Sprouting is a way of growing grains that allows the seeds to begin to sprout before milling them down into products like flour. This breaks down the starch content and makes them easier for our bodies to process - something very important to the huge numbers of people going gluten and wheat free. Already trendy in the US, healthy eating company Rude Health have launched several sprouted products that are available in Whole Foods and Waitrose, and it's certain to take off this year.

Bone broth

While it sounds a little like a Halloween drink, bone broth is the newest health drink around. It is similar to stock - animals bones boiled and flavoured with herbs for several hours to make a nutrient-filled broth, but US bloggers have been raving about it, saying the taste is comparable to the liquid of a chicken soup - so nicer than stock. It promises to boost amino acids, cure colds and even tackle signs of arthritis, so throw out that green juice and make way for a hearty, healthy drink this winter.
