Healthy Product Reviews for Everyone

February 22, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you new products that I have recently tried out.  One of my favorite things is getting out of my comfort zone and trying out new things.  If I didn’t do that I would not have discovered foods such as sweet potatoes, calamari, salmon and having an egg on a burger.  🙂

Breakfast:

Vans 8 Whole Grain Waffles – These waffles are amazing!  They come frozen and all you have to do is pop them in the toaster oven.  In a few minutes you have nice warm, toasty waffles.  The waffles are only 150 calories for two which is great for breakfast!  They contain 7 grams of fiber which keeps you full and 5 grams of protein, plus only 2 grams of sugar.  They have a slight cinnamon flavor to them too.  I like to serve these with strawberries and a dollop of whip cream.  I take frozen strawberries and microwave them for about a minute until they are hot and mushy and place it on my waffles with just a tad of natural maple syrup.  Van’s 8 Whole Grain Waffles are also Non-GMO and is made with hearty whole wheat, oats, barley, brown rice, rye, quinoa, amaranth and millet.  You can find these at your local grocer.  I bought mine from Target.  Oh and my Husband really loves them too, he ate almost a whole box in one sitting.  🙂

Vans Whole Grain Waffles

Lunch or Dinner:

Boulder Organic Soups – For dinner I tried the new Organic Boulder Soups.  I had a craving for Tomato Soup, and when I was at Target I saw Boulder Organic Roasted Tomato Basil Soup.  It is only 90 calories for a cup and I thought it would be perfect to pair with a grilled cheese sandwich.  I warmed the soup up in a pan and oh la la, it tasted like homemade.  It has a wonderful creamy flavor and I love the basil flavor in it.  I meant to take a picture for you, but I was so hungry that I ate it all before I remembered to take a picture.  Each soup is USDA Organic, Gluten-Free, and Non-GMO.  Target only had 2 flavors in stock, but when I checked out the Boulder Organic Soups website they have 14 flavors.  I want to try the Green Chili Corn Chowder, yum.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised this soup and it is located in the refrigerator section of your grocery store.

Snacks:

Simply 7 Hummus, Lentil and Quinoa Chips – Let me tell you I took these to work to have everyone test them out and let’s just say we ate a whole bag in one sitting.  Everyone loved them! We started out with the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Chips and they are light, a wonderful sweet pepper taste and oh so good.  Then we opened the Salt & Vinegar Chips and they are my favorite.  Just the right amount of tangy and salty flavor.  The Sea Salt Lentil Chips are a nice basic potato chip flavor which I just love.  The Cheddar Quinoa Chips have a nice cheesy flavor and are perfect for popping in your mouth.  All of the chips were so good.

All of the chips are Non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian and kosher.  They contain no Artificial Colors or Flavors and no preservatives.  Each serving is about 130 calories, which is about 25-30 chips.  Not to bad.  It’s a great guilt-free snack.  The chips are like a popped chip that simply melt in your mouth.  I am very excited about these chips and I can’t wait to stock up on them.  You can find them at your local grocery store.  Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Simply 7 Quinoa and Hummus Chips

Drinks:

INVO Coconut Water – I just love coconut water.  It’s a great low calorie beverage that really hydrates you because it contains 5 essential electrolytes.  Today I received some samples of Coconut Water from INVO.  They sent me 3 flavors, Tropical, Pure and Sencha Green Tea.  Each drink is 99% fat-free, under 100 calories per bottle and simply tastes refreshing.  I honestly really love these drinks.  The Tropical tastes like a nice, light, refreshing juice with a hint of mango and pineapple.  The Pure is what it is a light coconut flavor, that is only 80 calories and is perfect for having after a workout.  I love drinking the Sencha Green Tea as my mid-morning drink.  It has a nice tea flavor and yet tastes lightly sweetened and is only 50 calories.  If you are a coconut water fan you must try these drinks.  Perfect for grabbing and having on the go, plus I do love how much it hydrates you, and you know what?  When I drink it, it made me happy.  Must have some kind of happy endorphin’s in it?  So check it out on their website to see if you can find them located near you.  In my area they are in Whole Foods.

INVO Coconut Water

On the Road:

Jamba Juice Island Pitaya Energy Bowl – I know how hard it is to be traveling and trying to find something healthy, light and filling to eat.  I headed to my local Jamba Juice to try the new Island Pitaya Energy Bowl.  This bowl is so good!  It’s made with Pineapple Juice, Frozen Pineapples, Fresh Bananas, Frozen Pitaya, Frozen Strawberries, Frozen Mangos, Organic Pumpkin Flax Seed Granola, Fresh Blueberries, Honey, Chia Seeds, Coconut.  It has a nice tropical flavors, filling, refreshing and one of my new favorites.  I got the small bowl which is only 440 calories, 11 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.  I love that it is all natural and with one serving, I get my fruit intake for the day.  I think you will love the beautiful purple color and the flavor.  I really enjoyed the fresh bananas on top with the drizzle of honey.  They also have the a Tropical Pitaya Superfood Smoothie and Acai Berry Charger Superfood Smoothie, so you can take your smoothie on the go!  Next time your on the road, head to Jamba Juice to try the new Pitaya Energy Bowl or Smoothies.

That’s it for new products that I tried recently.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in Bio.
