Woolies has recently launched a snack pack called Macro Natural Nut Mix. The bag contains 5 single-serve packs 5 and costs $3.99, making a convenient and reasonably-priced snack. Sadly, convenience also means extra packaging. Each pack contains 30g of nuts (almonds, blanched peanuts, walnuts and cashews), which is the recommended serving size in the Australian…Continue reading Product review: Macro Natural Nut Mix

Product review: Huon Salmon to Go Deli Bites
Huon, the well-known Tasmanian salmon producer, has launched a new line of ready-to-eat products called Salmon to Go. I bought a bag of Deli Bites, hot smoked natural flavour, which only contains salmon, salt and natural wood smoke. Other hot smoked options are blackened spice, lemon pepper and sweet chilli, and there is also a…Continue reading Product review: Huon Salmon to Go Deli Bites
Product review: Hart and Soul cup soups
I wrote a product review for the nutrition site Foodwatch, ran by dietitian extraordinaire Catherine Saxelby. As all my reviews, this is a product I discovered while looking for a convenient, yet not overly processed source of nourishment. At the time, I was doing placement in Orange and I wasn’t able to cook every day.…Continue reading Product review: Hart and Soul cup soups
Product review: San Remo pulse pasta
I came across San Remo pulse pasta at the Gluten Free Expo a few weeks ago. Even though I very rarely eat pasta (in fact I never buy or cook it because I prefer using vegetables as the vehicle for sauces), these caught my eye because they are not just an empty source of refined…Continue reading Product review: San Remo pulse pasta
Product review: Well & Good all purpose cake mix
My goodie bag from the Gluten Free Expo contained a box of Well & Good reduced sugar all purpose cake mix. Even though I’m not a massive fan of cake I was excited to try it out mainly because it was my first time baking something out of a box. Luckily, it was my husband’s…Continue reading Product review: Well & Good all purpose cake mix
Product review: Helga’s gluten free gourmet rolls
Even though I’m not a fan of gluten-free versions of processed foods (no, the fact that something is gluten-free doesn’t make it automatically healthy), I was very curious when I found out that Helga’s had launched their gourmet gluten-free buns in partnership with Chur Burger and Bar Luca. I tried a couple of Woolworths stores…Continue reading Product review: Helga’s gluten free gourmet rolls
Product review: Green St Kitchen kimchi hot sauce
The makers of my favourite kimchis and krauts (see previous review) have a newish product in their line of fermented vegetable products: a kimchi hot sauce. It comes in a 280ml cough-syrup-style bottle. Be careful when opening it for the first time, as fermentation makes it fizzy. I’m glad I opened it over the sink.…Continue reading Product review: Green St Kitchen kimchi hot sauce
Product review: Peak Chocolate Bar by True Protein
Yes, this is a chocolate bar sold as a fitness supplement. This is the sort of thing that gets my coach fired up about the money-driven fitness supplement industry, but I could not resist and had to try it as soon as it got released. Given the ingredient list (80% dark choc, creatine monohydrate, BCAAs,…Continue reading Product review: Peak Chocolate Bar by True Protein
Product review: Fine Fettle Eats
I’ve been a Fine Fettle customer for several years now. Their flats have been a life saver when travelling, and an awesome healthy anytime snack. I’m always thrilled to try their new products at the farmers markets. This time the new kids on the block are Eats. Eats come in the universally recognisable instant ramen…Continue reading Product review: Fine Fettle Eats
Product review: Kooee! jerky
Jerky and macadamias are my go-to snack when I need something nutritious and portable. My favourite macadamias are Hand’n’Hoe (I buy them at the Eveleigh farmers market) but I’m still looking for the “perfect” jerky. I was researching some things (read: wasting time) on the net when I came across Kooee! jerky, which caught my…Continue reading Product review: Kooee! jerky
