Don’t forget to enter this week’s giveaway of TRIPLE fun.
I love this popcorn! It is so versatile and I came up with so many different ways to enjoy them. I ate them plain at first. Then, I tried them in a pool of habanero salsa from Big S Farm. Thirdly, I added some cinnamon. Another way I tried was with trail mix. It was such a nice snack on the go. I also tried mixed in my oatmeal. It definitely added a nice crunch! This popcorn is lightly salted with a hint of olive oil. I liked it because it was not oily what so ever. I really despise anything-oily so this was really really really good. Popcorn is such a fun food! Don’t you agree? And it’s whole grains too!
I don’t like potato chips really. So I was hesitant to try this. But the flavor of rosemary made me love it! My sister devoured over the whole thing though. Haha.
Humbles is a very unique snack. It is baked hummus chips! Yep, they are made of chickpea (Garbanzo bean)! It’s like eating hummus! If you like hummus, you’ll love this product. I really really really enjoyed this too.
This crispy apple chips had it all. It was combination of both of my favorites, apples and cinnamon! total love, yo! Ingredients are red delicious apples, expeller pressed non-hydrogenated sunflower or canola oil, corn syrup (not hi-fructose kind), evaporated cane juice, cinnamon extract, citric acid, ascorbic acid.
Healthy and delicious!
Avocado oil is in! Not only does this provide tasty flavor but hearty nutrient. There are only four ingredients which are potatoes, all natural avocado oil, and sea salt. It was light and very crunchy. =)
Overall, Good Heath Natural Foods provide tasty and nutritious snack for health-conscious people like us. Try their unique snacks!
This giveaway is dedicated towards my love for SPICY food. I absolutely love everything sizzling hot, spicy, burning-mouth, and fiery!!!
This is the reason why I enjoy habanero peppers RAW. Yeah, it might sound bizarre, but I really love eating chilies raw. They add such nice KICK to everything.

Last day to enter my giveaway. It ends early and shine tomorrow morning!
Lillian from ToGoBrands provided me with nutrition packed “water’s new best friend” products. They included Go Greens, Acai, Green Tea, Berry Crush, and Omega To Go.
I loved this one! Since I’m a Green Tea Lover, I had high hopes for this product and it didn’t let me down. All I had to do was add one packet to one bottle of water (I used 500mL but had to drink little bit before adding it to give some room to mix).
Go Greens provide 6 whole servings of fruits and veggies. This one was okay for me. I didn’t really like the taste though.
BerryCrush was good too. This one include pomegranate, cranberry, blueberry, elderberry, cherry, black currants, and apples. All those berries and fruits give 100% RDV of Vitamin C!
Acai flavored one has organic SuperFruit antioxidants such as acai, grape, apple, pomegranate, and mangosteen.
I really liked this Omega ToGo flavor too. This product provides 100mg DHA omega-3, which is important for brain, normal cognitive function, eyes, and healthy heart.
Most of them are organic and rich in antioxidant too! Another bonus!
I always like drinking my water as “water” and not flavored. But because these products are packed with nutrient I think I’m okay with having them as “water” time to time.
Only two more days to enter my giveaway!
Just Tomatoes is a wonderful company that provides dried fruits and vegetables. They also have fruits and vegetable powders.
Karen sent me these wonderful samples and I loved all of them. I actually enjoyed them by itself even though I usually add dried fruits to oatmeal or yogurt. I especially enjoyed the dried vegetables. Just Fruit Munchies was really fun to eat because of its different fruit content. I used Just Pineapple Powder in my oatmeal one morning and I was in paradise with its result. You know how I always add A LOT of cinnamon to everything? Well, that one time that I used pineapple powder, I didn’t miss cinnamon at all. Just Veggies was enjoyed by itself during one of my lectures last week. It kept me awake during boring lecture. It also made me feel good because I was getting my daily veggies in!
I saw a lot of different variety of Just Tomatoes products at Whole Foods. So if you’re interested, go get your veggies and fruits! =)
Don’t forget to enter Holey Donuts giveaway if you haven’t! This giveaway ends on WED morning!
Madhava Agave Nectar is 100% pure and collected from live plants specially prepared for the production of aguamiel. A cavity is formed in the top of the plant where the juice collects. Then it is removed twice daily by hand. What is agave nectar you’re asking? It is a sweetener made from the natural juice (aguamiel) of agave salmiana. Agave is broad leafed plants found in many varieties and sizes. They are related to aloe.
I was able to try Light (sweet neutral flavor) and Amber (mild maple-like flavor) kind from this company. They are organic, vegan, kosher, and low glycemic.
I tried Light Agave Nectar in tea, fruit salads and morning smoothies. It added that sweetness we (humans) all crave. I tried Amber Agave Nectar in my oatmeal because of its maple-like flavor. I don’t usually like too-sweet things so I didn’t put that much. I only used 1/4tsp and it still added that nice touch of sweetness. This can also be used in waffles, baked goods, protein drinks, and even for spaghetti sauce. It can add that nice glaze with flavors.
Another great thing about Agave is that it could replace refined sugar in baked goods recipes. You could substitute 2/3cup of Agave Nectar per 1cup of sugar called for.
