October Healthy Food Haul

Hi guys! I love shopping for healthy food and drinks. Holland and Barratt has been doing the penny sale this month (3 days left! So hurry before it finishes.) and I have of course done some shopping but only a little this time just to restock my kitchen. 

I ran out of baobab powder, protein powder and sunflower seeds so had to get restock them. Out of the three only baobab powder was on sale, £14.79 for one and so two for £14.80. The last protein powder I used was Good Hemp Fit Shake protein powder and since then I have developed a love for hemp protein and seeds. I like trying different brands so this time I bought Pulsin' Hemp protein, and it tastes a lot better then Good Hemp. (I recently found out that hemp is a type of cannabis, I am so slow! Lol. Did you know that?)  The sunflower seeds were only £1.99 for 500g, I thought that was a good deal. I love adding sunflower seed to my breakfast because it creates a nice crunchy texture.


A couple of weeks later, I went back to H&B to use my £4 reward coupon and I picked up a pack of cocoa nibs. Never tried it before but I seen it a lot on instagram. I follow a lot of healthy and fitness people on instagram, like me they post photos of their food and cocoa nibs have been featured a lot. 

I've been adding the cocoa nibs to my breakfast and it's got a quite bitter and slight sour taste. I'm not sure if I like it. I will try melting them in pancakes and see if they taste any better.


I went Sainsbury's the other day just to get Good Hemp milk and they have stocked some new stuff. Rude Health non- dairy organic milk. I bought all 3 including Good Hemp Milk. 


What I really like about Rude Health's milk is their ingredient. It short and simple. Only has words that you can pronounce, however I don't know how true that is because how do you make milk last for months or a year? But they have won a Soil Association Organic Award 2013 so must mean something.


Some of you might be thinking "why don't you just make your own non-dairy milk?" I know I can, I mean anyone can but the process is too long. I might do it when I have time though. 

I will definitely do a review on Rude Health's milk very soon. 

Did you buy anything from the penny sale? What did you get? Do you like buying healthy food and drinks?
