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 ...
Products I Love: Kale Chips, Suja Juice and Jaali Bean Lentils & Rice
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. The first product is Trader Joe's ...
Products I Love: Rawxies
October is officially here! This means I am setting a goal for myself. That is to get cracking on a ton of new and awesome products that I absolutely love. I want to review some of the best products for you guys and share with you all of the wonderful creations out there that you may not know about. You may think you've heard of most healthy nut and food bars but I'm sure all you really know ...
Brown Rice Fusilli with Field Roast Sausage
If you're a vegetarian or vegan... even if you aren't... you will have to try this recipe. If you're an Italian food lover, go buy some Field Roast Italian sausages after you read this post and make this dish. You won't regret it. 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 ...
Products I Love: Vega
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 ...
Products I Love: Lesser Evil Snacks
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 ...
