A Review Post

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend and Thanksgiving (if you are in the U.S.), if not, I hope you had a great weekend, anyway!

I bought a few new products to try out and I am wanted to do a "review post" to tell you all about them!

First, Real Pickles Raw Organic Dill Pickles. Over the Summer I was obsessed with the raw sauerkraut this company makes, so when I saw they had the raw pickles in Whole Foods I had to pick up a jar! These are the best raw pickles I have had! They actually taste like pickles (unlike some raw brands I have tried in the past). They contain no vinegar so they are full of tummy healthy pro-biotics. If I crave pickles when I am pregnant, I am going for these!
Lately, I have been having Rawnola with coconut milk for breakfast. I've tried a few different brands (they are ALL expensive). This is the Two Moms In The Raw brand: Gluten Free Goji Berry. I like this rawnola a lot. The pieces are pretty large so I break them up first. I like how you only need a small amount of rawnola to feel full. YUM!
I saved the best for last! Organic Nectars: Raw Agave Gelato: Cherry Chocolate flavor. I have bought this raw ice cream in the past and loved it, and this time was no exception! Although rather expensive, again you only need a small amount to feel satisfied.
Look at that chocolate swirl! WOWZA! This gelato is so rich and full of chunks of frozen cherries! The perfect guilt-free treat!
I will be back on Wednesday with my weekend/early week meals! I am just on blogging fire lately with all these posts! Have a nice day everyone!

I always enjoy when you spotlight products. I guess it's a bit of living vicariously through you, since I rarely, if ever, buy prepared foods any longer (raw or otherwise). Guess I'm more of a DIY kinda gal. Why purchase something you can just as easily make?

HOWEVER...if you'll recall, oh, a good 6+ months ago, you were on a Sunshine Burger kick. Well, the seed got planted in my brain, and lo, guess what I discovered last week at my local grocer? I've tried the Southwest and I have to give it a thumbs up. Very tasty!

hooray for trying out lots of tasty new yummies! i'm all about their raw sauerkraut, so i'll fo 'sho be on the lookout for the pickles, too. yum! i need to find some raw granola as well; that's awesome that just a little bit holds you over for a while. ooooh - and the gelato looks heavenly, Lauren! oh my goodness - yay!

OMG, I LOVE those first two products. I have had real pickles and the REAL sauerkraut and it is so good. Sadly I can only get it on the east coast when I visit.

Two moms in the raw is seriously addictive stuff. It's the best store-bought granola EVER.

never tried the ice cream but I should.

Lauren said...

That gelato looks ridiculously decadent. I just picked up some Coconut Bliss (at your suggestion!) but I'll pick the gelato up for my next dessert pint!! :)

Hi Lauren

Just found your blog.

My name is Lauren and I have Crohn's!

I was diagnosed in 1997 aged 18. I have taken all the drugs, had some bowel removed and have finally discovered rawness and self healing. I am so excited to see you are on a similar journey!

Blessings to you
