As the weather cools down, most of us start craving comfort – hearty soups, cosy drinks, and maybe a few more nights on the sofa. But it’s also the perfect time to think about the little food swaps that can make a big difference to how we feel. From boosting protein to exploring natural ingredients with real benefits, these are the kinds of changes that don’t just support your health – they make eating well easy (and delicious).

If you love discovering new foods and brands, this winter’s Good Food Show is a fantastic place to get inspired. Alongside cookery demos from the likes of Mariella Frostrup, The Happy Pear and Max La Manna, there’ll be plenty of producers showcasing ingredients that make healthy eating more enjoyable – and more realistic for everyday life.

Here are four we think are worth checking out.

Peanut butter

A simple protein boost – The Peanut Butter Store

If you’re trying to get more protein into your day, peanut butter might just be your secret weapon. It’s satisfying, versatile, and can turn toast or porridge into something that actually keeps you full until lunch.

The Peanut Butter Store’s high-protein ‘Sport’ peanut butter takes that a step further, with more than 30g of protein per 100g – thanks to added plant-based proteins. It’s a small upgrade that packs a punch, perfect for anyone looking to make everyday meals work a bit harder nutritionally.

You can sample their range and pick up some ideas for high-protein snacks at the Good Food Show Winter.

Massage oil

Recovery made simple – PureXtracts Turmeric Massage Oil

After a workout (or even just a long day), recovery isn’t always top of the to-do list – but it should be. Turmeric has long been valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, and PureXtracts have bottled that up in their 100% Natural Turmeric Massage Oil.

Each blend combines turmeric with essential oils like lavender or citrus, giving you a moment of calm while helping tired muscles and joints recover. It’s a great reminder that wellbeing isn’t just about what you eat – it’s also about the mindful routines that keep your body feeling its best.

Ginger

Everyday immunity – Root2Ginger

Ginger is one of those ingredients that’s been used for centuries – for good reason. It’s warming, soothing, and great for digestion, making it a go-to during the winter months.

The team at Root2Ginger have turned this classic ingredient into a range of concentrated ginger drinks made with cold-pressed Peruvian ginger, lemon, lime and spices. They’re vegan, gluten-free, and made without additives – just clean, natural heat in a bottle.

Whether you’re a ginger shot devotee or just curious to try it, their stand at the show is the perfect place to sample and chat to the makers about all the ways to use ginger beyond your morning cuppa.

Organic ingredients

Going back to nature – Back2Roots

“Organic” can sometimes sound like just another buzzword, but at its core it’s about doing things the right way – growing and producing food without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, and protecting the soil for the future.

That’s exactly what Back2Roots stands for. Working with local farmers, they produce Mediterranean olive oils, herbs and honey that blend traditional methods with sustainable practices. The result? Beautiful ingredients that taste as good as they are for the planet.
