Review & Giveaway: POP CHIPS

So, to continue on about the great time I had at the Bliss Spa Media Event

that I blogged about earlier, click HERE, I met another incredible lady

from Pop Chips. I expressed that Pop Chips has been the best chips I’ve ever

tasted, and I’m not a chip eater. If you haven’t tried or even seen Pop Chips in

your local stores, you’ve been sleeping!!!

While I was enjoying the vibes, Sara introduced me to Sweet Potato Pop Chips.

I really wasnt interested in trying it because my favorite Pop Chips WERE

Sea Salt and Vinegar.

WAS I WRONG!!!!

Sweet Potato is my new favorite flavor from Pop Chips and I don’t see myself

going back to any other flavor. Other flavors I’ve tried are Sour Cream and Onion,

Original and Barbeque. Those flavors taste’s so good but there is something

about the New Sweet Potato.

Now you must be thinking that snacking on chips is bad for your health. Well think again.

Pop Chips is all natural, which I’m a big fan of. They’re not fried or baked!!!

They start with wholesome potatoes, adding a little heat and pressure and

POP goes the Chip…and only 100 calories per bag!!!

Now for the Very GOOD PART

One of my lucky readers will receive a 6 month supply of Pop Chips.

Yes you’ve read it right!

All you have to do is follow directions in the box below and
one winner will be randomly chosen.

Good Luck and Happy Popping!

Review and Giveaway: Zico Pure Coconut Water

Back in January, I was invited to a media event at the beautiful Bliss Spa 

inside the W Hotel in South Beach, FL. As I was networking with some 

great folks, I met Nadia from Zico Coconut Water. She offered the chocolate coconut 

water for me to try and I politely said “I’ll stick with the Mango flavor.” 

This is when she invited me to try the Chocolate flavor……

Who would’ve believed that Chocolate Coconut water would taste so good?!?!?! 

It tastes something like Yoo-Hoo but refreshing and light.

Tasty Tips for Back-To-School from Kashi

In an effort to help parents this back-to-school season, Kashi, the premier natural food and lifestyle company, is teaming up with Domenica Catelli, chef/author of Mom-a-licious: Fresh, Fast, Family Food for the Hot Mama in You! , to inspire fellow moms and dads to pack lunches and snacks that not only offer great taste for their children, but also help meet nutrition needs. By offering a variety of kid-friendly foods, and by providing back-to-school tips, helpful articles, and tasty and wholesome recipes from Catelli, Kashi wants people of all ages to recognize that good taste and nutrition can go hand-in-hand.

Catelli offers the following simple suggestions to help prepare wholesome kids’ lunches:

-Freeze sandwiches so you’re ready to go with a week’s worth of lunches. All sandwiches can freeze and re-thaw perfectly (except for those with lettuce and tomato), and they can even double as an ice pack for a bit! Try peanut butter and jelly, almond butter and jelly, natural-roasted turkey and Swiss or brie, and hummus and cheddar cheese—to name a few favorites!

-If kids like to pack the same sandwich every day (and it’s a nutritious choice) that’s okay—just try switching their lunch up with a wholesome side snack (mix in red bell peppers to add variety to their baby carrots, try jicama sticks instead of potato chips, replace a candy bar with a Kashi ® TLC ® Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bar, etc.)

-Thermoses are your friend. You can put last night’s chili or pasta in one, or change things up and give your kids an antioxidant-packed smoothie for breakfast or hot, whole grain oatmeal for lunch on a cool day!

-No squishy fruit—kids might toss the smoosh. Save bananas for breakfast and try oranges, apples and frozen berries (in a solid container) in kids’ lunchboxes

-Read labels and look out for hydrogenated oils, synthetic colors, flavors and unnecessary preservatives. Toss the chips and try Kashi ® TLC ® Pita Crisps.

-Get natural, hormone-free deli meats at the counter instead of processed and pre-packaged lunch meats for kids’ sandwiches

-Always put something fresh in your child’s lunch. A piece of organic fruit or cut-up veggies with natural peanut butter, hummus or dip are all easy and tasty options

Kashi is also encouraging moms to take a 2-bite test with their kids by visiting www.kashi.com/kidfriendlyfoods and obtaining a free sample* of a Kashi TLC Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bar or Kashi ® Cinnamon Harvest ® cereal. Just a bite or two of Kashi’s tasty kid-friendly foods can help show kids that eating right can taste great. Beginning in September, www.kashi.com will also feature additional tips, recipes and family-friendly suggestions by Catelli to help parents throughout the back-to-school season.
