Raw Revolution Bars are tasty. More than tasty. They fill up my belly a little and quench my need for sugar. I heart sugar, and I will totally swear to you that my body actually needs it. But that doesn’t mean I want to stuff my face full of Little Debbies. I used to, though, before I began reading about the food I was putting into my mouth. I used to loooove the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie snacks. Let’s just do a little comparison of the ingredients for that and then the Raw Revolution Cashew & Agave Nectar Bar, … Read the rest

I like spinach. Like, a lot. However, I only like to eat spinach, not drink it. So I decided to pair it with some sweet apples to help me forget I was drinking green nast. Why would I try and drink my spinach, you ask? For the most part, it was on it’s way to becoming mush in my fridge, plus I was curious as to how bad it would taste. Also, spinach has something called nutrients and vitamins in it too. For example, spinach contains: Vitamins B, C, E and K. As well as magnsium and iron. Maybe I … Read the rest

Beets are not my favorite veggies. At all. Not even close. Buuuut, if I juice ‘em then they’re not so bad. And beets are actually very healthy for you. Beets are loaded with Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C. Beets are also a great source of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and iron. Celery is full of Vitamins A, B and C with rich amounts of calcium and magnesium. The Red Pepper gives you high levels of Vitamin A, C and E. Not to mention other minerals such as potassium, manganese, thiamine, molybdenum, trytophan, copper, cobalt and zinc.

Moving on down the Zevia line we tried the Lemon Lime Twist one. Back in the day I used to be a Sprite fan and since I don’t like drinking sodas full of funky junk I never get a change to drink my lemon lime soda. I’m not saying the organic soda, natural sodas or stevia infused sodas are totally healthy buuuut, I do believe that they are a much, MUCH better alternative.

Check out the ingredients in Sprite: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, sodium citrate and sodium benzoate. But when you have other, … Read the rest

I ran in the Door County Half Marathon a few weeks ago and the morning of the race I picked up my bag o’ goodies supplied by the race sponsors. Usually you just get an XXL t-shirt that is completely unwearable, unless I wear it as a dress, and my racing number and forms. But at the bottom of my bag was this Raw Revolution Bar. From the title, you can gather that it’s uncooked. What is it exactly? Well, it’s a combination of things: It’s organic, it’s raw, it’s vegan, it’s soy free, no refined sugars, it’s kosher … Read the rest

Who wants a no sugar, caffeine-free soda that still tastes great? Only in your dreams, right? Wrong! There’s this hot little natural soda floatin’ around called Zevia. It’s sweetened with the Stevia Extract and not real sugar. WTF is stevia? Well, Stevia is a South American herb that has been used as a sweetener by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay for hundreds of years. Give or take a year or two. Supposedly, the leaves of this small, green Stevia rebaudiana plant can be up to 30 times sweeter than sugar. Because this soda is blessed with stevia and not … Read the rest
