Organic Date Syrup is for Everyone

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Organics are for Everyone

Organics are for Everyone’s Date Syrup is a delicious syrup made from dates.  Organic dates and…. nothing else.

How is it so smooth and luxurious and sweetly complex?  Truly, it’s nature’s candy.

Better than candy, it also nutritious with all of the vitamins and minerals of dates.

Here are my top 3 uses:

1. Drizzled over plain yogurt or plain greek yogurt.

2. Poured over pancakes with sliced almonds and shredded coconut.

3. Whipped with tahini (sesame seed paste) and spread over rye (or other whole grain) bread.

Check it out, buy some, no regrets.  Organic date syrup is for everyone!

My first jar was free but now I will be a loyal, paying customer.  Thanks for spreading the gospel.

Living Fuel Antioxidant Powders and Bars

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

living fuel superberry ultimate powder

Living Fuel makes a line of products that have a crazy amount of nutritious things in them.

Living Fuel products contain the most potent, bioavailable, and highest quality nutritional ingredients including freeze-dried organic fruits and vegetables that are rich, natural sources of antioxidants.  The harmonious blend of these active ingredients provides diverse and balanced antioxidant protection – more so than other popular antioxidants.

I had a chance to try two of them (thanks to a nice offer from Beth) and I’m feeling all of the healthier for it.

SuperBerry Ultimate is a purplish powder that can be combined with water, juice, or milk, or mixed into a smoothie.  I tried mine two ways: with water and mixed into a smoothie with banana and blueberries.  I liked it both ways (the fruit compounds make the powder relatively sweet itself) but I would say that the smoothie was my preference.

CocoChia Snack Bars are sweet bars combined mostly of coconut, chia seeds and almond butter.  I thought it was really tasty and definitely different than most other bars.  This bar reminded me of an Almond Joy candy bar.

Check out the Living Fuel website for more information on their products including ingredient lists, nutrition facts and recipe videos.

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

The latest installment of GOOP, Gwyneth Paltrow’s health and lifestyle e-newsletter, deals with New Year’s Detox.

While I find it hard to believe that she needs to lose a few pounds, she does have some nutritious and tasty-sounding recipes including: Broccoli and Arugula Soup, Blueberry and Almond Smoothie, and Teriyaki Chicken.

Happy 2009!  What are your resolutions?

Jo’s Candies: Toffee Nuggets and Peppermint Crunch

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I like homemade treats, but candy can be difficult to make. Plus Jo’s Candies certainly is better with a candy thermometer than I (or even Dan of Candy Addict).

A box of Toffee Nuggets comes with 3 milk chocolate and 3 dark chocolate toffees, covered in almonds. One box for $12.75, two boxes for $20.

Peppermint Crunch involves white chocolate that is mixed with peppermint oil and covered dark chocolate. One 9-ounce tin goes for $17.00.

They don’t skimp on the chocolate and they’re perfect with a cup of hot cocoa or a tall glass of cold milk.
