Nightfood Ice Cream reached out to me via Instagram a little while ago with a very enticing offer! They wanted me to try and also review their ice cream. After a brief look at the Nightfood website I was intrigued to say the least. The idea is that their ice cream is specially formulated for late or (later) snacking - but in keeping with guidelines from their sleep experts so … [Read more...] about Product Review: Nightfood Nighttime Ice Cream

One Arm Push Ups and Some Unusual Specialty Fruit: Arkansas Black Apples (3 Videos!)
Recently discovered that I can do a few one arm push ups, and amusingly I seem to do them more easily with my non-dominant hand. As I was telling some friends the other day, even though I hadn't been specifically training for one arm push ups, I had been doing a LOT more work with the Neuro-Grips for higher rep push ups (that in itself is another notable accomplishment) and … [Read more...] about One Arm Push Ups and Some Unusual Specialty Fruit: Arkansas Black Apples (3 Videos!)
Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca
Not only does it have an adorable looking spider monkey on the wrapper, 10% of the profits of the sale of these chocolate bars go to help endangered species. So there are many reasons to feel good about indulging in this bar. Or rather, HALF of this bar at a time... RIGHT????? Superfood content helps to take the antioxident power of the 70% cacao ethically traded … [Read more...] about Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca
Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
After having seen friends online talk about these bars, when I saw a couple of them at Whole Foods I just HAD to try them. More reviews coming as I eat them, but I am very happy to report this first bar, the Turkey Almond Cranberry bar from Epic was delicious! Gluten free, milk free, and soy free, its kind of like a softer, very easy to eat jerky. The meat is ground and … [Read more...] about Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
It's a wonderful thing to find a protein snack that isn't somehow chocolate covered or some freaky sweet flavor... Really pleased with the bars I've found from Epic, and the fact that this is made from actual factual grass fed beef. And while it made me a little thirsty (a little bit salty), I really enjoyed the complex flavor - smokey, tangy (from the cherries which are NOT … [Read more...] about Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
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 – 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
