Lawyer Monthly Magazine - January 2019 Edition

DEC 2018 128 www. lawyer-monthly .com Legal LIFESTYLE Solution? An East London-based start-up Minor Figures who are changing up the way we drink ready-made coffee drinks, combining great quality cold-brew with simple ingredients (naturally vegan). The small team are pioneers of premium nitro cold brew coffee (the nitrogen makes the drink pour out creamy, like a Guinness…!) Minor Figures’ mission is to get people drinking better quality, healthier iced coffee. Specialty coffee is on the rise yet iced coffee remains dominated by sugar-laden coffee-flavoured milkshakes, which are now a thing of the past. The super-refreshing, super-simple Black Coffee is infused with nitrogen for a creamy texture and canned, ready to drink. The Iced Mocha combines the same smooth nitro coffee with house-made oat m*lk (a favourite of the UK’s best baristas) and cocoa – the result is a delicious dairy-free ice-cold mocha. Iced Latte blends the inherently sweet nitro cold brew with oat m*lk for a light and reviving jolt of energy. When opening your can of Minor Figures, you’ll be greeted by a satisfying loud crack from the nitrogen-infused widget within which provides micro-bubbles for a silky mouth feel. For the full cascading effect, pour from a height into a glass and you’ll be treated to an inviting creamy head to your drink. Always drink chilled. Did Somebody Say Snacks!? If they counted as a meal, it would be the best meal ever. Snacking lifts up your soul, especially on the days you have to work extra hours, or when you overslept and don’t have enough time for your toast in the morning. But what can vegans have? Chocolate is a no go, breakfast biscuits are written off and many of our beloved crisps for some godforsaken reason contain milk!? Fear not, here are Lawyer Monthly’s favourite vegan snacks, starting with my personal favourite: Bananito These healthy treats are 100% natural, gluten-free, high in fibre, source of potassium, low in calories, and packed with flavour. Best of all, you can count them as one of your five a day. But the amazing thing, is that they taste the opposite of healthy; the perfect amount of indulgence to satisfy your sweet tooth that is under 90 calories…did I mention it being one of your five a day!? What more could you ask for? The Protein Ball Co. Bye-bye breakfast biscuits. Hello Protein Ball.
