Have you ever heard of Fonio? It is an Ancient Super Grain grown in West Africa. The company states “bold Taste. Bold Texture. Great alternative to Oats!” The consistency was not what I expected, definitely similar to cream of rice cereal but thicker. The portion for the amount the instructions require is very small and you will definitely need additional […]

I was very excited when I saw this cereal on the shelves. I’ve been eyeing It for quite some time but the price tag had me avoiding It (10$ a bag). […]

Steeped Coffee
Like the idea of single serve coffee (aka K-cups) but don’t like the idea of all the plastic waste? In comes Steeped Coffee. Single serve coffee in a renewable and compostable bag. Seriously. It’s quite genius. While I love the flavor of a fresh pot of coffee, I work pretty early hours and definitely don’t always feel like brewing it […]

Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with cocoa and milk by Rigoni di Asiago
source Did someone say…Hazelnut spread?? Okay, so I know almost everyone likes “chocolate” hazelnut butter…. & if you don’t, well…I’m not sure what to say actually because I have never encountered anyone who hasn’t. While I’ve had plenty of the typical brands on the shelves, I have yet to see this brand, Rigoni di Asiago. Now that’s probably from one […]

Banana Wave Dairy Free Banana Milk
An alternative for those bored of soy, almond, or can’t tolerate regular milk, in comes BANANA MILK!!! I love the concept of this, every now and then when I make oatmeal or something, I like the flavor of banana but I HATE warm bananas– changes the consistency and bleh — but something like this would come in perfect. Banana Wave is […]

Just Granola Products
Hi there! Today we are reviewing one of my favorite things… granola. In yogurt, out of the box, in bar form, UGH LOVE IT. I could eat it all day.

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Chex cereal
I admit…I’ve been in a Special K rut for years. Now I hardly have cereal for breakfast, but every now and then (especially high cardio mornings) I like to have a bowl with some milk for some carbs and protein to keep me going. Well…since I’m trying to refrain from wheat, I skipped the Special K and went for the […]
