‘A Healthier You’ is an online healthy dried goods store where you can purchase floral teas, herbs, and even herbal soup packages, among other things. I received their gift set about a month back and it was beautifully packaged. I’d also asked Elise from A Healthier You if she could recommend some items for me so I can enjoy better sleep, clearer skin and *ahem* weight loss.
So far, the first two have been attained but I’m still waiting for the weight loss bit to happen. (‘Cos too much bbt) Haha!
And here are my top 3 favorite items from A Healthier You:
1) Dried Longan with Goji Berries and Red Dates Tea
These are packaged in convenient, sealed sachets you can take with you to the office. The lovely fragrance is evident the moment you open the pack. Take a deep, calming breath. Then proceed to make a quick and easy brew. The best part of having this tea is that you get to eat the ingredients when you’re done with the beverage!
And this is what I found out next: If you want a second ‘brew’ out of it, add more water and then chill it in the fridge. It takes just as good when served cold later too!
When I’m craving for bubble tea from now on, I’ll brew one of these instead. They’re priced affordably too, at $12 for 5 sachets.

CHEERS!

2) Peach Gum
Peach Gum is the resin from peach trees and it is rich in collagen and amino acids. As it is much lower in price ($9 for 190g, $15.50 for 360g), you may want to consume peach gum instead of the pricier bird’s nest. It does take a bit of work though as you need to let the peach gum soften by leaving it in a bowl of water overnight, and then remove the impurities in the morning.
A little really goes a long way. I left about three tablespoons of peach gum in a bowl of water and kept them overnight in the fridge. In the morning, I found they’d expanded tremendously. They don’t taste that good in their raw form so I boiled some water and added a pack of the dried longan + goji berries + red dates, together with the peach gum.
And now I have something that looks like cheng tng.
I have had a beverage with peach gum at bubble tea chain The Whale Tea before. Now I can make their ‘bubble tea’ myself.

3) Ginseng Chicken Soup
Just rinse and drain the herbs then put them in a soup pot along with chicken and about 1 litre of water. It’s really tasty and good for days when you don’t have much time to prepare a nutritious dinner. You can simply add in some vermicelli or your favorite noodle and that’s a meal already.

Other items in my gift box include Jasmine Buds (which have lots of antioxidants and may also help in weight loss), Osmanthus Buds (which supposedly have appetite suppressant qualities), Chia Seeds (which are rich in antioxidants) and French Rose Buds (which provide hydration and weight loss benefits).
Take the first step towards better health when you shop online at A Healthier You. I do recommend dropping them a note first if you have any concerns regarding existing medical conditions, or if you’d like some advice regarding which products to purchase (like I did). My main concerns were with regard to getting better sleep and having clearer skin. Weight loss would be a bonus – I know what I need to do first of all, which is to cut down on my bubble tea intake.
