Friday Finds!

It's time for FRIDAY FINDS!

No time for chit chat - let's just get to the goods!


  • Skinny Dipped Almonds
These are *lightly* chocolate coated almonds I spotted at Target. They have a few flavors and are sold in small bags or large bags. I snagged a small bag in the dark chocolate espresso flavor. At first sight, I was disappointed because they looked more like chocolate dusted, however, upon eating them, I discovered it was, in fact, a light chocolate coating that melts in your mouth. I really liked them! I would buy them again! Check them out here: getskinnydipped.com.








  • Cozyna Air Fryer

I've yet to actually break this baby in but I purchased the Cozyna Air Fryer after much research and debate. It was on two separate lists for the best air fryers under $100, had good reviews and some nice features. It included a cookbook, dishwasher safe pieces, a toasting rack and skewers. I think I may try it out tonight! I purchased mine here:  amazon.com




  • Zensah Compression Socks
I've been on the hunt for some good compression socks for a while now. I did some research and decided to go with Zensah. They have a graded compression and are supposed to be good for injury prevention! They also come in a wide variety of colors and patterns! I can't wait to give them a try! They also have great customer service from my experience! Find them here: zensah.com. I purchased mine using a code from athletes on instagram (@twinsanityfitness). Their code is TWINFIT.

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
