Capilano Honey Shotz (20 July 2011)

A shot of honey

I'm not exactly sure which showbag the Capilano Honey Shotz satchets came from when I visited the Good Food & Wine Show 2011 but I found them a pretty handy item for my breakfast muffin at work. No need for a knife or spoon, just simply squeeze and you got enough honey to pour over a muffin or piece of toast. Although you could also use the upside down squeezy honey bottles without the need of cutlery. I guess a handy item for travelling, taking on a picnic or even having with your peppermint tea perhaps. The only problem is the extra packaging will add more to the rubbish rather than using a jar of honey and I'm sure it'll also cost more in the end as well.

On the website it mentions 'giving athletes easy access to the carbohydrates they need for a quick energy boost on the run'. I wonder if anyone has actually used it like this?

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Simple and easy to use design, Handy size for one toast or muffin

CONS: Extra packaging unfortunately adds to the rubbish

MUST TRY: Honey with peanut butter

Barambah Organics: Bush Honey Yoghurt (21 Dec 2010)

Unit 2, 83 Boundary Road, Oxley QLD 4075

Certified organic and Australian

This is a guarantee that there is NO chemical residue in the product and that NO genetic modification has occurred. We use holistic farming practices and the original farm, Spring Creek, in the South Burnett, Queensland, has been farmed that way for many years.

I love trying new products that are also good for you, especially if they're certified organic. Today I needed some yoghurt to go with my blueberries for dessert and thought the Barambah Organics Bush Honey Yoghurt ($3.99/200g) from Royal Randwick Fruit Market would do the trick. It had a nice creamy taste and the honey was distinctive enough without making it too sweet. It's a lot more expensive than your run-of-the-mill yoghurts but it certainly ticks the boxes for a product you can probably trust — the fat content seems to be fairly low as well. It looks like Kylie Kwong even loves it and she's a big advocate of organics and quality ingredients.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Certified organic, Tastes pretty good, Healthy for you, Product of Australia

CONS: Expensive compared to other basic yoghurts

MUST TRY: Other flavours
