My problem is snacking and eating on the go, many days I grab something pastry based for breakfast on the way to work just for convenience, often hungry again by mid morning so pick at the biscuits left over from Xmas, and this is how the day continues, Pick pick pick.
So it was quite exciting to be sent some sample products of the new sun-kissed south American Superfood for 2017 - Golden berries from Nature's Heart, hopefully I can use these to replace the bad choices i usually make and an added bonus the kids actually loved them. They were sweet and tangy and can be used to brighten up any breakfast, make a smoothie, use in baking or just as an alternative snack on their own.
Goldenberries (aka physalis) are bursting with vitality-boosting vitamins and minerals, and provide a pure and quick pick me up for anyone that may be looking to get back on track after a little over indulgence during the festive season. The berries offer an abundance of supernutrients to help the body and immune system function at their best during the winter months.

71% of the RDA of vitamin A
