Friday Finds!

It has been a hot minute but here we are with some noteworthy finds!

Built Bar
Built Bar - These new protein bars are making waves with their great macros (110 calories and 15g protein) and unique texture. They have a light fluffy interior with a chocolate coating on the outside. They are like a candy bar! I had the opportunity to try a variety box and I loved every flavor. Check them out here: builtbar.com

Argan Oil - Fre Skincare sent the gift of pure Argan oil this past December and the timing could not have been better. My skin is so dry in the winter! I've been using a couple drops after my shower on rough patches of skin (elbows, back, hands, etc.) and the ends of my hair. This oil is like a miracle - it moisturizes me but does't make me feel greasy! Check out Fre Skincare (I love all of their products!) here: freskincare.com and use my code: HHF to save!

Fortifx Bars - These protein bars have also been very popular on Instagram lately. These large bars have a granola bar interior with a chocolate coating. Chocolate coatings make me happy. I tried the Pretzel flavor and the multi-layered bar made for a satisfying texture and the salty-sweet flavor was on point. These bars are so good and a pretty hearty snack if hanger is striking!

Shrewd Food Protein Crisps - Cheese balls with protein - that's how I would describe these! I had been curious about these unique snacks for a long time and finally got to try the cheddar cheese flavor and I really liked it. The texture is slightly different than your average cheese puff, but not bad. Check them out here: https://shrewdfood.com/protein-crisps/



What's your favorite protein snack? Have you tried any new protein bars lately?

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...
