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!

Afternoon Infusion by Graze

As I have mentioned before I love my tea, we absolutely love Yorkshire Tea in our house. A few weeks back I got the Graze afternoon infusion along with a yummy slice of banana cake in my weekly Graze box. Yesterday I received my second afternoon infusion along with an amazing lemon and poppy cake. The tea is incredible, it's refreshing and has a really unique taste. It contains a blend of Assam, Earl Grey and Kenyan tea leaves. I'm sure it's not just me that loves this tea, I think that Graze should start selling this separately alongside their boxes so that we would be able to enjoy this yummy tea all day long!
