Friday Finds!

Hey there! I've decided to share a few products, services, podcasts, etc. that I've been enjoying lately!

First up is a practical one: Yes to Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Wipes (can be found at Target)

I don't know about you, but when I go to the gym (especially if I hit the StairMaster or bike!), I get SWEATY. I had bought some cheap facial cleansing wipes from the Dollar Tree but they just weren't cutting it. I felt like I might as well be using a dampened paper towel. I've also recently been breaking out in little bumps on my face so I decided to try something different. I haven't been using these long but they feel really good on my skin. They have cucumber, aloe vera, and other natural ingredients to cleanse and nourish your skin. I'm hoping the breakouts will stop!

Workout Apparel: Kitty Gains

Who here is addicted to buying workout clothes? I'm guilty. I just recently got a Kitty Gains crop top to workout in. It says "Purrfect Form". They have a ton of fun tops with different sayings and other cute apparel as well. Check them out: Kitty Gains








Next up is a new-to-me podcast: Girls Gone WOD Podcast

I've been listening to the Mind Pump Podcast for a while now and they recently did an episode featuring Joy and Claire from the Girls Gone WOD Podcast. I started listening and I might be hooked. They are very down to earth, relatable, fun and easy to listen to. They do Crossfit (thus, the WOD) but you don't have to do Crossfit to enjoy listening to them. They tackle real life subjects like anxiety, nutrition, and more. Give them a listen! Girls Gone WOD Podcast

Healthy Helper's Savory Banana Flour Breakfast Bread

I saw this originally on Instagram and was immediately intrigued. You may already know my love of NuNaturals products, and this recipe utilizes their Banana Flour. It's a flour made from green starchy bananas (i.e. not sweet). It's high in Prebiotic R2 Resistant Starch which helps grow probiotics. It's gluten free, has 3g of fiber per serving and 330mg of potassium. I happen to have some on hand so I'm excited to try this savory bread recipe! I need to get my hands on that Everything Bagel Seasoning from Trader Joe's! I think this bread would be great with some cream cheese spread on top! Yum!

What are your current obsessions, interests, and finds?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
