Frozen Yoghurt at Meecha

Huge trend in America,  Asia, and now in England - it is like an alternative to a meal or as a snack, depending on my mood but usually I have it as a treat.

When I travel, I always find my nearest frozen yoghurt kiosk and luckily I have one near-by which have endless options in their toppings and sauce for a set price!

 I am never disappointed in the freshness of their fruits and their chocolate brownies are always soft and chewy, perfect infusion as a treat!


Meecha is famous for their bubble tea drinks as well as their frozen yoghurt's, there aren't many places in Birmingham or England for that matter so it is dissapointing to not find one when I visit a different city or country.  Luckily for me, I have frozen yoghurt kiosk nearby called Meecha (use to be called Moocha if you are confused about the names).

Meecha offer a choice of 4 different sizes starting with mini, small, medium and large. I usually go for a small as it is very satisfying with the toppings for just an extra 80p, unless if you have a large and you want toppings then it's £1 extra. 




There are 2 choices of flavours for their frozen yoghurt's, original or vanilla (very similar to ice cream as it's sweeter). I usually go for the original as I like to mix up my toppings and one reason out of many reasons why I *love* Meecha's frozen yoghurt's is simply because their original flavoured frozen yoghurt isn't sour. When someone mentions frozen yoghurt, we automatically assumed its going to taste like frozen probiotic yoghurt which is oh-so-sour, but no, it isn't. You will be suprised how yummy it tastes! The texture is very important for me and it strikes the right balance between icy and creamy.


If you are a fan of sweet deserts or love fruit with ice cream then I would highly recommend a frozen yoghurt as they are satisfying and a real treat on a sunny day.


There is a choose-your-own-toppings service and the staff are very approachable when it comes to recommendations which is very helpful as there are sooooooo many choices.





Prices start from £2 without toppings
mini - large size tubs





Choice of toppings is endless, I love their variety because as a treat, I would have the chocolate brownies and/or chocolate buttons as well as the blueberries and/or strawberries ( you got to weigh the good with the bad hey! ) but depending on my mood I may add the popping pearls. The flavours for the popping pearls are unique because they have lychee, mango, passion fruit and more. I usually go for passion fruit to go with my blueberries.




The popping pearls can be quite weird at first because no one really knows what to expect but they are addictive as they're fun to eat and fruity - if you like fruit syrup then highly recommend this! You can have as much flavours as you like for the same price which is fantastic!








various sauce for the topping - I opted for butterscott today!


Meecha offer a loyalty card for any of their products, which means everytime you visit, you present your loyalty card and they stamp to indicate your visit, after 9 purchases, your 10th is free. Not only this is a great offer but if you work in the Bullring or have a valid NUS card, you get 10% off - Meecha are generous and love customers going back for more than 1 visit.


my final product - yummeh!!! I definitely did enjoy this out in the sun! 



If you're visiting Birmingham then this is a place I would recommend to try as Meecha is only available in Bullring Birmingham at the moment. Suitable for all ages, male and female. Did I also mention to you that the toppings are gluten free and also vegetarian friendly?

Check out Meecha Website for more information.

Enjoy!!

Honey lemon water

Such a good mix to have first thing in the morning especially when you're feeling under the weather! Having it first thing in the morning helps to kickstart your digestive system for the day! If you had a greasy meal the night before then you need this in the morning to flush out unwanted toxins in the body! 


I enjoy mine in the summer with ice, which you can store in a jug ready to pour from the fridge ! And in the winter I enjoy it hot as it warms me up! It can also help promote bowel movement which is important as our body needs to cleanse and take in energy to live. Not only this but it can also support the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by your body!

Did you know that honey can help wounds and skin cells to repair quicker? Natural honey is best as it contains the pure ingredients! Lemons are an anti-bacterial agent which powerfully help to boost your immune system as well as cleansing your digestive system!

For this combination it's great for the skin as it prevents fine lines from becoming wrinkles as well as making your skin look youthful! 

Lemons contain many substances such as citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonene which promote immunity and fight infection.

Did you know a cup of honey lemon a day can help with acne and redness too? 
Challenge yourself for 7 days if you want to change!
