Like Ham & Cheese on Crack

You've probably been to Pret numerous times on your daily breakfast run and thought to yourself, God, it's that same old thing again; "a yoghurt and raspberry jam parfait, please, take away". Off you go, with a grunt and a softly-dying appetite, at the thought of swallowing down yet another tasteless breakfast this week. It's doesn't have to be that way, zesties. Weekday breakfast can be fun again! This morning, I took the adventurous road down the bakery aisle at Pret and bought myself a melty crispy, goldeny brown Ham & Cheese croissant. I did it. Carbs for breakfast, zestie, it's a fact. So sue me.

It's got all the winner ingredients for a happy breakfast and a splendid start to the day: the ham, the bacon, the cheese, the juicy tomato sauce, the crispy crust - it basically is 352 calories of pure goodness. I can't wait til tomorrow morning. Did I just hear my alarm clock?

The Marvelous Pure Pret Soda

I've just made the most fantastic discovery. Yesterday, as I was grabbing my regular lunch at Pret and quickly browsing through the shelves, I fell upon this curious looking soda...

In the spirit of trying new stuff out for the sake of my blog I grabbed the most appetizing one, the Sparkling Apple and went to pay at the counter shortly thereafter. The man at the cashier looked at me quizzically and said: "You look like you've never tried this one before." I responded "I've never tried any of them before!" The look on his face made it seem like I had just killed his grandma. I left feeling anxious and really really needy of that drink. How could I have been so out of the loop!??

As I popped the can open, the sound of sparkly sodium rich liquid tickled my ear and I had to have my frist sip. The man was right! By never trying this before, it was EXACTLY like I had killed his grandma! It was so unbelievable that I went back that afternoon to statiate my sugar fix.

I am now anxiously twisting in my chair waiting for my next lunch trip to Pret so I can pop open that marvelous Sparkly Apple Pure Pret Soda.

Next time you're popping into Pret, don't go for the obvious Diet Coke or Diet whatever, grab a "Sparkling Apple with Absolutely No Nasties". It's only 48kcal, it's made of pure stuff, and it takes care of that sugar fix.
