Percola Cola


To be perfectly honest, i didn't realise that you could buy organic cola, so was quite surprised when i received this.
Normally, i always stick to Coca Cola, but was more than willing to give this a go, and quite glad i did!
With no additives or artificial flavouring, this had a very nice taste and wasn't too sweet - i pretty much got the same response from the rest of the household too. My only complaint would be that it slightly lacked in fizz - however my other half has sensitive teeth so he found this wasn't a problem.

Syrup Waffles


These were so simple to heat, they can either be warmed in the oven, or amazingly, you can sit them on top of a cup of hot tea/coffee until they heat and the syrup softens.....now how good's that?
This pack contains 6 waffles which have a generous helping of golden syrup running through the middle of each.
My youngest daughter wasn't very keen, but again, my eldest loved them and said that she would happily like to have these on a regular basis. My partner and myself both enjoyed them, but did find them slightly sickly - so 1 each was the limit!
Overall, a very tasty treat, but only in moderation.
Please check out GoodnessDirect http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/home.html they have loads of exciting products on site - well worth a look!

Meat Free Pepperoni


Well, admittedly i was a little sceptical about trying this as i'm definately no fan of Pepperoni, however, this meat-free alternative was simply delicious!
It has a really nice consistency, isn't too stongly flavoured, but enough so you can taste it and its again, ideal for lunchboxes. My eldest daughter who's 15 absolutely loved this and is now asking for it all the time - really must get some more. My youngest daughter (the fussier of the two) wasn't quite so keen - she was willing and gave it a go, but it just wasn't to her taste. My other half also was daring (as he's pretty fussy too) and his verdict was that it was quite nice, but he couldn't manage alot of it - i reckon they are an ideal size!
Ideal for vegetarians but also a great snack for meat lovers too - you can purchase this from GoodnessDirect here http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/home.html
They also offer free delivery on all orders over £35.00 so well worth a look!

Jordan's Frusli - Cranberry and Apple


Advance apologies for the pic being of an empty packet - but this was just so yummy, i couldn't keep it out of my mouth long enough to take a pic!
A delicious cereal bar made from Wholegrain Oats and flavoured with Apple and Cranberry - not too hard and not too soft, just the way i like them. These are so full of flavour and very satisfying whilst still being healthy, so no guilt having eaten more than one!!!
My kids also both really enjoyed these and commented on how scrummy they were, so thats an extra item suitable for packed lunch boxes as well as being a handy snack to have either at home or on the go.
Huge thumbs up all round for these which are also available to buy from the fabulous GoodnessDirect.co.uk - just click here http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/home.html

4 Way Mix and Yoghurt Bananas Review


My extremely fussy other half was the first to open and try these - amazingly, i had to grab the packets from him to try for myself and so i could get a pic before they all vanished!
GOODNESS YOGHURT BANANAS
Personally, i chose not to try these, mainly because i'm not a big fan of bananas! My kids however tried them, and as you already know, my other half did too! Everyone seemed really impressed with these although they found the banana slightly hard - their preferred way of eating them was to bite the yoghurt from around the outside and then let the banana melt in their mouths.
Thumbs up for these and very few calories too!
GOODNESS 4 WAY MIX
Next we all tried the 4 Way Mix - delicious raisins and peanuts covered in either milk chocolate or yoghut. These were a huge hit all round - even more so when i discovered they had ZERO, yes, thats right, ZERO calories!!! Kids loved them and myself and the other half loved them too. Ideal for a snack throughout the day or for putting in kids packed lunch boxes, without the guilt!
Both of these products are available from the GoodnessDirect.co.uk website
