Maintaining a healthy diet is a priority for everyone, but let’s face it, sometimes, healthy eating can feel a bit, well, bland. That’s where our favourite sauces come into play, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
These days, Australians are discovering a clever way to add a bit of spice to their meals without sacrificing their healthy habits. It’s not your typical sauce, mind you. It’s sweet, but with a delightful, unexpected kick that’s got everyone talking.
The Capilano Hot Chilli Honey has become the latest sensation. Priced at $7.50, this sweet and spicy product is available at Coles and Woolworths, showing that it’s possible to find a flavourful option without spending too much.
The trend began with a viral recipe called the ‘healthy girl bowl’—a nutritious mix of cottage cheese, sweet potato, and beef, perfect for those on a diet. But the real secret to elevating this dish to new heights? A drizzle of Capilano Hot Chilli Honey.
Danielle Mitchell, a nutritionist with a following of 395,000 on social media, showed how this addition brought the viral lunch recipe ‘all together’, amassing over 1.4 million views online.
‘The hot honey elevated the dish, adding a unique flavour that balances sweetness with a subtle but impactful heat. Added with the cottage cheese, it creates a blend similar to a sweet chilli Philadelphia-style dip,’ she said.
‘The perfect mix of sweet and savoury, not only does the hot honey introduce a bold, flavourful twist, but it also brings the added benefits of honey’s natural properties, making the viral healthy girl bowl both a delicious and health-conscious choice.’
But Danielle isn’t alone in her praise for this sauce. A food enthusiast, Vanessa has also tried the healthy girl bowl with a dash of hot honey on top, calling it a ‘game changer’ and her ‘current hyper fixation’.
Even Renee May, a social media personality, turned to Capilano Hot Chilli Honey to elevate her healthy lunch. She layered Cruskits with cottage cheese and chilli tuna before adding the honey for that extra zing.
‘It looks like a dog’s breakfast, but I promise it’s the most amazing high-protein meal,’ she said.
Capilano Hot Chilli Honey stands out because it blends premium Australian floral honey with fiery habanero chilli, crafted by expert honey blender Peter Underwood. It’s a testament to the brand’s commitment to supporting local beekeepers since its inception by brothers Tim and Bert Smith in 1953.
