Product Review: MadeGood Snacks
Looking for good snacks that fit my diet is a hard task sometimes. So many snacks are filled with GMOs, Soy, or dairy. That's why I am always on the hunt for something that will fit my diet and let me have something on the go.
MadeGood snacks are vegan, organic, and also free of many common allergens, including Soy. The brand has several different varities available, perfect for different tastes. They have Vanilla Crispy Squares, Chocolate Chip Crispy Squares, Mixed Berry Granola Bars, and Chocolate Chip Granola Bars.
My personal favorites of the bunch were the Chocolate Chip Crispy Squares. The chocolate flavor is obvious, yet subtle enough to not be overpowering. It's a real comfort food type of snack, as it reminds me of an old favorite treat. They're (along with the Vanilla Squares) are the bulkier of the bunch, which makes for a satisfying snack.
The Granola Bars were quite a bit smaller than the squares, yet still good for a pick-me-up when one needs a mid-afternoon jumpstart. They're also chewier than the squares, so they're a good choice for people who prefer something that is softer and melts in your mouth. The mixed berry also includes great mix of vegetable extracts alongside the berries.
I'd recommend them, for sure, and not just for kids' lunch boxes. Check the MadeGood website to learn more about them, their mission, and the other varieties available. If one buys all four of these varieties, they can also enjoy $10 off a Mabel's Labels personalized school label pack.

They include a Gel, Rinse and Mist. The Oral Care Gel relieves the pain caused by dry sockets, Dry Mouth, and ulcers. The rinse eases the symptoms of Dry Mouth by providing lasting hydration and promotes healthy gums. The Oral Care Mist can be used for everyday hydration for Dry Mouth. It freshens breath and moisturizes for hours at a time.
In addition to working great for pain reduction before and after tooth removal, I also found that STELLALIFE Intelligent Healing products were great for Dry Mouth. This condition can lead to bleeding gums, and even tooth decay. I have been dealing with this annoying condition for over a year now, and nothing I tried has helped. After using the Vega Oral Care Rinse and Hydration Mist for about a week, I have noticed my mouth is not nearly as dry. Plus, the rinse and mist freshens my breath better than the mouthwash I was using before! My daughter has been using them too, and has noticed a marked reduction in the pain in her sore wisdom tooth. She will continue to use them after her wisdom teeth are removed to aid in the healing process.
Whether you're suffering from oral pain or dry mouth, these are products you should have in your medicine cabinet. In addition to providing great results, STELLALIFE Intelligent Healing products are homeopathic, vegan-friendly, organic, sugar free, gluten-free, non-toxic, and non-GMO.

Thrive GoMacro's New Line of Plant-Based Bars #GoMacro. @GoMacro #Giveaway
Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods in October 2016.
Use code Thrive30 for 30% off of their purchase for Thrive at GoMacro's online store: http://gomacro.com/shop/product-category/thrive/.
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. With Thrive, you can enjoy your food in confidence that it is organic, kosher, gluten free and vegan. It is also only 200 calories while still providing the proteins our body needs from plants on a daily basis.
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!

Review: Dandies Marshmallows
Traditional marshmallows are loaded with unnatural ingredients and made with gelatin (a yucky animal-based ingredient, look it up). We recognized that these family-favorite treats desperately needed an ingredient-list makeover!
Dandies Marshmallows are indistinguishable from conventional marshmallows. Our light and fluffy marshies are perfect for roasting over a campfire, putting in hot chocolate (or coffee—try it!), classic crispy treats, s'mores, or just straight snackin'!
- Made with all natural ingredients
- Gelatin free (100% vegan)
- Free from most common allergens (peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, wheat, fish, shellfish, corn)
- Gluten free
- Contains no corn syrup
- Made in a dedicated vegan facility
Within a year, we were putting all the pieces together in our processing plant, working tirelessly toward a product launch at Natural Products Expo West. Before we had sold even a single bag to stores, we set up our booth and hoped to sell a few cases. By the show’s end, Dandies had been placed in nearly every Whole Foods in the country!
Over time, we've been quietly evolving Dandies Marshmallows, making them better and better. We’ve also been working hard to make Dandies available in more and more stores, so everyone can enjoy the comfort food of our youth in a friendlier and more natural way. We're so proud of the work we've done and love nothing more than seeing you enjoy Dandies and share them with your friends and family.
Purchase Dandies Marshmallows online using their store locator, and visit them on social media:

Our Thoughts
I freaking LOVE Dandies Marshmallows. Since I follow the paleo way of eating, I am not exactly a vegan and not adverse to gelatin (quite the contrary!) but I AM adverse to the other ingredients in traditional marshmallows and figured they were off my eating list forever. I first came across Dandies Marshmallows in a natural foods store a little over an hour away from me. I don't keep treats around too much, but if I do have a bag, mostly I snack on them. Someday, I'll actually have a bag not completely eaten when we have an impromptu campfire. I can't wait to try them out for that. Although, I have been known to roast the occasional marshmallow over the flame on my gas stove burners, haha. Oh YUM.
So when Dandies sent me their regular marshies and their mini marshies for review, I'm not gonna lie, I ate one bag straight away. They aren't kidding when they say they're great for snacking. I couldn't even stop myself, they are SO DARN TASTY!! I took the bag of minis up to our cabin with us and enjoyed them over a spiced latte. Perfect on a cool day looking out at the scenic lake. Love.
For the latte recipe, I used Bengal Spice tea from Celestial Seasonings, a little unsweetened full fat coconut milk, a wee bit of raw honey, and topped it with the Dandies Mini Marshmallows. Unbelievably delicious!! Who wants to stand in line and spend money on fancy lattes when you can very quickly and easily make your own?
I also used the minis to make some little appetizers perfect for holidays or any gathering.
The basics of this recipe are 1 part marshmallows to 2 parts "stuff" (dry goods), plus a little oil to help prevent the marshies from sticking to the pan when melted. For the record, 10 regular sized marshmallows makes for 1 cup. For the "stuff" mixture, I used a combination of almond slices, pecans, raw pepitas, roasted unsalted sunflower seeds, dried cherries, sweetened dried cranberries, some mini chocolate chips, a wee bit of salt and vanilla flavoring. While the marshmallows were melting with the oil over extremely low heat, I pulsed the dry goods "stuff" through a food processer to make the bits smaller. When the marshies were thoroughly melted, I stirred in as much "stuff" as I could, then kneaded in the rest; patting it into a lightly greased 8x8 baking dish. Let cool, then slice and eat!
The result? Fantastic! Although I think I need to either cut back a little on the dry goods, or add a couple more marshmallows as it falls apart a little quicker than I'd like. Certainly a recipe I wrote down for next time!
One thing I'd like to note: Dandies claims their marshmallows are indistinguishable from traditional marshmallows. I beg to differ - they are BETTER. Fluffier, and absolutely delectable. Thank you, Dandies, for making a comfort food healthier. HIGHLY recommend!!

Cocomels - A Melt in Your Mouth Treat
I love caramel It's a big weakness for me. Of course my kids like it too. We can never have too much of it in the house. Because I love all-natural and vegan food, I'm always on the look out for tasty treats that I can find in organic form. Recently, I came across Cocomels. They make all types of delicious caramel treats in a variety of flavors, many of which are also coated with chocolate. They are really unique because they're made with coconut milk.
I received a a few bags of the Cocomels to try out and I'm in love. They come in nice packaging and are filled to the brim with mouthwatering goodness. The varieties I sampled are espresso, vanilla, and sea salt. All of them are chewy morsels that melt in your mouth. I really enjoyed the sea salt. That little bit of saltiness keeps them from being overwhelmingly sweet, making it easy to enjoy them by the handful. Of course, anything with espresso holds a special place in my heart as well. The bite size portions are just right to pop into your mouth, and the fact that they are individually wrapped means you can take them on the go.
In addition to tasting great, these delicious treats are vegan friendly, gluten free, and made with organic ingredients. If you'd like to learn more about Cocomels and all they have to offer, be sure to visit their website or follow them on social media.
