The Healthy Body Kit April 2017
10:13
The Healthy Body Kit from April 2017 edition is featuring some of my old favourites and new exciting additions. The selection for April offered a variety of food options in addition to the usual health and sports relations. I have previously provided the background information on the Healthy Body Kit here. All items selected for this box are vegan and the overall value of this box is over £25.
Terri Verde Yoga and Sports Massage Oil RRP £11 for 30ml
Beautiful body oil for massage or after a workout. Previously mentioned here.
Green People Sun Lotion SPF15 RRP £6 for 30ml
The summer is approaching and I thought an extra SPF product is not going to hurt. While SPF 15 is not protective enough even during winter, I was thinking of using this cream as a hand cream when I am outside. In such case, the hands will get some sun protection but it should not be too greasy to be unusable. Unfortunately, this lotion has nano titanium dioxide so I will not repurchase it.

Well + Happy Raw Chocolate Bar RRP £2.50-£4 for 45g
The addition of chocolate is always exciting! A selection of 5 raw chocolate bars which are free from dairy, gluten, refined sugars and soy. Raw chocolate can be very flavourful and my favourite brand is definitely Ombar chocolates. Unfortunately, the requests for specific flavours to be included in your box were not possible. I received matcha green tea infused white chocolate and topped with quinoa. The texture of the chocolate is very smooth, however, there was little flavour. These bars are more suitable for people who want to reduce their sugar intake but not those like me, who enjoy their treat with a cup of tea.
INGREDIENTS: cacao butter solids*, coconut palm sugar*, coconut milk powder, quinoa*, chicory roots*, green tea matcha powder*. (85% organic ingredients)

Urban Fruits Magnificent Mango RRP £1 for 35g
This is my most favourite item in the box and as soon as I had hands on it, I could not resist opening the packet of mangoes. These are baked and not dehydrated hence they are softer and less chewy but nonetheless delicious and sweet. I really hope it will appear again in the subsequent editions.
Ingredients: Mangoes

Your Superfoods Power Matcha RRP less than £1 for 5g (sample)
Matcha blend is an excellent addition to smoothies and had been previously reviewed here.
Yuyo Yerba Zing and Yerba Mint RRP £0.62 for 2 teabags
I love getting tea samples because they are excellent for bringing to work and holidays! This edition featured 2 samples to satisfy both the desire for peppermint and fruits. Both of these taste excellent when are cooled down!
Yerba Zing - Ingredients: Yerba mate, lemon and orange peel, peppermint, rosehips and grapefruit essential oil.
Yerba Mint - Ingredients: Yerba mate, peppermint, lemon verbena and garden mint essential oil.

Surprise items - Greenfrog Botanic Geranium and Peppermint Body wash RRP £3.90 for 100ml
Previously mentioned here.
Green People Hydrating Aftersun RRP £0.75 for 2 samples
Infused with nourishing olive and sunflower oils and soothing extracts of chamomile, calendula and aloe vera, this lotion is designed to aid healing of the skin after sun exposure. Great to toss into a bag when in case you have been caught out by the good weather!
