Undercover Chocolate Covered Quinoa Crisps

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.
 
 
   Who knew Quinoa could be so good! Add a bit of chocolate and you have a delicious and healthier for you snack! I absolutely love these Quinoa Crisps by Undercover. They have just the right amount of sweetness and protein so you can feel good with each bite. But be careful...They're very addicting! :)

Not only are these crisps SO good, but they are much better for you than other chocolate snacks out there. They are allergen friendly so your kids can take them to school. They are gluten free, as well as peanut/tree nut free, kosher and Halal certified, and packed full of protein fiber, and good for you simple ingredients.
 
Have you had these before? 
What do you think would be your favorite flavor?
 
(My favorite are the Milk Chocolate Crisps!)

Finding Hidden Treasures When Least Expected


    You know when you just have one of those days...you could really use some chocolate but there's none in the house? Well I decided to clean out our pantry and organize it a bit more...sorting the boxes of cereal and crackers, checking expiration dates, and re-stacking the oatmeal packets... 

   I had found a mini Snicker Bar hiding in one of the baskets!! It just knew that I was meant to find it that day. I enjoyed the tiny but oh so delicious piece of chocolate, and of course, after I ate it, I wish I had more :) I love finding joy in the simple things. They really make life more enjoyable!


What are some hidden treasures you've found when they were least expected? 

 

Daily Goodie Box - December 2019


Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.  

December brought another fun-filled Goodie Box! This one is perfect for the holidays because it contained chocolate! :) As well as other items that were fun to try! Check them out below.



BodyBio - E-Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate - This liquid is easy to use, just a capful of the concentrate, poured into an 8oz glass of water, and it's ready to drink! It's said to replenish your electrolytes and more, So it's great for dehydration and to drink after playing a sport or working out hard. Aside from the good nutrients, I didn't really like this product, because of its texture and taste. I found it to be very salty and left my mouth feeling odd, like I had been drinking creamy salt. I think it could possibly be better if the liquid was flavored, or added to an already flavored drink, but I personally wouldn't recommend this liquid in water.

Aprati Foods - Mocati™ Hard Candy Assortments - These little candies were fun to try! I loved the delicious coffee flavors and that each piece was long lasting. The pack contained 3 flavors: Caramel Macchiato, Mocha Mint, and Espresso. I enjoyed each one, but I think the Caramel Macchiato was my favorite. Perfect for on the go!

Lock Laces® - Elastic No-Tie Shoelaces - These no tie elastic shoelaces are perfect for joggers, or putting on your little ones shoes, to prevent them from coming untied. The pack comes with 2 laces and they're one size fits all so it will work on all shoes!

Michael's® Naturopathic Programs - Adrenal Xtra ENERGY Support™ - I have yet to try these yet, as I am afraid of taking the 3 pill dosage haha. These pills are huge! I would love to have natural energy on a tired day, but the amount you have to take just to get that, is kind of daunting.


Chocolat Frey® - Crunchy Nut Bars - This was by far my favorite product in this months Goodie Box! I love all things chocolate, especially when hazelnuts are added to the mix! The candy bar was made and shaped directly from Switzerland so that makes it extra special. The only thing I would change about this had, is to maybe have the hazelnuts cut in half, instead of whole. But overall, it was delicious and I would love to try more of their products!



Dalmatia® - Fruit Spreads - I received the Dalmatia Tangerine Spread, which made me happy because it made me think of Paddington Bear and his Orange Marmalade :) Although I've never been very fond of orange flavored jellies, this one was fun to try and tasted pretty good on a piece of toast. I would have preferred it to be less sweet, but the texture was good and I really enjoyed trying it out.

Enzymedica - Heartburn Relief - Unfortunately, I've joined the crowd with many others who experience heart burn on a daily basis. I've tried many products and none of them seem to work very well for instant relief. I was hoping to get lucky, and find this one would work, but unfortunately it didn't for me.

NibMor - Daily Dose Chocolate Bars - Another delicious chocolate product for this chocolate lover, and it really hit the spot. I received the Dark Chocolate Tart Cherry bar and it was delicious! The cherry mixed with the chocolate was perfection. These bars are the perfect size for an after meal dessert. Definitely recommend!

I've enjoyed trying another batch of products and looking forward to the next! Would you like to try your in Goodie Box for free? Join the Daily Goodie Box to receive your own set of products to test!

Daily Goodie Box - April 2019

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


I'm happy to receive and share with you, another Goodie Box, this time for the month of April! There were many health friendly items in this box, which included the following:

I loved the concept of Tickle Water, being a kid friendly sparkling water, with just a hint of flavor. It's really bland with next to no carbonation so if your children are use to drinking soda, they might not like this. 

I find myself getting heartburn quite a bit, so having a good antacid on hand is just what I need. These wafers have an interesting flavor and pleasant texture, much better then the chalky Tums or Rolaids. I find that they take awhile to kick in and sometimes don't seem to help the heartburn at all. But I enjoy them after a good meal.


Real Chemistry - Environmental Rescue Daily Serum
I didn't notice much, while using this product. It has a great smell, similar to that of roses, but the serum felt really sticky putting on. It dried well and allowed my normal moisturizer to be applied over top just fine. I think I needed a bigger product to test it for long term though.

This was an interesting tea to try. It works as an Energizer with no negative effects. It also helps keep stress down and promotes alertness. I liked drinking it cold with ice.
 Kokokahn - Breathe Aromatherapy Inhaler
This mini nasal inhaler is a literal breath of fresh air when my nose is feeling a little stuffy. The strong peppermint scent opens my passageways and allows me to breathe more clearly. I love the chilly after effect as well.
 
I love enjoying a bag of trail mix and this one did not disappoint. It was the perfect size for an afternoon snack and I of course loved the chocolate M&M's most!!

This medical balm is great for on the go moisturizer. It fits compact inside your purse or pocket, ready for when you need it. I love that you can use it on your lips and skin, and that it contains vitamins and cold pressed chamomile extract.


Saffron Road - Dark Chocolate Crunchy Chickpeas  
If you're craving something chocolate and something crunchy, these are the perfect snack for you! They have an excellent flavor and are very enjoyable to munch on. I do wish they were a little softer, but overall we really enjoyed these!

Warrior Blend Plant Based Protein by SunWarrior

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


Warrior Blend Plant Based Protein by SunWarrior is a great protein powder to use after workouts! It is made of several rich sources such as Yellow Pea's, Hemp Seeds, Goji Berries, and Coconut to provide a dynamic fusion of raw plant-based protein. This powder is full of Arginine, Leucine, Lysine, and branched chain amino acids. It is a super-food packed protein shake that will help you on your journey through fitness!

I had the opportunity to try the SunWarrior chocolate protein powder and loved blending it as a smoothie mixed with frozen bananas. But it is also one of the few protein shakes I've tried, that I enjoyed drinking just mixed with water! The powder seems to dissolve pretty well and is a great way to boost your nutrition and feed your muscles. It is very filling so you can also use it as a meal replacement, making it perfect for breakfasts on the go! I like to have a shake after my workouts, as a way to nurture my muscles after I worked them. SunWarrior makes all kinds of different products, it would be amazing to try them all!

Daily Goodie Box - November 2018



Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 

 I love receiving Goodie Boxes! It has taken me a lot longer than I like to get this review up and running, but it's here and I'm ready to share with you all the goodies I got! A ton of tasties held up inside this box, each one so fun to try! Especially all the chocolates for my sweet tooth ;)


Baron Chocolatier's Chocolate Gummy Bears were surprisingly delicious.  I'm not a huge gummy fan but having these bears coated in chocolate made them an addictive little snack to munch on. I shared them with my hubby and son, who both love to eat gummy bears frozen. We didn't try these guys frozen, but we all loved them as is. The little sample made a perfect edition to my hubby's Christmas stocking this past December. Each little gummy bear has a different flavor: Strawberry, Lemon, Green Apple, and Orange. Some flavors pair with the chocolate better than others, but I'm really happy to see that these are made with natural ingredients.

Lang’s Chocolates Chocolate Covered OREO Cookies were probably my favorite part of this box. Who wouldn't like milk chocolate coated Oreo cookies? Two cookies in a pack, dipped in creamy milk chocolate...Each bite had the crunch of the cookie, but was still soft enough to bite into. They were so delicious and hit all the right spots. Truly an addictive snack!



Ethical Bean Lush Medium Dark Roast Coffee was not my top favorite coffee, it seemed to have a very bitter taste. The aroma was very pleasant though! This coffee is made with fruity, smokey, and earthy notes, giving it quite a flavor. I love that this coffee is Fairtrade Certified Organic and leaves a lighter footprint on the world.


Ezywipe Cleansing Towels is quite the new invention I've never seen before. These towels come in a tiny tube and look like little medicine disks. They're great to have in your purse or bag so they can travel along with you at the time of need. Say, your kid gets messy at the restaurant or you need a quick cleanup after the gym, these are ready to go, just add water and you have a fresh washcloth! A very handy tool to have when you're out and about. The cloths are made of 100% Rayon, they're made very durable and can even be reused and washed in your washing machine. They are antimicrobial and antibacterial, as well as hypo-allergenic, and even flushable!

Herbal Zap Party Detox Herbal Supplement's are great for after holiday hangovers...but if you don't get wild and experience crashing hangovers, they can work just as well for boosting your immune system. You can take the Party Detox if you've over eaten or are lacking sleep as well. These little zapping drinks just give you a nice little boost to help soothe your stomach and detox your system. This one is made with Ginger, Amala, Turmeric, Coriander, Black pepper and Key lime as well as a small bit of cane sugar. It has a strong ginger taste, but not too bad if you enjoy that flavor.


B.O.S.S Food Co. Superfood Bars are great for on the go snacking! I received the flavor Raspberry Almond + Aronia Berries to try. It taste very healthy, as you might imagine, but I loved the almond bits in it. These bars are made with no preservatives and are soy free, gluten free, and paleo friendly making them a great snack for those on a diet. Each bar has just 8 ingredients, so that's pretty amazing!


Zahlers Prenatal+DHA 300 Supplements are good for Mama-To-Be's. But because I am not currently expecting, I decided not to test these out. These pills provide 25 vitamins and nutrients plus 300mg of DHA and 1000 mcg of Quatrefolate. They sound like great prenatals for mama-to-be's to take.  


Tiger Balm Pain Relieving Patches are excellent for bringing relief to those sore muscles. We love having Tiger Balm on hand but have always hated having to rub on the goo, as it is so hard to wash off. Having the balm on ready to go patches makes it easy and mess-free! These patches a fast working and relieve pain fairly well. I love using them when my hips get sore from workouts.


   My Cup Of Cocoa Dark Drinking Chocolate made an interesting cup of hot cocoa. I expected this to be very rich in flavor but I felt that it was lacking somewhat. Though I might not have used enough powder for a cup...I did find it added a nice little chocolatey taste to my coffee! I love the image of this product, how it is simple and sweet...it would make a nice little gift as well.


The last part of my box to review was supposed to be the Goddess Garden's Organic Sun & Skin Care but I never received it. Not much to say about this since I'm not sure what the product was supposed to be, and I didn't get to try it out, but it sounded great! I could have received a skincare product that helped with sun protection. Oh well.

So that was my November Goodie Box, that I apologize for posting it so late.... It was filled with all kinds of goodies we enjoyed. I can't wait for the next box to try out! Would you like to review products too?

Splenda Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


   Baking season is right around the corner which means lots of sweets will be consumed! But what if you could bake goodies with 50% less calories then usual? With Splenda Naturals Stevia Sweeteners you can enjoy sweets at a lighter balance with half the amount of calories that sugar contains. This sweetener is made with pure cane sugar and stevia leaf extract and contains non-GMO ingredients and no added flavor or colors. Every 1/2 teaspoon of this blend is the equivalent to one full teaspoon of traditional sugar, making it last longer as less is being used! Just think of all the goodies you can make with this!


   In the past, I have never been a huge Splenda fan because it always left a bad aftertaste. I was pleasantly surprised with the Splenda Naturals sweetener, as it tastes amazing and there wasn't any bitter result. This is from Splenda's specialized Reb D blend, much different from their original Reb A blend. You can truly taste the difference! I have made several treats using Splenda Naturals so far...some of those include Easy Sugar Cookies, Lemonade, Apple Tisane, and Cinnamon Cake. I have enjoyed every single recipes I've used this product in. I find the sweetener dissolves extremely well in liquids, and mixes perfectly in batter. And the only aftertaste I'm getting is the ultimate sweetness! I love that I can use less of this sweetener in all my recipes so it doesn't get used up so quickly. I can't wait to see all the sweets I come up with during the Holiday season!



You can find Splenda Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend available for purchase in stores near you including Walmart, Acme, Food Lion, and Weis Markets. Also be sure to visit splenda.com for more products and information, as well as recipes!

If You Care Cupcake Liners + Christmas Cupcake Decorating

 Disclaimer: I received a following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 


I had the opportunity to review and hold a cupcake decorating party for the If You Care Baking Cups. Despite the plain brown paper bag color, I love these liners as they do really well in baking cupcakes or muffins! 


 

 In making my cupcakes, the breading didn't stick to the paper when being pulled off. This is great because a lot of cheaper liner products tend to stick making a huge mess. These ones were great! They also don't have any papery smells, and leave your cupcakes tasting as they should.



 They are such a great product! I can't wait to try the liners in making meatballs. I want to test how grease-proof they are! I would love if they were available in different colors/designs, but otherwise, they are a great product to work with. 

Here are our beautiful Christmas cupcakes we made awhile back!
 So much fun!

OMG's Dark Chocolate Sunflower Flax Butter

 I received the following product(s) in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own.

If you're looking for a new spread to try, check out the OMG's Sunflower Flax Butter. This is especially great for those that love the bitterly taste of flax and sunflower seeds! This butter gives you a daily dose of Omega-3's while being low in sugar, rich in Lignans, with no Trans Fats. It is also Kosher certified, and free of any Gluten or GMO's.


 OMG's Sunflower Flax Butter in chocolate is a nice alternative to other chocolate spreads out there. I love that it is a lot healthier than most and that it contains great ingredients for your body. The texture is smooth and creamy, yet thin enough to be able to spread easily. The flavor is strong of sunflower seeds with a mix of dark chocolate giving it a nutty taste. I wish the chocolate taste was more prominent but it's something to get use to. I tried a spoon of this butter, as I do normal peanut butter, and found it is very potent straight from the spoon. I also mixed the butter in a banana strawberry smoothie and it tasted good but once again, very strong. It will take some time to get use to this taste but overall it is pretty good and a great alternative!


 OMG's Chocolate Sunflower Flax Butter is typically
 available for purchase on Amazon, in the flavors 
Dark Chocolate and Madagascar Vanilla.
