Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
There's something that I really can't stand and it's America's addiction with protein bars. As far back as I can remember, I've seen people crabbing Clif and Luna bars for meals and have never really understood why. I, myself, used to be in a love affair with Clif's Builder Bars when I was a small tween. That cookies and cream flavor... HELLOOOO delicious! I remember we had a drawer in my kitchen ...
Instead of doing one product in specific that I love, I want to do a post on three products I tried within the past week that I bought at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods that I was SO pleased with. I highly recommend these and they're relatively cheap (always a perk)! If that doesn't get you to go buy it, trust me when I say they taste way too good not to buy.

We can all agree that making pasta is pretty much one of the easiest meals to whip up. I find it pretty funny when college students post pictures in their dorms of ...
I haven't posted in what feels like forever due to my busy schedule and with recently getting hired at Chicago Raw (which I'm so excited about) but I'm back! This past week I received a huge box from my mailroom filled with wonderful goodies from Vega. Vega is a company founded by Brendan Brazier who wanted to create a plant-based protein shake that was not only good for the body but also adapted ...
There are few things I love more than snacks. When easy snacks like chips and popcorn are created in a healthy fashion with recognizable ingredients, I have to try them. As I stroll through the snack aisle at Whole Foods, I tend to lean more towards popcorns than chips. Most of the popcorn on the shelves these days contains just basic sunflower/safflower oil, popcorn and salt. No more and no less ...
