LOAD-UP ON HEALTHY NEW FRUIT SMOOTHIE I was asked to review the new Loaded Smoothies so I arranged to have a couple of samples sent to me. I put them in my fridge when they arrived, looking forward to a moment when I would taste them. Well, so much for that, because when I went back to the fridge they were gone! My two daughters (aged 3 and 5) had swiped the lot, and I was allowed just one teeny tiny little sip - and I could see the attraction! Delicious, fruity and very smooth (my girls don't do "bits"), I will definitely be buying them again as a healthy alternative. Loaded is 100% natural and contains a nutritious blend of fruit with no preservatives, stabilizers or colourants. Sugar free and deliciously juicy and fruity, Loaded is packed with vitamins and fibre and the perfect lunchbox snack for kids. Each 200ml pack contains 1 RDA of fruit and come in Go Go Mango, Bounce Back Berry, Power Up Passion Fruit and Kick Start Kiwi. Available at Pick ‘n Pay, Spar, Checkers and Engen Quick Shops for R6.99 each. |

Mum's Bookclub - what we're reading: The Observations, by Jane Harris At first glance this was not the kind of book I would usually choose, being set in Victorian times, but once I started I couldn't wait to get the girls in bed so that I could get back to it! Written in the voice of a teenage servant girl it takes you on her journey when she is employed by a middle class lady who's motives for employing her off the street are not entirely altruistic... I highly recommend it! |
