One day I was browsing the web and came across a product that caught my attention. Oatworks. This product boasted that it was packed with as much soluble fiber as two bowls of oatmeal, gluten free, vegan friendly, dairy free, non gmo and no cholesterol.
The people over at Oatworks sent me a package of all three flavours to try! Lucky me! The three flavours were pomegranate blueberry, peach mango and strawberry banana.
Once I received the package I made sure to put them in the fridge. Accoring to oatworks "Like friends, Oatworks is best when chilled." Out of the three my favourite was strawberry banana followed by pomegranate blueberry and the peach mango. The ingredients in these drinks are packed full of nutrition. The one thing that I wish it had was more protein. Each flavour on average only has 1g of protein.
If you are looking for a quick on the go way to get a great tasting smoothie, nutrients and your daily fiber I highly recommend picking up Oatworks. These products are available in the USA and unfortunately they are not available in Canada yet. For more information on the product check them out at www.oatworks.com
I am in love with the Swell Bottle! They are the best looking water bottle that I have come across in a long time! I so want one for the gym!
The Stone Collection is 500 ml/17 oz and has a durable finish that has a chip-resistant color coating.
According to their site the bottle:
Keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours, hot 12
Safe for you and Mother Earth: 18/8 stainless steel, non-toxic, non- leaching and BPA free
Ergonomically designed to fit in your hand and your cupholder (stroller too)
The subtle stone texture keeps your bottle in your grip after a long run or a hot yoga session
Water won’t bead on the outside: hands, bags and papers stay blissfully dry
Mouth is big enough for an ice cube, small enough for drip-free sipping
Polished enough for the office, tough enough for any adventure
Available in:
Citrine (orange), Peridot (lime green), Blue Tourmaline (cyan blue), Amethyst (purple), Smokey Quartz (grey) and Moonstone (white).
What do you think? Which color do you like the best?
I think I am obsessed. I need to try their products. They sound too good to be true. You guys know me and my friends are obsessed with different types of spreads. Especially healthy ones.
Introducing NUTTZO! Founded by Danielle Dietz-LiVolsi these products boast to are said to be organic and have seven seed nut butter. If you were to use this instead of peanut butter you'd be making a healthier choice because it is filled with Omega 3's. The original has no sugar added and I hear that the chocolate flavor is to die for!
I need these in my cupboard now!
Introducing the stack pack and the Core 150 Shaker Meal Pod. According to the company "Each Pod comes complete with removable cores that allow you to separate two small meals or transport one large meal from within just one unit. Finally a meal system that you will feel proud to be seen with."
I really want one of these! It seems more portable than the six pack bag would be.
Say what?!? Times are changing! Coke has released a healthier version of their soda.
“The new Coca-Cola advert ‘Grandpa’ shows that the lifestyle enjoyed by our grandparents — moving more, eating well, taking it easy — can be beneficial. We’re committed to using our advertising to raise awareness of the importance of energy balance and helping people to make informed choices. We believe it is just one of the ways we can help make more people aware of the need for a balanced diet and active, healthy lifestyle.”
The new Coke Life is said to have 100 calories per 20 ounces, versus the 250 for regular Coke. The green-labeled coke is sweetened with a combination of sugar and the natural sweetener stevia.

How do you know what almond milk is best? Sometimes almond milk can be full of preservatives, added sugars and other chemicals. To avoid these and sometimes outrageous prices sometimes I make my own. I simply blend soaked almonds, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon and sometimes add dates. I don't really measure them out I just measure by estimates. I have never gone wrong with the test for the end result. Once blended I strain the contents through a cheesecloth into a container and voila...ALMOND MILK that is free of bad things and cost efficient.
Congrats to Snooki. She did an amazing transformation and she worked her butt off to do it. Yes it takes time and she did it gradually. Way to go girl! Check out her cover:
Okay, more than a few pounds. Waaay more than a few, actually: The four-foot-nine Jersey Shore personality and new mother shed 42 pounds in six months, and as she told Mehmet Oz, MD, yesterday on The Dr. Oz Show, she did it without starving herself or resorting to any other unhealthy tricks.
She just wants to be a good role model for Lorenzo, her seven-month-old baby, Snooki told Dr. Oz. Hey, she’s already a good role model for all of us who need to clean up a little, whether we’ve been acting out on TV or spending too much time in a seated position watching other people act out on TV. So here are Snooki’s rules for losing weight. The shorthand version: Don’t be like Snooki.
Anti-Snooki Rule #1: Be sensible. It was the first question Dr. Oz asked: How did you lose the weight? “You don't do anything crazy,” Snooki told him. “You just go to the gym. You work out.” She wasn't kidding about that: She goes to the gym five days a week or more. And no half-asleep trudging on a Stairmaster for her, either. Trainer Anthony Michael makes sure she keeps her heart rate up (she wears a monitor) and her core muscles working, with exercises like squats, plank jacks, mountain climbers and stars. She also eats right: lean protein and fruit and vegetables, and plenty of it. She sticks to 1300 calories a day, but with foods like those she can eat whenever she gets hungry. “I worked very hard to lose that weight,” Snooki told Dr. Oz. Sensible!
Anti-Snooki Rule #2: Be patient. Snooki lost a lot of weight fast, but she struggled for the first few weeks when she was doing everything right for no visible reward. “I went to the gym for probably, like, a month and a half and I didn't see any results,” she said. “I’m, like, what the hell’s going on here?” She kept at it, though, and soon enough the weight started to come off and the muscles started to show. Because that’s Snooki: She’s goal-oriented, deals well with frustration, and perseveres. Right? Well, that’s the new Snooki. The anti-Snooki.
Anti-Snooki Rule #3: Be centered. Snooki wanted to make a major change in her life and her body, but not because she hated herself. She was motivated by wanting to be a good role model for baby Lorenzo, and by wanting to be able to keep up with him when he starts to get mobile. “And also I want to look good,” she said (which she does). “I don't want to be skinny—I want to be strong.” Snooki’s bottom line for all of us trying to get from where we are to where we want to be: “You should feel great about yourself, because you're an awesome person.” Then she took a sip of a cocktail Dr. Oz mixed for her: grapefruit, lime juice, and tequila, in a portion-controlled 125-calorie cup. Snooki, here’s to you!
