Want a Plantastic Meal?
Bean Supreme, the original innovator in accessible plant-based meals in NZ, launches a trio of delicious and healthy goodness to join their much-loved range: Bean Supreme Quinoa & Mushroom Burger, Supremely Savoury Sausages, and Wholefood Mince.
These products use only the best ingredients, working with growers to source ethically and harvest in season, and are created with almost everyone in mind; that is the meat-eaters, flexitarians and/or vegetarians. This threesome promises to be a great base for a variety of easy-to-cook, plant-based meals – great for warming winter dinners.
The Quinoa & Mushroom Burger, featuring quinoa that is grown in NZ’s Central Plateau, in keeping with the brand’s ethos of supporting local wherever possible, packs an impressive flavour punch to go alongside its 5 Health Star rating. The Supremely Savoury Sausages are the second entirely plant-based sausage in the brand’s range made with fresh tofu from whole non-GMO soybeans. Finally, the Wholefood Mince is gluten-free, designed for versatility, using real wholefood ingredients.
RRP $7.99 each
Bean Supreme is now available in supermarkets nationwide.
Going Dry This July?
If your answer is yes, or maybe you’re wanting to drink in moderation but you find cocktails to be utterly irresistible… well, we found a loophole. Enjoy at-home, alcohol-free cocktail kits thanks to the Seedlip x Black Pineapple collab. Black Pineapple Co. is home to delicious and fresh bespoke cocktails, while drinks experts, Seedlip, brings us the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirits.
“Whatever your reasons for cutting the booze, the most challenging bit can be finding a satisfactory substitute with many alcohol-free options being too sugary with unsophisticated flavour profiles or lack any flavour at all. With our Seedlip collaboration, your cocktail options are not only delicious, but they also add a sense of occasion to alcohol-free drinking,” says Black Pineapple founder, Frankie Walker.
The pre-ordered kits arrive at your doorstep pre-batched with fresh ingredients and garnishes, along with premium glassware, professional barware and easy-to-follow instructions. Make our classic Seedlip and tonic cocktails or get more adventurous with Espress-no Martini or Spiced Pumpkin Sour cocktail boxes. Each cocktail promises to carry a flavoursome kick without a headache the morning after.

Say Goodbye to Food Waste
Making greener choices may be a fad for some, but it is undoubtedly necessary. To put it plainly, wastage is not our friend, and Breville, a global leader in innovative home and kitchen appliances and home of brilliant product designs, most certainly got the memo.
The groundbreaking FoodCycler is a sustainable solution to food waste and the latest kitchen must-have by way of its 3-stage FoodCycler® System. Stage 1 involves dehydrating and sterilising nearly every household food scraps, think fruit and vegetable scraps, meat, fish, poultry, cereals, dairy, eggs and shells, coffee grounds, filters and tea bags, beans, seeds and legumes, and even pet food. Stage 2 is the ‘grinding’ stage where the blades pulverise your food waste into small particles. Lastly, stage 3 cools down your now transformed waste to EcoChips™ for safe disposal in your council bin or garden.
Built for the modern home and lifestyle, the FoodCycler is light and compact, odourless, quiet, user-friendly, uses minimal energy, and is easy to clean as it’s dishwasher-safe.
