Canderel Green

 

As I have mentioned several times before I’m a big lover of tea and coffee but I have to add a little sweetness to it. For many years I’ve used Canderel tablets rather than sugar. Each tablet contains the equivalent sweetness of one teaspoon of sugar. The great thing about them is that they are calorie free, so for each teaspoon of sugar that you swap for a tablet you are saving yourself 20 calories. I’ve worked out that as I have around 3 tea or coffees a day, at 60 calories a day for sugar soon adds up. Over a week by using Canderel I’ve saved myself 420 calories.

A couple of month’s back I noticed the Canderel Green variety that is made with the sweet extracts of the Stevia Plant. The main difference between normal Canderel and the green variety is its ingredients. Whilst the normal ones are made with artificial sweeteners the green tablets are made with natural ingredients from the Stevia leaf. One thing that I really noticed the difference in was the taste. Just like Canderel it takes some getting used to but after a while I couldn’t really tell the difference. I now love my tea with Canderel Green, and knowing that it is made from natural extracts rather than artificial sweeteners makes it even better.

Canderel Green is also available in granule form which means you could sprinkle it over cereal or fruit rather than sugar, the granules contain 2 calories per teaspoon which is still a lot lower than sugar. Give it a go, but give it a chance.. I wasn't keen on it at first but I now use the tablets every day!

Kenco Millicano

Last week I was given a sample of Kenco Millicano, I tried it and absolutely loved it. It's their first wholebean instant coffee, it contains a mix of finely ground beans and instant coffee so that you get the great taste of ground roasted coffee but with the added convinience of it being quick and easy to make. Personally I think with coffee you definitely get what you pay for, with some things the cheaper versions of them can be great but with a £1 jar of coffee from poundland you definitely don't get the quality you would by simply spending a couple of pounds more.

This coffee is a really good quality and a lovely smooth texture and taste. You can get it in most supermarkets for around £3.99 however it's on offer in Tesco for £2.99 until the 20th of August. Even at £3.99 it is a fantastic price, if you are a coffee lover I would recommend trying it. If you are all for being eco friendly they offer it in a eco refill pack too.
