A surprise awaited me the other day when I opened my door- a box of free goodies from Classic Foods! They sent me a few bags of their new Poptillas, which are popped tortilla chips. According to the bag, they are “gluten free, popped not fried, no cholesterol, no high fructose corn syrup, no MSG, [and have] no preservatives”. They […]

AlternaVites Kids Strawberry Bubble Gum Quick-Melting Multivitamin & Mineral Crystals
Do you take a daily multi-vitamin? I must say, even though I generally have a good diet, I do take a multi-vitamin (in the gummy form of course. What can I say? It brings out my inner childhood 🙂 ) Something new I was offered to try for free, the AlternaVites Kids Strawberry Bubble Gum Quick-Melting Multivitamin & Mineral Crystals. […]

Clif Builder’s S’mores Protein Bar
Another Builder’s Bar review! This time, the S’mores flavor. Who could really ever resist a S’more? Chocolate? Marshmallow? Graham crackers? All warm and gooey… Ok I’ll stop now, before day dreaming turns into my actually going out to buy ingredients to make S’mores…. Insert Clif Builder’s S’mores Protein Bar, made with natural ingredients, organic ingredients, and still some muscle-loving protein. […]

Earth Balance Crunchy Coconut & Peanut Spread
Something new!!!! Browsing for a new peanut butter to buy at Whole Foods ( at 2 jars a week, I’m getting a little bored of my usuals you could say…) I saw this gem on the bottom shelf. WHY it was hiding all the way down there is beyond me, but a good eye can spot it. Earth Balance Crunchy […]

NuvoSport ProGel
Pro Gel. What’s that? Protein gelatin, perhaps? =D I know, I never saw/heard/thought of it before, but low and behold, it exists! I got a free sample to try from the company, and with the combination of 1. Being hungry 2. Not wanting to eat junk food and 3. on a high protein diet, I saw this as the perfect […]

Clif Builder’s Bar Chocolate Chip
I’m not a meat eater. Good for my cholesterol levels, bad for my protein levels- especially since I’m a total gym bunny. So I often try to find high protein foods to supplement the protein I lack when I don’t eat that cheeseburger or steak (which, mind you, hasn’t been done since 7th grade! Wow….such a long time!) I also […]

The Ginger People Peanut Ginger Chews
Ginger. I think it’s a love it or leave it kind of thing. As in, too much ginger would totally turn me off – leave it. But just the right amount, like in a gingerbread cookie or a subtle flavor in an entree? love it. I’ve tried some products by The Ginger People before, mostly the original Ginger Chews. Every […]

I got a few free bags of the chips from Enjoy Life Foods to try for free. First one up for review, Margherita Pizza. Why? Because it was 11pm, […]

Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut Blend
Almond Milk is a STAPLE in my fridge. The people I live with at home don’t understand it. They snub my almond milk (without even trying it) and continue to drink their skim or chocolate milk, without giving almond milk a chance. Which, hey, is fine with me because almond milk is more pricy than their cow’s milk, and they […]

Truwhip the Natural Whipped Topping
Um………confession time. I am a Cool-Whip addict. But seriously. I KNOW, it’s full of not-so-good for you ingredients, I think I’ve even seen the really evil ones like HFCS or trans fats, and I KNOW it practically has no nutritional value and I KNOW why don’t I just eat natural whipped cream? Well, I can’t explain it. Something about cool-whip. […]
