Mango Danio Yogurt

The Danio range has recently expanded as you will have seen from my last post and today I am sharing my view on the Mango flavour with you and once again I am sadly disappointed. The strained yogurt itself was lovely; thick, creamy, indulgent and nicely tart but the mango fruit layer at the bottom has a rather medicinal flavour which was just awful! It had so much potential because mango can be such a good and strong flavour when done right but this just doesn't do it justice.

I really wouldn't recommend this as it is isn't particularly enjoyable, but I suppose it is rather filling which is something good and low in fat.

Honey Danio Yogurt

Greek or strained yogurt as it is often known has to be my all time favourite because of how thick, creamy and filling it is. Packed with protein and calcium you just know it is good for you!

So when I found out about the expansion of the Danio range, I jumped at the chance to try the newest flavours that they had on offer.

The yogurt itself is quite tart as it is 0% fat but I quite like the flavour, it is the honey that I have a bit of a problem with because it was quite runny and I just didn't enjoy the flavour. Perhaps it is because I usually eat acacia honey and I am used to that flavour but either way I didn't really enjoy it. Or at least not enough to have it again.

Braw Raw Food Bars

So I received this lovely package from the kind people at Braw. Braw are a company that make vegan raw food bars, a bit like Nak'd bars if I were to compare them to anything.

And I can honestly say that they were absolutely delicious! So fruity and natural tasting, obviously due to all of the ingredients being totally natural. There was a lovely oaty flavour that was present in all of the bars. My favourite had to be the apple and pear, it was so morit would have been a lovely pudding with the addition of custard! 

The black current flavour reminded me of Ribena with its sweet yet slightly tartness (which worked perfectly in my opinion). 

The cocoa orange flavour was also lovely, and so was the strawberry.

Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Honey Caramel Greek Style Frozen Yogurt

I have finally gotten around to trying the Vanilla Honey Caramel flavour of the new Ben & Jerry's Greek Style FroYo and goodness me I am glad. It is simply divine! I personally cannot tell the difference between this and regular ice cream, it is creamy, sweet, and just delicious. I absolutely love it. Although it is lower in calories to most other regular ice creams it is still rather high for FroYo but if I'm honest it is so worth it because unlike other FroYo it actually is creamy with a good melt, not icy at all - something which always puts me off.

Overall it is delicious and is actually better and creamier than some regular non reduced fat ice cream which is pretty darn impressive

Ben & Jerry's Greek Style Strawberry Ice Cream

It is always a pleasure to see the latest flavours of Ben & Jerry's on offer so you can imagine my delight when I saw that there are actually four out! Three Greek Style and one Core flavour, I shall be reviewing them all over the coming week or two so keep watching!
I decided to try the Strawberry Shortcake Greek style, and I can say that it was absolutely delicious! It was creamy with chunks of strawberry in and massive pieces of shortbread which had the perfect texture, it hadn't gone soft with the ice cream as I initially feared but had retained a satisfying crunch that worked very well with the sweet and soft ice cream
The base flavour was lovely, as a vegetarian I think it is quite hard to find strawberry flavoured products because they often use carmines to colour it, so I am thrilled that I can have this tasty delight!
Also, another little bonus is that it is about 100 fewer calories than the regular Ben & Jerry's ice cream 150ml tubs so I can indulge with none of the guilt!

New Cadburys Lu Biscuit

Cadburys seem to be on a roll bringing out new products and I am absolutely thrilled because this is quite a unique product for the UK (although I am aware that there is a Milka equivalent, but we won't dwell on that too much now).

The packaging is rather nice, simple but very appealing with the classic Cadburys look about it.

Upon opening the new Cadburys Dairy Milk and Lu biscuit bar and I was greeted by the delicious and comforting smell that we all know and love of Cadburys. 

I couldn't wait to taste this new creation. The flavour was very sweet but still enjoyable because of its size I presume. It isn't too much so that it is sickly but enough to satisfy a chocolate craving, perfect with a cup of tea as an afternoon snack.

I rather enjoyed this bar and would strongly recommend you all to try it yourself, I am looking forward to trying the Ritz one because I am a lover of the sweet & salty flavour combination

Limited Edition Banoffee Muller Corner

Yet again I am here trying the latest offering from Muller and for a change it isn't half bad. The Banoffee Pie Muller Corner is rather pleasant, not a taste sensation or revolutionary but with a nice creamy banana yogurt (that tastes a lot like the yogurt that they use in their banana and chocolate hoops flavour) that works very well with the white chocolate coated biscuit balls (which also tasted a lot like the chocolate hoops despite it being white and not milk chocolate). Come to think of it, it tasted an awful lot like that flavour, hmmm perhaps a bit of a sneaky switch up but pretty much the same flavour but in a slightly different form.

Overall it is nice enough yogurt, better than most of the other muller corners that I have reviewed before but nothing exceptional, probably not even worth a try if I am honest.

Banana Flavoured Weetabix

Bananas and Weetabix, a classic combination for adults and children alike at breakfast time, so what's not to love about banana flavoured Weetabix!? 

Unfortunately there are a few things. Upon opening the pack I was greeted by a lovely banana smell that instantly had my mouth watering in anticipation of tasting these new and interesting Weetabix. The flavour itself is somewhat sickly because of how sweet they are, but thinking back on it that may be my fault for me having three so perhaps that isn't the best reflection. The banana was a little artificial tasting and they actually reminded me of foam banana sweets that you could get in Pick & Mix from Woolworths. The texture was typical of regular Weetabix and had they lovely warming and filling properties that you would expect so I was certainly left feeling satisfied until lunch after eating them.

Overall I would recommend trying them especially if you have a sweet tooth, they make a nice change from my normal plain (but tasty) vanilla overnight oats.

Chocolate Toffee Muller Rice

Yesterday whilst I was out shopping I spied yet another new Muller product, this time in the form of a Muller Rice. It has been a while since they have brought out a new rice pudding (or at least one that is suitable for vegetarians) so i made it my mission to locate the chocolate toffee one. 

I was greeted with the lovely smell of the sweet rice pudding with undertones of caramel which was certainly welcome.

I prefer to have my rice pudding heated so I popped it in the microwave for a minute so it was piping hot. The rice pudding bit itself was the same flavour that I expected but the toffee chocolate added a nice flavour too it, albeit a little predictable.

Overall it was nice enough, I wouldn't buy it again but it is certainly worth a try!

Almond Biscuit Muller Greek Corner Yogurt

I always look forward to the new and limited edition muller yogurts because they are always quite unique and innovative. Like the famed Mississippi Mud Pie Muller Corner or the ever so delicious Apple Strudel Muller Rice! 
So when I heard of the new Muller Greek Style corner I was desperate to sample it.
The yogurt was the traditional Muller yogurt which is as always delicious (and I honestly think that they should sell it on its own).
The almond biscuit bit wasn't that nice, it was ridiculously sweet, unpleasantly so. It will probably appeal to you if you like marzipan and things like that but personally I'm just not that big a fan, I thought that it was going to be more like digestive biscuits with flaked pieces of almonds but alas I was disappointed.
I have yet to actually review a Muller yogurt that has impressed me but I will continue to search in vain for this elusive flavour that will blow me away, perhaps the banoffee pie flavour will be more to my liking

Sweet Coconut and Vanilla Propercorn

Whilst I was wandering around Boots looking at all the items in the sale, I couldn't help but notice this bright pink package out of the corner of my eye and was instantly drawn to them! And I am rather glad that I did, because it combined two of my favourite things. Popcorn and coconut. Now I know that this sounds like a bizarre idea but I promise you that it works, and very well at that.
The flavour is sweet and mildly coconutty so that it doesn't overwhelm you, with vanilla being the predominant flavour here.
The popcorn is of the high quality that is to be expected from a brand such as Propercorn and it is relatively low in calories, coming in at only 109 per bag.
