The Real Coconut Coconut Flour Tortilla Chips

A big thankyou to The Real Coconut by Daniella Hunter for today's review. Daniella's recipes, products and restaurants are dedicated to digestive well-being and as such, these tortillas are grain free, suitable for vegans and gluten free. I was very excited to try them because these are such a unique product, they're like a healthier equivalent of Doritos, so if you have digestive issues or are following a paleo or autoimmune style diet, these might be the thing for you! Isn't it nice to include everyone? :)

The chips are made from organic ingredients, and cooked in coconut oil rather than sunflower oil, so there's less of the unhealthier omega 6 fats. They're also made with non GMO ingredients. Of course all that's irrelevant if they don't taste the part, and luckily they're pretty darn addictive!

I started with the Himalayan Pink Salt variety which is made with coconut flour, cassava starch, coconut oil, xanthan gum, kosher salt and Himalayan pink salt. Taking a bite, it's super crunchy but unlike Doritos it's also very dense and filling, meaning you don't immediately eat it and reach for another. It kind of forces you to chew for longer (maybe the extra fibre from the coconut) and the coconut oil makes it feel more satisfying than sunflower oil. The pink salt is the perfect seasoning, not too intensely salty and compliments the savoury tortilla taste. Whilst these are indeed addictive, they fill you up at the same time which felt kind of odd - even though my mind wanted more, my stomach said no! Haha.

All in all I think these are a fantastic snack especially if you're following a gluten free, grain free type of diet for digestive health. I'd definitely buy these again as I think they'd keep my energy going for way longer than similar alternatives. 8.5/10.

The Sea Salt and Vinegar flavour has the same ingredients but with the addition of maltodextrin and white distilled vinegar. Now I'm not a big fan of maltodextrin, but I guess it's to stabilise the seasoning so I'll let them off. These ones are good, with a potent vinegar flavour, although I found it was a little too strong at times. I didn't like these as much as the Pink Salt flavour. 7/10.

Overall, these grain free tortillas get a thumbs up from me - even though I didn't like the vinegar ones as much I guess that's just personal preference. A spicy chilli or curry flavour might be a nice variation. If you're vegan, gluten free, grain free or following a paleo diet I'd recommend checking these out!

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-
Image
Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were pr...

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock...
