Herbal Tea

I think this drink is a good pair for the snacks that I discussed in recent weeks. And yes, this is yet again another drink from the brand that I like, Twinings!

I have discovered that they have a line for Well-Being. it is composed of three herbal drink with natural ingredients chosen with care, rich in vitamins and minerals.

I chose ENERGY because I know that this is what I need the most everyday. And I am not gonna lie when I saw mango, I’m like.. okay, I do want to taste that!

It has an aroma of mango and pineapple with mint and ginseng with Vitamin B6. It is not a secret that vitamin B6 contributes to the normal energy metabolism.

This herbal tea has no caffeine and I am surprised.Well, this might be better than most teas I guess. Because this line aims to provide healthy benefits.

Rice Cakes

This is another gluten-free product which has always been a preference for me as a snack. Not necessarily gluten-free but because I love the crunchy simple snack plus the dark chocolate too! And I did mention how all the gluten-free snacks I have tried are yummy!

gluten-free

Although there are a lot of variants and flavors now, I do sometimes just get the plain ones, that is very basic hahaha But if I want to have a little bit more than basic then I always opt for Dark chocolate flavor like this. Very crunchy and very chocolatey!

The dark chocolate one I bought from Todis, it is a local supermarket near our apartment where I grocery shop very often.
And I really like it a lot. I have bought this again and again.


Nutritional Value per portion 1 pack has 4 rice cakes, and each portion of 2 35g:

  • Energy 167 kcal 8%
  • Fats 7,10g 10%
  • Saturated Fats 4,600g 23%
  • Carbohydrates 22,90g 9%
  • Sugar 10,40g 12%
  • Fibre 1,1g
  • Protein 2,30g 5%
  • Salt 0,00g 0%

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find more information about this particular brand. But I have found some interesting facts about rice cakes.

Rice cakes are made with the whole grain of rice. They contain all the nutritional properties typical of rice. To prepare them, the puffed rice grains are heated with steam and then pressed until the famous rounded wafer is obtained.

Benefits of a rice cake:

  • they are low in fat
  • contain less salt than some types of bread or crackers
  • they bring a good amount of mineral salts
  • brown rice cakes are even richer in dietary fiber
  • they are gluten-free (pay attention to those produced with added gluten rice)
  • they are practical to take everywhere
  • they are versatile and represent an excellent basis for preparing sweet and savory recipes

I do choose this over chips sometimes.
And I always say this, guys, I do eat chips and sweets when I want to, I just do in moderation. I believe that anything could be taken moderately. But in my mind sometimes I prefer rice cakes more than chips or more than sweet biscuits thinking that in some way, it is healthier. And yes, eating rice cakes for me should be moderate as well.

Face Sunscreen

I have loved another Spf from the same brand that I already featured here in my blog. And when I saw this, I got too excited and wanted to try it.

I am guilty of not using SPF all over my body during the cold season that is why I opted a face sunscreen instead hhahaha my dermatologists might roll their eyes LOL!

This is from the same line Nivea Sun which is one of the products I featured here in my blog. It says on the description about the product that it has a lightweight formula, zero perfume and it is especially formulated for sensitive skin. It leaves the skin hydrated, doesn’t clog pores and ideal for everyday use to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays especially from sun irritation, allergy and to maintain healthy skin.

This sunscreen protects your skin EXTERNALLY from UVA/UVB rays & the effects of High Energy Visible Light such as premature skin ageing. It also helps protect your skin INTERNALLY with powerful natural antioxidants.

NIVEA SUN UV VISO SENSITIVE FP50​ 50ml

This tube is 50ml, very cute and small that you can always insert in your bag if you want to carry it with you if you are out.

The two main ingredients are:

  • licorice extract
  • Vitamin E

These two ingredients are widely known to be beneficial to the skin.

Benefits:

  • Solar Protection
  • protection from sun allergy
  • soothing
  • non greasy feel
  • curative
  • anti oxidant

Opthalmologically approved. Dermatologically proven skin compatibility

Nivea Sun
Sensitive skin

sunscreen UVA UVB

Directions for use: It is advised to apply a generous amount before exposing your skin to the sun. And then reapply frequently, especially after bathing, after sweat or after using a towel to maintain the level of protection.

It is also mentioned as a reminder that reduced amount of quantity might diminish significantly the level of protection. Let it absorbed completely when applied.

Please be careful and avoid contact to eyes. And also avoid direct contact with hard surfaces and fabrics that could be stained.

And they also mentioned: to avoid prolonged exposure even with sun protection and that excessive exposure might provoke the harm of skin and don’t expose babies and young kids to the direct sunlight!

It’s been almost a month since I started using this everyday. I have finished up my other bottle of sunscreen. Ever since I turned 30 I am now very conscious of my skin’s needs. More conscious than I was in my 20s. It really does help a lot for skin protection, guys, so please do use this sunscreen if you can, it is really helpful.

I am not really happy about the consistency it is so “pastoso” as I would say in italian, it is not as smooth as I would like it when I apply it on the skin. But it’s ok, I do use another moisturizer so I can actually appreciate it after applying that.

It really is for sensitive skin as I didn’t got any irritation and I love that because my skin reacts immediately if there is something it doesn’t like.

The tube is very cute. I never realized that packaging is also important. I do prefer bottles and tubes rather than jars I just think it is more practical.

Plus it is affordable!

Guys, be mindful and please take care of your skin. I have always had a problematic skin so I try my best everyday. It is always unpredictable and so skin protection is one of my skincare routine.

It claims to be a balanced snack of 40-30-30. The formula is for anyone who follows a balance formula of macronutrients:
40% carbohydrates 30% protein and 30% fats

These bites are really delicious. it unites soy protein flakes and intense dark chocolate. this snack is perfect for each moment of the day whenever you want to take a break. In fact, this mini mono pack I must say is very cute. I really like that it is so tiny and easy to put in my bag!

I feel like this is the kind of snack that I would most prefer to have if I can.

I know I always say that every now and then I do splurge into snacks and sweets sometimes and that for me, it is more important to take things in moderation.

That is why having protein snacks like this being available in the market makes it easier for us to have more choices. And if I have the chance, I will always choose this.

I am all for eating whatever you want and need but just make sure this is also paired with a healthy lifestyle.

As always, I hope you like this article. Thanks for reading!

I would repurchase this again if I have the chance (it is kinda not cheap LOL). I like the idea that this is actually a product for women. I would be honest, I noticed the difference more with my hair than my skin. I have extremely problematic skin you all know that and it is really tough to see any difference unless I do take a product more consistently, like several weeks or months. But with all the benefits that this supplement is offering, then this is great. The content is well-thought of when it comes to the needs of the skin.

As I always say, listen to your body. And please do note that supplements should be paired to a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. To my experience, I should always be careful with what I eat, that I should sleep well and exercise as it shows on my skin when I don’t take care of it in a lot of aspects.

I hope this would be helpful for you if you are looking a product for the skin. Just read the content, research more information and ask your health care professional.

Thanks for reading! I will see you on my next article. Ciao!

Plenum supplement

This is prescribed to me by my doctor and yes it has been a nice addition to my habit of taking supplements. I think that it gave me something more, I felt it in my energy, I saw how my skin improved. And now I will share with you what I have learned reading their website upon my research.

Plenum food supplement

The PLENUM Supplement box contains 30 stick packs. I don’t know how I lost the photo so I cannot even show you. But I guess you can just imagine the small stick which I think some of the other supplements is is similar in terms of packaging. Each stick has granules which by the way tastes so good. I just take it as it is directly in the mouth and it dissolves immediately like candy.

According to their website “Plenum is a supplement which keeps the intestinal microbiota healthy and in balance.” It is a food supplement of the Plenum line, an adjuvant in the reintegration, protection and conservation of the intestinal microbiota. This is commonly called “bacterial flora”, promoting correct intestinal function.

The intestinal microbiota is a set of microorganisms that is present in our intestine, capable of synthesizing substances that are essential for the functioning of the body. It increase the permeability of the intestine and reduce systemic inflammation.

The immune system also benefits greatly from this product, thanks to the combined action of probiotics and zinc, which strengthens our defenses.

Plenum’s exclusive formulation is based on: Lactoferrin, 9 billion Tyndallized Lactic Ferments, Phos, Vitamins and Minerals. It helps the intestinal microbiota by:

  • restoring bacterial microflora in case of disorders such as intestinal dysbiosis, acute gastroenteritis, intestinal inflammations, colitis, irritable colon, cystitis and diverticulites.
  • treaing bacteria and germs which are the roots of skin problems such as acne, oily skin (hyperproduction of sebum), rosacea, pityriasis versicolor. All ailments counteracted by the intake of probiotics and Lactoferrin, which has an anti-inflammatory action and fights microbes, fungi and bacteria, working from the intestine for the integral well-being of the organism. This product also helps protect the skin from problems deriving from other factors such as antibiotic therapies, capable of triggering allergic contact dermatitis, and frequent disinfectant washes that alter and damage the skin and cause allergic reactions.
  • taking special care of female well-being. Urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, vaginal infections, cystitis, candidiasis, vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginalis. There are many problems that afflict women of all ages. Probiotics are a natural and effective solution, capable of restoring the natural pH and preventing bacterial proliferation inside the vagina. Use of vaginal pessaries and douches

The intake of Plenum Supplement is also recommended in the case of instrumental diagnostic tests such as colonoscopies, rectoscopies, CT scans and X-rays, etc.. A balanced microbiota protects us from radiation damage.

Now I know why I always see and hear phrases like, take care of your gut. Because I learned from all of these information that all ailments and disorders comes from our intestines. And the intestinal microbiota is very important to our over all health.

Reference values for 1 stick pack.

Plenum food supplement

Plenum is a food supplement based on:

  • Lactobacillus plantarum tyndallized 4,5×109 cellule (30 mg)
  • Streptococcus thermophilus tyndallized 4,5×109 cellule (30 mg)
  • Lactoferrin 20 mg
  • FOS 800 mg
  • Niacin 16 mg
  • Vitamin E12 mg
  • Vitamin B2 1,4 mg
  • Vitamin B6 1,4 mg
  • Biotin 55 mcg
  • Zinc 10 mg

The lactic ferments contained in the product are tyndallized. This means that the microorganisms are inactivated through a thermal process, keeping intact their structure and the properties that make them effective. The tyndallization treatment has a series of advantages for the lactic ferments contained in Plenum.


I never even thought that any supplement would lead to weight gain but this is the first time I hear a supplement noting that taking their product does not lead to weight gain. So that is really interesting. It also has no contra indications. In fact my doctor didn’t site any.

Taking Plenum does not lead to weight gain.

The recommended dose to get the maximum benefit from the supplement is one (1) stick pack per day, to be taken preferably in the morning. The contents of the stick pack dissolve directly in the mouth, without water.

In fact this is is how I have taken it for at least 3 months as prescribed to me. 1 stick pack a day for five days a week that I normally take in the morning.

Plenum is a food supplement and is not intended as a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Excessive use can cause laxative effects.

Please be mindful that the dose should be correct as it is a laxative!

Plenum has other product lines for each type of needs and I was a little bit surprised to be honest. Although I am glad to know that it is a well known supplement which caters to each person’s needs. Men, women and even children. I think that goes to show how valid this brand is.

I am not sure, guys if you can buy this over the counter but please make sure to consult your doctor first.

Tofu

This is another food item that is now included in my favorite list.

I have been familiar with this ever since. Some philippine dishes use this as an ingredient.

According to my research, Tofu is a product obtained by curdling soy milk which in turn is the extract result from yellow soy beans. And it is pressed into blocks with special dedicated tools to making cheese. The production of tofu from soy milk is similar to that of cheese from cow’s milk that is why tofu is often also referred to as “vegetable cheese”.

This is very much used not only in the Philippines but also in other oriental countries. It has neutral taste and very soft in consistency.

Block tofu is also called “dry tofu”: this is the most easily available product in large-scale distribution. And this is actually the tofu that i know! It has a firm consistency, and can be cut into slices or cubes .

Silken tofu or velvety tofu on the other hand, is not yet found in large retailers but in organic food stores. You can find it both in trays and in tetrapak packages. Its consistency is very similar to that of a very soft pudding. It is used in vegan pastry to obtain spoon creams, fillings to guarantee consistency and a good binding power in doughs.

Tofu contains a discreet amount of vegetable fats and minerals like magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and calcium that is why this is a good supplement for bone strength. This is also a variant for meat as it is rich in vegetable proteins. It has very small amounts of calories. No fats and no cholesterol.

I do know that vegetarians and vegans love this food item because of this reason.
In fact, out of 100 g of product we have 15 g of proteins, 10.5 g of fats and 1 g of carbohydrates. It is also perfect for those suffering from celiac disease because it is gluten-free

It is generally safe to consume unless particular soy allergies have been found or if a person is affected by tumor or thyroid problems.

This particular brand I have already featured in one of my articles. Verde Amore has other vegan and vegetarian products just like the veggie burger that I have talked about here in my blog. I am really glad to find Tofu in their product line.

It has a simple taste and it can be cooked as a part of a dish or just plainly this bread, pasta or rice and even salad! Filipinos do use this to make pansit which is a very well-known party dish in the Philippines which is a variant of the Chinese soy spaghetti noodles.

Please do consult your healthcare provider if you aren’t allergic to soy or you don’t have any medical condition, you won’t have any problems consuming this.

I appreciate this more now that I am on the look out for nutritious food. I really like it a lot. It is simple and healthy at the same time. It is so easy to prepare and cook. Highly-recommended! With the growing market, it is now highly available even in grocery stores and supermarkets.

As always, thank you for reading! I hope you find this helpful. See you on my next article!

Dark Chocolate Powder Drink

Cioccolata Calda Fondente 5pz 100g

It is truly apparent that I like Lindt. This is not the first time that I feature this brand here in my blog. I have loved Lindt especially their dark chocolate which is for me one of the best dark chocolates out there in the market.

From Castroni store where I discovered the cream spread. I have seen this there as well. I drink hot chocolate in the morning at least once a week so when I saw this product I got intrigued.

Created in Maîtres Chocolatiers Lindt laboratory, Lindt dark chocolate became a delicious a dark chocolate drink.

This box contains 5 portions ready in a few minutes. It is creamy and dense as it is described! I am really happy about that.
