Well & Truly Healthier Corn Snacks : Review

GIFTED

About Well & Truly

BAKED CORN SNACKS THAT ACTUALLY TASTE GOOOOOOOD.

Naughty flavour. Nice ingredients. No bland-tasting nonsense. Here’s to unjunked snacks that still make you feel a bit bad. Because being good all the time gets pretty boring. 

All our snacks have 40% less fat (than your regular naughty crisps), are all gluten free and are made up of totally natural ingredients.

The Delivery

Wow this bag was packed full…time to unpack and see what they sent me 🙂

The Goodies

All the flavours sounded good, so I just randomly grabbed and bag and dug right in.

Smokey Paprika Crunchies

About : Shockingly Smokey, tucking into these naturally paprika-flavoured corn crisps is like committing a little legal arson on your tastebuds. They’re crunchy as hell and devilishly tasty — and totally guilt-free. No need to confess any snack sins here. Vegan friendly. 

I decided to start with these, as I wanted to test how good the flavour is.

So they say they are 40% less fat, but that’s 40% less compared to other brands.

Normally what this means is less flavour, well that’s what I have found in the past…would that be the case today? lets pop open a bag and taste them.

Oh…these were packed with flavour!!!

I was very surprised, and they also had a nice crisp texture to them….mega surprised!

These didn’t last long as I really loved the flavour and due to the lower fat I didn’t feel too guilty.

Sour Cream & Onion Crunchies

About : We’ve seriously cranked up the tang factor on these crisps to stupidly sour cream & onion-y. Sure, there’s a 100% chance you’ll get zingy onion breath (worth it) … but hey, at least they’re 40% less fat? 

Normally for me sour cream and onion doesn’t agree with me, as I can still taste them hours after I have ate the crisps….so lets see how these are.

I really liked these, the flavour was nice and not overpowering.

These seemed to agree with me, and the guys sent me lots of these so I have been enjoying a packet at night with a movie.

I highly recommend these.

Banging BBQ Crunchies

About : We’ve given our crisps a proper sweet and savoury rubdown and nearly thrown them on the grill to get the most BANG in each bite. If you’ve always wondered how to replicate the smokiness of a BBQ in your mouth, these are how. Oh, and the succulent meaty flavour? All vegan. Pinky swear.

Still being very impressed with the flavours these pack, I wanted to see if that was the cause with BBQ.

Opening the packet the smell was very good, and I hoped that having a good strong smell the flavour would also be there.

Yes it was! these were mega tasty and my favourite so far.

Very impressed with these crisps! and looking forward to tasting the rest.

Really Cheesy Crunchies

About : Is there such thing as too much cheese? (obviously not) If you’ve always wanted to snack on a whole block of cheddar but felt weird about it, this is the socially acceptable and crunchier way to do just that. And they’re 40% less fat. Criminally cheesy. 

I love a good cheesy crisp, so this sounded perfect for me…yes its a big bag and meant for sharing but since I am single and nobody was near me…it was all for me.

Opening the packet I was hit with a nice cheesy smell, and since it was a big bag I couldn’t wait to dig in and keep digging in.

Another win! again just like the others nice texture and packed with flavour and due to the less fat you don’t need to feel as guilty when eating these.

Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar Crunchies

About : Our take on the British classic Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar flavoured corn snacks. Crammed full of flavour, crunch and lower in fat, this snack is a satisfying winner. Vegan friendly. 

I am not a big salt and vinegar fan, but I thought lets try these and see how they compare to other ones I have tried.

For me these were nice and had a good salt and vinegar flavour, but its not one I am a fan of to start with.

If you like this flavour do check these out as am sure you will love them.

Punchy Pickles Crunchies

About : Brace your tastebuds for a one-two-however-many-you-eat-in-a-sitting PUNCH of lip-smacking tanginess. Finally, you don’t have to be caught with your fist in the jar to get that salty sour taste.

A flavour of crisps I never buy are pickles so I decided to leave these to last to try.

These for me and my personal taste were just ok, not as bad as I thought they would be but still not my favourite out of all the flavours Well and Truly do.

If you like pickles as a crisp flavour I am sure you would love these.

My Rating:

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Overall :

Firstly a big thanks to Well & Truly for the crisps and introducing me to their brand.

I have no issues recommending these, as with the reduced fat content the flavour was still amazing! which is what lacks with other reduced fat crisps.

Check them out and let me know what you think.

Why Should You Be Exercising On A Regular Basis?

Have you been thinking about how much you are exercising recently? If the answer is yes, then you need to be honest with yourself when we ask you the next question. Are you exercising enough to give your body what it needs? For most people, the answer is no and this needs to be sorted sooner rather than later. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at why this is important so keep reading if you would like to find out more.

It’s Helps You To Sleep

The first reason that you should be exercising on a regular basis is because it helps you sleep. You are tiring yourself out more through the day, which means that sleep is going to come easier at night. You need sleep in order to remain as healthy as possible, and you might be struggling to get it if you are not doing enough activity throughout the daylight hours. Trust us when we say that if you do at least thirty minutes of exercise, you are going to find that sleep comes so much easier than it did before. Try it out for one day if you don’t believe us, as the results are quick.

It Will Improve Your Health

Another thing that you need to be focusing on is the fact that it will enhance your health. If you use something like an online calorie calculator to track how much you are eating, and also workout frequently, adjusting your goals to how much you have consumed in a day, you are going to be so much healthier than you were. These aren’t massive changes to your life, you are simply counting how much you are eating and adding in some exercise, but the results are going to be fantastic. 

You likely hear all the time about how much exercise will improve your health, so why haven’t you taken it up yet? We know it’s hard to find the motivation to do so, but you’re going to thank yourself for putting in the effort in a few years.

Your Mental Health Benefits Too

The final thing that we are going to mention is that your mental health benefits too. When you exercise, your body releases hormones called endorphins which are natural mood enhancers and pain killers. They make you feel good, which is why people always say they feel fantastic after a workout. It might be the case that you worked out once and all you got was a stitch, but if you keep with it, you will start to see why people like it so much.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the reasons that you should be exercising on a regular basis. Hopefully, now you see how important exercise is for the human body and will work to try and incorporate it more into your daily life. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that you see all of these benefits when you start working out regularly!!

NY American Grill (Princess Square, Glasgow) 2021 : Review

The Visit

Its been a while since I have been here, I used to visit here on a regular basis with friends and we always had a good experience.

Today I was going to see the latest Marvel movie, and thought lets visit and get a burger.

The food

As I said at the start of this blog, I felt like a big burger today and wanted to try something I have not had before from here.

The Big Cheese Burger £12.95
NY Classic topped with a double helping of cheese

On arrival this looked really good, and I was MEGA hungry so I couldn’t wait to take a massive bite.

I took a massive bite and mmm this was really good. The burger was perfectly cooked and nice and moist, and the flavours of the whole bite was so good and I finished it very easily and fast.

Normally with a big burger you would feel full and bloated, but this was perfectly cooked and fresh ingredients I felt full but not bloated etc

Dessert Time…

Yes there is always room for dessert, and today I had to go for something I had from here ages ago.

Key Lime Pie £5.95
Ginger crumb base with a sweet lime cream filling and vanilla ice cream.

I remembered I loved this last time, so I wanted to see if I still would this time round.

After a quick snap, I dug right in as it looked so so good.

AMAZING!! it was very sweet, lovely lime flavour, nice ginger base everything worked together and every bite was mmmm

If you have a sweet tooth like me you need to check this out.
