Gluten Free Balti Sauce Ingredients

The ingredients in Cofresh gluten free balti sauce are: water, onion, tomatoes, peppers, rapeseed oil, ground spice mix, tomato puree concentrate, garlic puree, ginger puree, sugar, salt, lemon juice concentrate, cumin seeds, dried coriander leaf, acidity regulator.

Cofresh balti cooking sauce is gluten and dairy free, though it does have a small amount of added sugar. Usually I would try to avoid sauces with added sugar, but the quantity is so minimal and the rest of the ingredients are so friendly, I am happy to overlook the sugar on this one.

I love having a jar of Cofresh balti cooking sauce in my cupboard for one of those evenings where we want to eat something quick and delicious using minimal effort. I buy my jar from the World Foods section at Sainsburys costing £1.3o where there is also a selection of other great Cofresh products available including sauces, dips, savoury snacks and nuts.

Lots of the soups you see in Supermarkets are loaded with dairy (cream normally), wheat and often high in salt and sugar, so a big thumbs up to this soup.

Other Rude Health cereals: Rude Health Porridge | Puffed Oats

A bowl, some oatly milk and a splash of rice milk (I like to mix it up) and I was ready for the taste test.

This cereal is a bit pricey, but it does taste great and so many muesli’s are padded with cheaper ingredients e.g raisins, wheat and MILK POWER. One option to spread the cost of the cereal is to pad it out with a few extra oats and it would be nice with a few slices of banana too.

I have really enjoyed the different taste of this morning breakfast so I will be buying again. My only complaint and I don’t know if mine have all slipped to the bottom of the packet but it could do with a few more nuts for an extra crunch so tomorrow I might add those too.

Rude Health is sold on their website, nationwide by Waitrose and select Tesco, Co-operative & Sainsbury’s stores as well as health food stores,.

Thanks Rude Health for making a raisin and wheat free muesli that is suitable for both my partner and I.

Celery Soup Ingredients

Serves: 2 as a main

• 1 celery heart, finely sliced (I included stalks and all)
• 2 inch cube of potato diced (optional – for thickening)
• 1 garlic clove diced
• 1/2 teaspoon of celery seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon of mixed herbs
• 1 tbls of olive oil
• 1/2 Free From Stock Cube (I used Kallo)
• Pepper

Nb. You will also need a kettle of boiling water.

In a saucepan heat the olive oil and add the celery seeds and garlic glove, stir briefly then add the celery and potato. Saute everything in the pan for a few minutes.

Add the mixed herbs and stock cube and season to taste with pepper. Cover everything with boiling water, to just below the ingredients (too much water and the soup will be too watery).

Bring to boil and cook until the vegetables are just soft, mine took 11 mins. Blend, check for seasoning and tasty celery soup done.

A bit of digging on Cafe Nero website and I found this:

“The chai latte blend contains milk powder, so even if this drink is made with soya milk it would not be suitable for a dairy free diet.” Cafe Nero

Some research and I think that Starbucks Chai Soy is dairy free but I am just waiting for some confirmation on this.

So the next time you fancy a chai soy latte – pop to the shops and pick up some proper chai tea bags, come home heat some dairy free milk (soy, Oatly or rice), add the chai tea, brew to your liking and serve. For a treat add a spoon of honey or Agave Necta – Enjoy!
