#MustTry Products
I have picked out some products that I have come across and just HAD to tell you about....
Spiceway
Varo
Varo Foods, are passionate about authentic Nigerian food. They make delicious ready-to-eat meals and sides such as Moinmoin and Jollof rice. Varo use traditional recipes and the best ingredients.
Varo's new range of products make eating African food quick, easy, delicious and affordable too. Yet they haven't cut any corners. They've stuck to traditional recipes and select only the highest quality ingredients. The Jollof rice is spicy and has a great flavour to it, I prefer the Jollof with vegetables, this heats up in only 2 minutes in the microwave. Perfect! The MoinMoin has a unique taste and goes well with rice or Ogi. Their Jollof Rice is free from artificial preservatives or colours and is 100% natural, the way it should be. |

The Raw Chocolate Company
The Raw Chocolate Company have spent over seven years perfecting their recipes, experimenting and learning how to make really good Chocolate. Their Chocolate is raw. This means from harvest to bar the temperature does not exceed 42°C. Why? Because this retains as many nutrients as possible, creating a luxurious Chocolate bar that has a positive effect on the body, rather than a burden.
You can taste that this is real chocolate because you can't eat the whole bar in one go because you get all your satisfaction from just a few pieces. Dark chocolate, as we all know has a bigger raw cocoa (aka Cacao) percentage, which in turn means you do not need a lot to feel satisfied. The Chocolate is vegan, cane sugar free and soy free. So there is nothing stopping you from going out and enjoying a bar. |

Meet your Maca is my favourite out of the four, it is sweet but you can tell its a natural sweetness. The packages looks small in the above pictures but they are quite big.

Pulsin - Beond
The ultimate in between meal snack.
When I first opened the packet and saw the appearance of the bar I was not expecting it to taste so good. I felt so healthy eating it. The blueberry flavour was my favourite because you could really taste the blueberries, it did not have an artificial taste to it. One Beond bar gives you 1 of your 5 a day. Their natural and organic Beond bars come in a range of tantalizing flavours, guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a pep in your step. Beond have bite size as well as full size, bend bars fit neatly into your handbag or lunchbox for a guilt-free treat that's low in fat, low GI and bursting with goodness. |
Spoon Cereals
Breakfast is very important, in fact its the most important meal of the day. Owners, Annie and Jonny know this so they brought us 'Spoon'. They bring us an exciting range of granola and muesli.
There are four different varieties which are Fruit + Nut Muesli , Granola/Muesli Mix , Peanut + Apple Granola and my personal favourite is the Cinnamon Granola. No wonder it's won the great taste award. Spoon do not compromise on taste or flavour so you are in for a treat.

Kankun SauceMexican Fire!
These sauces are the real deal. The thing I love about the flavour is it's so versatile. You could use it with almost any dish. There are loads of different recipes and ideas on their website that you can try out. KanKun also make a marinade so if you don't feel like seasoning the chicken tonight just pour this sauce on and let it do its magic. People will be complimenting you on how great it taste so fiery and authentic...trust me on that one. If you are worried that it will be too hot, do not fret because they come in mild, medium, hot and extra hot. Spice lovers, this ones for you. |
Cuckoo
This product has won the best taste award for two different flavours and I know why now. I love food but I don't really have much time for breakfast in the morning (I even wake up early just so I can eat) But everything I want takes too long to prepare, so it was a blessing to come across Cuckoo. It's very hard for me to get full but I kid you not this kept me happy. It's hard to choose a favourite because they were all so nice, was the apple and cinnamon. Cuckoo are all natural so it is a guilt free snack to have on the go. You HAVE to try it, pick one and give it a try. I promise you, you won't be disappointed! |

Nom
Founder, Steph, developed severe allergies in her early 20’s and became increasingly interested in diet and nutrition. She made the first ever batch of bars in her kitchen. She began to sample the bars amongst friends and family, and the feedback was unanimous: “nom nom nom”. The Nom bar was born.
They proudly display the Vegan Society logo and the Ethical Company logo, which means that Nom products contain only plant-based ingredients that have been grown without exploiting animals, people or the planet.
I normally don't like banana flavour but I liked this one because the flavour was not too overbearing. I loved the taste of these oat based bars which are made with virgin coconut oil. The coconut oil mixes well with all the different flavours and its healthier, which is also a bonus when it comes to finding a guilt free snack. My favourite flavour is cacao & raspberry so check that one out first.
