Cheeki

Stainless Steel Drinking Bottles

Cheeki

Cheeki is a fresh new Australian-owned brand that was launched with the aim of supplying safe, healthy and fun stainless steel bottles. As a result we hope to encourage a significantly reduced consumption of disposable plastic water bottles.

Try leaving a full plastic bottle (re-used) and a full Cheeki bottle overnight and next morning take a sip from each – the difference in taste is incredible. Cheeki Lids are made from BPA-free non-leaching polypropylene.

Environmental Concerns - Unless disposable plastic bottles are incinerated, they will be around in landfills, oceans and parks for hundreds of years. Most of us nowadays like to think that we are environmentally conscious, yet take a look at how many people are buying, carrying around and throwing out plastic bottles on a daily basis! It’s mind-boggling. Millions of plastic bottles are thrown out – it’s really one of modern life’s most ludicrous ‘developments’ (not to mention the energy consumed in transportation and refrigeration).

Economy – you only need to refill your Cheeki bottle approximately five times as compared to purchasing five bottled waters to ‘break even’. We then hope you refill your Cheeki bottle five hundred times – for free!! (that’s a saving of about $1700!)

Fun – a cheeky range of Cheeki bottles that will quickly grow. Throw them in your bag, travel with them in your car, and stay hydrated. Sports Lids are a great accessory, as are the kid’s handles for the baby bottles. Slings and Pouches coming soon!

Dishwasher Safe – but best not to put the lids in the dishwasher, the rubber washer doesn’t like it!

Melinda’s Gluten Free Goodies

Says Melinda of her Gluten Free Products...

Melinda’s Gluten Free Goodies

“I've watched the rapid increase in the number of gluten and wheat free foods on the market and still find that it's difficult to find great-tasting home-cooked, goodies for Coeliacs, or for those choosing a gluten and/or wheat free diet – so that's why I make my own!”

“As a keen cook, Coeliac and graduate in Applied Science (Sports Nutrition), it's no wonder I set about developing recipes to help others for whom gluten is a 'no-go zone".

Try them - you won't be disappointed.

Valid for SupaSaver Saturday Only.

15% off - includes packet pre-mixes and cafe individual single wraps.

Fab Slab Cutting Boards

Great for Christmas Gifts!

Fab Slab Cutting Boards

Fab Slabs is a family owned and operated business and all of our products are proudly 100% Australian made. All cutting boards are milled, kiln dried and manufactured on the Sunshine Coast. Both Paul and Ricky (Fab Slabs Owners) are very much hands on in the production of the cutting boards to maintain a high standard of quality.

We care about the future of our planet. Fab Slabs has been involved in re-vegetation projects, planting and caring for 1000 native trees ourselves and we are a member of Land for Wildlife.

Our timber is sourced in a number of ways. On the Sunshine Coast re-vegetation projects are taking place all the time. Camphor Laurel trees are removed so that native plants can be put in their place.

Fab Slabs salvages the camphor laurel logs, then mills, dries and turns the timber into beautiful, solid timber slab cutting boards.

We are good friends with a number of arborists. When a tree does have to be removed because of road clearing, storm damage or it is a danger to a house, Fab Slabs salvages the log rather than see it dumped, burnt or chipped.

100 % Australian Made and Owned

Small, Medium and Large boards all 15% off SupaSaver Saturday only

Flannerys Own Chia Seeds

1kg Normally $24.99 Now Only $16.99 SAVE $8

Flannerys Own Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have been around for centuries, and were a main food source of the Indian’s of Mexico and the south west.  The seeds are from a chia plant, which is a member of the mint family. 

The beauty of this seed is you can add it to just about anything you want to eat. Salads, yoghurt, breads, eggs, deserts, baked goods, soup, sandwiches, sauces, smoothies and in recipes where you ordinarily use sesame seeds.

Chia can be eaten raw, hydrated or cooked. You don’t need to grind up the seeds, unless you would like to add them to flour, they are great to eat as they are. They come in two colors; black and white. Nutritionally there really is no difference between the two. 

Chia seeds are an amazing source of healthy fats, good for helping your heart!  They are rich in linoleic acid, which is an unsaturated omega 6 fatty acid. The protein content of Chia is higher that other nutritional grains (about 19 to 23% of chia seed weight is protein) and it is a complete protein, meaning that it has the appropriate balance of all essential amino acids. Chia is also high in fibre - a 15gm serving will provide 4 to 5gm of fibre. Our body requires at least 35gm of fibre a day to stay healthy. They contain boron which is essential for bone health, are rich in calcium, have two times more potassium than bananas, and three times more antioxidants than blueberries. They are a Good Source of B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and copper.

Some Health benefits attributed to the Chia seed are:

  • build muscle and tissue
  • help stop cravings for sweet treats
  • help stabilise blood sugar
  • gluten free
  • help in detoxifying your body
  • easily digested and absorbed

Valid to 30 November 09

Flannerys Own Certified Organic Figs

1kg - Normally $23.99 Now Only $16.99 Save $7

Flannerys Own Certified Organic Figs For those fitness buffs out there, you may know figs as the "fitness fruit" because they are a powerhouse of nutrition. They contain a high concentration of minerals, nutrients, and fiber like no other fruit in nature. Contrary to popular belief, the true fruit of the fig is the hundreds of tiny droplets inside the fig that are usually mistaken for its seeds. The whole fig is actually the encasing that holds the hundreds of tiny fruits on the inside.

Valid until 30 Nov 09
