Naturegirl Industries Protein Bars


I hope you all had a great summer. Now that summer is coming to an end and back to school lunches and snacks are on our minds, I thought I'd share a great product I found. This product is great for adults and kids. To fill you all in a little, I've been thinking a lot about what water we should be using in our house, bottled, filtered, alkaline, etc. I tried alkaline bottled water but was not happy about it being packaged in plastic. I tried filtering my tap water but I felt it wasn't removing all the chemicals it should. Then I found Phountain Water. You can fill up your glass gallon containers and choose what alkalinity you want. I use an 8.5. Their filters remove all chemicals and you are getting clean filtered, alkaline water, in glass bottles. I am happy!

Now back to my amazing product find. While in there filling my water gallons, I saw these bars from Nature's Fuel. They had samples to try and I fell in love with them. The nutrition is amazing and so is the clean ingredient list. They have 8 grams of fiber, 18 grams of protein, are gluten, dairy, soy free and vegan. The flavors are also incredible and will satisfy all the junk food cravings you will have like (almond joy, jelly ring, smores, girls scout samoas). Believe me I've been eyeing jelly rings at Trader Joes for a couple of months now and would not give in. Then I had the jelly ring bar and it completely satisfied my craving!

My daughter was with me when we sampled them and has been addicted to them too! I will be cutting these in half and giving them to my daughter for a snack at school. It feels like such a treat to her, but I feel good that I'm giving her a healthy snack. Also, the jelly ring flavor has greens in it too!

You can purchase these bars at any Phountain Water location or at the outside market at Jericho Whole Foods (if your in the Long Island, NY area) throughout September and October.

Serafina the owner of NatureGirl Industries was nice enough to give 12 bars (your choice of flavors) to one of my readers!!

The flavors are:
Ode to Almond Joy
Jelly Ring Jubillee
Yo Adrian, it's Rocky Road
Baby your the Greatest (vanilla peanut butter)
Let's have Samoa

Jac's Gluten Free Bakery in Hicksville NY

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes. It is great that they are gluten free but what I love even more is that their products are natural, 100% whole grain, use organic unrefined sugars, all natural food coloring and are 80% organic. Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free. I've tried some gluten free bagels but none of them were that good so I'd rather just not have them. Jac's bagels are amazing and taste just like a traditional NY bagel. The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee

Turkey Broccoli Bites

I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into a meal for myself and definitely for my kids. These turkey broccoli bites are the perfect meal paired with a nice big salad or as a snack anytime. They are kid approved! I know because I can barely keep them on the plate as they run by and keep grabbing them. I usually double the batch when making these because they also freeze good for another meal for a busy night during the week. Ingredients 1 lb organic ground turkey 1/4 cup pureed broccoli (I make a batch of pureed broccoli and freeze it in portions to use when needed) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons gluten free bread crumb (you can use Jillians or Chickpea breadcrumbs ) 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt pinch pepper olive oil or coconut oil for cooking Directions In a mixing bowl beat egg and add all ingredients except for turkey. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Add the ground turkey and roll into bite size balls or patties. Heat a large ski

Interview on Probiotics

-
Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I also lost
