Sourced Box has officially entered double figures! Well, in months anyway. With a number of snack bars to keep me powering on through my endless amounts of uni work and the return of a few of my favourite brands, October’s box is by far one of the best to date.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY | 28/9/16
I feel as if my blog posts have been all over the place recently and for that I apologise. Having now started uni, I’ve been in the process of trying to find that balance between my studies, social life & my YouTube/blogging. It’s harder than I thought but I promise I will not let the latter falter!
Anyway, I thought I’d write up a classic ‘What I Ate Wednesday’ to keep my blog ticking over for another few days.
BREAKFAST
WEETABIX WITH BANANA & AGAVE NECTAR
This is the perfect representation of what my breakfasts usually look like. Fruit just thrown on top! One of my go-to breakfasts but with a bit of a twist. I usually have soy milk but my Mum bought me coconut milk by accident. I’m not overly fussed with it in my coffee but with my Weetabix (and also my porridge) I really liked it. The coconut gives it that bit more extra flavour.
CHANGING YOUR DIET FOR THE BETTER
This is a bit of a spontaneous post but I feel as if these are always the best kind as it’s what is on my mind right at this moment in time. I recently watched Melanie Murphy’s latest ‘Food Diary Friday’ and it really got me thinking. Her Dad recently had a heart attack and in the video she talks about the changes both she and her Dad are making to their diets and also touches on the idea of becoming a ‘reducetarian‘ – someone who reduces their meat intake.
SOURCED BOX | SEPTEMBER ’16
Summer is over and my favourite time of year is now upon us. Sourced Box have started Autumn with a bang with a delicious range of new snacks to try. The colder months also means that chocolate has officially made a return to the box!
Here’s a look at what was in the September box.
WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY | 31/8/16
Yesterday I went into Glasgow with my boyfriend to collect my student card so I thought it would be a bit more interesting to document what I ate on a day where I was out and about. I was reunited with my beloved Boots meal deal and had my third (yes, THIRD) pumpkin spice latte of the season.
So, without further ado, let’s get right on into it.
WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY | 24/8/16
I recently started a new part time job at Sainsbury’s and with this means that I need to bring some food with me. I work 6pm-10pm which is a bit of an awkward time as I usually have my dinner around 6ish. Due to this change in my ‘eating schedule,’ I thought I would show you what my food looks like on a typical working day.
SOURCED BOX | AUGUST ’16
Another month, another Sourced Box. The August box sees a lot of returning brands which is great since it’s always a struggle to try and get my hands on these products. From tea to kale crisps to protein bars, this box is probably one of the most varied yet! So, without further ado, let’s get into it.
WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY | 10/8/26
Today marked the day that I finally bought myself a new phone after needing a new one for about a year. It also marked the day that I was finally able to play Pokemon Go without it crashing. Better late than never! In order to fuel my new found Pokemon hunting it was important to keep my energy levels up so as always, a day filled with delicious food was necessary.
‘SQUIRREL SISTERS’ COCONUT CASHEW REVIEW
I first discovered Squirrel Sisters through Sourced Box a few months ago and I have been obsessed ever since. Unfortunately, it has proved hard to get my hands on the snacks but thankfully both Sourced Box and new snacking service My Vitamins have sorted me out a few more times with these divine bars. I recently got to try the coconut cashew flavour and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
