A warm drink ritual best accompanies cold winter evenings. Whether it's a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate, it always makes you feel good. As we are approaching the Christmas holiday season, perhaps it's time to consider adding some spices to your drinks. A nice cup of chai latte or a glass of mulled wine is the perfect pairing with sofa time or fireplace in the evening. What is mulled wine? Mulled wine is sweet, warmed red wine mixed with winter spices such as cloves, cinnamon, and citrus fruit peel. There is a mulled wine tradition in nearly every European country where it's particularly popular during Christmas time when the nights are the longest. This is when people like to gather on Christmas markets and enjoy a cup of this warming drink while outside watching festive decorations and enjoying Christmas songs and special treats. Mulled wine goes by many names, like glögg in Scandinavia, gluhwein in Germany and Austria, vin chaud in France, and grzane wino in Poland. These days you can buy it in many supermarkets, but it is also easy to make at home. What do you need to make mulled wine at home? When making mulled wine at home, you need to prepare a large pot and a bottle of some good wine. The wine should be fruity, slightly sweet and not too dry. You can also add some extra vermouth - which will add some bitter-sweetness. The essential ingredients are the Christmas spices, so your mulled wine is intense in flavour. What spices do you add to mulled wine? To make delicious mulled wine at home, you need: dried lemon zest, dried orange zest, cloves, Ceylon cinnamon sticks, dried ginger, brown sugar, star anise, whole allspice. Homemade Mulled Wine Recipe 1 bottle of red wine 1 cup of sweet vermouth 1 cup brown sugar 1-2 lemon zest (or dried orange peel) 1-2 orange zest (or dried lemon peel) 12 cloves 4 cinnamon sticks 4 dried ginger pieces 4 cardamon seeds 4 star anise 10 whole allspice Method: In a large pot, mix all the ingredients. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes until the sugar dissolves in the liquid. Remove the spices and dried fruit before serving. Drink warm!

Introducing Wholefood Earth's new product listing - Vital Wheat Gluten.Famous for the creation of Seitan - the vegan meat alternative!Vital wheat gluten is a natural protein source found in wheat. It is a powerful flour that is almost pure gluten. It is made from wheat flour that has had the gluten activated during a dehydrating process, removing all other ingredients except the gluten. Wheat gluten has very little starch content and a fantastic way of making dough elasticated. Vital wheat gluten is great for bread making as it helps to increase the gluten content of the bake. It is equally as great used in muffins, cakes and other bakes such as tarts and pastries where you are working with yeast ingredients. A small amount added to yeast bread recipes improves the texture and elasticity of the dough. When combined with water it becomes highly elastic and has a sticky like texture. Vital Wheat Gluten is a natural and very effective raising agent, helping your bread fill out perfectly and evenly, giving it more volume. It can be especially helpful for baking bread made with whole grain flours and coarse cereals. Vital Wheat Gluten can ensure recipes that require fruit, nuts and seeds, chocolate chips etc stay firmly held together and a good binder too! Brilliant for binding Vegan Meatballs, Burgers, Tofu etc. To make Seitan: Mix Vital Wheat Gluten with spices and add water to make a dough. When the gluten dough is cooked either by steaming, baked or boiled it becomes chewy with a meat style texture! See the range of sizes online and in store today! We sell in bulk so perfect for cafes, restaurants and keen cooks alike!

Choosing a protein powder used to mean reaching for whey by default. That has changed. More people are switching to a plant based protein powder, whether they're cutting back on dairy, following a vegan diet, or simply looking for something that sits more easily on the stomach. The plant range has come a long way too. Pea, rice, hemp, sunflower seed and pumpkin seed proteins all bring something different to the table, and the one that suits you depends largely on what you're trying to achieve. Here's how to match a plant based protein powder to your goal, so you spend your money on the right tub rather than guessing. Why plant protein works A common worry is that plant proteins don't measure up to animal sources. In practice, they perform very well when you choose the right one or combine a couple together. Pea protein, for example, is rich in the branched-chain amino acids that support muscle, while rice protein fills in the gaps where pea falls slightly short. Eat a varied diet across the day and you'll comfortably get all nine essential amino acids your body can't make on its own. Plant proteins also bring extras that whey doesn't. You get fibre, useful minerals like iron and magnesium, and in the case of hemp, a dose of omega-3 fats. They're naturally free from dairy and lactose, which is part of the reason so many people find them gentler on digestion. For muscle building: pea and rice protein If your aim is to build or maintain muscle, you want a protein that's high in leucine, the amino acid that signals your body to start repairing and growing tissue. Pea protein is the standout here. A typical serving delivers around 20–25g of protein with a strong BCAA profile, which makes it a solid post-workout option. The classic move is to pair pea with rice protein. On their own each has a minor weak spot in its amino acid makeup, but together they form a complete profile that rivals whey for muscle support. Plenty of plant based protein powder blends already combine the two for exactly this reason, so you don't have to mix them yourself. How much you need depends on your training, but most active people do well aiming for roughly 1.4 to 2g of protein per kilo of bodyweight a day, spread across meals. A scoop after training, blended with a banana and some oat milk, is an easy way to top up. For weight management: hemp and seed proteins When you're managing your weight, the goal shifts. You still want enough protein to hold onto muscle and stay full, but you're also paying closer attention to calories and how satisfied a shake leaves you. This is where the higher-fibre options earn their place. Hemp protein brings fibre and healthy fats alongside its protein, which slows digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer. Pumpkin seed and sunflower seed proteins do a similar job and tend to have an earthy, savoury taste that works surprisingly well in less sugary recipes. Protein in general is your friend here. It takes more energy to digest than fat or carbs, and it blunts the appetite, so swapping a sugary snack for a protein shake can quietly cut hundreds of calories from your day without leaving you hungry. Keep an eye on what you add to the blender, though. A scoop of plant based protein powder is light, but a generous handful of nut butter and dried fruit soon adds up. For everyday wellness: any of them Not everyone using protein powder is chasing a six-pack or a specific number on the scales. For a lot of people it's about filling a daily gap, especially if you're plant-based, busy, or just not a big eater in the mornings. For general wellbeing, the best plant based protein powder is the one you'll actually use. Hemp is a favourite for its nutritional all-round profile and its omega-3 content. Pumpkin and sunflower seed proteins are great choices if you have allergies, since they avoid the more common triggers. Pea and rice remain reliable everyday staples that blend smoothly and don't dominate the flavour of whatever you put them in. Stirred into porridge, baked into flapjacks, or blended into a morning smoothie, a daily scoop is a simple way to support your energy, your immune system and your recovery from everyday activity. How to choose your plant based protein powder A few practical pointers to narrow it down: Check the protein per serving. Look for around 20g or more if muscle is your priority. Mind the ingredients list. The best options keep it short. You don't need a long list of fillers, sweeteners and gums. Think about taste and texture. Pea and rice blends tend to be the most neutral. Hemp and seed proteins are earthier, so they shine in savoury or cocoa-based recipes. Match it to any dietary needs. Seed proteins are a smart pick if soy, dairy or gluten are off the table. Getting the most from your protein Whichever you choose, a couple of habits help you see results. Spread your protein across the day rather than loading it all into one shake, since your body uses it more effectively that way. Pair it with whole foods so you're getting fibre, vitamins and slow-release energy alongside. And give a new powder a fair trial of a couple of weeks. Taste and digestion settle once your body adjusts. Common questions Is plant protein as good as whey for building muscle?For most people, yes. The key is choosing a complete option, and a pea and rice blend ticks that box. Studies comparing the two have found similar gains in strength and muscle when total protein intake is matched, so it comes down to which you'd rather drink. Can I take a plant based protein powder every day?Absolutely. There's nothing about plant protein that makes it a treat-it-with-caution food. A daily scoop is a perfectly normal part of a balanced diet, the same way a serving of nuts or beans would be. Will it make me bloated?This is one of the reasons people move away from whey in the first place. Plant proteins are dairy-free and lactose-free, so they tend to be easier on the gut. If one variety doesn't agree with you, it's worth trying another, since everyone's digestion is a little different. The beauty of plant protein is that there's no single right answer. A muscle-builder, someone watching their weight and a person just wanting to eat a bit better can all reach for the same shelf and walk away with something that fits. Start with your goal, pick the protein that matches it, and build from there. Ready to find your perfect match?

We have all been there. You purchase a bag of high-quality organic maca or a vibrant green superfood powder with the best of intentions, but a month later, it is still sitting at the back of the cupboard gathering dust. The problem is not the powder; the problem is the routine. At Whole Food Earth, we believe that nutrition should be intuitive, not complicated. Our Functional Boosters are not synthetic, highly processed supplements that require a strict protocol. They are simply concentrated, single-ingredient foods. To reap the benefits of their nutritional density, you just need to treat them like any other raw pantry staple. If you want to break free from ultra-processed shortcuts and build a more resilient, non-UPF diet, here are five effortless ways to seamlessly integrate functional powders into your everyday meals. 1. The Upgraded Morning Porridge Porridge and overnight oats are already staples of the British kitchen. Because oats are a fantastic blank canvas, they are the perfect vehicle for integrating Energy Adaptogens. Instead of reaching for sugary syrups or processed flavourings, stir a functional booster directly into your oats while they are cooking (or soaking). The Method: Add 1 teaspoon of Organic Maca Powder to support your endocrine system and provide a steady, malty base of stamina. To naturally sweeten the bowl without spiking your blood sugar, stir in a teaspoon of Lucuma Powder. You will get a rich, maple-like flavour and a boost of bioavailable carbohydrates to start your day. 2. The "Concentrated Garden" Smoothie We all have days when the fridge is looking bare and our fresh vegetable intake drops. This is where your Green Power powders serve as the ultimate nutritional insurance policy. Because whole-food powders are just dried and milled vegetables, they retain their essential fibre and phytonutrients. The Method: The next time you blend a smoothie, drop in 1 teaspoon of Organic Spinach, Kale, or Beetroot Powder. Paired with our potassium-rich Banana Powder and a splash of oat milk, you can consume the equivalent of a large portion of dark leafy greens in seconds, masking any earthy flavours with the natural sweetness of the fruit. 3. The Functional Afternoon "Latte" When the 2 PM slump hits, the temptation to reach for another coffee or a processed energy drink is high. However, caffeine only spikes your cortisol, leading to a deeper crash later. You can easily replace this habit with a warming, functional drink that actually nourishes your nervous system. The Method: Warm 250ml of your favourite plant milk. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of Organic Natural Cacao and a pinch of Ceylon Cinnamon. Unlike cheap hot chocolate powders packed with emulsifiers and refined sugar, pure cacao delivers a massive dose of magnesium, supporting cognitive focus and muscle relaxation to help you power through the afternoon. 4. Savoury Stealth in Soups and Stews Functional powders are not just for sweet breakfasts and drinks. Because our products are 100% single-ingredient, they behave exactly like the raw foods they are made from, making them perfect for savoury cooking. The Method: If you are simmering a tomato pasta sauce, a lentil dahl, or a winter stew, stir in a spoonful of Organic Beetroot Powder or Kale Powder during the last five minutes of cooking. It naturally thickens the sauce, deepens the colour, and quietly adds a heavy hit of iron, nitrates, and circulatory support to a family meal without changing the texture. 5. The Prebiotic Yoghurt Bowl A healthy immune system begins in the gut, which means your daily routine needs a steady supply of prebiotic fibre and bioavailable antioxidants. Our Immunity Shield powders—like Baobab, Camu Camu, and Acerola Cherry—have naturally tart, vibrant, and citrusy profiles that cut through the richness of dairy or plant-based yoghurts beautifully. The Method: Swirl 1 teaspoon of Organic Baobab or Soursop Graviola into a bowl of natural, unsweetened yoghurt. Top with raw seeds and nuts. You are instantly transforming a simple snack into a Vitamin C powerhouse that feeds your beneficial gut bacteria, bypassing the need for those sugary, synthetic "immunity" effervescent tablets. Consistency is the Best Ingredient The secret to experiencing the benefits of adaptogens and functional foods is not taking a massive dose once a week; it is small, consistent, daily integration. By keeping your powders on the kitchen counter next to your everyday spices, rather than hidden away in a supplement cabinet, you will naturally start reaching for them.
