Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week

COOK

Nutribullet, best known for its high-powered smoothie blenders, has branched out into cooking appliances with the launch of Everygrain Cooker, £99.99. This nifty gadget cooks everything from brown rice to quinoa and can also be used for steaming vegetables and fish, meaning it’s a one-stop shop for prepping healthy meals. Find it at nutribullet.co.uk.

EAT

Here’s a way to enjoy ice cream with a healthy twist. HaagenDazs has launched a new lower calorie gelato that is just as tasty as the original ice cream but comes in at just 170 calories per serving. This creamy mascarponebased scoop is mixed with rich fudge and delicious brownie pieces. It’s £4.99 at Waitrose and Tesco.

ECO

We’re big fans of

Wash Up Things, a powder-to-gel washing-up liquid from eco-friendly cleaning brand Homethings. It couldn’t be easier to use, you simply mix the powder with water in a bottle and you have washing-up liquid ready to go. Find it in Waitrose for £5 for a refillable starter pack.

DRINK

Stay hydrated on the go with the new Contigo Autopop Jackson 2.0 Chill, £24.99, a hi-tech water bottle that is not only completely leakproof, but will keep your chosen drink chilled for 24 hours. The useful handle means you can attach it to a bag for easy transport and it comes in a range of gorgeous spring colours. Available on Amazon.

CHARITY

Celebrity chef Raymond Blanc is on a mission to protect marine wildlife and has designed an exclusive T-shirt, £20 (mcsshop. org.uk) to raise money for Marine Conservation Society. “I have chosen a Common Octopus as my design to highlight the sealife we have around our shores and the importance of protecting these amazing, intelligent creatures,” he says.
