New company offers fruit powders, matcha and health books - my review of PhytoFit

This is how things go in my household nowadays - I turn on my iMac, thinking that I really need to update my blogs, and instead I stumble upon an interesting blog written by somebody else, where a link catches my attention and leads me somewhere else….until I realise that two hours have passed and my blogs remained intact!

Which describes, by the way, exactly what happened yesterday evening. I was browsing a lovely blog named anywaytostayathome, and of course I checked all the links there. Among them there was mojomums, which was also rather intriguing, and once again, I checked their links.

I ended up checking a new website called Phyto-fit. Mmm. That sounded interesting. Phytos means plant in Greek, so I had to have a look. Immediately. And was I glad I went there!

First of all, their mission is inline with mine, "Our mission is a simple one. To become the largest Natural Health Based Solutions Company within the UK. Its so hard for consumers to know what is actually ‘healthy’ as there are so many conflicting opinions. Just try typing in ‘healthy diets’ into google and see what a minefield it is!"

I hear you! Second, their product line is exciting and healthy and can satisfy sophisticated and simple minds alike by providing freeze dried food powders of both so called 'normal' and super foods.

As a dehydrator enthusiast I've been drying up my foods and making powders for over four years, maybe five now, and I know how useful their are. When I am in a rush and I can't be bothered to run to the polytunnel to grab some kale, I use my powdered kale and save precious time.

As a nutritionist I know that  whole food powders, albeit a bit expensive, can really add a third dimension to quick and healthy nutrition for those who are on the go. I use powders in smoothies, cakes, ice-creams, sauces, soups…the list is endless.

So I had a thorough look at the entire site, checking all the links (only two were not working, which means they are work in progress as this is a new site), and clicking on every product I could find.

Fruit and vegetable powder bundle looks like the first thing you will want to check out! For £24,99 it offers a 75g bag of the following flavours: Strawberry, Banana, Super Greens & Carrot. -

Phyto fit also offers nutrition advice in the form of Health Guides books (not sure how many pages), offered also as a bundle or separately. Now, regarding those books, when I looked at the page there was no information about them, but after half an hour browsing the site I accidentally found another page with each book description.

However, when I returned to the main page I could no longer locate that page - but let me tell you it's there somewhere!

There are also a few Recipes, such as Apple, Cinnamon & Baobab Bites, so keep checking the site for new content coming up as they grow. You might ask, "Are you sure that we are meant to eat TREES?" 

Yes, I know, Baobab is not found in Tesco, but trust me, it's a nutritious plant!
If you watch this Ted Talk video to it, you will see what I mean.

Biologist Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, a Biodiversity scientist, introduces us to rare plant species from isolated islands and regions of Africa. The iconic baobab tree could in fact hold the key to the future of food. 

If you have no time to listen to the talk, read an excerpt here: 

'Now, if you open the fruit of the baobab, you'll see a white, floury pulp, which is very rich in nutrients and has got protein, more protein than in human milk. Yes, you heard right: more protein than in human milk. And this is one of the reasons why the nutrition companies of this world, they are looking for this fruit to provide what we know as reinforced food. The seeds give an oil, a very stable oil which is sought after by the cosmetic industry to give to produce body lotions, for example. Now, you can see now why the Africans consider it to be the tree of life. It's a complete plant, and in fact, the sheer size of these trees is hiding a massive potential, not only for the pharma, nutrition, and the cosmetic industry.'

Do you see what I mean? Phyto Fit has a remarkable selection of fruit and vegetable powders that are just dying to be tested by you, health nuts, busy mums, raw food gurus, young and old people interested in being healthy!

Just in case you wonder, I do not have any affiliate link with them, no financial interest, and I even sent them an email giving them some suggestions on what to add to their website. 

Have a great day!

What will you have for breakfast today?

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia  (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel - and fighting rabbits! (video included)

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel I'm having great fun in my 12.5 mt long polytunnel. Not only I get to see my plants thrive in almost 39C during sunny days, but I fight some cute rabbits every day as they dig under the doors and destroy my cauliflower and boccoli plants! I'm not a professional gardener or photographer, but I hope you will enjoy my basic photos of plant life in the hottest spot of my garden. You will also see that we captured a baby rabbit who was guilty of untold damage and a then we released it (he was sooo cuddly!)  But 2 weeks later, we caught him again and this time we released it in a park nearby (full of other rabbits, water etc) so he can eat plenty of produce - just not ours! A video is available on the bottom of this page. The first night we moved the strawberries outdoors, they were not protected, and the morning after the rabbits had eaten most of the plants - leaves and all! Needless to say, we rushed to build a protected U-shap

Recipe: Delicious raw vegan chocolate spread or dessert

I experimented with a few ingredients and this utterly creamy and awesome spread was the result. Needless to say I loved it so much I made it 3 times last week! Yum! This is so simple and fast that it beats any cold cereals, toast or other energy snack. Delicious raw vegan chocolate spread Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados, peeled and stoned 1 ripe banana no more than 1/3 cup of water (add as little as possible) 1 tsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener, as needed 1 drop mint essence a dash of 70% black cocoa (or your favourite chocolate powder) Preparation: Place ingredients in your Vitamin or food processor, blend well, pour into a container and refrigerate. Add water if too thick, or add more cocoa to thicken. Uses: Excellent as a dessert, or spread on your favourite fruit/bread/crackers/wraps/breakfast cereals... You may also add berries, coconut flakes etc as you please. Variations : this is just another way of getting protein from avocados. So you could use
