LifeWay Probiotic Elixir - If you haven't tried LifeWay Kefir yet, what are you waiting for? I seriously love the stuff and its high in protein, probiotics, has live active cultures that support healthy digestion. I'm not here to talk about the kefir though! LifeWay has released a new probiotic goodie! They call it elixir - perhaps because they're so good you'll think it's magical? They come in four flavors: tangerine, ginger, hibiscus, and elderberry. If you're looking for a probiotic beverage but kombucha just isn't doing it for you, try this out! Read more about it here: lifewaykefir.com.

Wild Friends Almond Cashew Super Butter - Super Butter to the rescue! I'm definitely a lover of many nut butters, but recently opened a new-to-me jar of Wild Friends Almond Cashew Super Butter which is chock full of honey, chia, and flax for an added dose of omega-3's, protein, and fiber with an ultra creamy texture you're going to love! Check it out here along with the "Save the Bee" mission this nut butter supports: WildFriendsFoods.com.

I used Wild Friends Super Butter to top my Square Bar!

SomniFix - This is a mouth-tape to encourage nasal breathing while you sleep. I never imagined such a thing! By properly breathing through the nose instead of the mouth, it helps you get deep, quality sleep, along with eliminating snoring and eliminating exposure to airborne particles (and spiders?! lol). I haven't tried it yet, but I have a pack and plan on trying it soon! Read more about the science and the benefits here: SomniFix.com.

Which of these things sounds most fun to you? Did you make any discoveries this week?

You've seen edible cookie dough recipes all over the World Wide Web. You've some cookie dough with garbanzo beans, cookie dough with flour, dough with sugar, without sugar, maybe even with sweet potato. But, have you ever seen cookie dough with... Cauliflower.

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...
