Siren Snacks: Innocent Indulgence!

Watch out protein bars, there's a new snack in town. 


Siren Snacks were developed as a result of the founder being diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease. She had to undertake a journey of clean eating and her sister joined her! Together they developed snack bites to satisfy the need for sweet snack bites. They added in a punch of pea protein and voila! Siren Snacks were born. 

They check all the boxes:
  • soy free
  • gluten free
  • grain free
  • nut free
  • non GMO
  • vegan 
  • no artificial sweeteners
  • no artificial flavors 
They are sweetened with a blend of monk fruit, stevia and dates. They currently come in four flavors: Snickerdoodle, Brownie, Cookie Dough, and Lemon Poppyseed. 

I loved the small, snack-able bites. They make the snack so fun to eat and they make it last. The texture was great as well. It was soft and cookie-like, without being oily or sticky. I didn't detect any weird pea protein aftertaste, just sweet goodness. The snickerdoodle tasted just like snickerdoodle to me, the brownie was a nice rich chocolate flavor. They are not overly sweet, but definitely sweet enough for me. I really enjoyed all of these, but my favorite was probably snickerdoodle - I love the cinnamon kick! 

They bites come in a small bag - one bag = one serving! Score! However, you could also eat a few and save the rest for later. They are perfectly poppable!

I definitely recommend these whether you have a plant based lifestyle or not - they are an innocent indulgence for anyone and they make a great ice cream topper! 😉 Check them out here: http://www.sirensnacks.com/

How's that Working Out for You?

Do you even lift, bro? Seems like it's been a minute since I talked about anything fitness related! Here's what's been going on! Running My running continues as normal - I like to keep myself conditioned for 5k races throughout the year so my regular running routine is 3-4 miles, 3 times a week. I've considered trying out a half marathon with my mom, but we haven't committed to the idea of training for one lol! Let me know if you think we should do it! Lifting I actually took the plunge and purchased a lifting program from Mind Pump Media. I purchased their Anabolic program which is designed to increase overall strength. I completed Phase 1, one time through. This was vastly different from my former routine. This Phase implemented low reps and long rest periods. I felt like I wasn't doing anything but apparently I was because I got sore (not an good indicator of a good workout, by the way). I'm now in Phase 2 which is more muscle hypertrophy. I thi...

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!

Is Healthy Chocolate an Oxymoron?

Image
Jumbo shrimp. Definitely maybe. Seriously funny. Healthy chocolate? Is healthy chocolate a contradiction? While I believe the term "healthy" can be interpreted many ways, there are now tons of chocolate options on the market to fit into many diets including: low sugar, no sugar, dairy free, gluten free, etc. I wholeheartedly support this because I believe everyone should have chocolate! It's one of my life goals to get chocolate from as many countries as I can. So far, Italy has had the best chocolate (if you go, find Venchi!). Clearly, I'm an un-certified chocolate aficionado. So it is my duty to try all the "healthy" chocolates that I can get my hands on! JOJO Chocolate Bark This chocolate comes in two varieties: 70% dark chocolate bark and peanut butter delight. The dark chocolate bark encases raw almonds, pistachios, and dried cranberries. It's non GMO, has only 8g sugar and a boost of Non GMO casein protein! I really loved the nuts and cra...
