Review: Perky Jerky

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I love jerky. Most of you know this if you have read my blog for any period of time. It's one of my favorite snacks. I was able to try two different kinds of jerky from Perky Jerky: Turkey and Beef. My personal favorite was the Beef. 




Jerky is a very hard thing to review, well, food in general is, because everyone has very different tastes. I really liked this jerky though. It was different from what I would normally buy in the store. This jerky has a sweeter taste to it. Nevertheless these were great. When you bite into a piece it was nice and tender, and packed with flavor. You can tell the time the company put into their flavors. 

Perky Jerky contains NO:

  • Fat
  • perservatives
  • Nitrites
  • or Added MSG
Each serving is only 60 calories and contains ELEVEN grams of protein! Talk about a power snack! I was extremely satisfied with Perky Jerky! 

10/10!

Review: P28

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.
Sliced Bread, Bagel, Sample sizes of Spreads
All delicious!

I have been using an app on my phone, that tells me what sort of nutrients that I lack in my daily diet. Turns out, I lack protein, almost every day. Protein is one of the most vital things that you need to eat, and I definitely don't eat enough of it. I was surfing the internet one day, and I stumbled across P28. What makes P28 so special is that each of their bread products contain 28 grams of protein! 

I was able to review a bagel, a flatbread, and their regular sliced bread, as well as a variety of their high protein spreads. 

I tried the flatbread first, I wasn't a huge fan of that. I do not care for regular flatbreads though either, so that was not a surprise to me. If you enjoy flatbreads though, you would probably love this!

The next product I tried was the regular bread, and i have to say, I loved this. It was very dense. Perfect for sandwiches. Filled with seeds, and packed with flavor. 

The last bread product I tried was the bagel. This bagel was so dense. But the flavor was great! By the time I took a bite of the second half, I was full. I tried this with the different spreads, and that just made it better.

Review: Manitoba Harvest "Hemp Hearts"

I had no idea what "hemp hearts" were until recently. I had heard people talk about how tasty hemp seeds were, but I had never seen them around in any of my grocery stores. So when I had a chance to review Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Hearts, I jumped on it. I am always trying to find ways to incorporate healthier and more nutritious ingredients into my food.



I didn't know what these were going to taste like, but I am certainly glad I gave them a try. I tried a few right out of the bag... different, but not bad. Imagine if a pumpkin seed and a sunflower seed had a baby together... that's what these taste like. So then I tried them on a salad. SOLD! These were great on salads!  Not to mention they made it way more filling! One serving has 10g of protein, and 3 grams of fiber! Not to mention the vitamins these have in them.

Then I decided to get a little more original with them... My husband had been bugging me for Blueberry Crisp, so I finally gave in and made it for him this afternoon... and instead of my topping of just oats, cinnamon and sugar, I also added some Hemp Hearts. I could notice the extra nuttiness in the crumb topping, but he didn't say a word. He didn't even know they were in there! So he got some extra protein and vitamins with his dessert tonight, HAHA!

I really loved this product!
10/10!

Review: Nature's Best- Java Pro

I have tried Whey Protein before, but I have never tried anything like Java Pro. Java Pro comes in five different flavors:

Espresso
French Vanilla
Latte
Caramel
Mocha
Hazelnut

I received the caramel flavor to try. This was so delicious. Easily the best Whey Protein drink I have ever tried. This really reminded me of a "fancy" coffee drink, which is to be expected because it has coffee in it! The Java Pro Caramel Flavor is only 110 calories per serving, and contains 20 grams of Protein! Wow! This also contains just about every vitamin and mineral you could think of in it. This tasted great!

These are great for athletes, or even the everyday person who is need of a "Get up and Go".

Nature's Best ins the second most recognized sports nutrition brand in America. They have many other products as well.

Review: Cyclone Cup

 I was able to review the Cyclone Cup. I have been drinking a lot of protein drinks, and weight loss shakes lately, and I cannot tell you how much time this has saved me. Before I received this, i was using a spoon to mix up my shakes in my glass... Such a pain! The powder would just sit on top, and then I had mix that would just ball up in the water, and not mix at all... It was so frustrating! The cyclone cup is the easiest way to mix up powdered beverages.

This also has a compartment to keep your shake mix, if you aren't quite ready to mix it up yet. I thought this was a great feature. The "mixing" part does come out so it makes it easy to wash. I think this would also make a great "road trip" cup for anyone. You could take out the mixing part, and fill it with your favorite beverage and then put a healthy snack in the bottom. So not only could this be used for people as a shaker cup, but also for people who spend a lot of time on the road.

The actual "cup" part holds 20 oz, and the separate dry storage compartment holds 6 oz.
The Cyclone Cup Sells for only $14.99 on their website!

Review: Krave Protein Bars

I thought I would try out something a little different and make a video! I do have to say one thing, these Krave bars were delicious! The Birthday cake one was my favorite but if you like Banana bread, you will LOVE the Banana flavored one.

Review: Reserveage

I will be the first person to admit, I do not get enough protein in my diet. Which is why Reserveage Grass Fed Whey Protein is perfect for me. Whey is considered the highest quality source of protein and has the highest Biological Value rating of any protein on the market today.



I received two different products, the Whey Protein, and Collagen Replenish. The Whey Protein I received in two different flavors, Chocolate and Vanilla. I personally liked the chocolate flavor better, but the vanilla was also good! I love all things Chocolate. I mixed mine with Water, but you can mix it into your favorite beverage. The flavor was not overpowering, and it was perfectly sweet. Almost like drinking cold hot chocolate.

The Grass Fed Whey Protein contains No added hormones, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors or colors, no added sugar, No GMO ingredients, No Non-Dairy Creamer, and No Soy or Gluten.

            “What isn’t in your protein is just as important as what is.”

I was also able to try the Collagen Replenish, which contains Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C. This helps reduce the appearance of Wrinkles, and helps maintain skin’s elasticity. This is a white powder that you can mix into a beverage, or even your yogurt. This product is to help replenish Natural Collagen production.

“When you replenish Collagen proteins, you can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and support natural Collagen production for healthy skin texture.”

I mixed mine into yogurt, and I couldn’t really taste it at all! I will continue to use both of these products daily!
I would give both of these products a 10/10!

Review: Somersault Snacks!

I was given the opportunity to review Somersault Snacks, little circle clusters of sunflower seeds and grains. They come in several different flavors including, cinnamon crunch, sea salt, salty pepper, sante fe salsa, and Cocoa Crunch. My personal favorite is the Sea Salt and the salty pepper.


These are the most unique snack I have ever eaten. I have never even heard of anything like these. The cocoa is nice and sweet, and you get a nice chocolately flavor, but still can taste the sunflower seeds. It's perfectly balanced. The Sea Salt is a more "traditional" taste. You can really taste the sunflower seeds, which is great for me because I love Sunflower seeds! One of my favorite ways to eat them is on a salad. 

I have to say one of the best parts about these flavor packed snacks, is that they are better for you than most snacks! Each little packet contains ingredients that are all natural, three grams of protein, and six grams of fiber. They are also Nut Free. 

These would be perfect to pack in a sack lunch for your child going to school, or just to throw in your purse for a snack throughout the day. 
Great tasting, Great product! 10/10

Review: eatKeenwa Krunch!

I was given the chance to try eatKeenwa. I wasn't sure exactly how these were going to taste, because I had never had Quinoa before. I wasn't sure what to expect. When I received the package and opened the bag and took a cluster out of the bag... It looked sort of like a granola bar piece. I took a bite, and it was delicious! 
I received four different flavors: Vanilla Almond Raisin, Cinnamon Banana Strawberry, Coconut Cranberry Cashew, and Walnut Date Agave. Usually I would tell you which flavor I liked the most, but honestly, they were all my favorite. I know people hate that answer, but it is the truth. My husband agreed with me, he loved them all and couldn't stop talking about how great these were. I pressed him for which was his favorite and he said that if he had to choose, it would be the Vanilla Almond Raisin. 




You can eat these straight out of the bag, on top of yogurt, or with milk like cereal. I like to munch on these right out of the bag. They are a perfect snack when you need that extra kick of energy. 
When you need energy, eatKeenwa Krunch is an all natural cluster snack that delivers a balanced sweetness and nutritious blast to your body. Each bite is packed with quinoa (keen-wa), an ancient whole grain seed and and source of complete protein- the most powerful protein on earth. The prepare for battle, the Inca ate Quinoa, believing it was a gift from the gods. Charge your energy and power your spirit without preservatives or artificial junk.
One Serving (6 clusters) is only 110 calories, contains 5g of fiber and 2g or protein! This is an amazingly healthy snack, and the best part about it, is that they taste great! 
These are a perfect snack for kids who are outside playing all the time, adults who need that extra pick me up, or teens who need a snack after school to get their energy back after a long day. 
I was extremely happy with these products, and eatKeenwa has made my husband and I a customer!

Review and Giveaway: Fatman's Beef Jerky!

Fatman's Beef Jerky sent me a Taste 'em All package, which includes a 1oz bag of each of their flavors, and there are a lot of flavors: BBQ, Cajun, Chipotle, Cowboy Style, Green Chili, Habenaro, Jalapeno Lime, Lemon Pepper, Maple Brown Sugar, Original, Red Chili, Salt & Pepper, Sweet and Spicy And Teriyaki. They have a flavor for everyone!
Fatman's jerky is very lean, and very thin cut, just the way I like my jerky. You really have to chew it. It reminds me of my dad's jerky he woudl make when I was little, except I think Fatman's is better, because of the variety of flavors!

Fatman's only uses fresh ingredients to create all of the delicious flavors, and they also use no preservatives. Fatman's is low in Calories and High in Protein! No pre-made sauces are used to flavor the jerky. 

I really Loved this stuff! The flavors were great and it reminded me of my childhood. I would eat this everyday if I could.
