24.01.2022 Have you ever heard the story of how Rocky Road came to be? According to Wikipedia: "The origin of the dessert is debated, but the earliest mention of it dates back to 1853 in Australia, where rocky road was supposedly created as a way to sell confectionery that had spoiled during the long trip from Europe, which were mixed with locally-grown nuts and cheap chocolate to disguise the flavour." Luckily today, it has become the boutique treat that many still enjoy.... #HealthCravers #RockyRoadSliceBowen #GrabNGoBowen

22.01.2022 Why do folk love smoothies and blended juices in the morning? It comes down to understanding how powerful is the healing properties within them. Take our 'Jimmy Lee' blended juice (great for fighting colds and boosting immunity)... Made with ginger, lemon, cayenne pepper and a few more important and tasty ingredients. But just these 3 ingredients alone are high in vitamin C and potassium, plus every ingredient supports your immune system, not only suppresses hunger and aids in weight loss, but has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants, as well as improves energy levels. It makes sense... start your day with your health in mind. An easy way to help your body keep performing for the rest of your life. #HealthCravers #ImmunitySmoothies #BlendedJuices #ProteinSuppliesBowen #DiBellaCoffee #MoreLunchChoices

22.01.2022 What is the difference between a vanilla slice and a custard square? Both are filled with thickened custard Both have a pastry cover... In English countries, we use the term vanilla slices more widely known than the European - mainly French term Mille-feuille being Custard Squares. Here is a simple recipe to make your own: Vanilla Custard Slice Recipe Prep time: 15 minsCook time: 35 minsTotal time: 50 mins INGREDIENTS 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry, thawed For custard: 8 cups of milk 2 cup granulated sugar 2 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs 3 teaspoon vanilla cup powdered sugar for dusting Preheat oven to 180C Put pastry sheets onto two rectangle baking trays lined with non- stick baking paper and prick all over with a fork, but do not go all the way through the pastry. Bake 20-25 minutes or until puffed up and golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. The whole sheet of pastry cut out the shape according to the size of rectangle pan 9x13 inch and a second sheet of pastry cut into squares (about 12), that will be the top of the cake For the custard: Pour the milk into a medium saucepan, bring the milk up to a simmer, then remove from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and flour until very smooth Pour into the saucepan with milk and mix to combine well, add vanilla extract Return to the heat, stir constantly over medium-low heat until the custard boils and thickens Remove custard from heat Pour the custard over the pastry in the prepared rectangle pan 9 x 13inch, gently put remaining cut out the sheet of pastry on top of the vanilla custard layer Refrigerate at least 3-4 hours or until set. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Or, you could just come in and see us and we'll have you sorted in a jiffy! #HealthCravers #VanillaSliceBowen #GrabNGoBowen

18.01.2022 While it’s long been an Australian favourite, the old faithful 'sanga'. Unfortunately, it was not ours to claim but the humble sandwich is in fact British. The Wall Street Journal went so far as to describe it as Britain’s biggest contribution to gastronomy (compliment or insult, this is unclear). Rumour suggests that the sandwich was first created for the Earl of Sandwich in the late 18th Century. The sandwich was designed to be a wrapper for fillings such as meat and salads and could be gracefully held with the fingers instead of utilising a knife and fork. You could assume this sandwich would be a rather controversial food for nobles of this stature. #HealthCravers #GrabNGoBowen #SandwichesBowen #Sangas

07.01.2022 True's Collagen Hydrolysed Protein is one of the best protein sources to have and we have it in stock! Not only beneficial to your gut, skin and joints, but is fabulous for your overall health and there is research abundant to back this up. "Collagen is the most abundant compound of protein found in our bodies and acts as a sort of ‘scaffold’ for our cells. The English word collagen is derived from the Greek word of kólla, which means glue. This is because it acts as the glue... that holds everything together. It’s found in our joints, ligaments and muscles and makes up the bulk of structure in our skin and internal tissues." Improved recovery of joints Boost in Muscle Mass Improved Appearance in Skin Strengthened Hair & Nails Prevents Bone Loss "Our body’s production of collagen slows down as we grow. By age 25, levels of collagen have peaked and begin to slow due to ‘oxidation’, which occurs due to factors like excessive sun exposure, consuming refined sugar and carbs, smoking and drinking alcohol. It’s important to get plenty of naturally occurring amino acids into your diet to aid your body’s synthesis of collagen. These nutrients do not necessarily add to collagen stores in the body, but rather stimulate its ability to produce it." #HealthCravers #CollagenProtein #proteinsuppiesbowen

04.01.2022 Ever wondered why carrots made it into a 'cake'? Apparently, in the Middle Ages, finding sweeteners or sugar products were very expensive. The idea that old vegetables that could ferment may bridge the gap, but were found to be more spoiling of the made recipe than a substitute. But it was soon realised that carrots had a better shelf-life - then the trending carrot cake was born to the European diets. #HealthCravers #CarrotCakeBowen #GrabNGoBowen

03.01.2022 Which True Protein product will help me lose weight? WPI (Whey Protein Isolate) can assist you in meeting your weight loss goals but not on its own. As protein keeps you fuller for longer, it can be a tool used to aid you in preventing overeating. When eaten in moderate amounts across the day, you are kept feeling satiated. This will also keep your insulin levels consistent and prevent spikes that leave you feeling excessively hungry and craving sugar. Remember, protein is ...excellent building block for bones, tissue and muscle repair, blood and cartilage. It is important to eat without consuming too many empty calories (i.e. junk, fried and sugary foods) to limit fat gain. Both WPI 90 and WPI 80 are perfect for satisfying appetite and making sure the calories you eat are working to better your health. As always, combine a well-rounded diet with a regular exercise routine and you are sure to be on the way to achieving your goals. #ProteinSuppliesBowen #HealthCravers #HealthCraversBowen #WPI90True #Health #WeightLoss #HavingAPlan
