Oats so good! Delicious Jungle Oats recipes

Jungle Oats has forever been the first brand that comes to mind when I think of oats. No wonder as ‘The Breakfast of Champions’ has been around for 95 years! Jungle Oats recently held a media breakfast that I unfortunately couldn’t attend (damn you day job!), but when I received the press email, I knew I had to share what they’ve been up to and these lip-smacking Jungle Oats recipes by Zola Nene. Enjoy!

Oats are nature’s perfect energy-source. For almost a century, Jungle Oats has been South Africa’s energy champion. If you’ve ever wondered why Jungle Oats is such a trusted brand, consider the following:

  • Jungle Oats are full of fibre, which is essential for heart and colon health: it assists to lower cholesterol, stabilises blood sugar and prevents constipation (if combined as part of balanced diet, low in salt and fat)
  • Jungle Oats contain important minerals, like iron and zinc and other essentials for good health.
  • Jungle Oats are the perfect breakfast. Oats make an easy-to-prepare, balanced meal that provides sustained energy for the day. They also keep you feeling fuller for longer, and so less likely to snack indiscriminately.

Marketing Executive, Maria Soares, explains: “Oats are a reliable and wholesome source of long-lasting fuel for your body. Jungle Oats helps you start strong and stay ahead. Whatever kind of champion you are, we have a natural source of energy for you.”

Jungle Oats’ new strap line “Have a good breakfast, you have a big life ahead of you” emphasises the importance of breakfast as essential for sustained energy for mental and physical readiness. No matter who you are, you have the ability to become a champion with the right preparation!

There is a Jungle Oats product perfectly suited to you and your lifestyle. For kids, there is Crunchalots; for people on the run there is the convenient Jungle Oats Instant and the convenient Jungle OatsoEasy range. For the more athletic, there is Jungle Ultra and for families, the original Jungle Oats Hot porridge. New products have been launched, including Jungle Oatso Easy Cups, with instant Jungle Oats, real fruits and nuts. All you have to do is add boiling water, stir and enjoy in the cup.

Jungle Oats’ commitment to helping South African children reach their full potential has seen them feed over 30 million school children over the past five years.  Together with the Tiger Brands Foundation, the campaign “Nourishing young growing minds” means they will continue to provide the most essential meals, breakfast as well as lunch.

Tangle Angel Detangling Hair Brush review

My rock ‘n roll heart skipped a beat when I laid my eyes on Tangle Angel Totally Turquoise. Angel wings! Isn’t this the most gorgeous hair brush you have ever seen?!

Tangle Angel Hair Brush Review Pretty Please Charlie

The Tangle Angel was designed by celebrity and Royal hairdresser Richard Ward:

‘Customers and stylists on the salon floor often found that other detangling brushes slipped out of their hands as they had no handle whereas some of my 80-strong team of stylists and technicians like to hold their brushes around the body for greater control so we needed a design that worked for both the consumer and the professional. We experimented with different concepts but the most ergonomic was the design that looked like it had wings, so the Tangle Angel was born.’

So the angel wings design isn’t just to make the brush easier on the eye! If I had to rate this product on looks alone though, it would get an 11/10, but let’s get down to the brush itself.

The hair brushes are antibacterial, anti-static, ergonomically designed and heat resistant.

Turquoise looks gorgeous standing up and it’s water resistant. I love that I can use it on wet hair as I prefer to detangle both my own and my little girl’s curls when we condition. It is very easy to work with whether I use it holding the handle or around the wings. The bristles are positioned at different heights to allow for easier detangling. And it works.

I am very happy with this brush and I am sure it will be on many girls’ Christmas wish lists this year.

The Tangle Angel range also includes Tangle Angel Classic, Xtreme, Cherub and Baby.

The Pet Angel deserves an extra special mention.

‘After much research we realised that nearly all pet grooming brushes are made from metal but also look quite torturous and perfunctory. That’s why we came up with our strapline –‘Makes Grooming your Pet a Pleasure not a Pain’ as the feedback has been amazing – not only is it kind and gentle but it’s clearly very giftable. We’ve got clips from our testers of their animals experiencing pain free, hygienic grooming and they’re great to watch. The fact that it was tested on humans just adds to the story!’

Isn’t it stunning?!

Prices range from R80 for Tangle Angel baby to R380 for Tangle Angel Xtreme.

Tangle Angel is available at selected salons on online at Tangle Angel and Retailbox.
