people of the Sonoran Desert, one of the hottest
locations on earth. The nopal cactus is believed

fibre. Naturally low in sugar,
this is the perfect tonic to the
morning after an evening

in the morning

boost.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE?
YES YOU HEARD US RIGHT
With more and more vegan chocolates popping
up, resisting the urge to binge can be difficult. But
now you no longer need to resist, thanks to Halo
Thins chocolate pouches. The words ‘healthy’
and ‘chocolate’ rarely end up in the sentence, but
chocolate alchemists Sweet Virtues think they may
have just the product.
The two flavours on offer are White Tea &
Peppermint (Revive) and Himalayan Pink Salt
(Balance), with three decadent chocolate thins per
pack. Each disc is made from 67% pure, dark, organic
chocolate and is sweetened with coconut blossom
nectar and flavoured with the intention of having a
positive nutritive effect on the body.

For those looking to transition to a plant-based lifestyle, making
sure that you have the correct balance of nutrients can be a worry.
As for vegan veterans, we can be guilty of sticking to what we know
and like for a quick and simple dinner.
The Plant-Based Plan takes the stress out of food prep by
providing new meal plans every week with printable shopping lists
and detailed preparation instructions so that your dinners excite you
every day.
All of their recipes are 100 per cent vegan, oil-free, sugar-free and
have a GF option meaning that they can suit all needs – including
those on a diet with calorie-adjustable recipes. Meal plans are
also designed to meet the RDA for over 30 vitamins, minerals and
amino acids. As if that didn’t sound good enough, there is a 14 day
free trial so you can try their Burrito Bowl or Penne with Broccoli &
Mushrooms in Cashew Sauce. Membership to the Plant-Based Plan
