This special box happened to contain a variety of all-organic goodies from Biona and I would be using these luscious products to make\u00a0healthy and scrumptious meals throughout the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Organic-Health-All.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Organic-Health-All.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Organic-Health-All-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Organic-Health-All-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon opening the box, I found three varieties of pasta including Italian Wholegrain, White Italian Pasta and Tricolored Spelt Fusilli. There was also\u00a0Tomato Basil Soup, Black Chickpeas, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Rye Bread,\u00a0 Almond Butter, Oat Milk. Granola, Spelt Pretzels with Sesame and\u00a0Chocolate Chip Orange Cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I just had to work out what meals to make with all of these organic goods!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I focused on breakfast first. I settled on making my own protein smoothie bowl that would keep me powering through the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grabbed the\u00a0Biona granola and oat milk and additionally, some frozen berries and bananas from the local shop. I blended together with the berries and banana,\u00a0 adding a splash of oat milk and protein powder to the mix. I poured the fabulous mixture into a bowl and topped it with granola and fresh fruit to give it a little pizazz, and voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Smoothie-Bowl.jpeg\" alt=\"Biona Smoothie Bowl\" class=\"wp-image-12492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Smoothie-Bowl.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Smoothie-Bowl-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the perfect way to start my day, eating a protein-rich, organic smoothie bowl. I was proud of myself knowing that I would have paid \u00a312 at a cafe for this beauty.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving onto lunch, I decided to make my own hummus with Biona Black Chickpeas and Extra Virgin Olive oil and use the rye bread as the complimentary dipping piece to this meal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using my handy Ninja blender, I blended in the can of chickpeas, two\u00a0tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of water, a pinch of garlic salt and a hint of fresh ground pepper.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can say the mixture didn\u2019t look like your traditional hummus, as I did decide to switch the recipe up using black chickpeas, but it certainly tasted just as delicious (if not more) than my store-bought hummus. I\u00a0 finished off the meal by toasting my rye bread, and lunch was served!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Hummus.jpeg\" alt=\"Biona Hummus\" class=\"wp-image-12491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Hummus.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Hummus-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Biona-Hummus-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, having so many tempting pasta options, I made a tomato, basil,\u00a0 wholegrain pasta dish for dinner. It\u2019s quite difficult to make pasta taste bad, so I knew I could make this standard recipe into something delicious having nearly all Biona ingredients for this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used Biona Italian\u00a0Wholegrain Pasta and blended in some tomato paste to the Biona Tomato\u00a0Basil Soup, thickening the liquid, turning it into a gorgeous textured sauce.\u00a0Since no good pasta could be complete without a sprinkle\u2026 or handful of cheese, I topped my Italian masterpiece with some fresh mozzarella.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been really pleased with all of the meals made throughout the day with my Organic Biona ingredients. Each of their products truly tastes fresh and I know that I\u2019m putting something good into the meals I\u2019m consuming.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biona brand has been around and trusted since 1978 and traces the source of each ingredient they use in their products. This means that each ingredient is of the highest standard and completely natural, which is certainly impressive and not often seen in companies that mass-produce.\u00a0Kudos Biona!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop the range and find out what exciting, creative recipes you can come up with yourself from their line of organic goods <a href=\"https:\/\/biona.co.uk\/our shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on their website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thank you to Healthy Living London writer <strong>Jessie Pettit<\/strong> for this fantastic Biona review!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, a giant box arrived at my door and I have never been more thrilled.
