Review: Karma Wellness Water

Karma Wellness Water

I know, I know, “You don’t like water.” Well I am here to tell you, if you drink juice, Gatorade, or other water’s with vitamins in them; you have got to try Karma Wellness water! Not only do I have to give Karma Water major points for their innovative packaging, the flavors are all delicious!

The idea behind Karma Wellness’ Water design is that vitamins deteriorate in water, causing premixed vitamin drinks to lost their strength. Karma’s nutrients are stored in the cap until you release them, assuring optimal freshness and potency.

Unmixed

Karma Wellness Water  is a delicious line of natural, nutrient-enhanced water formulated for your mind, body, spirit, balance, and vitality (which happen to be the names of our 5 functional varieties)!

 The driving force behind Karma is the fact that water-soluble vitamins lose their potency while sitting in water or when they are exposed to moisture. Additionally, vitamins suffer degradation when they are subjected to UV rays, oxygen, or heat. The loss of strength is greater when the vitamin contents are spread across the full contents of bottled beverages, causing premixed vitamin drinks to lose their potency over time. This is the challenge we see with many current wellness drinks on the market.

Mixed

 With Karma, we're hoping to make a healthy decision easy. All five functional varieties contain 110 percent (or more) of the recommended daily allowances of vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, B12, D, and E, and the vitamins and nutrients are protected in a KarmaCap until the consumer is ready to drink. At that point, they just push, peel, and shake to turn water into wellness, as see in this video: http://bit.ly/Nyyrr9

 Karma’s water’s are also low calorie, and are PACKED with vitamins. They use Spring Water, are low Sodium, Gluten Free and Lactose free!

My favorite flavor that I tried was the Passionfruit Green Tea. It was so refreshing!

Review: Mama's Magic Mix

Let me start out by saying that I have tried all sorts of snack mixes. When I received Mama's Magic Mix, I thought I would be getting a regular old snack mix, boy was I wrong!
I received three flavors to try: Banana Split Baby Mama Drama, Caramel Apple Rock Star, and Raspberry Mocha Swagger Wagon. Such Fun names! They were also pretty fun for my taste buds also!

Banana Split Baby Mama Drama has freeze dried bananas and strawberries, salted peanuts, caramel puffs and chocolate covered graham crackers! YUM!

Caramel Apple Rock Star contains freeze dried green apples, roasted cinnamon almonds, caramel popcorn and cinnamon Malt Balls

Raspberry Mocha Swagger Wagon has freeze dried raspberries, roasted almonds, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, and white chocolate chips! 

Normally I would tell you which was my favorite, but each one was great in their own way. I loved certain parts of each. If I absolutely had to pick though, it would be Banana Split Baby Mama Drama. 

All of the ingredients in these mixes are great. The flavors mix together so well. One of my favorite items were the Dark Chocolate covered Espresso Beans. So good! Another favorite ingredient of mine were the roasted cinnamon almonds. They remind me of the almonds you get a carnivals in those little paper tubes. 

I honestly have nothing bad to say about these snack mixes. Go try them for yourself! I promise you won't regret it!

Review and Giveaway: Kauffman's Fruit Farms

When I received my package from Kauffman's Fruit Farm, I could hardly contain myself. I opened the package, and was so excited to see what was in it! Apple Butter Spread, and Apple Butter BBQ Sauce. Sounds weird, huh? Well, I can tell you that for a fact, Kauffman's Apple Butter Spread is the best I have ever had.


The flavors in the Apple Butter Spread are perfect. This whole product is perfect. The best part about this, is that it contains only THREE ingredients. Yep, that's it. Three. Apples, Apple Cider, and Cinnamon. It is one of the MOST delicious fruit spreads I have ever tasted. You can taste the fresh apples, and the hint of cinnamon. I tried this on pretzels, and it was amazing. Such a great snack. A great way to start the day if you spread it on some toast for breakfast.

The other product I received, was the Apple Butter BBQ Sauce. As I mentioned above, it sounds weird, but I promise you it is not. This would be absolutely perfect on pork chops, or if you were grilling chicken. You still get the spice and tang of BBQ sauce, but you also can taste the sweetness of the apples. Great product! It reminds me of summer time... My bottle is patiently waiting in the fridge for the next time I decide to grill, and I will be using that for sure. It's delicious! I tried this on it's own, and then tasted it on a piece of meat. It was great. this is perfect for dipping pork in. Especially is you  like eating applesauce with your pork, and I know a lot of people do.

I would give both of these products a 10/10!

Review: Cascade Ice Water

Cascade Ice is something that everyone should try, especially if you love to drink soda! It is a fizzy drink, and it tastes great, but it is WAY better than regular soda for you! I received 5 different flavors to try, Coconut, Lemonade, Macintosh Apple, Orange Mango, and Blueberry Watermelon. Out of those five, the Macintosh Apple was my favorite. In total, they have 21 flavors! What a variety!
 I think what made it my favorite was, it didn't taste like "fake" apple, it tasted exactly like when you bite into a crisp apple and the juice spurts into your mouth. Fresh and clean. Living in Michigan, surrounded by apple orchards (at least in my part of the state) we take our apples very seriously. 

• Cascade Ice waters are free of unnecessary and unhealthy “extras” found in other flavored waters like calories, sodium, caffeine, gluten and sugar. Compared to many popular soda brands which can contain upwards of 38 grams of sugar,Cascade Ice beverages are sugar-free and full of flavor.
• Cascade Ice has 21 delicious and unique flavors including Cranberry Pomegranate, McIntosh Apple and Orange Mango in addition to the line’s three newest flavors, Strawberry Banana, Coconut Mango and Coconut Pineapple. The sparkling waters have a delightful “fizz” combined with natural fruit juices. 
• Cascade Ice is available for purchase in all 50 states, at retailers such as Albertson’s, Safeway, Ralph’s, QFC, A&P, Raley’s, Coborn’s, HEB, Market Basket, Shoprite, Food City and Price Choppers, among many others. Click here for a full map of retailer: http://cascadeicewater.com/wtb.html

Cascade Ice water contains Zero Sugar, caffeine, sodium, gluten, or carbs! It's great for people who are trying to cut out soda as part of a diet, but still want to be able to have carbonated drinks!

Review: Zym Tablets

ZYM Tablets are something everyone should have for days when they decide to work out, or a just feeling down in the dumps. They are dis solvable (and portable) electrolyte tabs. They are packed full of things that are good for you including: Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. They also Have 100mg of Caffeine!! That's about as much caffeine as in one cup of coffee. But unlike coffee, ZYM includes tons of vitamins, and electrolytes. Perfect for recharging after a workout. 

Create a positive and meaningful experience that will enrich the lives of athletes. ZYM plays an important role in athletes from all over the world. ZYM is the essential fuel for your body’s engine to get hydrated: The secret weapon for training and competition. We want you to better your best.

These are so easy to carry around, just a little tube that you can slip into your purse or gym bag. Each tube contains 10 tablets. Could you imagine carrying around 10 bottles of sports drink? 

 When they dissolve, they make a drink similar to flavored water. I was able to try two flavors, Grape and Orange. I preferred the Grape more, but both were good. 
I would recommend these the any one who works out, whether it be out in the yard or at the gym.

Subscription Box: Love With Food!

I finally know what all the fuss is about with Subscription Boxes. Everyone likes getting unexpected packages in the mail, especially when they have something good inside. I received my Love with Food box today, and I tore into it right away.

When you first open the box they give you a little card taht tells you about the products in the box, and if you like anything you can go to www.lovewithfood.com/shop and buy your favorites out of that months box.
This months box came packed with tons of delicious goodies:

Orchard Blend- Freeze Dried Fruit

 

This was delicious, Only three ingredients! Apples, peaches and Apricots. Kids would absolutely adore this.

Heart Tee

I love TEA! This tea is supossed to help reduce anxiety and stress!

Creamed Honey with Chocolate Mint

Another great Product! I didn't really taste much honey in this, but it was delicious anyway.

Candied Almonds with Cranberries, Honey & Sea Salt

One of my favorites out of this box. This was so good. You know those candied almonds they sell at carnivals? These were like that, except way more flavorful!

Popcorn (Aged White Cheddar and Hatch Green Chile)

This was ok. It was a little spicy for my personal tastes.

Honey Waffle

My favorite thing out of the whole box. Honey in between soft wafer cookies. YUM!

Organic Fruit Spread (Apricot)

This was also VERY good! It's probably a good thing they didn't give me an entire jar, because I probably would have eaten it all. They sweeten it with apple juice. Probably the best fruit spread I have ever eaten.

Organic Energy Bar (Almond)

If you like sesame seeds, you will love this! It was very good!

I loved my Love with Food box!! Everyone should get one! Healthy snacks from all over the world delivered right to your door!

Review: Herbasway

I was given the chance to try Herbasway's Skin Support And Resveratrol. I was very interested in this company because every product they make is all natural, and they use no artificial sweeteners or preservatives of any kind. 

I tried both of these, And I thought they would taste Terrible, being as they are packed with so many vitamins, but really they weren't! Though I prefer the taste of the skin support than to the Resveratrol. The Resveratrol reminds me of the taste of red wine, which is kind of funny, because on the bottle is says 1 serving of the Herbasway product is equal to the amount of Resveratrol content in 80 glasses of Red Wine. 

Skin Support is a super concentrated mixture of 7 fruits (Acai, Pomegranate, Mangosteen, Goji, Black Cherry, Indian Gooseberry, Grape and Stevia), blended into a tea that promotes healthy and radiant Skin. It contains NO Calories! This really does taste like a fruity tea. Skin Zero Caffeine. 

I have always had minor breakouts on my face, and I think this product will be the answers to my problems. If you heal your body from the inside out, like this product does, you are almost guaranteed to see great results. 

Resveratrol combines powerful antibiotics to help defend against free radicals and other causes of premature aging. It contains Giant Knotweed Extract, Grape Extract and Stevia Extract. 

These are both great supplements and can be an important part of anyone's vitamin regimen, because who doesn't like Nice skin?! I think these products are perfect for people who want to try to better their bodies the natural way.

Review: Mamma Chia- Chia Squeeze Vitality Snack

These little pouches pack a lot of bang. Each pouch contains 1200mg of Omega 3's from Chia Seeds. They are also a great source of Fiber, and are super low in Calories. To learn more about Omega 3's, Click Here.
These pouches remind me a lot of squeezable applesauce. They do have whole chis seeds in them, so if you have texture problems, these may not be for you. All of the flavors are delicious: Blackberry Bliss, Mango Coconut, Green Magic, Strawberry Banana, Apple Cinnamon, and Wild Raspberry. 
Mamma Chia uses only Organic ingredients in these squeeze pouches. You can taste in these the fresh ingredients. 
My favorite flavor was the apple cinnamon. The flavors are very balanced, and with the variety of flavors that they offer, there is something for everyone.  I think these would be perfect to pack in a lunch, when you need that extra burst or energy, or if you are not getting enough fiber in your diet. Truly an innovative product. 

I would give these a 9/10! Losing a point for slight texture issues.

Review And Giveaway: Newman's Own Organics

When my Newman's Own Organics box was shipped to my house, and I opened it... I'm surprised my mouth didn't hit the floor. They had sent me tons of goodies to review and try, all organic. I was EXTREMELY impressed my the selection of products they offered, and since they had sent me so many delicious things, this review was a bit delayed so I could sample each thing.

These Chocolates were to die for. My favorite was the milk Chocolate, as dark Chocolate is not my favorite thing in the world. The Super Dark chocolate I let someone else try, because I found it was too strong for my personal tastes. They said they like it and it was not bitter at all. I also really like the Espresso Dark Chocolate. All of them received great compliments from my family.

All of these dried Fruits were amazing. They were very moist and Flavor Packed. The berry blend was my favorite! It has Cranberries, Raisins, Blueberries and Cherries in it. Yum!

These Peanut Butter, Raspberry and Peppermint cups were also another favorite. They are not like Reeses, don't expect them to be, but they are great none the less. The Peppermint Ones were my personal Favorite. They were so good! The amount of filling and chocolate was perfectly balanced. 

I have to say, I thought I wasn't going to like these. I see the word Licorice and I shy away, but I tried these, and I'm not afraid of licorice anymore. My favorite was the Mango. My mom's favorite was the Black Licorice. The flavors of these are great. The "sour" flavors aren't terribly sour, but it brings out the favlors even more.

Oh boy. These Cookies. I cannot say enough about these Cookies. Ginger-O's... I had to stop my husband from eating the entire Package. He loved them. I loved them. Huge hit. The Peppermint creme Cookies. So delicious. Those were my favorite out of the sandwich cookies. Fig Newman's... Absolutely delicious. They were so moist and flavorful, And the Hermit's... I have never tasted anything like them. Imagine a really soft gingerbread cookie, but them add in raisins and then they were rolled in cinnamon sugar. They were absolutely great.

These Bagged cookies were one of my favorites in the whole box. My personal favorite were the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. These cookies are perfect for dipping in milk. Or setting out to have coffee with friends. 

The Pretzels was a snack I wasn't expecting from Newman's Own Organics. Never the less, they were great. Full of flavor, and they didn't dry out my mouth like most pretzels do. 

These mints were also some of my favorite things that came in my goody box. They pack a ton of flavor and the boxes fit perfectly in my purse.

Newman's Own Organics have outdone themselves. I liked everything I received! Everything was completely organic, and I was confident in the ingredients that they used. I have ever been more pleased with a food company than I was with Newman's Own Organics. I urge you to try their products and I guarantee that you will love them!

Review: FAVE 100% Fruit and Vegetable Juice

I was very excited to be able to Review FAVE 100% Juice. Their juice offers something that has never been done before! In each serving you receive 3 full servings of vegetables, and it's only 60 calories! It is 100% completely natural. 

My favorite flavor was Pomegranate-Blueberry-Goji. I really loved this flavor, and would drink it everyday! My next favorite was Strawberry-Banana-Kiwi, and then Tangerine-Orange-Pineapple. I personally didn't like the tangerine one that much, but I don't like the flavor of tangerines. My husband tried it though and he loved it! I had to stop him from drinking the whole bottle in one sitting!

I think these would be perfect for picky children who don't like vegetables. They wont even notice that they are getting 3 servings of vegetables, in a single serving of this juice. Plus it's only 60 CALORIES!

I would give these a 10/10. Perfect Score!
