Aztec Gold Chia Seeds

*Aztec Gold Chia Seeds

Chis Seeds are one of my favorite foods!  Mostly because they are a super food and they are a great source of valuable nutrients and antioxidants for only a few calories.  Chia Seeds are the number one ingredient in almost all of the smoothies that I make and I love to add them my salads and hot cereal as well.
Chia Seeds can help you loose weight by reducing food cravings and by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system.  They can also help you feel full faster and longer because they can absorb 10 times their weight in water.
There is also evidence that it can help reduce high blood pressure and can also be beneficial for those with Diabetes because Chia Seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrates into simple sugars.  They also have higher levels of OMEGA-3 & 6 essential fatty acids than Flax Seeds and are easier to digest.

The Aztec Gold Chia Seeds are from Jalisco, Mexico which is the original and premier origin of Chia Seeds.  The Chia Seeds are grown in ideal conditions, high altitude, rich climate and red soil to create the best possible Chia Seeds.  They are also Certified Kosher.

Morning Pep Blanched Almond Flour

*Morning Pep Blanched Almond Flour

I will be honest I have never baked with Almond Flour before.  Mostly because my husband is allergic to all nuts so I have to be really careful about what the product comes in contact with.  However, I have been wanting to make a more "healthy" version of a chocolate chip cookie and I found this great recipe for Raw Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough on one of my favorite food blogs, Texanerin.com so I decided to make them!  I am so glad I did! They are delicious!  I'm sure this Almond Flour by MorningPep had something to do with it.  The quality of flour is excellent, it's made from 100% whole blanched almonds, it's light and fluffy and you can tell it is very fresh.  The MorningPep Blanched Almond Flour is low in carbohydrates and is a good source of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamin E.

I am constantly on the hunt for yummy but healthy nutrition bars that I can just throw in my purse and keep in my desk for those days when I don't have time to pack a lunch.  When I have a nutrition bars on hand I am far less likely to go out for lunch and make not-so-good choices.  I give in to peer pressure way to easy when it comes to going out for lunch...tell me I'm not alone!

Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer-Review

*Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer

I'll admit it as much as I like to make cocktails I've never used any kind of juicer/squeezer.  I usually just squeeze my Lemons and Limes by hand and thought that worked just fine.  Boy was I wrong!  After using this Professional Jumbo Lemon/Lime Squeezer by Bitpsy I now know what I have been missing out on.  

I recently used the Squeezer to make my Moscow Mules that I feature in a previous blog post and I was totally amazed at how well it worked.  I used fairly large limes and they fit perfectly in the Squeezer and I was able to get what seemed like every last drop of juice out of the lime!

The Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer is great quality and made from Stainless Steel so it won't rust or peel.  It's also super easy to clean, I just rinsed it off and threw it in my dishwasher!

I love this thing and cannot recommend it enough!

Go to Amazon.com for more information or to purchase one for yourself!  I also think it would make a great gift idea for any cocktail enthusiast!!

Spirulina, Acerola & Nutritional Yeast by Sari Foods-Review

*Spirulina, Acerola & Nutritional Yeast by Sari Foods

For the most part my family and I eat fairly healthy.  That doesn't mean that we don't indulge once in awhile but we like to eat as clean and organic as possible.  If you follow my blog then you also know that I use supplements when I feel like I am not getting the nutrition I need from my food or to help with weight management.  So naturally, I was pretty excited to try out these Superfoods that Sari Foods sent me!  They sent me their Nutritional Yeast, Spirulina Powder and their Vitamin C Powder.

I have already tried their Nutritional Yeast and I love it!  You can read my review on that here.
The Nutritional Yeast is now a staple at my house and I love putting it on my scrambled eggs, fish, potatoes and it's also really good on popcorn!  It kinda has a cheesy taste so anything you think cheese would be good on, just sprinkle a little of this on there!  Yummy!

I have been wanting to try their Organic Spirulina for awhile now so I had high hopes for it and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!  I love adding the Spirulina to my Green Smoothies, it has taken my smoothies to the next level.
The Spirulia is the most nutrient dense food known to humankind.  It contains more protein content than any other food source and is also the most planet-friendly source of protein!  The Organic Spirulina contains more than 60% protein and is a natural source of bioavailable iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotine, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9’s).  Spirulina has over 100 types of vitamins & nutrients - more than any other type of grain, plant, or herb - and they work together to perform miracles in the human body.   I know...it's AMAZING!  It truly is a SUPERFOOD!

I loved the Organic Vitamin C Powder as well!  It's made from Acerola Cherries and it's another great ingredient that I like to add to my smoothies.  I actually add the Vitamin C to all my smoothies, green and everything else!  It has a tart (of course) taste to it but you can't really taste it once it's blended in.  Tip: I've also used it to make a homemade mask for my face!
As we all know Vitamin C is really important to our immune system but it can also help us fight free radicals and promote cell regeneration.  Seriously great stuff!

I really love all 3 products!  They are all really great quality products and I highly recommend them!  Go to SariFoods.co for more information and you can also purchase on Amazon.com or by clicking on the links below...
