Nuzest products are 100% plant-based, vegan, and free of GMOs, gluten, and common allergens. 

My Thoughts:

Now more than ever it is so important to prioritize our health. If the pandemic taught me anything it was how much more focus I needed to put into what I was eating and how I was caring for my body. I started getting into nutrition throughout 2020 and began trying different protein bars and shakes to add more nutrients to my diet. When I heard of Nuzest I was extremely excited to get a care package of their Clean Lean Protein and Good Green Vitality Bars, as well as their drink mixes. The fact the company is plant-based and vegan made me very happy as someone who has a sensitivity to dairy. 

I have to say I was extremely impressed with everything I tried once the package arrived! It can be hard to find protein on the market that has a full flavor, isn't packed with sugars, and also has a smooth consistency. A lot of products I have tried had a bland taste and chalky texture, both in bar form and in drink mixes. The Nuzest bars were soft, chewy, and tasted delicious! The Peanut Butter & Chocolate fed my candy cravings and gave me a boost of energy. The Vanilla & Almond and Coconut & Lemon flavors I enjoyed with breakfast! During lunch, I added in the Good Green Vitality Bar for a mid day pick me up. Getting more greens in my diet is one of my goals this year, and that bar was a great way to do it! Like the Clean Lean Protein Bars, it also had a soft and chewy texture with a sweet flavor that tasted very hearty and earthy. I really enjoyed it! 

The Clean Lean Protein drink mixes were also very enjoyable! I used my handheld blender to make them before starting work at home. It was a nice addition to my daily nutrition. My favorite flavor was the Rich Chocolate, but the Smooth Vanilla and Real Coffee also didn't disappoint. I added cashew milk to mine. The consistency wasn't too thick but wasn't overly thin either. It had some body to it and I liked how much flavor each one had. They blended very easily too and weren't at all chalky. If you don't have a blender, a shaker cup would work just as well for these too! 

If you're looking to add healthier options to your daily nutrition, I highly recommend trying Nuzest!

HAPPY LITTLE PLANTS™ Protein Puffs

Protein is an important part of our diet, but most of us don't get as much as we need. Plant-based foods are a great way to meet your daily requirements of protein without eating a lot of meat. Of course, if you have children, just saying the word plant may send them running because they're afraid your trying to give them vegetables. Luckily, Happy Little Plants Protein Puffs from Hormel are packed with protein but also taste so great,  your kids won't know they're a healthier alternative. 

My children were excited to find some Happy Little Plants Protein Puffs in their stockings this Christmas. These delicious snacks come in three tasty flavors including Nacho Cheese, Cinnamon and Sugar, and Ranch. Each of these little snack packs is exploding with flavor. Whether you are looking for something salty or sweet, they have you covered with a filling snack that the entire family will enjoy. They are perfect for school lunches or to enjoy while you're watching a film on family movie night.

In addition to tasting amazing, Happy Little Plants plant-based protein puffs provide 16 grams of plant-based protein in every serving, contain no preservatives, and they are gluten-free. If you'd like to try Happy Little Plants Plant-Based protein puffs for yourself, you can find them in stores nationwide or order a variety pack on Amazon. To learn more about this fabulous product, be sure to visit the Happy Little Plants website.

Grab and go snacks that are truly Elemental.

30% of all children suffer from food allergies which mean they cannot eat at least one of the foods from “The Big 8”, including milk, eggs, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, soybeans, fish and shellfish. One in thirteen children suffer from food allergies, meaning that one in thirteen mothers have the daily struggle identifying what to feed their child that is both nutritious and delicious. This is where Elemental Superfood Crumble come in!

Food is an elemental necessity of life, but some children (and mothers) are forced to struggle everyday to find food that is safe, edible, and enjoyable; foods that will delight even the youngest of palates. Ms. Nicole Anderson, whose own daughter suffers from food allergies, explains that “children need to get nutrients every day, which means that many parents must get creative in the meals they prepare. That is why I created four different Superfood Crumbles; now every meal can include some safe and nutritious Superfood Crumble.”

Imagine serving your child a healthy meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, by topping off every meal with an un-processed, organic and gluten-free ingredient treat. Elemental Superfood Crumble is a perfect match for gluten-free pancakes, dairy-free yogurt parfait or smoothie bowl, savory salad, on apples with almond butter, or just a handful of a simple snack on-the-go. It tastes great and is rich in plant-based protein, fiber and omega-3s and omega-6s.

It is great for all moms who need a boost of energy for themselves, and a nutritious, allergen-free addition to their children’s meals. Elemental Superfood Crumble comes in 4 delicious flavors and contain only real, healthy ingredients that are rich in superfoods. Each bag is certified Non-GMO, Raw, Gluten-Free and is made in the USA.

The four flavors of Superfood Crumble include:

Cranberry, Almond + Lucuma Crumble, which features:

• Organic Cranberries, which contain vitamin C, bioflavonoids, ellagic acid and fiber. 
• Organic Lucuma, which contains vitamin B3 as well as other vitamins and minerals, fiber, beta-carotene, niacin, iron, calcium and phosphorus.
• Organic Almonds, which contain vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, & zinc.

Currant, Cacao + Hemp Seed Crumble, which features:

• Organic Currants, which contain Vitamins A, B5, B9, B6, B1, B2, B3, C, E, H and K as well as Potassium and Gamma Linoleic Acid.
• Raw Cacao, which contains magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and C.

Dark Chocolate + Peanut Butter Crumble, which features:

• Organic Dark Chocolate - Stimulates endorphin production & contains serotonin. Rich in flavonoids which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals.

 Mulberry, Cacao + Spirulina Crumble, which features:

• Mulberries, which contain vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin K & iron. They are also a great source of dietary fiber, riboflavin, phosphorus, magnesium & potassium.
• Raw Cacao, which contains magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and C.
• Organic Spirulina, which contains protein and is a potent source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Anderson offers a truly elemental solution to the problems that both parents and children face every day, with her simple, nutritious, allergy-free solution to the struggles of avoiding “The Big 8”.

My Thoughts: 

This year I've been all about eating healthier. I decided to take a nutrition class and educate myself on the best foods for my body. One of the most talked about topics lately is, Superfoods. You hear about it all the time! Even at the hotel my family and I stayed at on vacation this summer, they had a section on the menu dedicated to Superfood recipes. When I discovered Elemental Superfood Crumbles it was very exciting! I could not wait to try them.

I tried three of the four flavors and they were extremely unique. Each one was wonderful, chewy, and filled with nutrients. I enjoyed putting my Crumbles on yogurt, in smoothies, and just as a snack. It was great that in the bag, there were all sizes, so some were perfect for topping off a dish or enjoying as if it was a bar.

My favorite was by far the Dark Chocolate + Peanut Butter. I'm a huge fan of dark chocolate and peanut butter in general, so together these made a fantastic treat together. It reminded me of a healthy cookie. Who doesn't love that?

The Cranberry, Almond, + Lucuma made me nostalgic for the holiday season. I adore eating cranberry goodies during the holiday season, and the mixture of the almond addition made it even better. Wonderful!

Lastly, the Mulberry, Cacoa, + Spirulina was a fantastic earthy flavor. Cacoa is one of my favorite additions to my smoothies. It has amazing benefits for health and it tastes great when mixed with other flavors.

If you are looking for a treat or addition to your foods that is gluten and dairy free, raw, and is filled with omegas and other amazing nutrients, choose Elemental Superfood Crumbles.

From The Ground Up- Lunch Box Essentials.

From The Ground Up is an award-winning line of delicious cauliflower-based crackers and pretzels that have a serving of veggies in each 1oz. snack serving!  The snacks are Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten Free Certified and made with vegan ingredients.  From The Ground Up snacks are a fun and tasty way to sneak in some nutrition at snack time.  From The Ground Up made its retail launch a few months ago – just in-time for back-to-school – and has been a big hit.

Consumers were asking for a veggie-based snack that actually had increased nutritional value, so the brand team began looking at the vitamin and fiber rich Cauliflower since it’s so versatile and seemed to really be resonating with people.  The products taste as delicious as the mainstream versions and have all the characteristics that a better-for-you customer is looking for.  The snacks are also in-line with the biggest food trends to-date i.e. gluten-free, vegan ingredients and…cauliflower of course!

From The Ground Up Crackers come in three flavors, including Sea Salt, Cheddar and Nacho; and the Pretzels come in Original flavor in Sticks and Twists shapes.

My Thoughts:

Even as a little girl, one of my favorite vegetables was cauliflower. It was a wonderful, filling treat that was packed with nutrients. Knowing that From The Ground Up had cauliflower snacks, I could not wait to try them! The packing was adorable, and included Marigolds to plant. 

I tried the Original Pretzel Sticks, as well as the Cheddar Cheese Crackers. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect taste wise, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pretzels had a traditional texture with a crunch and yummy taste. It was a nice mixture of both cauliflower flavor and pretzel. The crackers were my favorite by far though! I mean, who doesn't love cheese? They had flakey crisp, and a cheesy flavor with a hint of salt. It was fantastic! Plus, both snacks are gluten free, non-gmo and made with vegan ingredients. Safe for all!

If you are looking for a healthy substitute to your snacks consider, From The Ground Up! I'd highly recommend them.

Crispy Green, the #1 Freeze-Dried Fruit Snack Brand, Gets Spectacular New Makeover!

CRISPY GREEN’S EYE-POPPING, NEW LOOK

The leading freeze-dried fruit snack in the nation just got a new look, designed to get your attention and better reflect its wholesome, single ingredient – 100% fruit!  The bold brand color palette and added “focus on fruit” was a collaborative design effort by Crispy Green’s brand and packaging design firms, Fastlane Communications, LLC and Foerstel Design, LLC.

The brand makeover includes a new logo, logo icon, typography and photography treatments, primary and secondary color palette and supporting messaging platform to support its active, healthy lifestyle positioning.

Angela Liu, Founder and CEO of Crispy Green stated, “As Crispy Green continues to lead in the freeze-dried fruit category, the timing was perfect for a brand upgrade.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the results of this major collaborative effort and are very eager to unveil it to the public!”

The new brand launch also includes a completely redesigned website (www.crispygreen.com). Consumers will now be able to zero in on the information they seek – quickly and easily. For example, they’ll be able to find a store in their area that sells Crispy Fruit and instantly discover which items are in stock through the state-of-the-art store locator.

Crispy Green’s new packaging will be rolling out in stores throughout June and beyond as it replenishes orders in over 5000 retail stores that currently carry Crispy Green today.

The new branded “healthy living line-up” better reflects the product quality, taste and healthy energy vibe that has made the Crispy Green brand the #1 freeze-dried fruit snack in the U.S., according to six-month Nielsen data, ending 12/31/17.

To further amplify its brand evolution, Crispy Green continues to grow its targeted advertising, mobile and digital content marketing programs as well as its brand ambassador and influencer relationships, which are further enhanced through the company’s robust social media activities. This includes continual development and promotion of its consumer food trend, thought leadership and healthy lifestyle website, Smart Lifebites, which provides fun, nutrition and fitness tips, along with yummy recipes and other small “bites” of information viewers can use to make healthier choices.

All Crispy Fruit snacks are available in convenient, single-serving “grab & go” bags (MSRP: $1.49 each) or a “family” six-pack that includes six, single-serving bags (MSRP: $7.99). Each bag provides approximately one serving of fruit and 55 calories or less per bag. For more on Crispy Fruit and nutritional labeling information, visit www.crispygreen.com/products/apple.

 About Crispy Green, Inc.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Fairfield, NJ, Crispy Green, Inc. is the number one freeze-dried fruit snack in the U.S., according to the latest Nielsen research, ending 12/31/17. The company’s category-leading Crispy Fruit line of 100% pure, freeze-dried fruit is made from only the finest, non-GMO fruits available with no sugar added (*not a reduced calorie food).

Crispy Green’s Crispy Fruit can be found in many major grocery retailers nationwide as well as through Amazon. Crispy Green is a delicious, convenient way to add more fruit to your daily diet.

My Thoughts:

With summer here I'm always looking for healthy snacks. In my area all the shops and restaurants are booming with greasy and sugary foods and desserts. It makes it more difficult to avoid temptation. Crispy Green makes it easy to ensure my fruit intake is consistent. I can enjoy these on the go, at home, or while working.

Pictured is some of my favorites from the line. Apple, banana, pear, and tangerine. The flavor was the most surprising. I wasn't expecting for it to be as flavorful as they were but it tasted perfectly pure! The best part was the nice crisp bite. Nothing was too hard like other dried fruit I've tried in the past. These tasted completely natural and normal as if I was eating a fruit from the health food store.

If you're looking for a fun and easy way to get your fruit in I'd highly recommend Crispy Greens line of snacks! The only critique I have is that I wish the bag had a ziplock top. Other than that,  I absolutely adored them and am looking forward to keeping these in my routine.

Get Nutty: It’s Peanut Butter Lovers Month!

It’s November, and you know what that means, it’s time to get a little nutty and celebrate National Peanut Butter Lovers Month! What better way to ring in the most wonderful time of the year than with one of America’s most beloved foods, and one that 94 percent of American households consume?

So spread it on thick and enjoy peanut butter the best way you know how – with Justin’s! We’ve shared a few of the brand’s must-try and most loved peanut products that we know you and your readers will enjoy:

• Justin’s Peanut Butter + Banana Chip Snack Packs: Celebrate anytime, anywhere with the latest innovation from Justin’s – just dip, bite and enjoy! 

• Justin’s Organic Peanut Butter Cups: Available in white, milk and dark chocolate (and in easy to love minis!) you can’t go wrong with this classic flavor combination.

• Justin’s Classic Peanut Butter: For a snack, on a sandwich, or by the spoonful, there are so many ways to love this lip smacking favorite, so pop open a jar and enjoy! You deserve it.

My Thoughts:

Justin's is one of my favorite brands when it comes to nut butters. I've loved peanut butter all my life, and finding a company that makes natural and organic products and snacks was wonderful! Justin's was kind enough to send a few of their most popular products. Now that it is, National Peanut Butter Butter Lovers Month, I hope this post can provide everyone with ideas for fun ways to enjoy the celebration!

The first couple of products I tried were the Justin's Peanut Butter and Banana Chip Snack Packs. They are available in classic peanut butter, as well as honey. What I noticed right away was that the peanut butter was nice and thick in both of them. I took a spoon out to mix it since the thickness was breaking the chips. Which in reality, is a good thing. To me, the thicker the peanut butter the yummier it is! Once mixed, it was easier to get the product on the banana chips. My favorite was the classic variety peanut butter. However, if you like a sweet kick with your snack, the honey flavored is for you! The banana chips had a good crunch and sweetness to them in both packs I tried.  

One treat I cannot get enough of are, Justin's Peanut Butter cups! Look at all that peanut butter goodness stuffed into them in my picture. Honestly, you must try one! You will question why you didn't have one sooner. Lol. Justin's makes these in milk, dark, and white chocolate. No matter what you like, Justin's has you covered. I adored all the flavors. Each cup is filled with thick peanut butter. The chocolate was creamy and luscious with every bite. They are also awesome cold. Put a pack of these in the fridge, get some ice cream, and you have a sundae in the works. Another great treat? Each peanut butter cup has a coupon inside the wrapper!    

So, want to celebrate, National Peanut Butter Lovers Month, the right way? I highly recommend Justin's array of products! One bite and your taste buds will thank you.

Jell-O Simply Good: New Product Launches with #DelightfullyHonest Campaign!

Jell-O has officially introduced a new product line to the family: Jell-O Simply Good! Inspired by kids and their unfiltered honesty, new Jell-O Simply Good pudding mixes are made with real ingredients like banana, cocoa and vanilla bean. The new gelatin mixes are flavored with real fruit juices. New Jell-O Simply Good contains no artificial flavors, dyes or preservatives. Since kids inspired Jell-O Simply Good, the brand invited them to try the new product and their candid, unscripted reactions are the basis for the Jell-O Simply Good campaign. Dubbed ‘Delightfully Honest’, the campaign features video of real kids providing unfiltered, surprising and sometimes hilarious reactions to a variety of topics including their impression of Jell-O Simply Good.

My Thoughts:

Jell-O is a classic treat enjoyed by all generations. Whether it be their puddings or fruity gelatin, it is something that can bring a whole family together for a good time. I was excited to try out the new line of Simpy Good products. Hearing that they were now made with natural ingredients was something I was curious about in terms of flavor and consistency. When the products arrived the first thing I noticed was the adorable new packaging. I then read how to make each and saw that it was surprisingly simple, no pun intended, just like the traditional recipes. 

I decided while boiling the water to make the gelatin, I would begin a couple flavors of pudding. I started with two of my families favorite flavors, Banana and Vanilla Bean. The recipe called for 2 cups of cold 2% milk which was to be whisked for 2 minutes. It stated that any non-dairy alternative would not set. After whisking the mix and milk, you allow the pudding to set for 5 minutes. Make sure to refrigerate the leftovers.  

The pudding was about done by the time the water had been brought to a boil. I grabbed a bag of Simply Good Strawberry and poured 1 cup of boiling water into a measuring cup. Afterwards, I followed the recipe and mixed the gelatin contents into the water, whisking for about 2 minutes until all of it was dissolved. Afterwards, it instructs to add 1 cup of cold water, then refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. 

Overall, I was very impressed with the Jell-O Simply Good line! Everything was very delicious that I tried. I noticed that the flavor of the puddings were much more rich after letting them set in the fridge for a few hours, getting cold. They were good once made, but I got maximum flavor after allowing them to sit. The Vanilla Bean even had little pieces of black specks you could see. I did wish that one was a bit more sweet since it was made from cane sugar. However, I adored the Banana! All you need is a few vanilla wafer cookies and you will have the ultimate dessert! Each pudding was rich and creamy. The gelatin was ready at about 4 hours like the instructions suggested. It was very flavorful, soft and thick! You could taste the natural fruit juice which made it such a treat. I was pleased it still had the consistency of the traditional Jell-O gelatin. My family loved it! 

I would highly recommend this line for any parents and families looking for a wholesome, yummy dessert that can be enjoyed by everyone.

My Thoughts:

Thrive is a delicious way to enjoy the fuel your body needs on the go. As a working college student, I do not always have the time to make a nutritious meal or snack. That is why I am so grateful to GoMacro for creating a healthy alternative that packs all the goodness needed to keep your body balanced and happy. It is hard to find good, wholesome health food on the market now that is not packed with added sugars or fats.

There are a variety of flavors that Thrive provides such as Almond Apricot (pictured above), Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry Lavender, Caramel Coconut, Chocolate, Nuts and Sea Salt, as well as Ginger Lemon. Each were soft, chewy, packed with flavor and they had just enough crunch from the seed blend. Some like Caramel Coconut had nuts such as cashews and almonds. Each bar gave me a nice full feeling and a boost of energy after eating them. Knowing that all of the bars were made from real ingredients made it even more enjoyable. As a chocolate lover as well, it is always nice to know I can get my sweet fix without the guilt from the flavors like Chocolate, Nuts and Sea Salt, as well as Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip. Each flavor was a unique and tasty blend that always hit the spot!

If you are someone looking for a healthy treat on the go that is rich in flavor and still just as nutritious, I would highly recommend Thrive by GoMacro!
