Beyond Organic chocolate bars - glad I got a photo of 2 of them together - they disappear so quickly that this is a somewhat rare photo. They come in small boxes of 12, which might sound like a lot to you - this is an illusion. Each bar is 1.2oz or 35g which is both a blessing and a curse - on one hand, if you are a very good friend, you can snap one in half and there's a … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Fine Italian Chocolate with Probiotics and Omega 3s

October Primal Move Workshops, Travel, and a Neat New Exercise Tool
It's been an incredible month—and it isn't even over yet! First of all, I led 2 Primal Move Instructor Certification Workshops—One in Vienna, Virginia at the amazing "Tyson's Playground" athletic training facility, and the other in Cartersville, GA at Beth and Russell Andrews' wonderful Maximum Body Training. Also in Georgia, I was able to help Beth a little at the HKC … [Read more...] about October Primal Move Workshops, Travel, and a Neat New Exercise Tool

Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
Don't these sound like well-behaved topics?! Don't worry, I haven't gone off the goody-two-shoe deep end! Until recently, even though I've liked kale for a long time cooked in dishes etc, and raw baby kale for salads, I hadn't had any especially good experiences with kale chips. Especially the sort I tried to make myself in the oven a while ago which smelled horrible. … [Read more...] about Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
Pashen Raw Food Snack Bars – Original and Cacao
I love these. They have a delicious complex flavor and texture that is just fantastic for workshop weekends or times of increased activity. While I'm not a huge fan of grains, one of my old favorites is buckwheat and the main ingredient of these bars just happens to be sprouted organic buckwheat. Again, these are a rare treat in that they are expensive ($4-$6/bar depending … [Read more...] about Pashen Raw Food Snack Bars – Original and Cacao
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Confession: I didn't think I'd like the Mint Chocolate Chip bars (scroll to find them) at all. The only reason I ordered them was because of a special offer where a box was included. Having never been a fan of "mint chocolate chip" anything, EVER, I figured I could trade some with one of my clients who also orders Dale's Bars, or just power through them. Wow did THAT … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
This particular flavor is special for a few different reasons, the first of which is it happens to be the surprise favorite of myself and several friends. You'd think we'd pick a chocolate flavor as a favorite, but... the Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds bar (scroll to find it) is hands down the dark horse winner. It's also pretty astounding in terms of nutritional … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
Brutally Honest Beyond Organic Food Product Tasting Notes
OK! Seeing as my Beyond Organic Founder's Pack arrived JUST IN TIME for Thanksgiving - which negated my plans I had had for a "come and try this stuff out" BBQ (which will still happen, but I may need to re-order before then). Let's get started! The Chocolate As you may have seen in the unpacking video, the bars are on the small side (35g) which is actually a … [Read more...] about Brutally Honest Beyond Organic Food Product Tasting Notes
Product Review: Beyond Organic Chee-Z Crackers Tomato Basil, Mediterranean, Raw Cheddar
I had to try all three flavors of course - and they're all great! Depending on what you like in a snack you may decide to choose one over the others... or try all three too. Once again, like any of the Beyond Organic products the specs and pedigree of these crunchy little treats is just off the charts - all three varieties start with a proprietary Enzymatically Activated … [Read more...] about Product Review: Beyond Organic Chee-Z Crackers Tomato Basil, Mediterranean, Raw Cheddar
