KICK OFF THE DAY WITH NEW BREKKIE BALLS
MINOR FIGURES’ NITRO MOVE
Food for Health’s Probiotic Brekkie Balls are the latest addition to the brand that look to “take the fuss out of the morning rush”.
The Brekkie Balls come in three flavours: Mango & Coconut; Cinnamon, Vanilla & Maple, and Blueberry & Vanilla.
“I know how important healthy choices are for consumers, so my biggest priority when we were researching and creating the range was to find a way to keep sugar to a minimum,” said Food for Health founder Narelle Plapp.
“Dates have a very high natural sugar content, so instead we’ve made the Brekkie Balls using Aussie-grown oats as the base ingredient. As a result, each ball contains less than five grams of sugar.”
Low in sugar, the Brekkie Balls are also FODMAP-friendly for those with dietary considerations.
The new range is now available in Coles and independent supermarkets for RRP $12.00 per five-pack.

Australian oat milk company Minor Figures has launched the latest product in its Nitro Can range, an Oat Matcha Latte.
Ceremonial grade matcha (the highest measure of quality) is blended with Minor Figures oat milk to create a balance of sweet and natural earthiness.
Minor Figures was one of the cold-brew innovation leaders, being the first to introduce a nitro-infused product to the Australian market in 2018. The Nitro Can uses a specially developed widget that releases nitrogen
when the can is cracked open, creating a silky microfoam and bringing the blend to life.
The Matcha offering joins a range including: latte, mocha, chai latte, and a black coffee for those who enjoy a balanced and considered cold brew straight up.
Its beverages are flash brewed and then steeped slowly to produce complex and bright flavours. The range features specialty ingredients usually reserved for top-end coffee shops, less additives, no preservatives and is completely free of refined sugar.
