Sweet freedom
Cute company Sweetbird has devised a selection of 38 different
flavours of yummy syrups that are free from artificial flavours,
colours and preservatives that will make your drinks taste even
better.
They also do a
range of blended smoothies, ready to drink smoothies and even an
ethical chocolate sauce for you to try, and what's even better is that
they are approved by Viva!
The syrups have been tried and tested by Viva! staff:
"Raspberry syrup was the favourite with Jazz and
Finn, age 6. They like it (a lot) on vegan custard! Jazz exclaimed
"delicious" and Finn "yum I love it". I like the ginger syrup - it
adds a lovely sweet zing to quick desserts such as vanilla ice cream."
"I've been having a lot of fun with the English
Toffee syrup. It went down well at dinner, drizzled over homemade
cookies. It also works well blended with silken tofu, vanilla extract
and cocoa powder to make a fab chocolate toffee mousse."
Giveaway!
Viva! has teamed up with Sweetbird to offer six lucky Viva!LIFE
readers a bottle of each of the 250ml retail range (also approved by
Viva!) English Toffee, Vanilla, Hazelnut. All you have to do is email
