VOGEL'S Cafe-Style Light Almond & Ancient Grains - Review

I really really enjoyed this cereal, not only is it healthy and light but it tastes great. Your not compromising taste for healthier options here. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this for your breakfast cereal. I'm not a huge cereal eater myself but this one I could eat in the morning, maybe not every morning but a few days a week.

The taste of the grains and the seeds is really pleasant and mixes together well. I was a little hesitant to try it at the start because it didn't look like it would taste the greatest - but don't let it fool you, it tastes amazing and I felt really good after eating it. No bloating, or feeling hungry plus it got me through the whole morning until lunch.

I'll give credit to Vogel's as they have a great 'Compare Products' page which allows for you to compare the nutritional value of all the Vogel's Cereal Range (great for those wanting to compare the sugar, fat, protein values etc)

I've done a review on the Vogel's Peanut Butter Clusters which you can read - Click Here

VOGEL’s Crunchy Peanut Butter Clusters - Review

So I had the privilege of winning a Vogel's Cereal Pack from In Rhi's Pantry and it arrived on Friday!

Needless to say the girls and I were excited to try out the flavours - naturally I couldn't resist picking up the Vogel's Crunchy Peanut Butter Clusters <3

I am in love and anyone who loves peanut butter will love this cereal too. I'm not a huge cereal fan - but this one takes the cake for being nutritional as well as tasting great! This isn't something I would eat every morning for breakfast but once or twice a week - again perfect for that peanut butter lover!

I also tried out the Cranberry, Cashew & Pistachio Luxury Blend Cereal - you can read the review for that cereal on my blog also.

Need a Healthy Quick Snack?

Here's a quick and easy healthy snack that you can make bulk of and take for your snacks during work! 

Healthy Snack Mix: (2 servings)
1 cup of Almonds
1 cup of Peanuts
1 cup of Pumpkin Seeds (These have amazing health benefits - you should be eating these babies regardless)
1 cup of Dried Banana
1 cup of Raisins
1 cup of Coconut Chips
1 cup of Dried Apricot (optional - I'm not a huge fan of apricots so the choice is all yours)

The mix above usually last me two days worth of snacking and I love it! Beats snacking on something I know I will regret later.

Needing an extra boost of energy during the day or feeling a little peckish is totally fine, however snacking on foods that are only going to deplete your energy even more is not. You need to look at whole foods with nutrients that are going to give you sustained long term energy rather than the quick sugar high you may have been looking for. What's your go to healthy snack?

Hope you enjoyed this quick snack mix and I'd love to hear about your weightloss journey and what methods you tried.

Enjoy!

An Apple a Day Keeps The Doctor Away!

It quite literally does! But don't take my word for it check out this awesome little article by Don Tolman.

Check out the article here: http://www.dontolmaninternational.com/blogs/blog/11291929-will-an-apple-a-day-really-keep-the-doctor-away

I love Don and his approach to eating a wholefoods diet. So much of the food we eat nowadays is packed full of unnecessary chemicals and our bodies are paying for it. 

Go check out Don's stuff it is amazing and will totally change the way you think about the food you eat. I am a huge fan of his "Wholefood Medicines" and "MediSins and PharmaceutiKills" books which outline what foods to eat to cure specific ailments and what the pharmaceutical world is actually doing to us. Don clearly shows the faults that are in our medical system and how opting for a wholefoods diet could cure your condition rather than trying to treat it with a plethora of pills and tablets. 

Check out Don's Books here:

It's a great read and I know you will start cutting food items out of your diet straight away. I did, as soon as I found out what margarine was originally created for and the fact that it is two ingredients away from being paint/plastic literally makes my stomach churn. As soon as I found out I cut it out of my diet.

I mean they are literally selling us plastic to eat, you may as well go grab a pot of paint and start having a spoonful. Go check out Don's amazing website (plus I forgot to mention he even has his own range of wholefood cleanses you can buy called 'Pulse'. As well as he also has his own organic toothpaste, deodorants, natural healing agents etc.)

Don't even get me started on what is in toothpaste, but Don's toothpaste is great it made my teeth so much whiter in days - I will admit the taste is a little unusual but better to be unusual than toxic.

These are all my personal opinions and I hope you enjoy them as well as look further into Don's work you won't be disappointed.

Anyone else have any stories they would like to share? I would love to know what other foods people have cut out of their diets :)

Don't forget an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Lots of love,
