Inside this May Box:

**Skinny Wraps:** I always have wraps at home, but wraps with 100 calores less is always good to have! Lovely taste! Great to make some burritos to the picnic.

**Homepride White bread flour**: A brand that everyone knows now with this version for good homemade bread. See recipe below.

**Portlebay Popcorn in Sriracha**: spicy spicy, great with the Ginger beer in the box.

**Crunch Time** nuggets from Cereal lovers: healthy snacks.

**Moma Bircher Muesli**: not your normal muesli, since this one is more thing, and gluten free. Did you know that you can make muesli with juice? I didn’t!

**Bean Bags from RawBean**: Coffee in tea bags? They aren’t very strong, so it will make a great americano… can you do a picnic without coffee? No! Great taste!!

**Hippeas** organic chickpea puffs: the evolution of puffs! Great taste for a healthy snack without feeling guilty.

**Candy Kittens** in Sour Watermelon: Gluten free gourmet sweets. Fresh and great taste.

**Millions:** chocolate covered strawberry. i didnt knew this brand. So basically is strawberry chewy sweets covered in chocolate…delicious and lasted little here at home.

**Millions** in sour strawberry: from the same brand of the previous photo. loved these ones!

**Cadbury** Big taste in Peanut caramel crisp: Hubby liked them very much! taste of peanut butter caramel with crunchiness added.

**Zeo** in Orange and Mango: great when really fresh and with only 33 calories? Delish!!

Crabbie’s Ginger Beer (alcoholic): Serve really cold and with spicy snacks, is the best experience.
