Homemade keto-friendly Quest bars with VitaFiber recipe (IMO90 - isomalto-oligo-saccharide)

 

An easy recipe for home made Quest style bars:

- 50g VitaFiber (liquid) or IMO (powder)

NB: If using the powder, you need to dissolve it in 4:1 ratio to water, i.e. 40g powder + 10g water
- 20g whey protein (your chosen flavour)
- anything that you want to add (crushed Oreo's, ground almonds, bits of chocolate etc.)

1. Heat VitaFiber (or IMO mixture) in a pan (or a bowl in a microwave) until it starts to bubble.
2. Add all ingredients and mix them together until they reach peanut butter like consistency.
3. Using a silicone mould or a baking paper shape it into a bar.
4. Put it in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
5. Enjoy!

Gillette Labs Heated Razor

#ad I've recently been gifted the new Gillette Labs Heated Razor.

Once the product arrived, it was beautifully packaged. I felt very excited when unboxing this shaver as I’d never used a heated razor before. Upon the first use, I was amazed how quickly the razor heats up. It took literally 4-5 seconds! Initially, the shaving process felt strange. But then I noticed how smoothly it was gliding on my skin, which wasn’t getting irritated as it often does. Compared with my regular high end razor, I have to say, this felt much better and the shaver was easy to control and perfectly weighted.  After the shave, my skin felt smooth and wasn’t irritated. No need for an aftershave balm! 

In addition to the razor, there is a magnetic charger which looks stylish and serves a great place to keep the razor when not in use. I’m not quite sure how long the razor lasts but the replacement heads seem rather pricey. 

I’d certainly recommend this shaver if the quality of your shaving experience is important to you. Otherwise, they might be some cheaper equivalents of a comparable quality.

Reliable and stylish KitchenAid K400 Artisan

I received the new KitchenAid K400 Artisan blender courtesy of trnd UK. Before I opened the box, I was excited as it looked a high quality product judging from the box. Upon its first use, the blender seemed sturdy and powerful. Contents didn't leak and the containers was very easy to wash. I mostly use it for blending fruit or vegetables and after 2 weeks of regular use it hasn't leaked once. If you're fed up of unreliable, cheap blenders, this one is for you. Highly recommended!

Braun BT3021 beard trimmer review

Despite its plastic design it seems fairly durable. It can be used with or without the comb and can be set to anywhere between 1mm and 10mm. Before I used it wondered if it's suitable for slightly longer beard but it appears that it can only trim beard to 10mm, which is not a huge issue for me but it might be for others. The main strength of this trimmer for me is the battery that can easily last me up to 2 weeks! #BuiltToLast #BackstageWithBraun

All the sweetness and no calories - now even more convenient!

I've recently tried the new Splenda Zero. It's a brand new sweetener in a liquid form that's very easy to dissolve. So far, I've tried it in tea, coffee and hot chocolate and it dissolves instantly. It only takes one squirt to make a beverage sweet but since it's in a liquid form, it makes it difficult to measure. Go check it out yourselves and it should be on the shelves soon! #InsidersUKSplenda
