You are what you eat


We’ve heard the phrase so many times ‘You are what you eat’ but how true is it and do we actually take any notice of this saying? There have been a number of studies that have shown that certain nutrients can make you feel or act a certain way. This video gives a quick insight into this http://ow.ly/2hYA1.

So if we really are what we eat why don’t we pay more attention to the food we put in our mouth on daily basis?

Organic food, often comes at a higher price which can be a deterrent for weekly shoppers, however when it comes to health it may just be worth spending that little extra cash. Besides the great taste of organic food, which for me beats GM food everytime, there is also the benefit it has to the environment and to your health. Recently there has been a growing concern for the levels of pesticide residue found in food after harvesting or storage. They have been linked to various health risks including allergies, asthma, leukaemia and even cancer. So how do we avoid it?

Simple…eat organic! Studies have shown that organic food can contain up to 80% less pesticide residue than other food. To me the health and well-being of me and my family is definitely worth a couple of extra pence.


So with this in mind I am pleased to say that our organic ice lollies not only give you a great refreshing taste but also offer a healthier option to other lollies on the market, not forgetting contributing to 1 of your 5 a day!

And as a little treat to help you enjoy the final months of summer :( why not enjoy a free trip to Thorpe Park http://ow.ly/2p7DO

Who's Real Nice?

Welcome to the first Real Nice Organic blog…my names Crystal and I am the founder of Real Nice Organic a brand aimed at producing organic treats for kids and adults.


Like all mums I want the best for my kids and I love to give them special treats every now and again just to see the priceless smile on their faces. What better treat then a nice refreshing ice lolly to cool down in the blazing sun...so I thought? After having a closer look at the ingredients of some lollies that I would normally purchase I was amazed to see the sugar content and the amount of additives they contain. What was even more shocking was the lack of healthier options in the UK.


That’s how Real Nice Organic came about, I wanted to provide my kids and other health conscious individuals with a healthier, organic way to cool down this summer while experiencing the same great taste as other lollies on the market. And so you have it, Real Nice Organic lollies...no added sugar, no added preservatives not even added water, just pure fruit on a stick! Yummy!


But Real Nice Organic is more than just a lolly, with the help of our blogs, twitter and facebook pages we aim to provide you with interesting, funny and useful information and facts about the world of organic food, refreshing lollies, fun days out in the sun and everything else associated with it!
