Making Better Food Choices with Raw Bites PH

It’s been busy, busy, busy in these parts and I’ve been at risk for neglecting myself once again, but then an “old friend” reached out 🙂 I reviewed the Raw Bites healthy snacks subscription box back in 2017, and Raw Bites PH got back in touch with me to show off their new offerings.

Raw Bites has now expanded into distributing and selling many more products designed for a healthy, sustainable, and holistic lifestyle. In fact, scrolling through their catalogue (which is updated quarterly) I just got lost in all they had to offer.

I’m a big fan of alternative grain sources, so I tried out Freee Supergrain Hoops Cereal and Freee Brown Rice Penne Pasta which are both gluten-free and vegan. Also, I love herbal teas to wind down and destress after a long day of work, so I got the Teapigs Organic Calm Relaxing Tea. Check out my vlog below for how I used these three products from Raw Bites PH.

If you want the recipe for the red sauce penne pasta I made in the video, here it is:

Ingredients (serves 3)

  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3 sausages (your choice), chopped
  • 2 250g packs Clara Ole three cheese tomato sauce
  • 250g Freee Brown Rice Penne Pasta

Method:

  1. Sautee onion until translucent, then add chopped sausages.
  2. Add tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. (You can also add red chili flakes at this stage.)
  3. Boil the pasta in 2.5 liters of water for 5 minutes, checking to see if they’ve turned al dente.
  4. Scoop three tablespoons of the pasta water into the red sauce.
  5. Strain the pasta and add directly into the sauce. Stir until evenly coated.
  6. Add cheese to taste.

Eating food made with quality ingredients goes toward improving my wellbeing and taking care of myself, so I’m happy that Raw Bites has gathered so many great foods together all in one place (their website!) so I can make better choices.

Raw Bites provides access to a wide range of sustainable wholesome food products from local and imported suppliers, source the best healthy snacks with proven success and deliver them to your doorstep. They distribute to modern trade, local community stores, and online channels (i.e. Lazada, Shopee, BeautyMNL) and www.rawbites.com.ph.
