Ever since arriving in London from the United States, I have found myself experimenting with different foods. Certain foods and brands that are popular here, I had never previously heard of back home. Yoghurt was one of the foods that I noticed differed between the two countries. Over the past few years, yoghurt had become a staple of my diet and I often enjoyed it with my cereal or oatmeal in the morning. I sometimes even used it as a dip for my fruits and vegetables. I've missed some of the brands of yoghurts I've grown accustomed to at home… but that was until my colleagues here at The Amazing Blog introduced me to COYO Coconut Milk Yoghurt. As soon as I tried COYO Coconut Milk Yoghurt, I was immediately hooked! My sudden love for this new type of yoghurt only increased as I learned about its health benefits. Not only is COYO sugar free, but also dairy free, soya free, gluten and lactose free. It is the first of its kind and you will definitely not be able to find anything like it! However, these benefits of the yoghurt detract absolutely nothing from its taste. It contains a refreshing coconut flavor that is creamy and very light. As soon as I finished it, I found myself yearning for more. The immense amount of flavor made me feel as if I were treating myself to a dessert rather than a healthy yoghurt. This yoghurt can be used the exact same way as normal yoghurt and is available in a few flavours: natural, mixed berry, and pineapple. The universal love of this product is evident by the fact that it was entered for the Free From Food Awards in 2012.

Similarly to myself, COYO is a recent introduction to the UK. It originated in Australia, but nutritionist Bethany Eaton has brought it to the UK and I could not be happier than my time here has coincided with the arrival of this delicious yoghurt. I will be sure to stop into Planet Organic or a John Lewis Food Hall to stock up on as much COYO Coconut Milk Yoghurt as I can before I head back to the United States. I am jealous of all you Londoners who not only have this yoghurt readily available to you but will be around for the launch of the COYO Ice Cream this summer!

Here, at The Amazing Blog, we're self-confessed chocolate lovers who, more often that not, enjoy a daily chocolate treat. Two of my colleagues however, have somewhat bravely given chocolate for lent, so when Mortimer's Pure Dark Chocolate Powder arrived recently, there was all the more for the rest of us! And with hot chocolate being perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up, I was more than happy to try it out. Unlike a number of hot chocolate drinks on the market that are laden with flavourings, sweeteners and additives, Mortimer Chocolate Powder is simply that - pure dark chocolate powder.

My favourite flavour is the West African, a blend of cocoa liquors from Foresterotype cocoas from Ghana, the Ivory Coast and Nigeria, containing 100% chocolate with 70% of cocoa solids. The Mortimer Chocolate Company imports cocoa en mass from factories in Africa and South America, and then they make it into chocolate to their own recipes in the UK. Having a cup of Mortimer's hot chocolate on a cold spring day like today is the perfect antidote to a stressful day in the office. It's also very easy to prepare, just heat some milk, add 4 heaped teaspoons of the chocolate powder in each mug and enjoy! As I’m Spanish, I would accompany this with some delicious “churros”, but I'll have to wait til I get back to Spain!

And I guess I’m not the only one that loves this flavour, because the West African chocolate has been voted as the Nation’s Favourite Hot Chocolate by the Chocolate Festival. Available in Waitrose stores and also online.

All Mortimer Chocolate products are gluten and soya-free, they don’t use lecithin and they don’t contain nuts. And if you want to find your inner domestic goddess, why don’t you check out their website for their mouth-watering chocolate brownies recipe? Having been sent a batch ourselves I can confirm they were devoured in a matter of minutes and were simply delicious!
