Funky Monkey Freeze-Dried Organic Fruit

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Funky Monkey Freeze-Dried Organic Fruit Mixes are my new favorite snack to keep in my desk at work.

There are four flavors and they’re all my favorite:

Bananamon: Freeze-dried organic banana and organic cinnamon

Carnaval Mix: Freeze-dried organic banana, organic pineapple, apple, papaya and raisins

Jivealime: Freeze-dried organic pineapple and organic lime juice

Purple Funk: Freeze-dried organic banana and organic acai

Each of these flavors comes in cute little pouches of 110-120 calories.  Extremely flavorful and each variety tastes distinct from the others, yet equally delicious!  I appreciate their simple, wholesome ingredients, and the fact that they use no added colors or sugars, artificial flavors, or preservatives.

I’ve found that Funkey Monkey is a nutritious snack when that late afternoon hunger (er.. boredom) kicks in.

Re-Zenergized About Zenergize

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I wasn’t so energized about Zenergize at first, but thanks to a shipment from the company, I was able to try four additional flavors, all of which were… re-Zenergizing! (Ie, tastier than the orange flavor.)

Acai + Pomegranate Super-v, Lemon Lime Hydrate, Raspberry + Green Tea Burn, and Peach + Green Tea Burn are all pretty good.  Just be sure to let the tablet completely dissolve before you take a sip!  The Acai + Pomegranate is my favorite: the flavor has just a hint of tartness, and the purple color is lovely.

I laughed when I saw the “burn” flavors advertising weight loss.  I’m not interested in that myself, but it seems to be a recurring theme now that I am engaged.  As soon as my relationship status on Facebook changed to “engaged,” I noticed that most of the advertisements on the sidebar of Facebook are now geared toward “wedding weightloss,” “diet for the big day,” etc.  And much of the wedding planning process assumes that all women of course would want to lose weight: Bridal Bootcamp, Get Hot Before the Honeymoon.  I’m not even making these up!  I’m sure men, however fat, aren’t preyed on in this way by advertisers and vendors.  Kind of a depressing state of the union (pardon the pun).
