I’ve been putting a weird, white powder in my coffee for a few weeks now and haven’t let on what it actually is, but man have I enjoyed the guesses. No, it wasn’t a very small amount of whey protein, nor was it some other white powdery substances that were suggested… (2020 has been hard, …
For those of you not in the know, I have an old school biscuit, chocolate box. You know the ones from your packed lunches when you were a kid. Current residers are; Toffee Crisps, Breakaways, Rockys, Clubs (orange ofc), Yorkies, Blue Ribbons and Kitkats. The entire gang. It’s pretty full to the brim and I …
Making your own Kefir! Kefir is a fermented milk (kinda like yoghurt) that provides mega helpful probiotics (bacteria) to the gut. Sounds so wholesome and healthy and the exact thing to be doing with lockdown time, right? I had such high hopes for this to be a really useful post on how to create your …
