TOP FOOD & DRINK
Set taste buds tingling with our pick of the tastiest healthy new food and drink, plus an eggy new read.
TASTE OF JAPAN
Traditional Japanese diets are full of gut-friendly fermented foods, such as miso, which is fermented soy paste with health benefits that include improving digestion and supporting immunity. Try Yutaka Organic Miso Paste (£3.30, yutaka.london), which adds a creamy umami depth and flavour to stir-fries, sauces, soups, stocks and marinades. Made with organic soybeans, it’s gluten-free and suitable for vegans. Available from Sainsbury’s.
VITAMIN SPIKE
We love the fruity, mineral-rich deliciousness of Cacto Prickly Pear Drinks (£12 for six, cactodrinks.com). Made from the spiky but sweet-tasting prickly pear cactus fruit, which contains magnesium, calcium, vitamin C and plenty of phytonutrients, it comes in flavours including Prickly Pear with Strawberry, Guava & Dragonfruit, and Pear & Lemon. The low-calorie drinks have no added sugar, ar tificial ingredients or additives and only natural flavourings.
TOP TEA
Kickstart your day with Pukka Herbs Morning Berry Tea (£4.99, pukkaherbs.com), a blend of bold berry flavours with uplifting rooibos and hibiscus flower.
It’s a gentler alternative to caffeine, but the ethically sourced ingredients are selected to put a spring in your step by boosting energy levels. These include rosemary to support memory and cognition, plus ginseng to energise mind and body. Available from Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and ASDA.
Morning power-up
Get your protein fix in your morning coffee with Velo Coffee Roasters Velo Coffee + Protein (£9, velocoffee.ie/en-gb). The ready-to-brew real coffee contains 12g of protein per serving, which is quarter of an average adult’s recommended daily dose. It’s made using 100 per cent Arabica coffee beans from Brazil and Colombia, then blended with whey protein for an energising coffee that helps you build and maintain muscle.
