Costa - Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Gluten Free Wrap


After a very busy morning rushing across London, I dashed into Costa in London Bridge to grab lunch before I got the bus to work.  I had read about the new Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Gluten Free Wrap previously but  this was not on my mind when I stepped into Costa as I was in a rush.


I just headed straight to the fridge and scanned the shelves looking for a gluten free wrap, when I saw it I thought "hmmm ok, I guess this is it then" as it was my only option.


The filling looks to be quite evenly distributed but I can honestly say that I didn't taste a thing, now this could have been due to the fact that I was pre-occupied whilst eating (multitasking after rushing around all morning).  I remember a hint of smokiness from the bacon and tanginess of the cranberry but other than that it was just wrap and mayonnaise!

I am thankful for the fact that I was able to pick up something for lunch at all but only one option is basically saying take it or leave it and I can't exactly go into any shop to get something substantial to eat (when I forget my lunch at home).

It filled the hunger but it's not something I would rush back to get.

Price I think was around £3

Ice Tea

Another blog post in collaboration with my brother CJ (apologies this should have been posted weeks ago!)




You will need :
4 tea bags  (of your choice, we chose, Twinings cranberry and raspberry)
Jug 
Boiled water 
Sugar 

Step 1. 
Boil kettle

Step 2. 
Put all 4 tea bags in the jug with 4 table spoons of sugar





Step 3. 
Once the water is boiled pour in jug

Step 4. 
Stir to devolve sugar and get the flavours from the tea bag, at this point you can add more sugar according to your taste.

Step 5. 
Leave to brew till liquid cools down

Step 6. 
Once cooled, discard tea bags

Step 7. 
Place jug in fridge to chill for a couple of hours or pour in glass with ice to enjoy straight away

My brother enjoyed drinking this and to be honest I think he drank most of it (except for what he spilt on the floor!)

For me with my sweet tooth it could have done with some more sugar, but it was still very refreshing and a great way to drink more water without all of the artificial sweeteners.
