Fabulous food

We’ve always loved local so we put the call out for some fabulous local Aussie food brands and we’re super happy with what came back. Here were our top picks...

Remedy Drinks Rio Vista Nothin’ But Olives

Let’s keep this simple. This bottle is filled with nothin’ but 100% South Australian grown and harvested olives. Grown naturally in the Adelaide Hills and sunny Murraylands, picked by friendly people and cold extracted within 6 hours of harvest. No numbers, nothing imported, everything fresh.

A pub classic, the old Lemon, Lime & Bitters... but full of gut lovin’ goodness. Reach for the right stuff and old school refreshment with Remedy’s all-natural, live cultured, twist on Lemon, Lime & Bitters.

Murray River Organics

An all-time classic, this 100% organic apple & cinnamon muesli, from local biz Murray River Organics, is a fan favourite for good reason. Made with organic oats, organic sultanas, organic diced dates, organic raw diced almonds, organic cinnamon powder and the hero, organic diced dried apple.

Spotty

This banana bread mix is made using certified natural and organic ingredients which have been mainly sourced from Australian farmers. All their mixes are gluten free and only require four ingredients - Spotty Bananas, oil, eggs and of course this baking mix!

Blue Dinosaur Sprout

These super-cute plant-based snack bars for kids are the perfect solution to keep your little one happy and satisfied between meals. Healthy, tasty and intolerance-friendly to be enjoyed by all, Sprout bars are the perfect way to help give your child a nourishing start to life.

With Collagen and Egg Whites. Welcome to the cleanest protein bars in the world!

Two Birds Brewing

We love the aptly named Two Birds’ beer because it’s run by two awesome Melbourne chicks! Their Passionfruit Summer Ale is pale and hazy like the balmy arvos we miss. It uses the tropical fruit hop trio of Amarillo, Mosaic and Galaxy with Passionfruit puree added to the fermenter. It tastes like sunshine and is best enjoyed in a hammock or just with your gal-pals!

Lakanto

Sweetpea dried baby food (with 4 fab flavours) is your quick and wholesome meal solution for your little one.

Made with Aussie grown fruits, veggies and grains. Fortified with iron. Simply add 80ml of warm water to 10g of dry product to make mushy.

With a mantra of being #ResponsiblySweet, all Lakanto products are made using Monkfruit that is grown using the same ancient, traditional methods used by the monks that give the fruit its name. Lakanto Golden Malt Flavoured Syrup is a versatile ingredient for baking and desserts to add chewiness and a delicious touch of sweetness. It is also great as a topping and in drinks, with 75% less calories than rice malt syrup.

Sans Drinks Motive Matcha

Australia’s first ready-to-drink sparkling matcha has just launched with four delicious flavours – Ginger, Apple, Yuzu, and Lychee. A new, and oh-so-tasty, way to enjoy the benefits of matcha sugar-free and on-the-go. With only seven calories a bottle, this new kid on the health block is a guilt-free alternative.

Mingle

Unlike the other guys, Mingle Spice Blends are always natural and free from nasty additives. Mingle’s NO NASTIES All Purpose is the go-to flavour punch that you can use for every meal. This dials the flavour of meat and takes vegetables up to the next level.

When you’re trying to stay off the booze but miss your favourite Summer cocktail.... Made in Sydney, Lyre’s make non-alcoholic versions of classic spirits. This Italian Spritz tastes almost exactly like Aperol, especially when mixed with a non-alcoholic sparkling wine such as local McGuigan Zero Dry Sparkling. Cheers!

Who Gives a Crap

So we’re not eating this. But we are going to need it after we’ve eaten if you get my drift! Get out your glasses and gather up the kids because the search for the loo starts...now! Certified B Corp Who Gives A Crap has just released the limited ‘Where’s The Loo’ edition with a hidden toilet on each of the wrappers. Available late August.

Taoca

Gluten free, vegan, low fat, cholesterol free Brazilian tapioca crepes! These Brazilian tapioca crepes are a popular street food made with cassava starch, which has been part of the Brazilian Indigenous diet for centuries. They are very versatile and can be cooked with a variety of savoury or sweet fillings.
