Kanzi Apples: Not Just For Apple Day

Kanzi Apples: Not Just For Apple Day

Kanzi Apples kindly sent me 6 apples and an apple divider so that I could try this brand out for myself and decide whether I wanted to write a blog post about them. Clearly I did. 

There were apples everywhere you looked recently thanks to Happy National Apple Day. I like national recognition days but I sometimes worry that after the hype is over the awareness wanes too quickly. This is why I have waited until today to write about apples in generally and Kanzi apples specifically. 

I’ve always thought that apples get something of a raw deal when it comes to fruit bowl fame. Everyone gets all excited about blueberries, tropical fruits and anything a little different. Meanwhile, the humble Kanzi apple sits quietly and confidently, ready for us to pick them up for our next snack. I’m sorry folks but I’ll take a Kanzi over other fruit any day.

A Kanzi Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

We’ve all heard that phrase before. The truth is, for me at least, it’s all true. I am diabetic and have IBS (a winning combination says no-one) so fruit can be something of an issue for me. An apple, however, offers just the right amount of healthy goodness, is tasty and fills a gap. It is an apple I reach for if I’m tempted to snack as it is by far the healthiest and the cheapest choice. 

Packed with antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fibre, apples are great for digestion and are attributed to being a good fruit for those watching their cholesterol.

Quick and Easy Kanzi Apples

I’m a copywriter. I could write you reams about the many benefits of apples but to be honest, in this crazy busy world we live in one of the greatest benefits of choosing a Kanzi Apple is that they are so easy. Grab and go. Throw one in your bag. School snacks and packed lunches. Literally no prep unless you decide to go all fancy. We’re busy and so having a grab and eat snack that is healthy is a quicker, easier and healthier choice.

Enjoy Kanzi Apple in So Many Ways

Other than the usual grab, eat and enjoy way of eating a Kanzi snack, Kanzi apples may be enjoyed in a variety of ways. One of my favourite ways at the moment is with peanut butter. Not the sugar-filled, crunchy stuff, the smooth and wholesome variety. I slice up the apples, smear them with peanut butter and am good to go. This is a very healthy and filling snack. Double apple slices with cheese, dried fruits, chop into cereal or put on top of porridge. We’ve done all of this and more. Make sure that you give some of these a go.

Why Kanzi Apples?

At around £2 for a pack of 6 apples, this variety, available in Tesco, Sainsburys and more are reasonably priced. A cross between the Braeburn and Gala varieties they are juicy and boast a balanced sweet and sour taste. Not too sweet, not too sour, they are just right. A nice size, being not too big or small Kanzi apples simply tick all the fruit-eating boxes.

Fiendish fruit and vegetable freaks with Innocent

When it comes to putting the fun into your 5 a day, Innocent have it sorted!

Amongst the sweets and chocs that come traditionally at this time of year, Innocent threw down a challenge to see if we could have just as much fun in a spookily healthy way.

Could we make a fruit and veg freak for Halloween?

Yes we could!

Introducing VEGIKYLL
VEGIKYLL is an evil aubergine - no other fruit or veg is safe!
This is not a veggie monster to mess with!

Kieran had loads of fun with this project and prompted by Innocent who hates waste as much as we do, we salvaged what veg we could after Vegikyll had been on his rampage and have made some yummy soup!

Thank you Innocent for a very fun afternoon! Find out more about Innocent on the website and join in the fun on Twitter.

*No vegetable was killed in the making of this blog post. Innocent kindly sent us some veggies and innocent magnets as part of this challenge. Innocent cannot be held accountable for anything Vegikyll does or has already done.
