  🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
   🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hello Friends !

In the previous blogs of mine, I had told you about Indian gooseberry that is too beneficial for your beauty and health. It boosts immunity of  your body and you can use it in many forms like fresh juices, candies, chutneys, cold sauces and pickles etc. Apart from this , you can also consume it in the form of an Ayurvedic Preparation Called Chyavanprash also known as chyavanprash avaleha.

Chyavanprash is like a cold sauce or jam that contains goodness of amla or Indian gooseberry along with many other herbs.

There are many brands available in the market distributed and marketed by many companies. And you can find different varieties from one brand too.

Today, in this article, I am going to review  Zandu Chyavanprash Avaleha 

Before I start, let me tell you that Zandu is one of the biggest brands in the field of ayurveda and it is also among oldest. Who never knows in India "Zandu balm" 😄 even used in an Indian bollywood song 😁😂.

It's funny but the products branded by Zandu are having a great market place and value.

Now let's get started.......

  REVIEW OF ZANDU CHYAVANPRASH AVALEHA 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂   

  WHAT THE BRAND CLAIMS 🍂🍂🍃🍃

Zandu is expert in lifestyle disorders. Zandu's Chyavanprash Avaleha boosts energy & stamina. It increases immunity. It contains Ashwagandha, Satavari & Bala. It is a proven authentic Ayurvedic recipe and based on 3000years of authentic ayurveda.

Dose & Directions Of Use :

2tbsps every morning preferably with milk or honey.

Storage Conditions : Store in a cool & dry place.

INGREDIENTS :- 🍂🍂🍃🍃

There is a long list of ingredients. That's why I am mentioning some of them. You can read full ingredients on the pack.

Extracts derived from - Clerodendrum phlomidis Linn. [RT.] - 0.27g, Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. [HT.WD.] - 0.27g, Withania somnifera Dunal. [RT.] - 0.54g, Agele marmelos Corr. [ST. BK.] - 0.27g, Sida cordifolia Linn. [WH. PL.]......................to be contd.

It contains a vast list of Ayurvedic herbs and ingredients. Plz refer to pack to see whole ingredients.

  MY EXPERIENCE 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

I bought Zandu chyavanprash avaleha pack of net wt. 900g worth ₹285/-

APPEARANCE & PACKAGING - 🍂🍂🍃🍃

Zandu chyavanprash avaleha comes in plastic packaging. The colors used are orange and green. However, it is so very common today. You can see many products with same colors and style so you can't say it is unique. 

Details are written either in white or black on the packaging. Packaging is OK and easy to use. You can open the lid, tear the seal and scoop it out with a spoon. However, it is better not to use same spoon again at the same time as it is not hygienic. When you lick the product from the spoon and use same spoon to take out second time, the germs may get into the whole pack.

So, always use clean spoon everytime.

Packaging is very normal and you can say it OK bit not unique or attractive.

The content is blackish brown in color. It may appear dark brown too with black tint.

  PROS. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃😊👍

1). Easy packaging.

2). Contains Indian gooseberry or amla.

3). It is ayurvedic.

4). Contains many ayurvedic herbs and ingredients.

5). Boosts immunity.

6). Boosts energy.

7). Increases stamina.

8).  Contains Ashwagandha, Satavari & Bala.

9). Useful for children above 12years and adults.

10). Good for males & females both.

11). Source of vitamin c and many nutrients.

12). Protect against infections like cold and cough.

13). Maintains body weight.

14). Contains goodness of Indian gooseberry and many other herbs.

15). It has a good taste.

16). Good for digestion.

  CONS. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃😕👎

I couldn't say it can have any side-effect. However, if you are allergic to any ingredient or amla, it may prove not good for you.  Secondly, it can cause acidity if not taken as per directions. If you have certain health conditions, it is better to consult a doctor.

One thing to be discussed is that the brands recommends it to take with honey or milk while it is controversial as some experts claim that it should be taken before half an hour or one hour before you consume milk. As it contains amla and there is vitamin c and sourness, it can be harmful to take it with milk. Also, it is directed by brand to take two tablespoons of it while it is better to take the amount that suits you. I mean not more than two tbspns but you can start with one tbsp.

  RATINGS 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃

★★★★1/2   4.5/5

CONCLUSION - You can try it out. It is a nice product.

Review of Knorr Classic Thick Tomato Soup.

 🍅🍵🌿🍃🍜 🌿🍃🍅🍵🌿🍃🍅🍵🌿🍃🍅 
                                                                           

Hello Friends !!!

We all love soups. They are not only healthy but full of tastes too. Specially, in winters, they are awesome. More often, when you want soup, either you go to some restaurant or prepare it at home. And yes, it takes time. However, homemade food is always pure and hygienic. I will talk later about homemade soup. But, now I am talking about tomato soup. Oh! It's my favorite. 😍😋 Being vegetarian, I love tomato soup most and then vegetable soups are the soups I am fond of !

Seeing the opportunity to provide best realising the need of people and earning more profits in this competitive world, food industries are laying emphasis on ready to made food products that require less time and no more additives.

Today, I am talking about  KNORR CLASSIC THICK TOMATO SOUP .

Is it really healthy ? Is it tasty ??? To find out , plz keep reading this. Now, I want to tell you here that the things I review about in my blogs whether Beauty blog or Health blog are purchased by me and I give reviews on my own experience. These are all honest reviews. So, in today's article also, I am sharing review about knorr classic thick tomato soup that is based on my experience of using it.

Why to wait ??? Let's begin...............

   REVIEW  OF  KNORR  CLASSIC  THICK  TOMATO  SOUP  🍅🌹🌹🌹

  WHAT  THE  BRAND  CLAIMS ? :- 

Knorr Classic Thick Tomato Soup comes with 100% Real vegetables with no added preservatives. Brand says that great taste is in our nature & claims that they don't use preservatives in their great tasting soup just like you. Knorr choose carefully the best quality vegetables & spices to give you a restaurant like soup at home. Knorr is a brand of Unilever.

Method of preparation -

For Sachet - 

1). Boil water according to the quantity mentioned per sachet. One sachet gives one serving.

2). Cut the sachet and empty whole into a cup or soup bowl.

3). Pour hot boiled water into the cup. Stir well with spoon. You will get sachet mixed with soup powder. Wait for few minutes and you can enjoy it now.

For Bigger Pack -

1). Empty entire contents of pack in 4 cups of normal water (600ml.) in a pan.

2). Place on the stove & bring to boil while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

3). Simmer for 3minutes & serve hot.

This pack will serve 4 people. Knorr was giving kroutons along with soup. But, it looks like it has stopped it so, you can add crispy pan fried bread pieces & garnish it with fresh coriander leaves.

   MY  EXPERIENCE   🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹

I purchase sometimes sachet and many times bigger pack than sachet that is of net weight of 53g. The price of bigger pack is ₹55. It comes in plastic packaging of green color and red color is used to highlight the content in it. All the details are written in green color.

It is mentioned there that the product is low in fat.

  INGREDIENTS 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹

The Green box with green dot inside means the product is a vegetarian product.

Ingredients : Sugar, Maize Starch, Tomato Paste Solids(15%), Refined Wheat Flour, Edible Common Salt, Edible Vegetable Fat, Dehydrated Vegetables (Onion Powder, Leeks (1%), Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Spices & Condiments (Black Pepper (0.4%), Anti Caking Agent (551)), Flavor Enhancer (627 & 631), Thickener (415), Red Beet Juice Powder ( Anti Caking Agent (551)), Acidity Regulator (330).

May contain traces of Soya, Milk, Mustard, Celery & Nuts.

Contains added flavours - Natural (Garlic) and Nature Identical Flavouring Substances.

 PROS. 😊👍 :-

1). Ready to made.

2). No added preservatives as mentioned by the brand on packaging.

3). Taste is good.

4). Easy to make in just few minutes.

5). If you have no time, then it better option.

6). Low fat.

7). Made up of vegetables & Spices as mentioned on pack.

8). Thick soup.

9). Can be used at home , in journey etc. specially sachets that require only boiled water.

10). Very mildly sweet.

 CONS.😕👎:-

1). May contain traces of soya, milk, mustard, celery & nuts. So, people who are allergic to these things should avoid or be cautious.

2). No matter it is claimed to be made up of natural ingredients yet you can't say it totally natural and better than homemade.

3). When I first tried it, the taste was better and even the color was resembling with homemade & restaurant made soups. However, it may be possible that food colors are added in restaurants etc. sometimes. But, then also , when I purchased again the color and taste was different. It was less tastier than before and looked like orange to light red colour.

Every brand from Unilever knorr to patanjali used to make their products in different production units. These units are small or big and the production of material depends on them very much. These products are marketed by then big companies. However,  every company claims to check their product and quality assurance dept. is there to work on it.

  RATINGS 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹 - 

3.5/5  ★★★½ / 5

  CONCLUSION :- 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹 :-

In today's time, people have busy schedule. Incase you have no time and can't make soup or are unable to go outside in a restaurant for a soup, you can go for it. Also, people who don't know how to cook much or living in places away from home where good restaurants are nothe there or if you don't want to spend more money in restaurant, you can go for it.

If you are thinking to make your own soup, then recipes are here..
