Mango CoYo Yoghurt

Now for my final (until more come varieties become available to me that is) review of the CoYo range. The mango flavour is a layer of compote underneath the thick and luxurious natural coconut milk yoghurt which as I have described in earlier reviews is lovely with a slight hint of coconut -I do still believe that this yoghurt would be perfect with dedicated coconut pieces in it just to give it some varying textured and a bit of bite. But regardless of this it is still a lovely flavour and I did really enjoy it. Due to it being so thick and dense it is incredibly filling in comparison to other yogurts.

Fox's Party Rings

It is always a lovely surprise when a childhood favourite becomes vegetarian. I am talking about the delicious and iconic Party Rings! The colourful doughnut shaped treats glazed in a delicious sugary icing. The biscuit base was buttery and crumbly just as I remember it and I couldn't help but grin as I started munching on them filled with childhood nostalgia. The icing looked pretty and tasted slightly fruity and sweet which worked well against the biscuit.

Overall I have to say I really enjoyed my little bag of Party Rings as they tasted fabulous and brought back floods of childhood memories, and I can't wait to try all of the other wild and wacky new flavours they have brought out!

Wild Trail Oat Bars

These Wild Trail bars are new on the market and absolutely delicious, they taste fresh and fruity with a nice soft texture. They are the same style as the more widely known Nakd Bars. The flavours are rather unique in my opinion and my favourite was easily the Cherry Crumble -even my mum who isn't a big fan of raw food bars loved it and said it was a filling and tasty snack that kept her full until lunch. 

Due to all of the fibre from the nuts and fruit it is a healthy snack that keeps you satisfied. The bars are naturally sweet and have no additional sugar added to them which keeps them healthy and relatively low in calories.

All of the bars were really tasty and I would recommend them to everyone and I can't wait until these become more widely available!

Kellogs Froot Loops (USA)

Cereal has to be one of my favourite things, along with import food because they are so different from what we are used to in good old Blighty. Every now and then I treat myself to a unique American import product and today that product is... Froot Loops! Now I know that we now have them here in the UK but the recipe is different. 

The flavour is a little bizarre, it is somewhat fruity but what fruit I'm not actually sure, maybe citrusy? There was not difference in flavour regardless of the colour you ate so the colour is more for decoration rather than flavour indication. 

Overall I really enjoyed these tasty little loops and they made a lively change from my regular cereals like Cheerios or Cookie Crisp (not that I don't still love them).

CoYo Natural Yogurt

I was rather impressed with the raw cocoa CoYo yogurt so I decided to try yet another product from their range. The plain natural flavour was lovely. I still can't get over just how thick this yogurt is! Imagine Greek yogurt but ten times thicker, I personally hate watery yogurts, they are generally unpleasant and lack any real flavour or substance.

The natural flavour had a lovely and subtle coconut flavour which worked perfectly. It isn't sickly sweet but it is quite a rich flavour making it feel like more of a luxury dessert yogurt than a regular daily yogurt if that makes any sense?

This would be perfect if it had shredded coconut in it but you can always add them yourself!

CoYo Raw Chocolate Yogurt

I think that the market for vegan yogurts is expanding here in the UK and all I can say to that is About Time! It is a nuisance to find delicious tasting dairy free yogurts. I am making an effort to try as many different types as possible so that I don't get too bored with what I'm eating (a rut that I often find myself in).

CoYo yogurts as you will have guessed are made me coconut milk and they are unbelievably thick, thicker than Greek yogurt and I love this about them, I was really worried that they would be watery, but no, they are incredibly thick and creamy. I tried the cocoa flavour and initially I wasn't too impressed with it because it wasn't very sweet and was actually a little bitter, but as I continued eating it it started tasting better and better. It worked incredibly well when I dipped banana  chips into it! 

If you are expecting it to taste like a bar of dairy milk then you will be disappointed as it is unsweetened cocoa powder that is used rather than actual milk chocolate as you would expect from a Cadburys Pot of Joy.

Freedom Vanilla Marshmallows

Marshmallows are probably the one thing that I miss most about being a vegetarian. I don't miss bacon or sausages or steak (okay I do sometimes have the odd craving for steak with chunky chips and peppercorn sauce, but I digress) but I do miss the foamy goodness that is marshmallows and sweets in general! 

I have been trying to hunt down these marshmallows for absolutely ages so whilst in town I went into the local Holland & Barratts and I spotted them, so I quickly went to the counter to buy them. 

Now, onto the review. They don't look like marshmallows if I'm honest, but they do smell lovely, with strong vanilla hints that are a good sign. The marshmallows themselves are incredible, seriously. I cannot get over how delicious they are, they taste just like regular marshmallows and the texture is just as good. The texture was my main concern as I was worried that they would be like Haribo Funny Mix but no, they are light and fluffy and just magical!

I can't wait to try the other flavours and products that Freedom has to offer!

Chia Pods

Chia seeds are very good for you with all sorts of health benefits and as a result this is quickly becoming the next big superfood. They are full of protein, omega 3, calcium whilst being relatively low in calories, so what's not to love? Well on their own they have very little flavour but they are versatile and rather good at taking on flavour as they swell up and resemble tapioca. 

I have been wanting to try chia seeds for a while but didn't really trust my cooking abilities to make my own chia pudding so when I spotted this Mango Chia Pod in Tesco I just had to pick it up! Now be warned they are rather expensive at over £2 for one small pod.

Now onto the review, flavour is quite nice albeit a little muted, it is free of any artificial sweeteners or sugar so it does have a lovely natural flavour which was live and refreshing on a warm summer day. The pudding part itself was lovely and thick and somehow quite creamy despite being devoid of any cream or even dairy products.

I can't wait to try the rest of the flavours that are available but I don't actually know where I would get them from

New Heinz Beans Meals

Beans are a staple part of my diet so whenever there is a new product out that involves beans I get a little excited (strange I know). So I was thrilled when I spotted these in my local Asda. Now they were a tad expensive in comparison to regular beans but this is probably to be expected as they are new and seem to be intended as a meal rather than just to go on your jacket potato or with your cottage pie.

Goodness me these are spicy! Delicious and full of flavour but incredibly hot so they are definitely not for those with a delicate palate. Normally I am not a big fan of spicy food but these are an exception as they manage to be flavoursome, with rich tomatoey tones in the sauce that help to mellow out the otherwise overwhelming heat.

Now the Chilli flavour was a lot milder in terms of heat and had a variety of different veg in it like sweet corn, kidney beans, peppers etc so it was very filling. It did taste a bit generic and like most vegetable chillies but that isn't a bad thing because it was still very tasty and packed with flavour.

Special K Caramel Biscuit Moments

I am a big fan of Special K products because as a General rule they are really tasty, full of flavour and quite low in calories. I particularly enjoy the biscuit moment range because they are a bit like Poptarts (something which I really miss as they real Poptarts aren't veggie friendly) anyway, the caramel ones are absolutely delicious! They are buttery, sweet and actually taste of caramel! I know that sounds like a daft thing to say but with diet products sometimes the flavours can be a bit hit and miss, by not living up to their name, instead tasting artificial.

Coming in at less than 100 calories they are perfect for the diet conscious but because of their fabulous flavour they are also perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Metcalfes Chilli Tweet Corners

I absolutely adore the Metcalfes range, the products are healthy yet full of flavour and make a perfect snack in replacement of the typical crisps so when I saw these in Boots I quickly stocked up on them before they were gone. I picked up the sweet chilli flavour because I have a bit of an aversion to cheese and anything cheese flavoured.

Anyway, moving on to the actual review, upon opening the packet I was greeted by a lovely heated chilli flavour, and I couldn't wait to actually try them. The base flavour is quite tomatoey which I really enjoyed and worked brilliantly with the chilli to help tone them down so as to not burn your mouth off! The texture was a little odd at first but I personally preferred this to the more traditional nacho style crisps. Not incredibly crunchy but still very good.

Overall I enjoyed these and would have them again as they are a healthier and in my opinion tastier version of Doritos
