Hi Everyone!
Yes, I am back with my weekly product review! I know, I know, it took me a while - but here we go!
At this blog, I review products that claim to be green, healthy, organic, vegan, or vegetarian on their packaging.
1. Fantastic World Foods "Vegetarian Sloppy Joe"
4 Stars!
Great flavorful meal, quick and easy to prepare, and it is vegan. All you have to add is water and tomato paste, so it is convenient too. The only downfall of this product is, it is too spicy for my kids. This is definitely a grown-up food. So if you like sloppy-Joe's and want a healthy, yet spicy variety, go for it. Available in most grocery stores.
2. Arnold Select Sandwich Thins - Multi-grain
5 Stars!
Perfect, thin buns with a great multi-grain flavor without all that puffiness of regular buns. Great for the sloppy Joe's above or any sandwich! Great buy!
3. Silk Creamer "French Vanilla"
5 Stars!
I love flavored creamers - and I love this one even more, considering that is soy-milk-based! Finally an non-dairy coffee-creamer I can feel good about. For those who are not used to soy-milk, this product is thinner then a regular creamer, as most soy-milk products are. But it adds great flavor to your cup of coffee!
4. Gardenburger "Mama Mia Meatballs"
5 Stars!
These little soy "meat"-balls are delicious, easy and fast to prepare, for those days when you are in a hurry, and still want quality. Non-Vegan. Available at most grocery stores.
5. Morning Star Farms "Chick Patties Original"
5 Stars!
100 % Vegetarian
When everyone else is eating chicken sandwiches, you can chow down on the healthier alternative! Convenience that will curb your cravings and temptations for the real thing. Quick, easy lunch! Great! Non-Vegan.
I will be back next week with some more morsels I have discovered along the way. Have a great, and delicious week!
Blessed Be!
Claudia

Food Reviews - New Things to Try Out!
Hi Everyone!
Again, it is time to review some products! As always, these food products fall under the one or more of the following categories:
1. They are considered healthy.
2. They are labeled as healthy in some form on the package
3. They are labeled as whole-grain.
4. They are labeled as organic.
Here are the products:
Triscuit Rosemary and Olive Oil Whole Grain Wheat Crackers
3 1/2 Stars! Okay, they do not have the same texture, then "normal" crackers, it is more in texture like cereal, but the flavor is good. So, if you are adventurous, feel free to try these crackers.
Celestial Seasonings "true blueberry" herbal tea, caffeine free
5 Stars! Yummy! This is a great tea to relax to and wind down with! I love the strong flavor, and it's scent is also delicious. Love it!
Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal with real Strawberry
5 Stars! Smells nice, taste great, what is not to love. I like the iron contest 45 % (got a growing daughter at home! Iron is important!) Overall a good thing!
Picksweet Deluxe Steamers Edamame Soybeans in the Shell!
5 Stars! A great snack, or a crunchy addition to a healthy salad, with lots of fiber and in an easy to prepare steam bag, these little things are a stable in my kitchen.
Okay, now you have a few more products to try out! Have fun being adventurous, and step a little outside of your usual "eating box"!
Have a great day!

More Product Reviews - Eating Healthy and Enjoying it Too!
Hi Everyone!
Today, I am back to post a few more food product reviews for you!
As always, for the products to be featured here, they have to fall under one or more categories:
> indicate on the package that the product is a healthy choice
> made with whole-grain
> is organic
This week we had a huge Quaker product sale, so here are a few of the products we tried as a result:
Quaker Simple Harvest All Natural Instant Multigrain Cereal:
Apple with Cinamon: 5 Stars! My daughter loves the sutle flavor of this cereal. If you are used to oatmeal, the texture is completly different. The barley, wheat and oat combination is great!
Vanilla, Almond, Honey: 5 Stars! If you like almonds and vanilla, you are in for a treat! Alone the way the cereal smells when it cooks in the microwave is wonderful! My favorite!
Quaker Granola Chocolate Bites
5 Stars!
Okay, at first, when I saw the little round things, I wasn't going to try them, but I am glad, I did! The flavor is really nice chocolaty, and the serving size is perfect.
Quaker Honey Nut Chewy Granola Bars
4 Stars!
While I prefer the Kashi bars, this granola bar is nice. For 90 Calories, this makes a smart snack. Sweet, and has a nice texture! Go for it!
Have fun trying these products!
Have a wonderful day!

Healthy Eating - Product Reviews
Hi Everyone!
It is time again, to try out some new foods! I found some really good things over the last few days, so let me share my experiences with you!
Again, a reminder, that all the products listed here, have to follow under the following categories:
1. Be organic
2. Indicated that they are healthier choices on their packaging,
3. Are whole-grain
4. If non-food idem, they have to be a "green"product.
Here is my list:
1. Nutri Grain Whole Wheat Eggo Pancakes
4 Stars!
Nice flavor, I can not tell the difference between them, and the regular ones, but what I do not like, is what they consider one serving : 3 Pancakes? That is a large serving, and promotes overeating!
I recommend eat one of them, top it with fruit, applesauce or yogurt and you have yourself a great breakfast!
2. Breakstone Reduced Fat Sour Cream
5 Stars!
I can not tell the difference between to original and the reduced fat one. I am sticking with the reduced fat version from now on!
3. Ken's Lite Accents Balsamic Vinaigrette Spritzer
5 Stars!
This is my favorite product of this month! Wonderful flavor, only 1 Calorie per Serving, makes eating a salad an culinary experience. I had everyone in my family try it out, and they all agree, even the kids! It is a winner!
4. Oatmeal to go from Quaker Brown Sugar Cinnamon
4 Stars.
Okay, I will not eat those things for breakfast, but as an alternative to a regular cookie or another sweet snack, when I need something to hold me over between meals, it is really good! It has allot of calories per serving, and each square is pretty large, so my daughter and I usually share one. So if you are watching your calorie intake precede with caution. Flavor is great, if you like it sweet! Nice, dense consistency.
That is all for this time! I am hoping you have enjoyed my review. If you have any special products, you would like me to try, and they fall into my categories, please feel free to contact me!
Have a wonderful day!

Poduct Reviews! Let's be Adventures and Try Something New!
Hi Everyone!
I get a thrill out of discovering new ways of doing things, and new ways of staying healthy, and sharing what I found out! So, here are a few products that I have tried recently. All of them have to follow under one of the following categories to be listed here:
a) Indicate that they are healthy, in one form or another on the package.
b) Are organic
c) Are whole grain products
d) Are environmental friendly
Here is the list:
1. DiGorno Harvest Wheat Supreme Pizza
5 Stars!
Very good pizza, if you do like a thicker crust (that is why I end up getting three different pizzas in my house on pizza night, we all disagree on the crust thickness).
2. Wheat Thins Multi Grain
5 Stars!
These crackers are great! The crunch and flavor is perfect for substituting chips in a snack attack, and they are versatile. Get creative! Satisfying!
3. 100 Calorie Pack Chips Ahoy Chewy Cereal Bars
4 Stars!
I prefer the Quaker version of the chocolate chip bars (90 calorie version). Still, not bad.
Here is a non-food idem:
4. Basic H2 from Shaklee (concentrated multi-purpose cleaner)
5 Stars!
Okay Oprah is right! I have first been made curious about this product, watching Oprah, and she was all exited. Now I am as well. Shaklee products are all environmentally friendly, and are worth their price! They even offer free samples!
Here is a link: http://shaklee.net/rj_peralta. Check it out!
(for more info, I posted a link to the right, where you can watch Oprah getting all exited about a cleaner! Worth watching! Very entertaining!)
Hope you are having as much fun, trying out the new stuff, as I had sharing this info with you!
Have a wonderful, happy, balanced day!

We have tested new products, which I wanted to share with you.
As always, products featured here, have to indicate in some form to be healthy, or be a product used to enhance your well-being.
Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Instant Brown Rice
Yes! My favorite rice at the moment (and I am loyal), whole grain, fast, and easy, it does not get any better then this for a busy family! Tastes yummy
5 Stars!
Quaker Mini Delights Buttered Popcorn
This 90 Calorie Pack is my daughters favorite! She really enjoys it's buttery taste, while I am not to crazy about it (looks like a miniature rice cake to me). But kids seem to like it, it beats salty, greasy chips anytime!
4 Stars!
Mestermacher Sunflower Seed Bread
Wow, I am impressed. This bread makes a great sandwich, with any cold cut or cheese, delicious! It is kosher, high in fiber, wheat free, and has no preservatives!
5 Stars!
I also wanted to include this great CD I came across!
Robert Morgen's Easy Introduction to Meditation
This CD is a great gift for anyone who is interested in meditation. Pleasantly guided meditations are a wonderful introduction into a regular practice.

Time for a Product Review -Post
Hi Everybody!
I hope everyone has had a productive, joyfull time co-creating your life expieriences, becoming balanced and are reaching toward your goals!
Today, I want to review a few more new products, I have discovered recently.
Feel free to share your thoughts, as always!
If you are not familiar with the principle of co-creation, check out the link to my website, where I offer a free course about the "Basics of Law of Attraction", which explains the process of co-creation.
But now to the products!
1. Baked Breakfast Cookies Oatmeal Chocolate Chip from Quaker 4 Stars
What originally attracted me to this product is the high iron and calcium content. It is a little sweet, I like it better warm, and I would not necessary eat it for breakfast, but as a healthy alternative to a sweet cookie with coffee in the afternoon, I can defenetly recommend it! Try it!
2. Kretschmer Honey Crunch Wheat Germ 5 Stars!
I defently recommend this product, as well as the regular flavored variety to become a stable in your pantry! As a good source of Vitamin E and Folic Acid, it can be added to homemade cookies, cereals, homemade breads, or also to the breading and coating of chicken and fish! Your kids and spouse will not know the difference!
3. Back to Nature Chewy Trail Mix Bars Cherry Pecan 3 Stars
We all agreed in our family, that this was not a hit with us. While I do not like the flavor of a slight resemblense of Marzipan, my daughter felt the cherry was overpowering the whole bars flavor. Use your own judgment at this one!
4. Snapple White Tea unsweetend Tea bags "Strawberry" 5 Stars!
Warm and cold a hit with the kids! Infused with real juice, this tea is comforting, exspecially around this time of the year! Steep for 2 - 3 minutes.
I hope you enjoyed the review, as much as we enjoyed as a family to try out new products.
Peace and Love

Product Reviews - Good For You, But How Does It Taste? Chapter Three
Here I am back, trying out new foods that are good for you on a regular basis, which makes our snack times interesting! How fun is it to stay healthy, while discovering new favorites and sharing them with you!
Here are some of them now:
Garden Harvest Toasted Chips (Nabisco Company)
Vegetable Medley Flavors 5 Stars! We love this flavor of the Garden Harvest Chips! Crunchy like a cracker, but flavorful, it satisfies the craving for chips anyday!
Banana and Apple Cinnamon Flavors 3 Stars! I had a hard time with banana or apple flavored crackers, this might be something for the more adventures person, but for our family it is not our favorite, but it isn't too bad either!
Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax Chewy Granola Bars 5 Stars! Absolutly wonderful, not too crunchy, despite the large pieces of almonds, and just the right sweetness. My daughter absolutly loves it, and so do I! I can hardly wait for the other flavors.
Here is something I usually do not do, but I felt compelled to include a non-food idem today, that is worth mentioning:
seventh Generation Automatic Dishwashing Gel, lemon scent
5 Stars! This non-toxic, biodegradable gel works just as well as it's regular counterparts, but with a price that is the same,the availability in regular grocery stores and the benefits to the enviroment, it is the only dishwashing gel, that we use in our home. A wonderful idea, that smells refreshingly clean.
