I am always on the lookout for tasty treats to pop in my children’s lunchboxes and the new Kingsmill Fruit Fingers have been a big hit this week.
The soft, brioche-style fruity fingers are available in two fantastic flavours, Mixed Berry and Apple & Raisin and as well as tasting delicious they are also a great source of fibre.
Available in packs of four they are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, breakfast or anytime you fancy a quick snack! As well as packing them in lunchboxes I have been enjoying them with a cup of tea in the morning. They are delicious eaten straight from the pack or toasted with plenty of butter.
We all think they are really tasty and at 147 calories a finger they aren’t too bad for the waistline either!

Re:Nourish’s fresh Gazpacho for summer has been a welcome refreshment in our house this year.
I haven’t really tried gazpacho before, just once at a restaurant and I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but now that I’ve tried it again, it’s a welcome removal from normal summer drinks or meals. What is gazpacho though? The simplest way to explain it is that it’s a summer soup – literally a cold soup which isn’t as thick as what you find in a tin on a winter’s day but instead uses fresh ingredients and is never served warm, only cold.
Re:Nourish sent us some Tomato, Red Pepper and Cucumber Gazpacho (95% vegetables to try, which is rich in vitamins C, E and A. It’s also vegan, gluten free, dairy free and has no artificial additives or preservatives and no added sugar. Yes, it’s completely fresh!
How does it taste though? Well straight from the fridge, I put this into a bowl to eat, but you could just as easily drink it straight from the bottle or in a glass. It’s not like tomato soup at all; instead you can taste the tomato and red pepper, then the taste of the cucumber comes through to add a ‘coolness’ to the taste. The texture is very velvety too, not chunky. You could describe it as a savoury smoothie.
It’s important not to heat this as it’s not designed to be ‘cooked’ but instead eaten straight from the fridge.
It’s an incredibly handy lunch (think: working lunch) or as a snack, but if children enjoy it, I can’t see why it can’t go in a lunchbox as well! The fact that it has so many vitamins and doesn’t have the preservatives or additives of other meals, plus is dairy free and gluten free, it’s accessible to everyone who enjoys vegetables and makes a great alternative to having to cook something when you’re busy, or super hungry!
Their website already has soups, but I am looking forward to seeing what other gazpacho flavours are coming soon!
