Just Mayo

Just Mayo is often referred to as “the joy on your sandwich” but this innovative and delicious new mayo is also a technological breakthrough product likely to become the mayo of the 21st century because instead of eggs, Just Mayo relies on pea protein from a plant. Made by Hampton Creek Foods of San Francisco with the financial backing of some heavy hitters including Bill Gates and Peter Thiel, Just Mayo has four major attributes: taste, nutrition, sustainability, and affordability.

Made in Nature Pineapple

Made in Nature Pineapples are grown on organic farms in the rich and fertile volcanic valley above the cloud forests in Costa Rica. Moist and chewy with the bold flavor of the tropics in which the pineapples are grown, Made in Nature Pineapple has one ingredient: organic dried pineapple pieces.

Naturally sweet with no added sweeteners, preservatives, or artificial colors, the dried unsulfured bite-sized golden pineapple morsels are simply delicious. One bite (which is hard to do because the pineapple is addicting) of this wholesome and nutritious fruit will convince you that Made in Nature makes the best dried pineapple on the market.

Siggi’s Yogurt Tubes

Siggi’s of yogurt fame has been making Icelandic style yogurt for nearly a decade using milk from local dairies in upstate New York who do not inject growth hormones into their cows. Icelandic style yogurt or skyr is made by incubating skim milk with live active cultures and then straining the mixture to make a much thicker, creamier and concentrated yogurt. Naturally fat-free, the yogurt is either left as is to make fat-free yogurt or blended with pasteurized cream to make a 2% yogurt that is referred to as rjóma-skyr or cream-skyr yogurt.  Read more »

Single Serve Nuttzo Packets

For quite some time, fans of Nuttzo have been waiting for the company to start selling single serve packets of their super delicious and incredibly nutritious nut and seed spread. Made of seven organic nuts and roasted seeds with a touch of sea salt, the Original, Peanut Free, and the Dark Chocolate Nuttzo have only been available in 16 ounce jars, which are great for home use but impractical for travel or as a to-go snack.  So, when the company recently announced the roll out of single serve packets, Nuttzo fans (or Nuttzo fanatics as we are referred to) rejoiced.

Seedsters

Seedsters are sprouted seed snacks made from organic sprouted flax, chia, and sunflower seeds:  three seeds packed with protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Conceived and manufactured by Doctor in the Kitchen out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Seedsters are organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, raw, and nut-free. Crunchy and delicious, Seedsters can be sweet, savory,  or a little bit of both depending  on the variety:  Cinnamon and Currants (my favorite), Sea Salt and Black Pepper, Sweet Onion and Garlic, and Sweet and Smoky Barbecue.

Organic Raw Kombucha

Some people have a diet coke habit; I have a Kombucha habit. Rarely a day goes by when I don’t drink a 16-ounce bottle of GT’s Enlightened Organic Raw Kombucha:  a slightly effervescent fermented tea. Light and smooth, Original flavor (my favorite) is filled with vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Folate), probiotics, and antioxidants – and, at only 60 calories per bottle, GT’s Enlightened Organic Raw Kombucha Original has only 4 grams of sugar and 20 mg of sodium per bottle. Vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, GT’s Enlightened Organic Raw Kombucha is refreshingly different from any other bottled drink on the market.

Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker

Talk to any professional pizza maker and he will tell you there are two secrets to making a great pizza:  the crust and the right oven. Crust is subjective with most people preferring one made of white flour although whole wheat and whole grain doughs are gaining in popularity. And, then there is the type of crust: thin, Neapolitan, Pan, New York Style, Sicilian, and more to consider. But, no matter what kind or type of crust is preferred, the pizza can never be cooked properly unless the right oven is used which makes pizza making quite difficult at home….until now.

The Sumo Citrus Orange

A Sumo Citrus Orange is quite possibly the sweetest orange you will ever taste. Seedless, full of flavor, and easy to peel, the Sumo Citrus Orange is everything the Clementine seemed to promise but couldn’t deliver.

It all started with a citrus grower in Japan who wanted to combine the best attributes of two types of oranges: the easy to peel Satsuma of Japan and the big, juicy, sweet oranges of California. For years, this hybrid orange was only grown in Japan and Korea but a group of farmers in Central Valley, California – the 450 mile long, 50 mile wide large flat valley – realized this huge agricultural garden is the ideal place to grow one of the world’s best citrus fruits.

The Perfect Long Sleeve Tee

There are certain products that women are always on the hunt for: the perfect pocketbook, the perfect pair of shoes, and the perfect long sleeve tee. I’m still searching for the purse and shoes but I finally found the perfect long-sleeve tee after years of trying nearly every cotton tee on the market including Three Dot, Splendid, Petit Bateau, James Perse, Ralph Lauren, J Crew, Gap, Banana Republic, and more. Made by Hanro of Switzerland, the Fine Line Long Sleeve Shirt with a rounded neckline is a tailored double-rib knit blend of mercerized cotton (94%) and elastane (6%) that gives the shirt a stylish, flattering stretch that never loses its shape.

Dark Chocolate Covered Dried Mangos

One of our favorite places to eat lunch or dinner in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida is Christopher’s Kitchen – a   restaurant whose mission is to serve high quality, organic plant-based food. Fresh squeezed raw cold-pressed juices, nut milks, salads, veggie burgers, rustic pizzas, tacos, burritos, bowls, noodles and more are served at this casual, light-filled restaurant.

Christopher’s Kitchen also offers a wide variety of homemade desserts including dark chocolate covered mango, which is decadent and delicious: chewy, dried mango slices covered in rich dark chocolate. At $4 an ounce (or $64 per pound), the dark chocolate covered mangos at Christopher’s Kitchen are expensive so I decided to make this treat myself – a super, easy task that brings the cost down to about $11 a pound using premium dark chocolate and dried mangos).
