Alive & Radiant – Products Worth Reviewing

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a certain food, then you’ll know how hard it can be to resist eating it. That’s exactly what happened when we tried Alive & Radiant’s Tarragon Dijon Kale Chips. I can honestly say, that I’ve never had kale chips as delicious and enticing as Alive & Radiant’s Kale chips. Between my son and I, we devoured the entire bag in one sitting – and still had some crumbles left in the bag that I poured out and gloriously polished them off. Yes, they were that good! I’m not much of a kale eater, but I do eat them once in awhile in a salad or in soups but as kale chips, they are delightfully unique and satisfying.

The vegetable Kale itself is considered a power food. Why? Because kale contains various nutritional benefits including Vitamins A,C, and K; minerals such as Calcium, Iron, and Manganese; certain amounts of Omega’s; and because of it’s cruciferous family, Kale has been studied to prevent certain types of cancer. Kale itself hasn’t been very popular throughout the years mainly because most people don’t know what to do with it. The best way of getting its full nutritional potential is eating it raw ofcourse, but that can be very difficult because of it’s slightly bitter and chewy texture. So several ways of eating it and still getting the nutritional benefits are boiling it slightly and eating it as a salad, stir-frying it with other veggies, and of  course, eating it as raw kale chips. At Alive & Radiant, they dehydrate their Kale chips at low temperatures to keep it in it’s “raw” form so that they still retain their nutritional content. But if you’re thinking raw chips sounds strange, well, you haven’t tried Alive & Radiant Kale chips then.

 

Alive & Radiant Kale chips are so incredibly unique and delicious that you’ll wonder why you even bother eating anything else. Their Kale chips contain very little ingredients, but its what those ingredients are that really makes these Kale chips stand out. At Alive & Radiant, they use cashews and sesame seeds for that unique and delicate crunch and with each flavor profile, you get a distinctive flavor and texture. Our favorite is the Tarragon Dijon flavor as well as the Southwest Ranch flavor. Both of them are slightly tangy with a hint of sweetness. We were able to try all of their flavors and we could see how much love and inspiration were put into the flavors of each variety. Currently, Alive & Radiant’s Kale Chips come in the following flavors: Cheezy Chipotle (which has quite a kick to it), Tarragon Dijon, Quite Cheezy, Southwest Ranch, Spirulina Orange Creamsicle (this one is definitely different from all others), and Chockalet Chip. Yes, chocolate flavored kale chips! You wouldn’t believe the extraordinary taste to this flavor – very chocolately but not overwhelmingly sweet. My son said it was strange to have chocolate kale chips, but he found it quite delightful in that the kale chips were both sweet and a bit savory.

 

Alive & Radiant is a division of Kaia Foods who also produces natural sprouted sunflower and pumpkin seeds, “raw” cookies which are moist and chewy, and buckwheat granolas. At Kaia Foods and Alive & Radiant, they believe that providing good nutrition in the most natural way is a healthier way of living. Therefore, their foods are made from scratch using the finest organic ingredients, dehydrated, and no artificial anything. With their simple, “sprout, mix, and dehydrate” system, their foods maintain their natural nutritional value and with their Kale chips, the flavors are enticingly addicting. We honestly couldn’t stop eating the Kale chips and with them being so much healthier than regular fried potato chips, there weren’t too much guilt after polishing off an entire bag. I think Alive & Radiant Kale chips are great for people of any age and their super crunchy texture makes it fun to eat as well. We even sprinkled some on top of our salads as well as placed them inside our sandwiches. I think the Kale chips are great eaten as is, but with such intense and unique flavors, you can probably find other uses for them as well. Alive & Radiant Kale chips are also gluten-free and perfect for Vegans and if you’re looking for a new Raw diet, you won’t be disappointed with Alive & Radiant’s Kale chips.

The lovely folks at Alive & Radiant had generously sent me all of their six flavors to try and review. Since we started enjoying the taste and benefits of Kale several months ago, we were really delighted that Alive & Radiant’s Kale chips offered a different way of eating raw kale. For those of you who want to venture out of the potato chips era, try giving Alive & Radiant’s Kale chips a chance – you won’t be disappointed. Currently you can find Alive & Radiant products at natural grocery stores, including Whole Foods Market.

The Wonders of Gardening – Teaching your kids to enjoy it.

Gardening should be enjoyed by everyone. It’s a lot of fun, you get to be creative, and you’re outside enjoying the fresh air. Children specifically should learn at an early age about gardening as it will teach them about life, creativity, and give them much needed Vitamin D from the beautiful sun. Any one of any age can garden as long as you have a love for something unique, beautiful, and exquisite. Young children can develop a love of gardening as early as they can crawl. When my son was an infant, I used to have him sit outside with me in his little infant chair while I tended my garden. Although he probably didn’t know exactly what I was doing, I’m sure the experience of sitting outside in a relaxed environment with the fragrant flowers surrounding him evoked some kind of calming sensation. And that’s exactly what a garden should do – help you relax, feel calm, and recharge.

Gardening can also help the environment if you use eco-friendly products including pest control. I try to limit my use of pest-control on my plants regardless of it’s non-toxic ingredients by simply being diligent around my plants. I pluck the dried leaves and keep an eye on pests regularly. Being diligent around your garden can prevent many unwanted garden insects and help keep your hard-earned plants beautiful and thriving. Being an eco-friendly gardner can also teach your children about our precious ecosystem and help them learn to be more environmentally responsible in the future when they have their own gardens to take care. A good way to start is by using organic soil (for both potted and ground plants), buying plants that are insect and mold resistant, and using natural, non-toxic pest control when necessary. A good company that makes non-toxic pest control is EcoSMART (http://www.ecosmart.com/). I have a gardening friend who also once suggested making my own non-toxic pest control formulas. She suggested natural, non-toxic dishwashing detergent diluted with water as an option as well as garlic spray and lavender blends. I also read that planting certain plants around your more pest-susceptible flowers such as marigolds and garlic can prevent pests from going near that designated area. But regardless of what you do to maintain your garden, keep one rule in mind: if you use toxic pest control on the plants you eat, then skip that step and use something non-toxic. And remember that children are endlessly curious – keep them safe around any toxic pest control and toxic plants as well.

If you do plan on teaching your kids all about gardening,  then organic gardening is really the best way to garden. It helps the plants live longer and healthier, it’s healthier for the planet, and it’s more humane to the pestering insects. You can also try making your own compost: http://ext.homedepot.com/community/blog/sustainable-gardening-composting-made-easy/ which is more time-consuming, but you have greater control and satisfaction. Organic gardening is also less worrisome should your ever curious kids and pets wander into the garden without your knowledge. Ofcourse you don’t have to use organic soil for your plants, but it wouldn’t hurt either way.

Just the other day, my son and I were at Home Depot looking at their latest plants for the season. Although they don’t have as great a bounty as say, nurseries, Home Depot does keep a good supply of your regular, easy-to-plant varieties and their prices are a lot better. We picked up a few plants including marigolds, freesias, verbenas, and it was delightful to have my son ask me what that plant was or what this plant is as we walked around. His curiosity and desire to learn and grow plants just made it even more fun for us when we took our newly purchased flower plants home. Now, as our little garden is starting to fill up with flowers and herbs, he takes great joy and pride in watering them every day and tending to them; carefully plucking the dried leaves and buds and talking to them. Where he learned to talk to his plants, I’m not sure of – probably from watching TV, but it’s cute, nevertheless.

Some great plants for kids to grow and start learning about are herbs such as thyme, basil, mint, and so forth. Flowers such as calendula, roses, and lavender are also great choices but just be wary of the thorns on roses. And vegetables of any kind would be perfect as your children can watch them grow from seeds to seedlings, to blooming plants! So no matter which plants you choose to begin your gardening, just remember to choose seasonly when starting and let your children pick out some of their own too. And even better, if your child is old enough, designate a special section in the garden for his/her plants only and allow them to take care of it the proper way. The result will be bountiful for both your children and you!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Kids and the Importance of Brushing – No need for ouchies!

We all learn at an early age that our teeth is one of the most important part of our body. Our parents most likely enforced the rules of brushing our teeths early on and bought us adorable toothbrushes with superheroes or princesses on the handles just to get us excited. But back when I was a kid, I had only the generic toothbrushes with the generic kids toothpaste – and I had to brush my teeth no matter what. And if I didn’t, then I’d bear the consequences – cavities. Nobody likes cavities and for a young child, it’s even more dramatically painful. But diligence and good habits can hopefully prevent those cavities from creeping in.

According to a report by the CDCP, (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_11/sr11_248.pdf) a growing increase of preschoolers needing extensive dental work has been seen across the country. That’s pretty scary and unnecessary in my opinion. But we can’t blame the parents entirely. After all, kids see commercials and advertisements of sugary snacks on a daily basis and the temptation is too hard to resist. We should be wary of too much sugar especially for little kids who may have a bad experience at the dentist the first time they have a cavity filled. We all want to protect our children and instilling good teeth brushing as well as eating healthy foods is extremely important.

We started on a teeth cleaning regimen for our son when he was an infant. The pediatrician recommended a swiping of the gums every day without any toothpaste. And as our son got older and his teeth started coming out, we brushed his teeth with a gentle toothbrush especially made for infants as well as wiping his gums. He didn’t like it at first – but then after a few times, he started to enjoy it. I made sure to massage his gums and teeth in a gentle, soothing motion and sang a song each time we did it. Of course he didn’t really understand why we were constantly brushing his teeth and gums but because we did it on a regular basis, it became a habit for him and now that he’s older he knows he has to brush his teeth at least twice a day and especially after a sugary snack. It may sound extreme, but I have a friend who has never had a cavity. Why? Because she brushed her teeth after every meal and limited her sugary snack intake. According to a recent article on Baby Center: http://blogs.babycenter.com/products_and_prizes/preschoolers-going-under-for-cavities-giveaway/, snacking and sugary juices and drinks are the main culprit. But as parents, it’s hard for us to resist giving a sugary treat to our kids, even on certain occassions. And we may even forget to brush their teeth now and then too. Sure we may feel guilty afterwards, but we can always regain our stand by telling our kids to go brush their teeth now! They won’t really understand the demand, but they’ll most likely thank you for it later.

It’s not always easy getting your kids to do what you want them to do, and brushing their teeth is probably their least favorite job. It’s hard for kids to understand the need to have healthy hygiene but if we’re already teaching them to wash their hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, etc., then brushing their teeth should be on the top list as well. I think it’s best to start as early as possible as with most habits. Babies and infants may not like the feel of someone’s fingers in their mouths, but if you do it gently and every day, then they’ll most likely get used to it. And as children get older, I think it’s even more important for them to get in the habit of eating and snacking on healthier foods. There are lots of healthier “sweet” snacks that are less damaging to your teeth such as apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, and so forth and some fruits and vegetables even have antibacterial properties which are important for every day total health.  And if you’re looking for toothpaste alternatives that do not contain sugar, preservatives, and any artificial flavors, then you might want to try natural toothpastes from companies such as Kiss My Face, Tom’s of Maine, and Branam.

We as parents should be the best role models for our children. After all, what happens when our kids are influenced by outside resources? We can only hope that the lessons we’ve taught our children early on and throughout their lives will teach them to make right choices and decisions.

Straus Family Creamery – Dairy never tasted so good! Products Worth Reviewing.

I have found a new reason to love dairy. The company responsible for this is Straus Family Creamery. I honestly have to say, I have never tasted milk or ice cream as delicious as the ones that come from Straus Family Creamery. They make a unique type of milk called “Cream Top” milk and it was my first time trying it – I was absolutely smitten! Their cream top milk tastes like real cream – smooth, sweet, and refreshing. In fact, if you let their cream top milk sit for awhile in the fridge, it develops a cream cloud that floats on top of the milk. Of course my curiousity got the better of me and I took a scoop of the cream on the top and let it slide into my mouth. Wow, it was just like tasting freshly-made whipped cream! I’m not sure I can ever go back to regular milk after tasting Straus Family Creamery’s milk.

Straus Family Creamery (http://strausfamilycreamery.com/) is a small dairy farm that makes only organic dairy products. They make a complete line of dairy products including ice-cream, butter, sour cream, and milk,  and they are extremely fresh and addicting. I say addicting because their ice-cream are rich and smooth and pack a whole lot of flavor and intensity and their milk and butter are super creamy and gives you a melt-in-the-mouth sensation. I only wish they would come out with more ice-cream flavors soon because we couldn’t stop eating their entire line of organic and natural ice-cream! With ice-cream flavors like Caramel Toffee Crunch, Dutch Chocolate, Rasberry, and Brown Sugar Banana, you get a great range of variety in flavors and textures. And since all of their ice-creams and other products are made with only organic and natural ingredients, you’re doing your body something good as well.

Straus Family Creamery began over 60 years ago as a small, family-owned dairy farm in San Francisco. With their love and passion in environmental and ethical stewardships, they promised to provide the best-tasting and most authentic organic dairy products possible. Their dairy farms are all organically-sustained and their dedication in providing the best dairy products has won them many awards and accolades. It takes a lot of determination as well as patience to own a complete certified organic dairy farm but that didn’t stop the Straus Family in deciding to do so. As traditional farmers, they wanted to provide unique and superb-quality dairy products not only to their customers, but to their own family and friends as well. And I can honestly say that if you were to taste their milk or ice-cream, you’ll fall in love at first taste too.

You can definitely tell the love Straus Family has for their dairy cows and their farmland – it’s evident in the quality of their products. And that theory rings true for almost anything. If you take care of your farm and your animals, they’ll be happier and produce better for you. We love dairy in our house because of the versatility of it but with so many conventional dairy products out on the market, they are indeed inferior to the quality and taste of Straus Family Creamery. Try it for yourself and you’ll know what I mean. Their products can be found at mostly natural grocery stores and their adorable image of their cow on their logo won’t make it hard to find. Their current lineup of products are: Cream-Top Milk, Ice Cream, Yogurt, Butter, Barista Milk (which is specially formulated for coffee drinks), and Sour Cream. And they have traditional flavors such as Plain Yogurt, Maple Yogurt, European Style Butter, as well as Whole Milk, and so forth.

When Straus Family Creamery had sent me some product coupons to pick up my own varieties and flavor, my son and I couldn’t decide which to buy first. Of course, since we love ice cream and milk, we picked up their Cream-Top milk and Dutch Chocolate Ice Cream. Their Cream-Top milk comes in actual glass and it’s fun to pour them like traditional milk used to be kept in. Their Dutch Chocolate Ice Cream was packed with intense cocoa flavor and it was extremely smooth and satisfying. Then we tried their butter, and found it to be quite light and airy and easy to spread as long as you don’t keep it in the fridge for too long. And although their ice-cream comes in pints not quarts, it was almost too easy to polish off the entire carton in one sitting. And as mentioned earlier, I hope one day they’ll come out with more ice cream flavors because their ice-creams are definitely worth stocking up on!

If you’re interested in learning more about Straus Family Dairy and their company and products, head on over to their website: http://strausfamilycreamery.com/. There you will find a ton of information and unique recipes from appetizers to desserts. And supporting smaller, family-runned farms that are also organically-sustained and grown will help not only yourself but the environment as well. And if you’re buying them for your children, organic dairy is the best way to go – no worries about dangerous pesticides or herbicides and all other sorts of junk in their dairy foods.

Unjunk Your Junk Food – A Book Review

People will often say, “hey, you can snack as long as you snack sensibly”. Yes, but what is “sensibly”? It could have different connotations to different people – some think little amounts of high fructose corn syrup is sensible. Well, certain things can be eaten in moderation but high fructose corn syrup certainly shouldn’t be one of them. In my own opinion, snacking should always be limited but if you are going to snack, then try to snack on foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, unprocessed cheese, yogurt, cereal, and so forth. But sometimes your body and your mind craves for something “junky”. After all, you see countless advertisements on chips, ice cream, cakes, and other similar products and your brain sends signals that make you crave those foods even more. So, in order to start snacking sensibly, you can train your brain to eat, buy, and learn about sensible snacks instead of craving the less healthier versions.

Common sense can pretty much tell you that foods ladened with saturated fat, artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oils, refined sugar, salt additives, and other similar ingredients can harm your body in the long run. Of course avoiding them altogether is a pretty hard feat to accomplish since we don’t always know what is added into foods that we buy in restaurants. However, you do have control over what you buy in grocery stores and what you put in your home. One new book that was recently published helps us define the meaning between healthier snacks and junk snacks. This book, ‘Unjunk Your Junk Food’, was written by the creators and founders of Naturally Savvy (http://www.naturallysavvy.com/), a website and company dedicated to providing people with intelligent knowledge about eating and being healthy. In the book, ‘Unjunk Your Junk Food’, the authors illustrate the difference between healthier snacks and unhealthy snacks. With beautiful images and clear-cut instructions and information, this book is your new go-to bible of healthier junk food eating.

As the author points out, ” Junk food, by its very definition, is not a substitute for a healthy meal, but if you don’t choose wisely, certain ingredients can actually make snacking hazardous to your health.” According to the book, hazardous ingredients are usually ingredients that are artificial, or man made. In the US, many artificial ingredients are used to replace real ingredients to lower cost and increase production. Certain hazardous ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup can actually elevate cholesterol levels in your body, elevate obesity and metabolic syndrome. And it’s highly addictive – most sugars are. The book also notes that reading ingredients and labels is crucial in gaining an upperhand in buying and eating healthier snacks. I was intrigued by the book the minute I received it and had actually anticipated reading it even before it was sold in stores. Each page clearly gives you the “bad” choice and the “good” choice when it comes to snacks and although not every single snack choice is listed in the book, it’s pretty detailed and complete.

As a Naturally Savvy blogger, I was given an advanced reader’s copy of Unjunk Your Junk Food and I was challenged by the authors to unjunk my own kitchen pantry and cupboards. Luckily for me, I had actually cleaned out my pantry and cupboards not too long ago and although I have tried to eat and purchase only foods that are natural and organic, it can get pretty hard and expensive at times. In one section of the book, titled ‘Worst Ingredients Chart’, the authors created a list of ingredients that should be strictly avoided such as BHA which is a toxic preservative,  Polysorbate 80 which is an emulsifier, and artifical colors like Yellow 5 and Red 40. Okay, so I was intrigued by Polysorbate 80 because you find them mostly in ice-cream and it’s pretty hard to avoid it unless you’re buying natural and organic ice-cream. But the book specifically warns of the ‘Scary Seven’ which are seven artificial ingredients that you find in a lot of unhealthy snacks and food. The ‘Scary Seven’ are:

HFCS: High-Fructose Corn Syrup (AKA glucose-fructose in Canada);
TRANS-FATS: Anything listed as ‘partially hydrogenated’ or ‘hydrogenated’ (includes vegetable shortening);
MSG: Monosodium glutamate;
ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS: Any artificial flavoring;
ARTIFICIAL COLORS: Any type of artificial dyes;
ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Chemical sweeteners including Aspartame, Splenda(sucralose), Ace-K (Acesulfame Potassium), Saccharine, etc.
PRESERVATIVES: Polysorbate 60, 65 & 80, TBHQ, Sodium Benzoate, BHA, BHT, Sulfur Dioxide (sulfites).

And they truly are scary because how can you possibly avoid them in this day and age? Well, my best advice and also the book’s advice is to read the labels and ingredients of every food you purchase. Be overly conscious of what you buy, especially for your children and for those with health issues. Our bodies are our own after all and if we don’t treat it right we might regret it later on. After I had cleaned out my kitchen pantry and cupboards, I went to our refridgerator and did the same. Of course I had found some unnatural ice-cream that my husband purchased not too long ago and although I’ve been touting the importance of buying natural ice-cream, the unnatural version somehow got smuggled in. But besides the ice-cream, we were pretty good on the natural and healthier snacks in our home.  And to be honest with you, I think naturally-made snacks are actually better tasting. So I encourage you to go through your own kitchen pantries, cupboards, and refridgerators to see if you have any hidden dangers in your food. Like I said, it’s pretty hard to avoid, but if you’re diligent on starting and continuing on eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, then throw away those bad stuff!

So if you’re looking for a wonderfully-written and extremely-informative book about how to eat and choose healthy foods and snacks, then you have to pick up a copy of ‘Unjunk Your Junk Food’. Currently, the book can be found at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, and several other online retailers. It retails around $18.00 which isn’t too expensive when you’re talking about saving your health and the health of your loved ones!
