Voskos Greek Yogurt Goes Crunch

October 29, 2011 by Momstart 1 Comment

So My wordless Wednesday is so late this week, it’s on Sunday, and I’m suddenly making it not so wordless by adding a very quick review. So maybe we won’t call it a wordless Wednesday at all and just make it a review. So here is our Voskos Greek Yogurt Goes Crunch, YoGreek review.

Organically and naturally delicious. It’s nature’s perfect superfood that may help prevent diseases and boost your immune and digestive system while you savor every creamy spoonful. We each had one for breakfast. They have 140 calories and you mix in the granola yourself. I tried the strawberry crunch and liked it a lot. The kids both had the Honey Greek Yugurt crunch and ate it all. Miles said it was disgusting but I take that with a grain of salt because he ate it all. Zoe wanted more. YoGreek is the very first dual-cup Greek yogurt that offers Greek yogurt with crunchy granola for a complete meal-on-the-go. As one of the top superfoods, Greek Yogurt is a superhero and the granola its sidekick. YoGreek offers an all-inclusive tasty meal that’s convenient and fully portable with its one-of-a-kind packaging and delivery system. I think the calories are a bit on the high side, that’s my only complaint.

August 1, 2011 by Momstart 10 Comments

Dropping, replacing, and starting new habits is hard. Let 22 Days [https://www.22daysnutrition.com] help you “Replace hunger with a healthy habit.” You can take the 22 Days challenge and get started on fixing your wannbe summer beach body ASAP.

Psychologists have discovered it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, so start now; that’s less than a month, you can do it! My favorite bar of the 22 Days bar line is Cherry Chocolate Bliss so that gives you a starting point. I know I had you at chocolate! What else will you like: Nut Butter Buddha Crunch, Goji Maté Firecracker, Fruit Nut Karma, Enlightened Pumpkinseed, or Daily Mocha Mantra? If you’re looking for 100% good for you with all natural ingredients that is quick and pocket-able for parents on the go … BAM!

I also like that this bar is safe for kids (though be cautious of allergies and ingredients). Grab it and when they want a taste, you can say, “Sure.” 22 Days bars will satisfy you and not fail you in energy and as you reach from your fitness goals like other products that claim to satisfy you. There won’t be a sugar rush or crash, and you can have peace of mind knowing you did something good for your mind, body and brain.

You all know I’ve been making changes from last year to this year to improve my health and lose my baby weight as a hopeful side effect. I’ve been sitting around 155 now for a couple of months which is great from where I started but not where I want to be. I’ve been trying to cut back on sugars and eat whole foods. Though 22 Days would classify as processed due to the fact that it’s in a wrapper you should check out the ingredients; Cherry Chocolate Bliss bar: Organic Raw Almond Butter, Organic Agave Syrup, Gluten Free Oats, Organic Raw Almonds, Organic Tart Cherries, Organic Dates, Dark Chocolate Chips (evaporated cane sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter), Organic Freeze Dried Acai Powder (with organic lime juice and/or citric acid), Sunflower Lecithin, Sea Salt.

The bucket list of need-to-knows:

* USDA certified organic
* no harmful additives

Compared to Balance, Clif, Genisay, Luna and PowerBar Harvest bars, 22 Days bars are the only vegan, non-soy protein, and raw superfood delivering bars. 22 Days are also organic and all-natural as are some other bars, but not all and not the ones you may thing! And sugars – this may vary by flavor, but an average the least was Luna at 11g, followed by 22 Days at 14g, and the other listed competitors are 17g or higher. How does your favorite bar compare? I dare you to compare! I’ll wait, go get it now … check it out.

You can find 22 Days bars in local grocery stores but you can also purchase them by the case on their website.
