Being a Type 1 Diabetic, I love a lower carbohydrate option. Generally, higher carbohydrate foods make my blood sugar spike and cereal is almost a guaranteed blood sugar spike. 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). […]

Mancakes Cinnamon Oat High Protein Pancake/Waffle Mix
I bought this mix after seeing it on one of my idol’s pages…Miss Dana Linn Bailey. I was in search of something low sugar but breakfast-y, that was also high in protein. Let’s be honest, I can only eat egg whites so many mornings, or plain greek yogurt with protein powder. So I bought this flavor, Cinnamon Oat, and hoped […]

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 […]

Nimble Bars Peanut Butter and Yogurt Orange Swirl
Source Something new to try! I got a free box of Nimble bars by Balance bar. I was excited, especially when I heard that they had a PEANUT BUTTER flavor. Like music to my ears… I also love that the bars have calcium, fiber, protein and are sweetened with truvia! More nutritional music to my ears (wait…what??) Plus, something new, […]

Corazonas Banana Walnut Oatmeal Square
I have a confession. I’m obsessed with banana flavored things. Banana bread, banana ice cream, banana yogurt (yes! they make it!). I DONT like fake banana (aka laffy taffy) but real banana flavored things I absolutely adore. Which, go figure, I find weird because I’m not all that crazy about bananas themselves. Hmm. So, I got this free Corazonas Banana […]

Corazonas Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Square
Remember my oatmeal debate? How I’d love to eat oatmeal all the time since it’s healthy, filling and deliciously versatile. But, I’m, well lazy. I don’t like cleaning pots, or waiting for the oatmeal to cook. Especially if a cold bowl of cereal is ready in five minutes after slciing up some fruit and pouring some almond milk. It’s just […]

Naturally More Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter. Not a day goes by that I don’t consume either A. some type/variety of peanut butter or B. apples. (what a coincidence that they go perfectly together!) I’m always up for new varieties to try, like the Naturally More Peanut Butter. I had tried the Organic Naturally More Peanut Butter, and really enjoyed it. I was hoping I’d […]

Nature’s Path Organic Optimum Blueberry Cinnamon Cereal
Nature’s Path is one of my favorite brands when it comes to organic food. I have yet to this day had a product from this brand that I haven’t liked. To add to my list of favorites, is the Optimum Blueberry Cinnamon Cereal that I was sent to try from Nature’s Path. So what’s so special about this cereal? Well […]

Musselman’s Healthy Picks Granny Smith Apple Sauce
Being the applesauce lover that I am ( I insist it’s not just for babies! =) ), how on earth could I turn down Musselman’s when they asked if I wanted to sample their new Healthy Picks apple sauce in GRANNY SMITH flavor? Obviously I didn’t! : ) What I like about Healthy Picks Granny Smith Applesauce is that they […]
