Friday Finds!

Another round of Friday Finds for you! I've been slacking on new tv and books but I'm thinking that may change in the winter! For now, enjoy more food/drink/and workout clothes lol!

Rebbl Drinks are plant based drinks with benefits. I've always thought they sounded good but neglected to try them, until now! I tried the Cold Brew Maca and boy, was it good! It had a good coffee flavor, creamy texture and sweetness to compliment the coffee. I would recommend. It wasn't overly sweet but just right, in my opinion. Not only do they make delicious "elixirs", they have ethical sourcing and donate to Not For Sale to fight human trafficking. Check them out here: http://rebbl.co/. They have a lot of fun flavors with different super herbs and some with protein!

K'bosh Veggie Pizza Crusts are putting the kbosh on carbs! (Disclaimer: I enjoy carbs but I also enjoy added veggies, and trying new things!) This brand has a variety of crusts made from cauliflower and broccoli, zuchinni, kale, etc. They even have a dessert crust that is lightly sweetened with monk fruit. The crusts clock in at just 120 calories so you can go to town with the toppings. I'm excited to try these! Check them out here: https://kboshfood.com/

BOA Running Apparel is new to me! I'm a little picky when it comes to my workout apparel and definitely need different clothes for running and lifting. I decided to try the Women's Stamina shorts in Limeade and I like them! They are flowy and have built in "bloomers" so if you like to run commando, I guess that's good news! I wish they had pockets but they are very lightweight and keep you cool! Check out all their apparel here: https://www.boausa.com/

 Dragonfruit is a new-to-me fruit and I'm so glad I tried it! It has a similar taste and texture to kiwi and it is absolutely beautiful! I ate some plain and used it in smoothies to create beautify bright pink smoothies! You have to try it!


Have you tried anything new this week? Have you had dragon fruit before? Let me know!

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...
