Propercorn Review

Propercorn is a British Popcorn company that started in 2011. Their popcorn is healthy and guilt free. All of their unique flavored popcorn has less than 130kcals per bag. If you enjoy eating healthy but are bored of fruit or snack bars then I recommend grabbing a bag of Propercorn. All Propercorns flavored popcorn are GM, gluten and wheat free.

1) Their Smooth Peanut and Almond flavor popcorn are suitable for vegans. If you love peanut butter or a nutty flavor, you will probably go nuts over these. 

2) A bag of the Lightly Sea Salted popcorn is also suitable for vegans. These will certainly satisfy those who love the classic salted popcorn. 

3) Propercorns unique Firey Worcester Sauce and Sundried Tomato flavor popcorn are also suitable for vegans. If you like food with a kick of chili then these are the right flavored popcorn for you.

4) The Sour Cream and Black Pepper flavored popcorn isn't vegan-friendly, however, is suitable for vegetarians. Sour Cream has been a popular flavor on the crisp market for a while, so I am glad Propercorn has introduced it to the popcorn industry. 

4) My ultimate favorite form Propercorns collection is their Sweet and Salty. A bag of Sweet and Salty is vegan-friendly and is made using sea salt and brown sugar. How I grew up just eating sweet popcorn at the cinema I will never know, there is no going back now. 

5) Sweet Coconut and Vanilla is suitable for vegetarians.  This unique flavour is the perfect mix of Vanilla and Coconut and had me thinking of tropical beaches. If you love the taste of tropical cocktails or delicious coconut then you will certainly enjoy a bag of these. 

My university friends and I tucked into the box of Propercorn, and they were all blown away by the unique flavours and incredible taste. I highly reccomend Propercorn and you can find it in most major supermarkets. Luckily for us they also sell it at our university. Check out there website for more details. https://www.propercorn.com

High Protein Snacks

If there is one thing I struggle with when trying to lead a healthier lifestyle, its eating healthy snacks. I have a sweet tooth and love chocolate, cake and sweets, but they really aren't helping me to achieve my goals.  I have done quit a bit of research lately into healthier snacks and I wanted to share my favourites with you. Of course fruit and nuts are the best healthy choices, but with winter on its way a lot of my favourite fruit is unavailable, due it been out of season. 

As a busy uni student I can often get distracted by the the unhealthy food that surrounds my university campus. I wanted to find snacks that I could easily pop in my bag and eat between lectures or munch on before or after the gym. 

Trek Bars are one of my favourites on the list. They are Protein Flapjacks without the nasty protein texture or taste. The bars come in a range of different flavours to suit everyone's tastes buds.  The majority of the different flavoured bars have 10g grams of protein packed into them, which will keep you fuelled for longer.  I was also shocked to learn that Trek bars are vegan friendly and contain no wheat or gluten. They retail for around 99p-£1.50.

I will admit I am not huge fan of the taste of Nakd products but I do like the idea of them. I feel the majority of the products taste the same and its usually because the ingredients are practically identical. I like how they do a range of products from nibbles to bars and how easy it is just to pop them in your bag. Nakd products are also vegan friendly and contain no wheat or gluten. I hope in the future they improve on the flavouring. Nakd products retail between £1-£3.  

Bounce is a new company that I have recently come across and I can tell you so far that I am extremely impressed with there protein balls. Unlike most protein products they don't have that protein/powder taste however they do have that chewy texture. They aren't as chewy as other protein bars I have tasted, but it could still be improved. I give the flavouring of the energy balls a 10/10 they taste exactly like what is said on the packet. My favourite Bounce Ball flavours are Cocoa Mint, and Peanut Protein Blast. All the Bounce Balls are high in protein, gluten free and suitable for Vegetarians.

If you are looking for healthier snack choices that are high in Protein then I highly recommend checking these companies out. All opinions are my own and this post is not sponsored by any of the mentioned companies.

My second Aliexpress Haul!

After seeing different YouTtube videos of Aliexpress hauls and being impressed with my previous purchase of the Celine style bag ( review can be found on my previous post) I decided to go a head and purchase a new bikini for my holiday. With my weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey I decided to get a neoprene one. Neoprene is the diving suit material and is used by the Bikini brand Triangl.
The product was delivered in under a month and yet again I am very impressed with the quality. It seems very durable and will last a long time. The colour is also bright and complimentary. It cost me around £9.00 including shipping which is amazing since it's made of neoprene. My tip regarding ordering this bikini is to measure yourself before hand. The company allows you to mix and match sizes you just leave the sizes you require when ordering.
I look forward to wearing it on my holiday and hopefully grab a few snaps in it.
