Rachel Reviews: Jus Rol Cinnamon Swirls

I spotted these in the supermarket today and HAD to buy them. When in America me and my friend baked in our hostel these cinnamon rolls and cookies. The dough was already made and all you had to do was cut up, place on a baking tray and cook in the oven. We have both been very sad that the UK do not sell anything like this.

However, now we can get a very similar alternative from Jus Rol. Although these are not cinnamon rolls, rather they are more croissant like, they definitely filled a 'missing America' shaped hole in my heart/stomach!

These come in a tube, that is very easy to open. You then cut the roll into 6 and place on a baking tray. They take 11-14 minutes to cook, so not long to wait. The pack also comes with icing sugar. All you have to do is a little water.

The instructions state you should wait for them to cool to ice, however we were very impatient and iced and ate straight away. 

They were delicious served warm and I would definitely buy again. They would be perfect for breakfast and also save you lots of money, especially as a individual cinnamon swirl to buy individually is like a pound. Here you get 6 in a packet for under £2!

This tube cost me £1.50 from Waitrose, however it was on a promotion and is normally £2. 

What have you tried new recently? xoxo

Homemade Berry Smoothie

So I am now back at University for my final year and trying my hardest to live healthily. I have been to many a gym class and wake up every morning aching.Last night we did Kick Ass followed by Legs Bums and Tums - wow that was intense! 

This morning I made myself a delicious berry smoothie. I have never made my own smoothie as never had the equipment to do so, so I just had to share it with you.

You basically put what every you want into a smoothie maker/blender. Its fabulous, quick and easy.

As I am a student its all about saving money, so all the ingredients are from my new favourite supermarket - Aldi. The food is so cheap but the fruit and veg does not last very long so you have to use it quickly! 

I used, 1 banana, just under half a punnet of raspberries, a selection of fruit from the frozen berry selection, a glug of apple and raspberry juice and about 3tbsp of low fat greek yoghurt.

I put it all into a blender, whizzed it up until a smoothie consistency and hey presto a healthy smoothie! 

Now I wonder how many of my 5 a day is in that!? xoxo
