Review: Geco Wheatgrass Powder

Friday, April 18, 2014
I have been trying to eat healthier and exercise a bit more recently, especially as the weather is better and summer is not too far away. One of the products that seems to come up when I am searching for healthier foods is wheatgrass - before this product I had never tried wheatgrass or anything similar so I definitely wanted to give it a go. Honesty as always, to check out my disclaimer, click here

I have the *Geco Organic Wheatgrass Powder (100g, 500g is £21.99). Firstly, the delivery was quick and I like the packaging - all of the nutritional information and more is on the back of the sachet. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, I am the latter. Wheatgrass has a lot of goodies packed into it such a vitamins and minerals (for example: vitamin B6, vitamin C, iron and more). It contains a slightly larger number of calories than I thought it would but the whole pack (100g) contains only 285 calories. 

I have tried this wheatgrass powder with numerous juices (you can add it to smoothies too which I haven't managed to get round to). I have tried it with pomegranate, orange, exotic fruit and apple juice.  To use, you just add 1 or 2 heaped tablespoons into juice or a smoothie - I haven't used that much in one drink. I have been adding half a heaped tablespoon into my juice as the wheatgrass taste is a little strong. I do not like the wheatgrass powder with orange juice or apple juice but I really like it with pomegranate and exotic fruit juice - especially exotic fruit juice! 

Overall, I think adding wheatgrass powder to your morning juice or smoothies is a great way of getting some extra vitamins, minerals and other goodies into your body with little effort. While it really doesn't taste great with some juice flavours, it is really nice with pomegranate and exotic/tropical fruit juice. Also just eating and drinking healthily makes you feel good! ★★★★☆, 4/5. 

Have you tried anything from Geco Supplements? What are your thoughts on wheatgrass? 

Week in photographs #25

Sunday, June 16, 2013
Throw back Thursday, Pinterest, Next months magazine freebies, Healthy eating (ish), Shoe collection, Lots of empties to review!
My week has consisted of: healthy eating & fitness, sorting out my shoe collection, photographing & reviewing empties, being ill and fathers day.

Firstly, healthy eating, myself and my sister have been doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and eating healthy as a general lifestyle change - and because we have a lot of parties, events and our holiday in the next couple of months! I have been loving Sofrito pasta, salad sandwiches, healthy low fat muffins and the Innocent smoothie in the strawberry and banana flavour. I would definitely recommend the DVD, although my ankles have been paying the price, I may have to invest in some running trainers. Although myself and my sister have been struck with a cold for the past few days so we haven't been sticking to the fitness dvd.

Also I have been sorting out my shoe collection and wardrobe generally, a kind of late spring clean - well I like to going through all of my wardrobe every couple of months to rearrange and refresh the clothes/shoes/accessories I have. This week has also been spent photographing and reviewing lots and lots of empty products - there will be a few empties posts over the next couple of weeks.

Finally, today is Fathers day in the UK and we haven't really been up to much but on Tuesday I get my final overall degree result - very nervous and I can't wait. Also stay tuned because on Friday I will be posting a very exciting international giveaway in collaboration with The Skin Regime for my followers!

I hope everyone had a great week x
