With the rising cost of living, we will explore in a series of articles how you can create homemade versions of your favourite recipe – for less! Today we look at Milk Alternatives. We love keeping our favourite milk alternatives to hand. The good thing about many of the milk alternatives that we sell at Healthy Supplies, is that they are UHT. Meaning they don’t have to be stored in the fridge until opened.

We also like making our own milk alternatives! It’s a great way to use up extra nuts and you can tailor the flavour to suit you. It also helps you out when you are in a pinch and either can’t get your favourite milk alternative or you are waiting for your next Healthy Supplies order to arrive!

At Healthy Supplies HQ we LOVE Sunflower seeds. These crunchy little seeds make a great addition to both sweet and savoury recipes. But these seeds aren’t just delicious, they are also really good for you!

Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of lots of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for a healthy immune system. In fact studies have shown that consuming sunflower seeds can help lower your risk of developing illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, strokes and type 2 diabetes.

Peanuts are one of our most popular nuts and with good reason too. They are high in protein meaning they help keep you fuller for longer. They are also a great source of dietary fibre as well as being rich in vitamins and minerals. Not to mention they are the key ingredients in one of our favourite nut butters! They can be used in sweet and savoury recipes, making them really versatile. Check out some of our favourite peanut recipes!

The peanut is an ancient food that has been cultivated for thousands of years, and is native to tropical regions of South America. The peanut plant was introduced to Europe during the 16th century, and eventually spread throughout the Americas. Today, the bulk of the world’s peanut production comes mainly from China, India, Nigeria, Sudan, Burma, Argentina and Senegal.

At Healthy Supplies, we love peanuts. They impart a wonderful nuttiness to a huge array of dishes, both sweet and savoury. They’re so versatile – we love adding them to sweet recipes like our vegan snickers bars! They’re also the main ingredient in the dipping sauce for our delicious satay tofu. It’s fair to say that peanuts are one of the most popular snacks in the world. SO let’s look deeper into their history and how they have evolved over time….

Chia seeds are tiny, oval-shaped seeds. They’re easy to use and can be added to both sweet and savoury recipes. We love adding chia seeds to smoothies, oatmeal, salads, and baked goods. You may have seen these little nutritional powerhouses being used to make delicious puddings in Tik Tok videos, but do you know they are one of the healthiest things you can eat? Read on to discover the nutritional benefits of chia seeds!

Monday 6th June marks the start of Aromatherapy Awareness week. Aromatherapy has long been used to improve the health of the body, mind and spirit. Its primary focus is on how essential oils gathered from plant-based sources can help us. Essential oils are very concentrated, and consequently have powerful aromas. These can be extracted from many different aspects of the plant – from flowers, leaves, twigs, branches, seeds, fruit, cones, bark, wood, roots and even resin.

Aromatherapy oils can be used in lots of different ways. They each have different properties that make them excellent for a range of things including beauty, cleaning and more!
