Product Review: Various from Abe's Market #1

So Abe's market has an amazing service where you can try 

things for $2 each and they ship it for free. 

You can choose up to 3 items at a time. 

So I will be reviewing those items along with some 

other items I got along with this shipment.

Abe's Market. Try for $2!

Item #1

I am always hesitant to try freeze dried products but it sounded good so I gave it a try.

Creamy, crunchy and fruity. It's like eating cereal basically.

The flax mixed with the dried milk and fruit go well together.

Great on the go breakfast but not everyone enjoys freeze dried products.

I have to say I was surprised and that tiny package gives you half a cup of fruit!

Decent product but of course always eat fresh raw produce if possible.

Item #2

I love the mix of savory and sweet. And this bar delivers just that.

If you are a fan of Moroccan flavors you may enjoy this bar.

With pistachio's, currants, carrots, and ginger, this bar

could easily be a meal replacement for either breakfast or lunch.

It wasn't until I finished the bar that I knew I enjoyed it.

The presence of sesame kinda threw me off but in the end I enjoyed it.

Item #3 

Now this item I only got because I like spicy food.

I do not consume what this product has in it on a regular basis.

This item is a major cheat even though it is considered healthy.

I don't consume legumes often, and the soy bean oil, 

corn starch and "natural flavors", aren't things I personally consider healthy.

So that aside, how does it taste? Meh, it's got a kick for sure. 

I thought I used to like dried peas. I guess I don't anymore. 

I will probably mix these with my Asian Spiced Roasted Almonds I made the other day.

These items were part of the try for $2 promotion.

The other items were Mate Tea and herbal teas I will review in a future post.

I'm back!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I have not posted in a long time but there is good reason.

I had to move, we sold our house and moved in to an apartment situation.

We are better off financially now so it was a good thing.

Anyways back to health blogging!

I am going to focus on reviewing health items.

I enjoy trying new things especially when it is supposed to be good for you.

So every time I come across a new product to try I will post a

review here on my blog along with where I got it or links to it.

I will also have the occasional recipe when I come across something special.

I hope everyone had a great and healthy summer.

I am looking forward to posting more this holiday season. 

Meatless June is over!

Well a month has gone by and I only ate meat one time,

 it was chicken right before the 10 day cleanse.

I didn't miss meat nearly as much as I thought I would.

My digestion seemed a lot better and my skin nice and clear.

I will start eating meat again but I keep days where I do not eat meat.

I probably won't be posting much for a while, 

I will be moving in to a new home.

I start posting as soon as I can or I will post during my next cleanse.

Day 10 Summary

Day 10 and the last day of the cleanse is here!

Lost around 5 lbs but more importantly 

infused my system with vital nutrients!

Was a great overall experience 

and its feels great having gotten through it.

Next time will be the Fall cleanse in 3 months!

Day 9 Summary

Day 9 is here and it's almost over.

It's been really hot the past few days.

I have been careful not to over exert myself.

I have been eating more nuts to 

make sure I am getting enough calories.

Re-hydrating after a 5 mile walk.

Picked up some more Coconut water and tea at the store.

Ended my day playing World of Warcraft like I do every Tues-Thurs.

Day 8 Summary

Only a couple more days left and I am ready for it to be over for sure.

I am down to 187 lbs. I also feel pretty great.

Took a 4 mile walk.

Love this smoothie from the store.

Making a smoothie soup has really helped me 

feel like I am consuming a proper meal.
