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’:

I quickly thought of moving permanently to Seattle when I found out about this!

Yes, you’ve read this correctly, $5 groceries!

Raw almonds and unpasteurized honey is my new favourite snack combo
I’d love to say this idea was intentional, but it really wasn’t.
It was simply my desire to get rid of a container of honey.
I quite enjoy honey on my muffins and I found myself with very little left so I decided to scrape the top of the container of honey with a few almonds.
It never occurred to me that this simple and innocent action would result in one of my favourite current snacks!

Review: Healthy & tasty cereals!
Who says healthy cereals don’t taste good? From the speed at which I ate the follow two healthy cereals, I’d beg to differ.
I’m always looking for new cereals because I’m not one to eat the same thing over and over again. I like as much variety in my cereal as I do with my jam.
I tried two new cereals that are really good and the list of ingredients is irreproachable:
