Yu! Healthy Snacks

As some of you who follow me may know, I went back to university very recently to do a masters degree and I have been a very busy lady- it's been quite a big step up from undergraduate level!
 
When the kind people at Yu! offered me some samples of their healthy fruit snack range to try, I was always on the go. These could not have arrived at a better time!
 

Running from one class to another, as well as trying to fit in as much library time as possible to crack on with my heavy workload- my Yu! snacks were always easy to throw into my bag and so I could enjoy a healthy energy boost when I needed one.
 
Yu! Healthy Snacks are made from real fruit and are Vegetarian Society approved. They have four different products in their range: Granola, Fruit Chews, Fruit Bars and Fruit in a Yoghurt Coating. All of which are delicious but my favourites were the fruit pieces in yoghurt as they really felt like a treat and helped satisfy the mid-afternoon sugar craving.

Top new kid at university tip! Carrying snacks with me all the time seemed to be conducive with making friends over the first week, who also really enjoyed them.

Provamel Almond & Oat Milk

The good people over at Provamel sent me over some of their new Almond Milk and Oat Milk to try a few weeks ago, unfortunately I've only just got around to trying it!


The technical bit... Provamel Almond and Oat milks are 100% Organic and dairy free! Provamel have an existing rang of soya and rice products, however these two milks are also completely soya free. The Oat milk is packed with fibre and protein, while the Almond milk is rich in Vitamin E. It's available from Holland & Barrett and Health Food Stores at £2.99 for a litre of Almond milk and £1.59 for a litre of Oat milk.


What I did with them...

Breakfast Smoothie made with Oat Milk, Banana and Peanut Butter!

Porridge made with Oat Milk and Banana

Almond Milk Coffee

My Opinion... I really enjoyed getting to try new products, particularly as I've only really used soya and rice milks in the past. The almond milk was sweet with a rich almond flavour and the oat milk had a pleasant mild taste which I preferred. I would definitely recommend these products and would use them again, as although I am not vegan I would like to relinquish my dependence on dairy products.

Innocent Veg Pots

I recently got some Innocent Veg Pots from Tesco because they were half price. They are so yummy and they have great selection of flavours. All vegetarian and some vegan. The only issue is they are really expensive!

Vegetarian Alcohol

Although a lot of people do know which beers and wines are vegetarian, or stick to a couple they know are, I think it is good to have a comprehensive understanding and list. Alcohol can contain many things which make it not vegetarian, such as: gelatin, isinglass and casein.

As a vegetarian I have found Veggie Wines a really helpful tool. It tells you all about what can make alcohol not vegetarian and then also has up-to-date listings of popular and supermarket brand beers, wines and spirits and whether or not they are vegetarian. It is a fantastic resource, so get revising your vegetarian alcohol so that you don't get caught out down the pub!
