Perfect Foods Bar

A couple weeks ago I was at a store in Brentwood, TN, World Market and there was a woman handing out samples of a bar. I saw the Gluten-Free sign and immediately was interested. She began telling us the story of the how these bars came to be. When a father grew tired of trying to get his children to eat their vegetables and overall healthy proteins, he created this concoction of whole grain healthy nutrients filled with protein, fiber and all natural ingredients. The Perfect Foods Bars are truly amazing and simply delicious. I have tried many gluten-free bars and this by far is my favorite. There are five flavors, Almond Butter, Cranberry Crunch and Peanut Butter, Carob Chip and Fruit & Nut. I tried a couple that day at the store, but am able to try them all more in depth due to the kindness of the PFB Team because they sent me 12 bars to try (Almond, PB and Cranberry). Here is the first that I tried, Almond Butter.

The Almond Crunch not only was super tasty with whole rich products, such as almond pieces, rich almond butter, but also left me feeling full for longer than I have before with any bar, or breakfast for that matter. I highly recommend this bar for your breakfast, any meal really, to provide you with healthy nutrients, delicious flavor and overall satisfaction. You can order these online or at local stores, such as Whole Foods. http://www.perfectfoodsbar.com/

Healthy eating and the judgement that comes with it

As many of you I am sure have experienced, when choosing healthy food over 'common' food that people are used to, there can sometimes be judgement or a sense of being made fun of for choosing to be healthy. I will say that I am impressed with the growth that our country has taken over the years with eating healthy and taking control over what we put in our bodies, but it is a hurdle that is worth jumping over. Tonight I went to a seminar at Whole Foods Nashville, where I am participating in the Engine 2 Diet. I don't do diets, I choose lifestyles, but this 'diet' is one to really ignite the plant-based foods into your eating. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of people of all demographics coming together to try and better themselves. Tonight we had a speaker come in whom is an addictions counselor and is very knowledgable about food and additictions. She was telling us of her upbringing in Mississippi and the fat ladened foods in her home. She has since her childhood lost those behaviors and really helped others explore healthy options, lose weight and really helped others take ownership of their bodies. 

I encourage you to really be conscious of what you're putting in your body, but also what you are missing. It's a work in progress, but it will dramatically change your life. 

Engine 2 Diet

I have started a new journey with Whole Foods. The Engine 2 Diet. http://engine2diet.com/
This diet is not a 'diet' to lose weight, fit into that beach bikini, but it will give you those results. This program is designed to help introduce a plant-based diet and give you more energy, nutrients, proteins through a vegan menu. I encourage you to check out the website, as well as follow me on this journey in the coming month.
