1. Heinz Tomato Ketchup Zero
Sugar-free but still saucy! The condiment kings at Heinz have finally cracked the code with their Tomato Ketchup Zero.
Made with British-grown tomatoes and sweetened naturally with stevia, it delivers that familiar tangy kick without the sugar crash afterwards. Perfect for chips, burgers, or secretly dolloping onto your morning eggs.
2. Rodd's Cold Brew Oat Latte
Morning commuters rejoice! Yorkshire-based Rodd's has created the smoothest cold brew that'll have coffee snobs nodding in approval.
Steeped for 24 hours in Pennine spring water before being blended with creamy British oats, this ready-to-drink caffeine fix packs a proper punch. The recyclable glass bottles make it an eco-friendly choice for dawn train journeys.
3. Irn‑Bru Pwr‑Bru Dynamo
Scotland's favourite fizzy drink just got supercharged! The secretive folks at AG Barr have added a natural caffeine boost to their legendary recipe.
Sporting the familiar orange hue but with an electrifying zing, Pwr-Bru Dynamo delivers a proper afternoon pick-me-up. Each can contains extracts of Scottish thistle and ginseng, making it the cheeky alternative to those American energy drinks.
4. CANS Non‑Sweet Sparkling Drinks
Fed up with sickly sweet sodas? CANS has launched a revolutionary range of unsweetened sparkling drinks that actually taste of something besides sugar.
Using botanical extracts and subtle fruit essences, these sophisticated thirst-quenchers come in flavours like Cucumber & Dill and Blackcurrant & Thyme. The minimalist aluminium packaging is 100% recyclable and proudly manufactured in Wales.
5. Alpa Almond Flour Protein Pasta
Carb lovers with a conscience can finally rejoice! Lancashire-based Alpa has revolutionized pasta night with their almond flour fusilli that packs a whopping 15g of protein per serving.
The nutty texture holds sauce brilliantly and cooks in just 4 minutes. Each package comes with a QR code linking to recipes developed by Great British Bake Off alumni, making weeknight dinners decidedly less boring.
6. Two Spoons High‑Protein Ice Cream
Gym bunnies and sofa sloths unite! This Cornish creamery has crafted the impossible – genuinely delicious ice cream with the protein content of a chicken breast.
Using milk from grass-fed Jersey cows and sweetened with honey, Two Spoons delivers proper indulgence without the guilt. The Sticky Toffee Pudding flavour, studded with date pieces, has already won three Great Taste awards before its official launch.
7. Aviko Deep Crinkle Slices
Sunday roasts just got a major upgrade! These revolutionary potato slices combine the best bits of roasties and chips in one glorious hybrid.
The deep crinkle cut creates maximum crispy surface area while maintaining a fluffy centre. Pre-coated in beef dripping powder and rosemary, they take just 25 minutes in the oven. Originally developed for gastropubs, they're now available in freezer aisles nationwide.
8. Black Sheep Premium Açai Bowl
Breakfast just got posher! Black Sheep has created Britain's first ready-to-eat açai bowl that doesn't cost a small fortune or require a trip to a trendy café.
The frozen base contains wild-harvested açai berries blended with British blackcurrants for an antioxidant punch. Each pot comes with a separate topping compartment filled with honey-toasted granola, Dorset-made nut butter, and freeze-dried berries.
9. Doughlicious Cookie Dough & Gelato Bites
Remember sneaking raw cookie dough as a kid? These grown-up treats capture that rebellious joy but with proper Italian gelato sandwiched in between!
The pasteurized dough uses stone-ground flour from a 300-year-old Yorkshire mill, while the gelato is churned in small batches in East London. Each bite-sized morsel comes individually wrapped in compostable paper, making portion control almost too easy.
10. Heinz Plant-Based Beans And Vegan Sausages
Britain's beloved breakfast staple gets a meat-free makeover that actually tastes proper! Heinz has created vegan sausages that don't have the texture of wet cardboard.
Made with British-grown pea protein and caramelized onions, they're nestled among the familiar tomato-sauce-drenched beans we all love. Even dedicated carnivores admit they're surprisingly moreish. Perfect on toast for a quick tea when you can't be bothered to cook properly.
