Solevita Multifrutos ACE vs Limonada de Mirtilo – Lidl Portugal Juice Taste Test & Comparison

8/7/2025

Time to taste-test and review two popular Lidl Portugal juices – Solevita Multifrutos ACE and Limonada de Mirtilo. Which one is more refreshing, flavorful, and worth your money? Find out in this juice showdown.

Solevita Multifrutos ACE Sumo

First up we have ACE multifrutos sumo (juice) from the brand Solevita, purchased at Lidl in Portugal.

This post is part of a series: July Lidl Grocery Store Finds & Reviews • Expats in Portugal

Solevita Multifrutos ACE Juice | Lidl Review Blog

What's in Multifrutos ACE juice from Solevita?

Surely you can guess from the vibrant hue that there is definitely carrot juice in here.

The carrot (cenoura in Portuguese) juice is accompanied by apple juice, and white grape juice to make a delicious, smooth juice packed with vitamins A, C, and E as the name suggests. ;)

Limonada de Mirtilo

Next up is the Limonada de Mirtilo, or Blueberry Lemonade also by the brand Solevita and purchased at Lidl Portugal.

Limonada de Mirtilo | Portugal Grocery Reviews

What's in Solevita Limonada de Mirtilo?

Water, lemon juice, sugar, lemon pulp, blueberry pulp, spirulina concentrate, flavor, and edulcorante which is the portuguese word for sweetener. In this case that sweetner is sucralose (splenda) in portuguese - sucralosa.

Solevita Limonada de Mirtilo Ingredients and Nutrition Facts:

Below you can see the nutrition information and the ingredient lists in Spanish and Portuguese for this blueberry lemonade from Lidl.

A crisp lemonade is always refreshing in the summer time and who wouldn't love the extra antioxidant punch of blueberries and spirulina?

Which Juice IS Best:

While the lemonade is refreshing and I'm sure I will pick it up again from time to time, my personal pick is the Multifrutos ACE juice. I love having some carrot juice and combining it with apple and white grape makes it so smooth and enjoyable!

Also I'm not the biggest fan of the taste of sucralose (Splenda) so it's always the first thing I taste when it's in a beverage like this blueberry lemonade. I appreciate it can take a lot of natural sugar to balance a lemonade and that isn't suitable for everyone, though.

Multifrutos ACE juice for the WIN! :)

What is a NISS in Portugal and Can You Get a nISS Online?

7/31/2025

In this article you will learn what a NISS is, who needs a NISS, and where to get a NISS online in Portugal.

Tagged: Expats in Portugal • Americans in Portugal

This article is part of the series:
Living in Portugal: Tips for Expats and Anyone Considering Moving to Portugal

What is a Niss?

A NISS is a Portuguese Social Security number.

What does NISS stand for?

Numero de Identificação de Segurança Social

Learn Portuguese!

Numero de Identificação - Identification Number
Segurança Social - Social Security

What Is a Niss For?

As a NISS is a social security number in Portugal, it's purpose is to allow it's holder to access social security benefits.

Having a NISS also allows your Portuguese employer to make necessary Social Security contributions on your behalf.

Do I need a Niss if I am Retired?

In the past, it was generally not necessary and in some cases not even possible for a retired foreigner in Portugal to obtain a NISS.

Some have reported needing a NISS to access state funded Portuguese language courses for foreigners and being able to obtain the number in that context (to attend the language course) without having employment in Portugal.

Currently, for foreigners who are retired and living in Portugal with a residence permit (título de residência), having a NISS is a *new* requirement.

Learn Portuguese!

How to say "retired" in European Portuguese: Reformado.
How to say "I am retired" in European Portuguese: Estou reformado (male) or Estou reformada (female)
You can also say "Sou reformado" or "Sou reformada"

Estou means "I am" and is usually used in the context of a temporary state whereas Sou means "I am" in a more permanent way. As retirement is generally a permanent status, you can correctly say "ou reformado/a" if you wish! :)

Can I get a Niss without a Job?

If you are still looking for a job in Portugal, you may be wondering "Can I get a NISS without a job?" The answer is yes because it is now required to have a NISS before renewing a Portuguese residence permit (título de residência).

Do I need a Niss if I do not work in portugal?

Yes. You will need a NISS. It is a new requirement for foreigners (estrangeiros) holding a Portuguese residence permit (título de residência) to obtain a NISS in order to renew (renovar) their Portuguese residence permit.

Do I need to pay for a NISS?

No. Obtaining a NISS is free and there is no fee for it from the Portuguese government / Social Security (Segurança Social).

Some choose to pay legal representatives to obtain the number in their behalf and in this case, of course, there would be a fee with the understanding that the fee is not for the actual number but for the service of someone else obtaining it for you.

Is a NISS needed to renew temporary residency in Portugal?

Yes. It is currently a new requirement for anyone renewing their Portuguese Residence Permit (título de residência) to have a NISS (Numero de Identificação de Segurança Social).

This will enable those reviewing the permit renewals to verify that the permit holder is in good standing with Social Security in Portugal and does not have any outstanding debts.

What documents do I need to get a Niss?

To get a NISS online you will need:

Portuguese NIF (Numero de Identificação Fiscal)
Identification such as Portuguese Residence Permit (título de residência) or Passport
Address

Can I request a NISS online?

Yes! You can successfully request a NISS online via the Segurança Social website seg-social.pt.

It can be a big challenging to find the correct link to access the form, so please see our tutorial "How To Get a NISS Online: A Step-By-Step Tutorial" for an easy to follow walk through. :)

How to Get A Niss Online: A Step-by-step Tutorial (With Pictures)

Disclaimer

This article was written in good faith, in an effort to assist those who are very confused and possibly distressed trying to understand how they can request a NISS before renewing their temporary residence permit and having their appointment with AIMA. Processes and requirements are dynamic and can change at any time. It is our wish that this resource is helpful to you.

I could Cry - Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich Review

7/25/2025

0 Comments

Will a classic chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich from Continente stack up to this chocolate cookie ice cream sandwich?

This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal

Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Enter Continente Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwiches - 4 pack. By the way, no, not a star wars themed ice cream sandwich.

Continente Cookie Wookie Pepitas de Chocolate e Gelado

Continente Cookie Wookie Ingredients and Nutrition Facts

Described as "Vanilla flavor ice cream between layers of cookies with chocolate chips", these ice cream sandwiches contain 2.6g of protein per sandwich. It's not Skyr, but it's not nothing. :p

Ingredients and Nutrition Facts - Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich

Continente Cookie Wookie First Impression

I have high standards for chocolate chip cookies and naturally one lowers said standards for a store brand ice cream sandwich, yet I must admit I am immediately skeptical.

Cookie Wookie Ice Cream Sandwich - Cookie Pic

Ice Cream Overhang

The cookie wookie presents with a bit of ice cream overhang and we can't be mad about that. Ice cream overhang can be like a muffin top - the best part.

The Ice Cream Over-Hang Was The Best Part :'(

It Nearly Brought Me To Tears...

This picture about sums up the Cookie Wookie.

Sad, sad, sad, sad, sadddddd ice cream sandwich experience.

First Bite: Continente Cookie Wookie - Made Us Saddie Waddie

Problems with this ice cream sandwich:

Cookie texture is not bueno. Crumbly and with very mediocre flavor.
The cookie sticks to your fingers in a weird, uncomfortable way. Blech.
Cookie-to-ice-cream ratio is off, especially given the mid-ness of the cookies themselves.

This last point is especially unfortunate because the ice cream actually had decent flavor and thanks to the aforementioned over-hang we could get a taste of it untainted by the crumbly blah-ness of the cookie. Sadly this element is completely lost because of how bad the cookie "bun" is. I hope Continente reworks this product.

Skip This!

Based on the box we bought, we'd say skip the Cookie Wookie at Continente. They have other ice cream products that are much better including this one.

On the other hand, A Very Good Ice Cream Sandwich:

Snack Day Leitão Batatas Fritas Review – Lidl Portugal Roast Pork Flavored Chips

7/25/2025

0 Comments

Trying local flavors of snacks like potato chips (crisps for my English friends), is one of our favorite activities to do when traveling abroad. Have you done it?!

This post is part of a series: July 2025 European Grocery Store Finds • Expats in Portugal

Classic Portuguese Flavored Chips (Crisps)

One very portuguese flavor of chips you will find when living in Portugal or while on holiday in Portugal is Leitão.

Trying Portuguese Chips (Crisps) - Leitao Flavor | Portugal Food Blog

What Is Leitao?

Leitão is tender, roast suckling pig marinated in a molho (sauce) with garlic, herbs, and a peppery finish.

Snack Day com Sabor a Molho de Leitão Batatas Fritas Ingredients and Nutrition Facts

Snack Day Leitao Chips are made with óleo de girassol (sunflower oil). You can check the nutrition facts and ingredients below:

Snack Day Batatas Fritas Sabor a Molho de Leitao | Lidl Reviews

Lidl Leitao Chips Review

I'm a big fan of the leitao chips. I think they are a fun, very Portuguese flavor of crisps to try. I love that they have chosen wavy, ridge chips for this flavor.

Lidl Roast Suckling Pig Chip Review | Leitão Flavor

While they aren't a flavor I want every single time, when you're in the mood for something a bit different they can be just what the doctor ordered. I love the peppery bite and I'm never mad I bought them.

Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Review - Is The Extra Protein Worth The Cost?

7/20/2025

0 Comments

Portugal has a love of dairy. You will find aisles of cheeses, yogurts and the like in a Portuguese grocery store.

And for whatever reason, sometimes people with a history of lactose intolerance in the US (hi, it's me!) can consume all manner of dairy in Portugal, problem free. YAY!

Queijo Fresco (Fresh CHeese) Cups

With this wide open door of opportunity and a desire to add some more easily accessible protein into our days, we started grabbing queijo fresco cups, first from the grocery store Lidl and in this case from Continente.

What Does Queijo Fresco Mean?

Queijo Fresco means Fresh Cheese in Portuguese.

These cheeses are typically soft and creamy, almost like a cousin to fresh mozzarella imo. These fresh cheeses come in a cup and you can scoop them out with a spoon or I suppose turn them upside-down and slice them as shown below

Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina | High Protein Cheese in Portugal

One day recently we saw that there was an "extra protein" version of the name brand Matinal's queijo fresco at the local continente. Each cup would pack 10g of protein!

Portuguese Fresh Cheese Nutrition Facts

Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Nutrition Information | Portugal Food & Travel Blog

Matinal Queijo Fresco + Proteina Review - Is The Extra Protein Worth The Cost?

In our opinion, no.

You know how sometimes when you make a drink with a protein/nutrition powder it has that gritty taste? You basically think to yourself "This doesn't taste that good, but I'll still drink it because _____" Fill in the blank of whatever benefits you're trying to get from it.

That's how we felt about this product. Sure you are getting a couple extra grams of protein per cup, but at what cost?

Besides the slightly higher monetary cost, you are also paying a higher price in that you loose the smooth and satisfying texture of this fresh cheese and replace it with a grittier, less enjoyable experience. :(

For us, we will stick with the regular fresh cheese cups. They have around 7-8g of protein per cup anyways and actually taste good. :)

What is continente?!

Oh by the way, are you wondering what Continente is? Continente is a Portuguese grocery store, a popular supermarket. It's actually more of a hypermarket. For an American, think of it as a Portuguese Target or Walmart. Closest comparison I can make. The larger locations have a full grocery store as well as beauty, toys, tools, home & garden, clothing, pharmacy, optometrist, and a cafe!

DIY Air Fryer Fish and Chips | Continente Portugal Frozen Battered Fish Review

7/20/2025

1 Comment

If you're looking for solid Fish and Chips in Algarve, I can recommend Lara's Plaice in Albufeira and The Water Dog in Armacao de Pera. Two very different styles and atmospheres, but both yummy and repeatable.

Unfortunately time, location, and budget won't always permit to go to a fish and chips joint, so the freezer aisle will have to do!

Continente Filetes de Pescada com Ovo

We found "fish filets with egg" (filetes de pescada com ovo) at the local Continente and wanted to give them a try in the air fryer.

Filetes de Pescada com Ovo | Continente Review Blog

Continente Battered FIsh Ingredients, Nutrition Facts, and Cooking Instructions:

Ingredients, Cooking Instructions, Nutrition Facts | Continente Egg Battered Fish Fillets

As we were cooking these in the air fryer, we followed the package instructions of cooking the filets without defrosting at 200C (392F) for 11-13 minutes.

Add to Cart: Beer Battered Fish

The Result:

The result was a tasty, simple fish sandwich dinner perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

We served it on a long fresh baked Portuguese roll called a cacetinho, or french roll, topped with ketchup and iceburg lettuce. Add some french fries (chips for brits) and you're sorted!

Air Fryer Fish Sandwich | Portugal Food Blog

Okay obv this isn't the same as a true British Fish + Chips and air frying a battered fish fillet is never going to be the same as deep frying, but still this is a solid option for an easy and quick meal. :)

Easy Air Fryer MeatLoaF Weeknight Meal Idea with Lidl

7/15/2025

0 Comments

First things first:

Is meatloaf one word or two words?
Meat loaf ... Meatloaf ... Meat loaf ... Meatloaf... I can't tell. The more I stare at it the weirder it looks either way. According to the internet both spellings are used so now that that is sorted we can carry on!

Can You Cook Meatloaf In An Air Fryer?

You better believe it!

Meat loaf is an American comfort food and it can be an easy weeknight meal idea made even easier by using an air fryer! Wait. Is air fryer one word or two? :p

This post is part of a series: June 2025 Lidl Grocery Store Finds • Americans in Portugal

Does Portugal Have Meat Loaf?

Portugal has something called a "rolo de carne" (literally "meat roll") which is similar but more of a rolled up meat loaf with cheese or other filling stuffed inside. (Think of a pumpkin roll, but with meat and cheese).

This 'Portuguese meatloaf' can be tasty, but sometimes the ground meat gets a bit dried out during cooking since it's thinner in order to roll up around the recheio (Portuguese word for "filling").

So anyways... back to a simple meatloaf...

How To Make Meat LoaF In An Air Fryer

Meat loaf is a blank canvas. You start with ground meat of your choice, shown here is beef, and then add salt & pepper and adapt it to any flavor profile you want.

Some meat loaf recipes call for eggs and breadcrumbs (Oh by the way, many ground meat packages in Portugal already contain bread crumbs or similar, so please double check if you're eating gluten free)

Just chuck everything in a big pan and combine it all with your hands, ideally. It feels gross, but you can do it! This working of the meat not only incorporates the flavors of your chosen spices, but also contributes to the end texture of the american rolo de carne.

Raw Meat Loaf | Air Fryer Cooking

If it grosses you out too much, don't worry, you can use a utensil, but you'll still want to get your hands involved to form the meatloaf well.

Once you have mixed everything together and shaped the meat into a loaf shape (lol), place it on the air fryer basket!

Cooking Meat Loaf In An Air Fryer

What temperature should I cook a meat loaf in an air fryer?
Try setting your air fryer for 190C (375F) and cook it for around 25 minutes if its 1 kilo (~2 pounds)

What is the internal temperature for meat loaf?
Ground beef, like in a meatloaf, should be cooked to 165 degrees internal temperature to ensure food safety.

Cooked Meat Loaf in Air Fryer | Easy Weeknight Dinner Ideas

How to tell if meatloaf is cooked inside?
Easy! Use an instant read meat thermometer. Ensure it reads 165F or ~74C.

What To Eat With MeatLoaf

There are so many delicious side dishes for meatloaf. For example:

Mac and Cheese
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Corn on the Cob
Corn Bread
Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
Steamed Veggies like Brocoli, Cauliflour, and Carrots

Barbecue Meat Loaf with Steamed Veggies and Quinoa Rice Blend

Get Yo'self an Air Fryuh

For this quick weeknight meal I just made a plain meat loaf.

When it was nearly done I added barbecue sauce and put it back in the air fryer to sizzle.

For sides we just had the default - frozen veggies from Lidl (this time broccoli, cauliflour, and carrots) along side rice with some quinoa mixed in.

Ways To Make Meatloaf More Interesting

Instead of BBQ sauce, try a Ketchup (heinz plz + tks) topped meatloaf!
Use a beefy mushroom soup mix when you prepare the meat mixture
Stuff it with cheese in the middle - try mozzarella, cheddar, pepper jack, provolone, gouda, or havarti.
Wrap it in bacon. Nuff said. ;)

Honestly, It's Not That Spicy - Lidl Vitasia Gochujang Paste Review

7/15/2025

0 Comments

It seems to be Korean season at Lidl and I'm here for it! Besides trying Shin Red Korean Instant Ramen, we picked up this squeeze pouch of Gochujang paste.

This post is part of a series: June 2025 Lidl Grocery Store Finds • Americans in Portugal

Vitasia Korean Style Gochujang Paste

What is Gochujang?
Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste. It is a versatile ingredient that adds depth with its sweet-spicy, umami flavor, giving Korean flair to your cooking!

Vitasia Korean Style Gochujang Paste Ingredients & Nutrition Facts

Most often you get Gochujang in a tub like this, but this squeeze pouch is actually easy to use so it's pretty convenient!

Here you can check out the nutrition facts and ingredients in Lidl Gochujang paste which looks to be primarily water, sugar, red chili pepper, fermented soy paste, garlic, wheat.

Lidl Gochujang Ingredients

How to Use Gochujang Paste

I decided to use the Gochujang paste in a ground beef and vegetable stirfry mixed with some left over rice.

It was a simple, unimpressive operation - Just bought some ground beef at Lidl as well as their frozen asian vegetable mix and cooked them up in our stainless steel pan along with the bit of leftover white rice that was hanging out in the fridge.

How To Use Gochujang Paste? Beef & Asian Vegetable Stirfy In-Progress

Added some generous squeezes of the Gochujang paste to the mix and tossed into a bowl. I actually didn't find it too spicy so I added a little extra swirl in my bowl.

I enjoyed this little Korean culinary diversion. I think it's really fun that Lidl brings such a wide range of internationally inspired products throughout the year. So even if you can't travel, you can always travel through food. ;)

You know when you go through your pantry and realize you have had something forever and need to use it up? Yeah... well, that's what happened with this Lidl cookie mix.

This post is part of a series: June 2025 Lidl Grocery Store Finds • Americans in Portugal

Belbake Rainbow Chocolate Cookies Baking Mix

In America baking aisles go on for almost an eternity with mixes for cakes, cookies, brownies, breads, and all manner of goodies. You have store brands, classics like Betty Crocker, premium baking mixes like Ghirardelli, speciality gluten free, allergen free cookie mixes and the list goes on..

In Portugal it's not quite like that and local pastelarias don't generally have great cookies. I grabbed this chocolate cookie mix with (knock off) m&ms for some day when I wanted cookies but didn't have the time to bother making them from scratch.

Rainbow Chocolate Cookie Baking Mix | Lidl Portugal

Based on most cookies I've had here, which are usually dry probably due to over baking combined with a lack of enough fat, my expectations were not super high and that's probably why it took me so long to make them.

The preparation and baking instructions are buried at the bottom of each language's ingredient list.

How to bake Belbake Rainbow Chocolate Cookies:

Simply add 30g of butter and 1.5 soup spoons of water (lol)
Bake for approximately 10 minutes at 180C or 160C for convention ovens.

The Best Baking Sheets

Belbake Rainbow Chocolate COokie Baking Mix Review:

From low expectations to elation, these cookies were actually delicious! If you're careful not to over bake them, you will have a delightfully fudgy, soft cookie with a gentle crisp where it rested against the baking sheet. The rainbow candy pieces will make you smile like a kid. :)

We ate these so fast that I didn't even take any more pictures and I had to declare them dangerous to have on hand at all times. :p

These are easy cookies to make and enjoy. If you see the mix at Lidl Portugal, go ahead and grab a bag!
