Coconut Chia Muffins Mix - Ugg Foods

Here at The Amazing Blog, we understand how difficult it can be to find healthy, delicious foods that cater to those with diets restricted by allergies or intolerances. Ugg Foods makes it easier by providing quick mix kits for healthy and delicious treats that are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, soya free, yeast free, additive free, low glycaemic, diabetic friendly, have no added sugar and are tooth friendly. For those that are looking for natural, healthy ways of eating, these mixes also conform to Paleo and Caveman diets. The ingredients used in Ugg foods mixes will help stabilise your blood sugar, reducing cravings for harmful carbs and leaving you truly satisfied.

We were given the opportunity to test out their Coconut Chia Muffins quick ready mix pack. Much like regular cake mix, all we needed to do was to add eggs, olive oil, and almond or coconut milk. Unlike regular cake mix, there is no added sugar and no gluten! The mix can be used very flexibly, so if you want to use it for raw vegan recipes or if you want to add fruit, you can personalise it to your own needs. The Ugg Foods website also has a recipes section to help you out if you run out of ideas!

Grab a package of the Coconut Chia Muffins mix for yourself or for your health-conscious friends here for £7.95.

Beauty Vitamin - Vitness

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know that beauty comes from maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That is why we pay just as close attention to what we eat and drink as what we put on our faces. Luckily, we’ve just come across a tonic that makes us feel good both inside and out.

Vitness BEAUTY VITAMIN gives our skin the ultimate boost! Each bottle is packed with skin-firming collagen peptides, potent antioxidant Resveratrol, and anti-aging vitamins to hydrate, illuminate, and revitalise the complexion. As a bonus, the drink is also low in sugar and lightly sparkling to speed up absorption of the ingredients. It comes in three fragrant flavours: cucumber & melon, elderflower & chilli, and rhubarb & rose. We tried the elderflower & chilli flavour, and it really awakened our senses!

Vitness BEAUTY VITAMIN tonic will be soon available to buy on their website. For the time being, you can currently get it at Harrods, Harvey Nichols nationwide, Grace Belgravia, Equinox Gym and high end retailers in Dubai.

Healthy Drinks – Friday Favourites

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to stay healthy and fit... but sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge. One of the biggest health tips is to drink a lot of water; however, it can be so boring to drink the same thing every day! That is why we have formed a list of drinks that are good for your diet while leaving your taste buds craving more:

Our office fridge has recently welcomed a new natural ingredient: birch sap! It has been brought to us by Buddha Water, a refreshing drink that contains organic birch sap tapped from the forests of Finland.  This special ingredient is traditionally known for its detoxifying and cleansing properties.

So it’s time to forget about miraculous creams, pills, and expensive treatments. A can of Buddha Water give you everything you need to feel healthy and look great. The drink claims to work against cellulite, encourage weight loss, and lower cholesterol. It comes in a variety of flavours that are so subtle and delicious that we couldn’t really choose our favourite. It’s also perfect for office environments because birch sap promotes relaxation.

It’s time to embrace a healthier lifestyle! Try out one of the six flavours, you won’t regret it. Buddha Water is available in cases of 24 cans here for £32.99.

In April 2015, Mighty Bee, a brand known for certified organic products, launched a new line of coconut waters. Now we can easily absorb all of the health benefits that coconut naturally contains. Mighty Bee sources their green Nam Ham coconuts from Ratchaburi, Thailand, where they’re expertly picked at their peak ripeness to capture the natural aroma and sweetness.

The coconut waters are packed with complex B-vitamins, essential minerals, and amino acids that are retained by going from tree to bottle in 24 hours. The drinks are also never heat processed, and come either cold pressure processed (Raw) or completely untouched (Virgin) varieties.
 

Because the raw version is so fresh, it is sold fresh frozen and must be defrosted to enjoy. The Raw coconut water can be stored for up to 45 days thanks to the revolutionary processing method. To purchase, check out your local organic food store or shop here for Mighty Bee coconut water.

Next up we have Ojamin Herb & Fruit, a natural lifestyle and wellbeing tonic made from 15 different herbs and fruit that will help you feel and live better. The herbs are sourced specifically from pristine forests and are free from fertilisers, pesticides, and GMOs. Only the purest of spring water is used to make a drink that helps fight off diabetes, manage blood sugars, boost immunity, cleanse your body, and revitalise your skin.

To receive all of the benefits, all you have to do is mix one teaspoon of Ojamin with water, soup, juice or tea 2-4 times per day. Whilst being suitable for vegans, it is also gluten free, cholesterol free, sugar free, salt free, fat free, dairy free and aspartame free. Ojamin is the perfect way to start your morning with a boost.

After a week of trying Ojamin, we feel more energised and lifted. We cannot recommend it enough if you’re feeling fatigued throughout the day.

Take the next step towards a healthier lifestyle with Ojamin here for £34.99, and get ready to feel and live better.

TreeVitalise Organic Birch Water is 100% natural and that is exactly what we like to hear. All of the nutrients are naturally brewed within a tree and tapped into a bottle of TreeVitalise without any added sweetener.

Sourced from the Carpathian Mountains, known to be ecologically clean and natural, the organic birch water is made by tapping into birch trees that have absorbed the nutrients from the spring thaw. Only a small amount of the water is tapped, so the trees stay entirely unharmed! Birch water will help strengthen the immune system whilst purifying your body and assisting with weight loss. While the original flavour has the silky taste of the spring forest, TreeVitalise also produce versions that are infused with organic Lemon or Mint. We personally love the lemon flavour because of its zingy taste.

For a refreshing and healthy drink full of benefits, grab your TreeVitalise Birch water here for £2.75 a bottle.

Sunlover - Nutricosmetic Drinks

Here at The Amazing Blog, we understand that there are some nutrients we get best from the sun's warming rays. However, for the more fair among us, we'd rather steer clear of spending too much time in the sun. So when Sunlover sent us these nutritious drinks that claim to offer these very benefits in a can, we we're intrigued. 

Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the nutricosmetic beverage comes in two delicious flavours.  Protector, a thirst-quenching orange and carrot flavoured drink is great for topping up your vitamin levels, as well as protecting your cells from oxidative stress. As well as this, Copper helps to regulate and protect the skin’s melanin, whilst Zinc and Selenium help to shield skin cells from free radicals, ensuring you’re looking radiant and healthy at all times. Although refreshing, our favourite was the Regenerator, a pomegranate flavoured drink that's both nutritious and delicious. Containing VIQUA, it helps to keep elastin levels topped up, as well as providing a range of nourishing minerals and vitamins, making it ideal for keeping your skin at its absolute best. We also loved that Sunlover improves your tan, so we can prep for summer and get ready for that bronzed and flawless complexion. Did we mention that these sugar free beverages have zero calories? You can’t go wrong.

Sip on the sun in liquid form and have a radiant complexion that shines like sunbeams with Sunlover. Grab a can here for only £2.50.
