Nothing But Nutrition in Handy Snack-Sized Packs
At the new BBC Good Food Eat Well show last month we discovered some great companies bringing healthy option snacks and treats to the market. Treats you could eat without ruining your diet or suffering guilt pangs every time you snacked.
And while all these companies offered a fantastic snack alternative, Nothing But offered something a little more, in the form of freeze-dried fruit and vegetables.
"No longer do you have to choose between something nutritious and something tasty. Nothing But is a fruit or vegetable snack that brings you both. One sachet counts towards 1 of your 5 a day and is not fried or baked."
What we liked about these snack packs is that they were just right in quantity for an on-the-go snack, an ideal alternative to crisps - for adults and children - and they tasted great! The apple pieces were a favourite because when you held them in your mouth they re-hydrated back to chewy apple slices.
Peas and sweetcorn are a firm favourite at mealtimes, so to have them in a snack pack too was a great discovery. And because the flavour is retained without the feel of some vegetables, it makes it much nicer on the palate for those who are not usually so keen.
What Nothing But has achieved is an easy way to get some of your five-a-day while leading a busy lifestyle. We don't all get the time for home-cooked, balanced meals so it is good to know that when we are pushed for time, there are now more and more healthy options snacks available on the market.
And if you have ever stolen all the strawberries from the box of Special K then you will love the Nothing But Strawberry & Banana packs!
Nothing But is Vegetarian Society UK approved and is a free-from Awards 2014 shortlisted product.
