Three ways to snack smarter over Easter…

April 6, 2017 by Charlotte Markham

Here at Frog Hollow, we’re the first to admit we love a tasty treat, and Easter is one of those occasions when it seems to have become the norm to indulge in a tidbit or two… But if you’re trying to snack smarter and treat your family to tip-top nutrition it seems a shame to descend into a deluge of chocolate eggs!

You might be pleased to know that we have three swaps you can make this Easter, that will satisfy your sweet tooth, whilst nourishing your mind, body and soul!

Ditch the chocolate rabbit for something that’s really going to put some bounce in your step… Our energy bites are power packed snacks that will give you the vitality to get up and go-go-go! Easter is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Sussex countryside, and these power packed snacks are super portable. Treat the whole family with our largest Pick & Mix Jar, you get sixty bites in eleven delicious flavours. Planning an egg hunt? Use energy bites instead, you’ll just need to tie them in a wee paper napkin before you stash them away.

Swap the chocolate for Raw Cacao… If you haven’t read our post on the benefits of this hero ingredient, you can find it here. Our Raw Cacao Truffles are made from cashew nuts, Medjool dates, chia, coconut nectar, hazelnuts, vanilla extract, raw cacao nibs, cacao powder and Himalayan pink rock salt. Don’t forget a lot of the commercial chocolate eggs you’ll find in shops and supermarkets contain palm oil, so enjoy guilt free chocolate that’s good for you, and good for the orangutans too, those furry orange fellas will thank you for it!

Drop the hot cross buns and embrace the superfood cake… Planning an afternoon tea with friends and family? We can make you a superfood cake that will serve from eight to sixteen people. As an alternative to a traditional Simnel Cake, consider a Blueberry and Lemon Mousse Cake, just as fruity but fabulously nutritious too!

How about a Hero Ingredient? We should Cacao!

April 4, 2017 by Charlotte Markham

At Frog Hollow we believe in bringing you tasty treats that are nutritious and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. So over the next six to twelve months we’ll be introducing you to some of our hero ingredients, first up wearing the superman pants and wonder woman cape, (because we also believe in gender equality), it’s Raw Cacao powder!

This hero ingredient originates from central America and the Amazon basin, it comes from raw cacao pods that are sun-dried then cold pressed to separate the cacao from the cacao butter, after grinding you are left a fine powder. Sadly, raw cacao powder is often misunderstood and confused with its villainous adversary, the chemically processed and roasted, cocoa powder.

As a superfood raw cacao has long been fueling superheroes, used for its health benefits as far back as the Aztecs and Mayans, it was considered so valuable it was once used as a currency.

Here are 5 ways that Raw Cacao Powder will help you become a super-hero too!

  • You’ll be able to fight off free radicals! Raw cacao arms you with Antioxidants. You thought blueberries were good for you? They’ve got nothing on cacao, which has forty times the number of Antioxidants as blueberries! These amazing Antioxidants fight the furious free radicals that can cause a wide range of illnesses and chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
  • It gives you enough energy to chase the bad guys, or simply run after your kids. That’s because of the magnesium which helps you produce ATP, a coenzyme that is used to transport energy within your cells. As an aside, magnesium also helps to protect against osteoporosis, so you’ll be running along rooftops for years to come.
  • You’ll outwit the Joker! Packed with brain-boosting flavanols, raw cacao will keep you sharp as a tack!
  • Like all good superheroes, you’ll be able to keep calm and carry on in the face of adversity, that’s because raw cacao can help to lower blood pressure naturally.
  • You’ll look great in your catsuit! Raw cacao can help improve your metabolism and combat that nasty stress hormone cortisol, that causes you to cling on to body fat.

If you know a superhero, dedicated to making the world a better place, who deserves a treat, consider our raw cacao truffles, made with cashew nuts, Medjool dates, chia, coconut nectar, hazelnuts, vanilla extract, Himalayan pink rock salt and power packing raw cacao nibs and raw cacao.
