PEANUT BUTTER TIME
Although he wasn’t able to persuade the millionaires on Dragon’s Den to invest in his product, Akeem Ojuko, founder of The Wild Peanut, has launched his range of naturally flavoured peanut butters.
Available in chilli, cinnamon, honey, chocolate and banana flavours, the range uses no additives, preservatives or palm oil.
A 40g taster jar costs £1.50 while the 450g jar costs £4.20, from www.yumbles.com, with a donation being made to the charity TREEAID for every jar sold.
USE YOUR LOAF
Soreen has brought a slice of sunshine to snacking with a new, zingy fruit loaf bursting with orange pieces, tangy fruit juices and sweet sultanas.
The Soreen Orange Loaf has less than 1.5% saturated fat and only 84 calories per slice. Find it on supermarket shelves with a RRP of £1.25.
TEA TIME
Whittard of Chelsea has created a device that will make cold tea appealing, and deliciously tasty.
It’s a bottle with a special filter that allows you to make cold brewed tea at home. Like cold brewed coffee, cold brewed tea is brewed over a period of three to six hours, to extract the flavours.
We put it to the test and found it very simple to use.
Simply put 5-7 teaspoons of your choice of tea leaves into a special glass bottle (£20 from whittard.co.uk), fill up with cold water then place the silicone filter and lid on top and pop in the fridge.
Refreshing and tasty, the bottle worked a treat, and looked pretty too.
Ideal for offering as an alternative to soft drinks at dinner parties, I suspect you’ll soon wonder how you managed without it …
