We test range of yoghurts from almond milk to high-protein on the high street to help kickstart your body
We also review make-up from budget to upmarket prices to help you sparkle this summer
YOGHURT, one of few foods with the nutritious trio of protein, live bacteria and healthy fats, is big business.
Some researchers even believe the live cultures can help manage depression.
Today I look at new products that kickstart your body from the inside... and the shimmer blushers that give you a glow on the outside.
Go nuts
Nush Foods makes dairy-free yoghurts from almond milk (£2.15 for 125g).
They come in four flavours. There is also a cashew milk version in three flavours.
Some tasted a bit dry and lacking in creaminess but the almond with caramel and hibiscus is gorgeous.
Each pot has 145 calories. See .
On the go
The Collective has launched a high-protein yoghurt in a pouch.
Pro-Yo (£1.30 for 125g) is great as a breakfast on the go, though it has the texture of soft cheese in a tube.
Odd, but it’s fun, has more protein than two eggs in each pouch and the coconut, honey and vanilla flavour was tasty.
Each pouch has 115 calories.

Vegetable
Who wants a veg yoghurt!? Brown Cow Organics has launched two flavours: beetroot or carrot with turmeric (£1.75 for 170g).
It’s made without any sugar using Guernsey protein-rich whole milk, and I loved it.
Rich, creamy and tart with an earthy flavour – and 119 calories per pot.

Budget - Shimmer Me! Cherub
£4.50, George at ASDA
With five shimmering shades from cream to pink, this palette has everything covered.
It promises to add a glowing pop of colour to the cheeks and it did just that.
It’s great value. Mixing all the shades with my blusher brush gave me a lovely summer glow.
Mid-range - Shimmer Waves Bronze
£16, The Body Shop
This versatile palette can be used in a number of ways to illuminate the face.
When swirling all the colours together to use on the cheekbones, I found it looked a little heavy rather than giving that light shimmery glow.
Using the top three colours on their own worked perfectly, though.
Luxury - Tropical Daydream Celestial Skin Shimmer
£27.50,
This rose quartz blusher palette promises to add radiant warmth.
It gave me an amazing glow when I mixed the six shades together with my brush and I also used some of the individual colours for eyeshadow. My favourite.
