Porridge with Seasme Vege Mix

Organic Life (Singapore) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:36:25 +0000

Porridge is good when I need a break from all the rich oily stuff I had eaten during Chinese New Year. I always eat my porridge with salted Cai Xin can and with Ba Hu (pork floss). But it is very unhealthy. My favorite side dish with porridge now is Biogreen Seasme Vege Mix! It is not only taste great, but also a healthier choice with more vitamins and nutrients. It increase my appetite and I can have two bowls of porridge! Yummy : )

Organic Soya Milk Powder

Organic Life (Singapore) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:56:47 +0000

Milk is an important part of many people’s diets because it provides important nutrients, including calcium and protein. Soy milk has become an increasingly popular food product. Soy milk does not come from animals; instead, it is made by processing soy beans. Drinking organic soy milk is an ideal way for people to improve their daily diet.

One major benefit of consuming organic soy milk is that it is made from soybeans that have not been treated with pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers. These chemicals, which are used by many farmers to increase crop yield and to make farming easier, can also be toxic to the human body, IFoam.org explains. Pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers can penetrate into plants, causing small amounts of these chemicals to be incorporated into human food. Over time, these chemicals accumulate in the body, where they can cause cancer, asthma and many other serious health problems.

Review of Organic Super Large Raisin

Organic Life (Singapore) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:21:44 +0000

Why eat those unhealthy junk food like photo chips when you crave to chew something in your mouth? My favourite snack is Biogreen super large organic Raisins that are 3 to 4 times bigger than normal raisins. It is more shiok to eat big raisins because I can really feel the bite. My family can easily finish the 410g tin in less than a week. Haha… now I can satisfy me sweet tooth without sacrificing healthy teeth and gums.

Review of Pink Lady Oatmilk

Organic Life (Singapore) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 07:02:37 +0000

After pregnancy, I was looking for some healthy beverage other than cow’s milk and soy milk for my calcium intake. I’m getting sick of the former, and soy milk is still too sweet even though I went for the reduced sugar types.

My friend introduced me to this Pink Lady Oat milk, saying it was highly recommended by his female friends.

What I Like about it:

1. The beautiful pink color

Looks like bandung right? But it’s healthy! Sure makes the start of the day pretty~

2. The taste
Finally! A healthy beverage with soy protein (slows calcium excretion) and actually tastes nice! It tastes like oat cereal but just slightly sweeter, but not as sweet as soymilk.

3. The dietary effect
It’s made from 10 types of grain, including organic oats, buckwheat, black rice, black soy beans, mung beans et … Due to it’s high fibre content, there seems to be some slight detoxification effect like what I experience from drinking cow’s milk. Not that I’m complaining, in fact, after pregnancy, I really need to lose that extra inch!

What I dislike about it:
1. Cos it is full of fibre after all, it will settle at the bottom of the cup.
2. The price. $30 for 800gm tin. A bit pricey, but it’s organic and healthy. Would be better if it’s priced below $30 range.

Organic Gardening – Nourish the soil.

Organic Life (Singapore) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:47:51 +0000

It’s no tricky math equation: healthy soil = healthy growth. Take the time here to really nourish your soil and choose organic, nature-friendly substances that will organically aid your gardens growth. Amend the soil with lots of organic matter to provide soil structure and nutrients.

Compost is a trendy and natural way to add nutrients to your soil, but we recommend using AEM (Activated Effective Micro-organism) to help neutralize the odors accompanied with composting and to help break down the compost to a more useable level. It help promote soil building is by using a microbial inoculent like AEM, which will enhance the soil quality and help retain moisture.

Review about Biogreen Pre Balance Crackers

Organic Life (Singapore) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:51:54 +0000

One of my favourite snacks is Biogreen Pre Balance Crackers. Unlike other biscuit cracker, it didn’t have a layer of unhealthy sugar coat. The taste of the black and white sesame is so nice that I just keep eating one slice after another.

Last week I brought a packet to my office. Whenever I am hungry, I will make myself a hot cup of coffee and treat myself a packet of cracker. It is best choice for tea time. Now my colleagues are joining me. Sweet!

My Usage Tip of Healthy Snack: Dried Cranberries

Organic Life (Singapore) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:48:42 +0000

Among the fruits and vegetables richest in health-promoting antioxidants berries, such as cranberries, rank at the top of the list. In a tropical country like Singapore, we hardly find fresh cranberries at the market, but the dried cranberries is available in the organic shops. The reason I make the purchase in organic shops is due to its unsweeteness (so that it contains less calories) It is ultimately important for my weight loss plan. It costs me about S$ 8, considerably reasonable, as compared to those other sugared-sweet dried fruits.

I have been enough for the oily outside food recently. At a holiday, I decided to stay at home for reading and make a “detoxed” meal for myself , which is a salad (without sourced) , and fat-free natural yohurt, served with a handful of dried cranberries. It looks colourful and yummy I think it would be fantastic to be used as ingredient for baking some cookies too
