Prices vary by size and packaging, so check each product page for current options.
1. Magnesium Chloride Flakes, Dead Sea origin
Dead Sea magnesium chloride flakes dissolve in warm water. After a hot day, add a handful to a bath or foot bowl and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Take a look at the bag size or browse the magnesium range.
- Use it for: evening baths and foot soaks.
- Tip: use warm rather than hot water in summer so it feels comfortable.
2. Organic Cranberry Powder
Organic Cranberry Powder is a tart, ruby-red powder made from cranberries. It is non-GMO and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Cooling cranberry fizz: stir half a teaspoon of powder with a little cold water, add ice and a few mint leaves, then top up with sparkling water. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Use it for: smoothies, spritzers, yoghurt bowls and overnight oats.
3. Ultra Fine Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)
Cutetonic Ultra Fine Vitamin C is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The powder has a sharp, citrusy tang. Stir the amount shown on the label into a glass of cold water or squash and drink straight away.

4. Organic Pea Protein
Organic Pea Protein is made from organic yellow peas and is plant-based. It has a mild, slightly savoury taste and blends well with fruit.
Summer smoothie: blend one scoop of pea protein, a banana, a handful of frozen mango and 250 ml of cold milk or plant drink until smooth.

5. Organic Beetroot Powder

FAQs
Can I use these in a smoothie together?
Some combinations work well, such as pea protein with berries, or beetroot with apple and ginger. Add one new ingredient at a time so you can judge the flavour.
How should I store powders in hot weather?
Keep pouches sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and steam.
Are the products suitable for vegans?
The fruit and vegetable powders and the pea protein are plant-based. Check each product page and label for allergen details.
