Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder by Zahler

*Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder by Zahler

To maintain my weight I try and replace some of my meals with a healthy smoothie.  Depending on the day and what I am in the mood for it may be a green smoothie or if I am feeling like I need some extra protein (which is more often than not) I like to choose a healthy protein powder.  My go to flavor is Vanilla since you can pair it with just about anything.
This Vanilla Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder by Zahler is the perfect choice for a protein powder.  First of all...it smells amazing!  As soon as you open it you immediately get hit with the yummy smell of Vanilla!  Not only does it smell amazing it tastes amazing too!  Besides being a great source of protein with 25 grams per serving it's also packed with nine essential amino acids.

The Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder by Zahler helps provide much needed energy, helps curb my appetite and not only builds muscle but repairs it as well.
If you have a sweet tooth like me here is my favorite recipe for when I get a craving for that something sweet...

Chocolate Vanilla Banana Smoothie
1 cup Rice Milk or Almond/Coconut Blend Milk (Organic if possible)
1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder by Zahler
1 tbsp Organic Ultra Dark Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Bean Powder
1 tbsp Wild Friends Organic Honey Sunflower Butter (You can sub. Almond Butter or Peanut Butter if there are no nut allergies like there is at my house)
1 very ripe Organic Banana
1 cup Ice.
Blend well and add water to thin out if needed.  It's super delicious, satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps me feeling full for hours.  It's a Win, Win!

Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea

*Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea

Mmmmm....Tea! I love Tea. There is nothing better than a warm cup of delicious Tea on a crisp fall morning. Being a huge Tea fan I have tried tons of teas. All kinds of flavors, black, green, white just about every type you can imagine. However, I have never had Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea! I have Teas similar in flavor but not Singbulli Darjeeling Tea.

This Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea originates from the Darjeeling estate in India and is located at an altitude ranging from 400 to 1350 meters and is spread beautifully across nine hills.  Singbulli manufactures some of the best Darjeeling teas.  It's most similar to a typical black tea but you can taste hints of fruit & Vanilla so I find it a little sweeter than a normal black tea.  For me, the Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea makes the perfect cup of morning tea!  It can help boosts immune system which makes Fall the perfect time of year to drink this kind of tea.  It can also help with digestion issues, purifies blood, helps lowers sugar and cholesterol levels, it can also help strengthen bones and can even prevent tooth decay among other things.

If you are a tea lover like me and you haven't tried Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea then you simply must get your hands on some!  Check out goldentipstea.com or you can also pick it up on Amazon.com...

Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring

*Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring

I am crazy for Matcha!  Once you get a taste of Organic Ceremonial Matcha like this one from Midori Spring you can never really go back to regular Green Tea!  

The flavor that you get from this Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring is very distinct and intense.  It's very smooth and almost has sweet taste to it.  Since the quality of this Matcha is so good it also makes it perfect to use in baking.  Personally, my favorite way to use Matcha Green Tea is to add it to my green smoothies since it's packed full of antioxidants and helps detoxify my system.  A good Match like this one can also help relieve stress, increase energy, help your body burn calories, boost your immune system and can even help improve your Cholesterol levels.

Ingesting Matcha really is one of the best things your can do for yourself!  It's a Superfood and it does a body good!

The key is picking out a really good quality Matcha like this one from Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring.  This tea is from the top Organic tea plantations in Japan – specifically Aichi and Kagoshima. With these two regions combined, their Matcha is from the largest producer of powdered green tea in Japan and hails from a thriving diverse environment for agriculture.  In addition, their production methods adhere to strict Organic and Kosher regulations.  Their tea gardens are designed to provide shaded sunlight to produce premium Matcha and when it is time to harvest, they carefully select the tea leaves to be grinded.  The darker leaves contain more chlorophyll and significantly tastes sweeter and smooth.  They also do not use 2nd Flush (2nd Harvest) leaves, as the taste will be typically more astringent.  As a result, all you get is premium quality Matcha.

Elderberry Extract by Norm's Farms

*Elderberry Extract by Norm's Farms 

If you are an avid follower of my blog, GlamRiver then you already know that I am really big on supplements.  I despise prescriptions unless absolutely necessary and I think almost every condition can be treated and in some cases cured by what you consume.  Changing your diet and taking supplements is a much better and healthier way to go than taking a bunch of prescriptions!

For all the supplements I have tried I have never tried Elderberry Extract.  Elderberry Extract is full of antioxidants and is great for boosting your immune system and can even help with allergies (which I have)!  I don't know if all Elderberry Extract is tastes as good as this one from Norm's Farms but this stuff is delicious!  I just usually take it straight just because it's that good.  It has a soft sweet taste and it does not have any added alcohol, sugars or other artificial sweeteners.

However, I don't know if this defeats the purpose but I have to confess, I actually used this Elderberry Extract to make a super yummy Elderberry Martini!  I just wanted to share in case you wanted to enjoy one yourself! Your welcome!

You can find this Elderberry Extract at Normsfarms.com and of course you can also pick it up on Amazon.com...

Good Mood Tea from Culinary Teas

*Good Mood Tea from Culinary Teas

I have a slight obsession with Tea.  I guess there are worse things to have, right?  That being said I am pretty picky about my Tea.  Nothing but the best for me!

This Good Mood Tea from Culinary Teas is super delish!  Like the name says, it really does seem to put you in a good mood.  Tea does all kinds of amazing things for your body and mind depending on what kind of blend you drink and of course it helps when that tea is comprised of quality ingredients.

I am not sure if it's the hint of dark chocolate from the organic cacao nibs that helps put you in a Good Mood but whatever it is, I love it!  It tastes great AND puts a smile on my face!

Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers

*Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers

Do you have a bridal shower or bachelorette party coming up that you trying to find the perfect gift for?  I think these Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers by Top It Off are a great option!  I have been loving these, not only because I think the sayings on them are cute & witty but just for the simple functionality of them.  It's nice to be able to put a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and not have to worry about a bulky wine stopper getting in the way.  Plus, they are also leak proof!  I was a bit skeptical but I can assure you I tested it out for myself.  I have a little wine refrigerator and obviously the wine bottles lay on their side in a wine refrigerator so I placed one of the Wine Stoppers on a bottle of opened wine and stuck it in my wine refrigerator and Voilà!  No leakage...nothing!  They produce an airtight and leak proof seal and also help prevent oxidation.  Awesome!

Like I said, I think these make a really great gift idea, especially for someone who is into wine!  They are Eco Friendly 100% food grade Silicone, dishwasher safe and reusable.  The Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers fits standard wine, beer, champagne, and soda bottles including some larger styles.

Go to Amazon.com to pick up these cool stoppers for a gift and grab some for yourself too!  I promise you will love them as much as I do!
