PEPSI MAX- Gods Gift to Man

Pepsi Max!




Per 250ml Serving:
1 calorie
0g sugar
0g fat
0g saturates
0g sodium

This is my life saver! I love Pepsi Max. It has less calories than diet coke and
it tastes nicer in my opinion.
If you prefer Pepsi to coke then give this a try!
I don't think there is a big difference in taste to normal Pepsi, so it
means you don't have to miss out on flavour-
Just the calories :)


YOU CAN GET THIS PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE. (For people in Ireland/N.Ireland- Tescos, Spar, Co-Op, Asda.. etc)

GREEN Jalapenos! For the Spicy Lovers ;)

Green Jalapenos!-Mexican Discovery

Each 90g jar serving (drained):
24 calories
0.8g protein
3.2g carbohydrates
0.8g (of which sugars)
0.8g fat
trace (of which saturates)
trace fibre
trace sodium
0.8g expressed as salt

These are quite hot, to those who do not eat a lot of
 spicy foods. But to those who do eat a lot of spicy foods and chilies, I think you will find the heat
to be of a medium burn!
There are pickled in vinegar which gives them a tangy kick! Get your taste buds ready!
You can eat a whole jar -guilt free!
Only 24 calories!

The jar is 200g net weight.
90g drained weight.
I bought mine for £1.45 in tescos (Belfast, Ireland).
Prices else where will most definatley vary but I am sure they will be similar.

Oh-My-Bum-Cheeks!
This soup is really worth the 222 calories.
It is thick with an irresistible smell.
The ham in it tastes amazing (reformed ham), not too prodominant and not too salty.
It says on the tin it can be eaten cold or warm.
I never eat cold soup as I think it is gross. But I tried a quarter of the tin cold and found it to
be really nice.
I had another quarter hot - Just the way I like it!

I ate this (today) in 2 quarters, then the other half for dinner.
Beaut!
Really glad I tried it.

This is not a thick soup. It is quite thin with lovely vegetables and a small amount of pasta noodles swimming about in it!
This is something I would eat a lot and is one of my
favourite soups!
Not at all too filling but enough to keep you satisfied.
Really tasty ;)

Enjoy!

Cup-A-Soup: Cajun Spicy Vegetable.

Slim A Soup! Cajun Spicy Vegetable!

Per Serving (one sachet with 190ml of boiling water):

56 calories
1.9g protein
9.4g carbohydrates
4.3g (of which sugars)
0.9g fat
0.5g (of which saturates)
1.5g fibre
0.50g sodium
1.25g salt equivalent

Another one of my favourites. 
It is not very spicy, so those not keen on very hot, spicy foods, it is safe.
With only 56 calories per serving I find this soup to be
amazing.
It has small bits of veg floating around in a
red soupy liquid!
It is great for filling you up with out leaving you feeling like you have 
too much in your tummy.
Well worth trying.
There are more Cup-A-Soups by Batchelors that you might want to check out!
Cup a Soups are more guilt free than the usual tins of soups.
They aren't as thick and they do the same job as a cup of green tea ,
obviously with more calories but 
it warms you up, fills you up and tastes
good!

I would normally have one of these if I feel peckish and don't fancy tea.
Good snack to bring to school/work, or drink in-front of your family so no one gets up in your grill.

Comments are welcome!

I bought this today and it is the first time I have tried this flavour.
I LOVE IT.
If you have chocolate cravings this is the way to go!
It has a chocolately, fudgy taste and a light feeling to it.
Really lovely coming up to the colder seasons (as it is in Ireland!).
I was very surprised, as I usually find hot chocolates made up with water instead of milk are never as nice.
This hot chocolate proved me wrong.
Highly recommend it! 
Low calories and kicks chocolate cravings in the ass!

I had to write this review NOW - while I was drinking it! I just had to get out there that it is lovely!
40 calories of pure bliss.
And one does the job!

Heinz Vegetable Soup (Yes.. More Soup!)

Heinz Vegetable Soup! YummY!

Per tin (400g):

178 calories
4.4 protein
32.8g carbohydrates
12.8g (of which sugars)
3.4g fat
0.2g (of which saturates)
3.6g fibre
1.0g sodium
2.6g salt equivalent 

This soup is another one of my favourites! It is a thick soup,  bit of a tomatoey taste, with a mixture of vegetables (obviously..) and a few bits of wee pasta tubes lurking about in there. I find it to be filling and again, not at all heavey in my stomach. If you find the pasta worrying to eat just pick them out (there are hardly any in the soup but if they freak you big time feed them to your bin). 

Some times I add a small pinch of pepper to add a bit of heat although I do not find that I to have as the taste is superb! 

I find that soup is one of the easiest things for me to eat. I like that it is in liquid form and that it is not a heavy meal. I hate to feel too full up.

P.s Sorry if the picture doesn't look too appetizing, BUT trust me! It is!

Slim-Fast Chocolate Flavoured Milkshake (Powder)

Chocolate Cravings? Pain in the bum.
I recently bought this Slim-Fast chocolate milkshake mix. You simply add the powder to milk to make the "meal". I would only use this Slim-Fast product if I was really craving chocolate
and I wouldn't consume any more calories through other drinks or
food if I was using it.
It has a nice chocolate taste and it is quite filling but it has too many calories
for my liking!
