I found out about Chobani from a bunch of food/fitness blogs that I read and I must say, Chobani absolutely rocks! I got a response from them with the quickness and they sent the yogurt when they said they were going to, which was the day after I heard from them!

Chobani was nice enough to send me a bunch of different flavors to try.  My first taste of Chobani was the Strawberry flavor.

The yogurt is really smooth and creamy and really yummy.  There is some sugar in the yogurt, but is 0% fat free. If you ever tried Fage yogurt, it’s kind of the same texture, but in my opinion, Chobani isn’t as thick, which I like.  I also tried the Apricot flavor, and I love that one, so far.  I still have more flavors to try!

The nice people at EAS Myoplex sent me this a few weeks back, and I have too much food in my house and only got a chance to try this stuff recently. I really enjoyed the bars, but the drink was a bit too much for my taste. To each his own, I guess. If you’re kind of hungry and you’re about to work out, the bars are a great power booster, and has a blend of high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

I tried a couple bars over the weekend, Balance Bar in Honey Peanut and the Larabar in Chocolate Coconut Chew and both are yum. I enjoyed the Balance Bar the most. It tastes like a candy bar! The Balance Bars have 9g of protein and wholesome ingredients. There are a bunch of different types and a variety of flavors!

The Larabar has an interesting combination of Fruit and Nut, and Coconut, and to be honest I wanted to enjoy this one more. Each bar has 1 serving of fruit, no sugar and each flavor has no more than 6 ingredients. Larabar has a bunch of different flavors which I am looking forward to trying though!

Can you believe all these pictures were taken with my iPhone? 

Each of these bars have the following:

• Made with real fruit + 17 vitamins & minerals
• No artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or preservatives
• 6 grams of high-quality protein
• Fruit C2 MAX optimized carb blend with the same ratio of glucose to fructose proven to deliver more energy

I like the fact the Electrolyte mix is portable and easily made with a bottle of water.  I’m love anything that puts some flavor in my usual water… so it’s great, especially when I’m doing a tough workout!

It’s amazing how many products PowerBar has come up with to help rev up your energy when you’re on the go.  Thanks again PowerBar!

I had a pretty good day as far as eating healthy is concerned.  For breakfast I had a piece of organic honey wheat toast with almond butter spread, which by the way is really good!  I’ve never tried it before, but now I’m hooked!  I also had some cut up strawberries and my Teavana Roobios Mate Chai tea.  I brought some light snacks such as organic cheddar cheese cut up in small cubes with some everything toasted flatbread.  For lunch I had a cut up banana and a piece of toast with almond butter spread.  I was surprised that I wasn’t starving soon after that, like I usually am after eating lunch.

After I got out of work I went to Greenwise Market, which is pretty much like a Whole Foods.  If you’re a Floridian, you will notice it’s part of the Publix supermarket chain.  The store had just opened a few weeks ago and I’ve been back and forth pretty often for the past few days because I’ve become a food geek!  I picked up some food for the next couple day’s lunch.  I love trying new healthy, organic foods, and I’m looking forward to trying everything I bought.

Here’s a picture of my purchases:

Organic Soups: Butternut Squash & Creamy Tomato, a sweet potato (planning to make sweet potato mashed potatoes), Amy’s Pizza, Fage Yogurt and Honey

Feel free to suggest any foods you think I should try out!

I also have a pretty cool giveaway that I’m going to be revealing soon, so keep checking back!

My opinion: Nope.  When it comes to candy such as mint Life Savers or Werther’s Butterscotch candy in sugar free form, I’m the type of person who can’t help but have more than one piece.  In sugar free form, too many of these candies can make your stomach feel not so good, and you find yourself going to the bathroom.  So after that experience, I will probably stay clear of sugar free candy, except maybe sugar free gum, since you’re chewing flavor and not consuming it.

For me, as for candy, I’ll have dark chocolate from time to time, since it’s known to help lower blood pressure and is loaded with antioxidants to prevent heart disease.  At first I wasn’t too fond of it, but as I got older, I started to appreciate it more.
