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.

Favorite Flavor: Strawberry
Serving Size: 1 Cup 
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



A fiber-rich mixture of whole almonds, apricots and coconut with only 190 Calories & 5g of fiber.
These are really good and keep me feeling full for a while.
Soy Free / Dairy Free / Gluten Free / Vegan

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

Hi Melis, I posted a test because it wouldn't let me submit my comment yesterday when I tried to post one.

I think you should try kombucha. If you ignore the floaters in them I think you would really like it.

I also have been loving KIND bars lately! They have been my go to bar after Larabars.

Difficult to find the almond and apricot Kind Bars. Where have you found them?
I love the strawberry cream Kefir.
Unable to drink kombucha. Healthy, but do not like the fermented taste. Anita likes it and makes her own.

I get the Almond and Apricot bars at Whole Foods. I went yesterday and picked some up for you :) I'll put them in the mail later this week so that you have them when you are back from your trip. xo
