Swirl some Manuka into your life

Dollop on this creamier,creamier thicker honey that’s a little less sweet

-

LOVE the darker, earthier and creamier, slightly woody taste of genuine Manuka honey from New Zealand?

Whether it’s supercharg­ing your breakfast, stirred into a hot drink or simply slurped off the spoon daily, this thicker honey that’s a little less sweet than types usually found in the supermarke­t is perfect to use with your cereals, smoothies, to p p i n g s , d re ss i n g s and more.

Some dollop it on toast every morning, while others swirl it into their porridge or drizzle it on fluffy pancakes, perhaps served with strawberri­es and chopped nuts.

This delicious honey is only made by bees who collect nectar from the Manuka bush, a wild shrub that grows widely across New Zealand but flowers for only a few weeks a year.

Genuine Manuka honey has laboratory validated properties other types of honey do not display, thanks to a naturally occurring compound called Methylglyo­xal (MGO).

Here are just a few of the many ways to put honey from Manuka Doctor to good use for healthy eating: n ADD Manuka into a glaze or marinade to give your chicken dishes a deliciousl­y different honey flavour.

Veggies? Why not try drizzling them in a little

Manuka, mustard and oil, then roasting for an hour on a low heat? n FOR a healthy, tasty breakfast, blend Manuka into a chia, raspberry and blueberry smoothie, add it to your porridge or swirl it into plain yoghurt with a handful of fruit and sprinkling of chopped pecans.

Or tasty Manuka honey on sourdough toast, with some cottage cheese, apple and walnuts, is an irresistib­le morning treat.

n MIX it into flapjacks or an oat and nut crumble to top a fruit stew — or drizzle it on fruit to top a cake. Adding it to your favourite recipes gives a deliciousl­y subtle sweetness — different from using pure sugar, and certainly healthier.
