Healthy Food Shopping
« Previous ArticlesHip to be Healthy squares are addictively delicious
Every time I turn around, Genuine Health is putting out yet another delicious and healthy product.
Just in case you didn’t know already, Genuine Health is one of my favourite health food companies. I just cannot get enough of their Greens+ products (developed by Sam Graci) and their supplements.
Now that this Canadian company is also selling its healthy stuff in the U.S., the entire northern part of the continent has access to a lot of goodness.
If you haven’t found a healthy snack to stop your mid-day cravings, I think you’ll want to take note because I’m about to share with you one of my favourite products on the market.

Organic celery is WAY better than conventional celery
I’ve never liked raw celery sticks! I’m sorry, but celery as a vegetable has never really excited me at all.
There I’ve said it! Yes, a healthy eating expert that doesn’t like a particular vegetable is shocking, I know.
I’ve always found celery sticks to be tasteless and I used to make an effort to eat them, but not before covering them with a lot of salt to try to give them some taste (which really is not the best idea).
I will buy celery to cook. I make a delicious and simple meat pie and I love adding loads of vegetables in my pie and cooked celery is one of my favourites!

Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars are my new favourite raw food
I really didn’t expect Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars to be that insanely delicious!
I’ve eaten many natural protein bars, and some are much better than others. In fact, I reviewed a few that I quite liked here: Healthy and tasty protein bars
The new Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars are incredible. Not only are you getting 9 grams of protein (which represents 18 per cent of your daily requirements), you are also getting a bar made from loads of raw foods!
The bars come in three flavours: Green Synergy, Nutritive Original and Chocolate Decadence. My favourite by far is the Chocolate Decadence. It not only tastes great (and I’m not really a huge chocolate fan), it also provides you with the antioxidant benefits from 70 per cent cocoa (dark chocolate)!
Each Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bar is a unique, delicious blend of all-natural, raw, organic and enzymatically-active plant-based super foods including sprouted buckwheat, sprouted almonds, acai, Salba and hemp seeds.

Video Review: Ayala’s Herbal Water
I find it always shocking when I hear people say they “hate the taste of water”. I mean what is there to hate? Water is tasteless.
I’m equally confused when people say to me they drink pop or fruit juice when they are thirsty. I do enjoy a glass of fresh juice, but I assure you that when I’m dying of thirst, NOTHING (I mean, nothing!) quenches my thirst like water.
Water is also one of the best “diet secrets” there is!
Why? Because water is essential for your organs and essential in helping your body flush toxins (trapped toxins are the perfect festering ground to trap fat inside your body). If you replaced a couple of cans of pop each day with the equivalent in water, you’d lose weight without even trying!
A few years ago a few companies came out with these flavoured waters that were sweetened with artificial sweeters. The idea was that by sweetening water, manufacturers were bringing the taste closer to what most North Americans were used to drinking – sweetened drinks.

Video Review: How to choose healthy cereals (part 1)
Not all cereals are created equally!
I know that healthy cereals are much more expensive than conventional cereals, but in my book they are well worth it.
I’ve decided to do video reviews on all the healthy cereals I buy to let you know which ones I liked and which ones I didn’t.
We all have different tastes, but it’s always good to hear from someone else if something is worth buying or not.
Here’s part 1 of ‘How to choose healthy cereals’:

Quizz: Are you still buying as much organic food as before the recession?
As must know the organic food movement has been HUGE for a sold decade now.
The organic movement has been so strong because consumers are more in touch with what they eat and how it’s cultivated. Contrarily to conventional faming, organic farming strictly limits the use of artificial chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Antibiotics for animals are kept to an absolute minimum. Instead organic farming emphasizes farming methods such as crop rotation to keep the soil healthy and natural pest-control systems. Genetically modified crops are forbidden. Organic bodies also demand more space for animals and higher welfare standards.
The organic movement went from a grass route movement to a commercial movement since now you can buy StonyField Farm Organic products at Wal-Mart (the big daddy of conventionalism)!
In the past few years, the sale of organic foods has become equivalent to several billion dollars each year in countries like the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Australia. In the U.S. alone organic foods accounted for (before the financial crash) 3.5 per cent of U.S. food sales in 2008!
