january favorites

I have ADD when it comes to food, and love when I find new, healthy products to try.  This month I've been really into coconut and almond products and probiotics!  

I'm allergic to milk so i'm always trying to find alternatives.  I noticed I was consuming a lot of soy products and too much of one thing can never be good, especially soy which has a large amount of estrogen in it. SO, i was excited when I started seeing a lot of coconut and almond milk products.

Coconut Milk Kefir

Calories: 100 

Fat: 5 Grams - 65% of which are MCFA's (Medium Chain Fatty Acids) Absorbed more effeciently, digest Easier and in turn the body quickly turns into energy instead of storing as fat.

10 Active & Live Cultures (Probiotics are good bacteria that improve digestion, absorption of food and stimulate and support the immune system)

Soy Free / Dairy Free / Gluten Free / Vegan

KIND Bars

A fiber-rich mixture of whole almonds, apricots and coconut with only 190 Calories & 5g of fiber.

Soy Free / Dairy Free / Gluten Free / Vegan

I've been considering a gluten free diet.  Maybe i'll give that a try in February

Count Down to Cruise

So the spring line at Anthropologie (plus the girl in the bikini) has now inspired me to make a count down for our family cruise.  Our departure is somewhere around July 15th 2011, so we have approximately.....

6.7 months, 27 weeks, and 189 days to go.
