RETAIL THERAPIES

■■Crunchy, with a peppery taste, Good4U Super Sprouts Salad Topper blends broccoli, alfalfa, clover and radish seeds that have only just germinated, while the Lentil Sprout Mix uses lentils, peas and beans to create a delicious source of plant protein. £1.25 each from Sainsbury’s, and both varieties are brilliant ways of adding extra nutrients to any meal. ■■Fill your home with aromas to suit – and soothe – your mood with the stylish Mercury Electric Diffuser Gift Set (£45; Marks & Spencer). It comes with uplifting lime, bergamot and mandarin essential oils, but the ceramic ultrasonic diffuser can be used with any fragrance oils, while its LED light adds a warming glow. ■■Hunting for colourful new ways to get your gut in great shape on the inside? Vadasz Super-Beet Kimchi (£4.50; Waitrose) is a naturally fermented, live cultured condiment. Beetroot is brilliant for lowering blood pressure, but this product is made using lactic acid fermentation, so it contains probiotics you won’t find in pickled varieties.

■■Fancy a Pina Colada for breakfast? Don’t worry, we aren’t encouraging drinking before gym sessions – Shreddy’s Protein Powder (£20; Superdrug) comes in quite the array of indulgent-sounding flavours, from Cookie Dough to the aforementioned beachfront cocktail, but rather than piling on the pounds, it will perfectly balance your protein intake for optimal muscle recovery.
