cups. Plus they come in a convenient tube

GO FULL FAT

Calorie-counting enthusiasts

will be tempted to reach for the

low-fat options in the dairy isle,

but nutritionist Brooke Turner

(balancefitnessandnutrition.com.au)

says you could be missing out on key

micro-nutrients. “Skim dairy varieties

will often be higher in carbohydrates,

particularly sugar content,” she says.

“Low-fat varieties often contain

added sugar or artificial sweeteners

to help lift the flavour that can be

reduced through the removal of the

fat content.”

No, thanks. Our pick for full-fat

spring picnics is this free-range and

sustainably farmed wheel courtesy

of Beemster cheese. We’ll grab the

crackers. Starts at $2.80 per 100

grams, beemstercheese.com.au

PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

the weather heats up, cool

rself down with this protein-

smoothie – we swear it

es just like a liquid cherry

colate bar. Lush, dairy free

it even contains sugar-free

colate. Drink up.
