How To: Get in Probiotics

If the gut is the second brain, it's about time we take care of our gut health! 

No wonder, then, "probiotic" continues to be a buzz term in the health and wellness community!

Here's my favorite way to get probiotics in - in fact I look forward to them!
Blueberry Lifeway Kefir on a Bagel
  • Lifeway - This a brand with a mission; a mission to make probiotic, nutricious foods, improve the health of their customers and have fun along the way! I'm on board with that! They make kefir, skyr, and now a probiotic elixir! How fun! My favorite is the blueberry kefir cup! They blueberries are so fresh and delicious tasting - they perfectly balance the tartness of the kefir. Lifeway products contain 15-20 billion CFU of live and active kefir cultures per cup! How's that for a probiotic punch? They are sold at my local grocery store - find out where they are sold near you: http://lifewaykefir.com/where-to-buy/ 
  • Farm and Oven Bakery Bites - Yes, these guys again! I've mentioned them several times now but they so good, packed with veggies and probiotics. Try them for yourself: Farm and Oven
  • Clio Snacks Dark Chocolate En-robed Greek Yogurt Bars - I saw these at the store and hesitated. Is it worth it? Several weeks went by. I finally tried them and I have been missing out! They are SO deliciuos. They taste like bites of cheesecake covered in dark chocolate, not to mention they have 8+g protein and billions of probiotic CFUs. Find them now! https://cliosnacks.com/pages/store-locator 
  • Truth Bars - I've previously reviewed these bars (Truth about Truth Bars) and *spoiler alert* I love them! They have 1 billion probiotic CFUs paired with prebiotic fiber! They also have come out with a new flavor since my review - Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch - so good! Find out where you can buy them here: https://truthbar.com/pages/store-locator
  • Smarty Pants Vitamins - If you need/want to supplement - try these! These gummies taste like candy and I'm not mad about it! Not only do I literally desire to eat these, but they have 7 billion probiotic CFU per serving, 99% survivability and prebiotic fiber. My favorite probiotic supplement. I'm a kid at heart!

You've seen edible cookie dough recipes all over the World Wide Web.

Product Review: Tru Fru

If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition.

That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
