decadently embellished and masterfully made artisan chocolates destined for a short life. Each chocolate exhibits a unique centre, with the aim of evoking nostalgic British memories in every bite. Whether it is Strawberry & Champagne to bring about memories of summer lawn bowls, or Rum & Raisin Truffle to remind us of scoops of ice cream by the water’s edge; these chocolates each have their own tale to tell.

The crowd favourites were Coconut Marshmallow and Sea Salted Caramel; however we wholeheartedly encourage you to try them all for yourselves, if not for pure guilty pleasure, then as a show of patriotism to this nation’s past.  You can get your hot little hands on a box of 12 for £11.95 here.
