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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
