Product Spotlight and New Smoothie Routine

This stuff is amazing! The farms website is here. Amazon link is here.

So I finally have a health food store nearby so I am in health product heaven.
They had samples of a plant protein powder that was great but there was one
problem with it, it had soy, ewwww. Link here for that product.
So I had to mix some products together to get what I wanted.

Taking a break from Whey and using Pea Protein. For nutrients I am using the Bee Pollen with Inca Meal from Peaceful Planet. I also try to work Cider Vinegar in when I can. Fresh Greens and Fruit is also used along with nut/seed milks, Coconut water and Kefir.

Veggies include: Baby Kale, Spinach, Tomato, Basil, Parsley.
Fruit: Blueberries, Kiwi, Pineapple, Mango, Banana.

Curry Roasted Seeds

I adore fall, and fall flavors!

Curry Roasted Seeds

I used a mix of Sunflower and Pumpkin seeds, shelled and raw.

Coated foil with coconut oil. Placed it on a baking pan.

Spread seeds out on a single layer.

Coat with your favorite spices. I used Cumin, Curry, 

Smoked Paprika, Pie Spice, Pink Salt.

Roasted it for 10 mins at 300 degrees.

Quick Spiced Apples and Dark Chocolate Sunbutter Mousse

I wanted an apple but I also wanted it to be special. This is what I came up with.

1 Apple - cored, peeled and thinly sliced.

1.2 ounces Dark Choclate

2 Tbs Sunbutter(or any nut butter)

1 ounce Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

1 tsp Natural Sweetener

Pie Spice(Cinnamon, Nutmeg, All Spice, Clove)

2 ounces Really Thick Greek Yogurt Plain

Start off preparing the apple. I left the skin on the first time I made it,

 it caused a problem when scooping it up to eat. 

So core it, and peel it. Then thinly slice it.

Steam it for 30-45 secs with a little water in the microwave.

Now prepare the mousse. Melt the chocolate, sunbutter, oil and sweetener.

Stir then add to the yogurt after it has cooled a bit.

Mix thoroughly. Layer the apples in a bowl sprinkling the spice on the apples.

Then spread the mousse on top. Then apples, spice, mousse, repeat.

Top with 1 scoop of yogurt or whip cream, or thickened coconut cream.

Sun Cacao Bliss

I decided to use the package of sunflower seeds I got from
 Publix to make a variation on Cacao Bliss.

If you aren't familiar with what that is,
it's an awesome mix of coconut butter, oil and cocoa.
Made by Artisana. Click here for more information.

Basically I just added sunflower seeds into the mix to make up for the full bag of 

coconut flakes I did not have on hand, only had maybe a half of bag.

I worked off of this recipe: Click here for recipe.

Added a little salt, cinnamon, and used date sugar
instead of agave and also
unsweetened bakers chocolate instead of the powder.

I also added 1 Tbs of Nutella.

And here is the result.

Product Spotlight: Healthy Weight-loss Gold

I wanted to share my experience with this product. 

As always, do not take supplements without talking to your doctor first.

I have been taking this for about 10 days now, one bottle gives you a 1 month supply.

You take two pills, twice a day, and eight hours apart.

The first week I was holding steady at 195 lbs.

By day 7 I noticed the weight starting to drop. 

I have been doing at least 30mins to an hour of exercise depending on what type.

30 mins for abs/strength, 60 mins for walking.

Day 10 I am at 191 lbs. Now I know losing 1 lb a day isn't normally healthy, 

and I do expect it to stop.

But for now it seems to be helping target anything 

that would be in my way of reaching my weight goals.

I will keep you all updated.
