eatKeenwa is a great snack for on the go. It’s chewy, crunchy, and satisfying! A serving is 6 nuggets that fits in your hand. Even two servings (or two handfuls) is a reasonable sized snack to keep you going. You’ll want to chew these well to savor the flavor. My favorite is the Cinnamon Banana Strawberry with chunks of dried banana and dried strawberries. The Walnut Date Agave is really tasty too with the delicious taste of walnut complimented by the dates and quinoa.

West Boca Green Market: Fresh + Local At It’s Best

/in , /by

Have you heard? There’s a new green market in West Boca! It’s open year round at the grounds of Olympia High School (just North of Glades on Lyons Road) every Sunday 8:30am – 2pm, rain or shine. I love green markets and this one is close by so I’ll be there a lot! If you are looking for farm fresh produce, a wide selection of foods, everything from breads, desserts, gluten free, paleo, vegan, coffee, tea, made to order juices, grilled foods. Eat there at the benches and tables for breakfast + lunch or take your food to go. They also sell a variety of crafts and jewelry.

Here is what I picked up on Sunday!

Farm Fresh Produce: non-GMO Corn Smile (YAY!), Georgia peaches, lemons/limes, organic blueberries.

Three Anns dried/unsweetened pineapple, raw goat’s milk feta, Dani’s Fun Food organic falafel (made fresh daily). Dani’s falafel are gluten free and taste great, he makes them fresh the day before. I also sampled the artichoke dip and wish I bought it, so that’s on my list for next time! Dani also makes a variety of hummus, all very fresh.

Raw Goat’s Milk Feta with Organic Blueberries

If you are into traditional ways of eating which includes raw dairy, you can find it at the West Boca Green Market. They also sell farm fresh eggs.

Raw dairy is popular to those who believe it’s best to consume dairy with all of it’s healthy bacteria and enzymes. Some people tolerate raw dairy very well and even thrive on it, while they cannot tolerate standard pasteurized dairy because all of the healthy bacteria and enzymes are killed during the pasteurization process. For more information, check out the Weston A. Price Foundation website and I also recommend reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon for more about traditional foods. She’s one of several expert teachers from my Health Coaching school, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Three Anns dried fruit made without any added sugar. There were several varieties to choose from including apple, peach, pear, pineapple, banana, sweet potato. I chose pineapple and really enjoyed it! Chewy and sweet, but not overly sweet like most dried fruits. I’ll be back for more and will definitely check out the other varieties too!

Healthy Halloween Treats For Ghosts and Ghouls!

/in /by

I love Halloween and trick or treating. Now that I’m a home owner, I get to give out the treats. This year I wanted to give out treats that weren’t full of corn syrup or GMO ingredients. I went to Whole Foods and found a few good options. Yum Earth Organic lollipops are made with Organic and non-GMO sweeteners as well as real fruit and veggies including, black carrots, black currants, apple, carrot, and pumpkin. I tasted one and it was really good, the sweetness was just right! Each pop contains 100% Vitamin C as well, bonus Smile!

The other treat I chose to give out was Annie’s Homegrown Halloween Bunny Grahams. I love Annie’s Homegrown and thought they were a great little treat, even healthy enough to pack in lunches. The first ingredient is Organic Whole Grain Wheat Flour along with graham and corn flour and organic sweeteners. All ingredients are non-GMO so this one was another winner in my book.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!! Enjoy the holiday safely Smile
