This is my as-unbiased-as-possible review of our Organic Dark Chocolate!

- Certified Organic

- GMO-free

-Filled with Probiotics and Fiber

- 1000 mg of Omega 3′s

- 3 g of Protein

- Gluten-free

It is dark chocolate so has a slightly bitter taste, but definitely satisfies any chocolate cravings! And, with the toasted flax-seed, a nutty sort of flavor hits your palate immediately.

It’s texture is that like a crunch bar… those fun little flax seeds!

Thanks and blessings to you,

Ok, here’s a confession… I had NO idea what the deal with raw cheese was.  I honestly didn’t even know there was such a thing as “raw cheese.”

Well, thanks to Beyond Organic I now know and understand the power and value that’s packed in raw cheese.

What makes it raw?

The milk is never brought above a cow’s normal body temperature of around 101.5 degrees during processing.  This helps to retain all of the valuable nutrients in the cheese whereas pasteurization with excessive heat leads to basically killing all that was good in the cheese in the first place.

There’s so much more to this cheese… farmstead, artisanal, from GreenFed cowsbut the purpose of this post is to offer you a review

So now to my test taste…

The two cheeses I’m reviewing here are the Cheddar and the Havarti.

The cheddar has a nice sharpness to it and is quite robust in flavor.  It’s texture is a bit crumbly as compared to the Havarti.  I love putting it atop a nice salad.

The Havarti is a bit creamier tasting, almost buttery.  It still has a bit of ‘tangy’ but overall is smoother in taste and texture.  I really enjoy using the Havarti on sandwiches or in dishes that call for a milder flavor.

My husband is known at our house as liking his “fancy” cheese (must pronounce this with a British accent!) and I’m happy to report that he, too, is a fan!

Now for my review of  Beyond Organic’s GreenFed Beef!

I really like this beef, but I have to be honest… it tastes like lean ground beef.  I think what makes me like it so much has little to do with it’s taste and more to do with my knowing where it came from and all of the good “stuff” that’s wrapped up in it!

I feel so much pride serving it to my family and knowing they don’t even have a clue how healthy it is! YES!

Because the cows are Greenfed, (eating grasses, forbes, legumes and herbs – NOT GRAINS – on certified organic land) they have a healthy ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats, contain CLA, B-6, B-13 and even K2 vitamins!

The cows are never treated with hormones or antibiotics and are processed according to Biblical standards.

What about the hotdogs?

Let me share with you their ingredients… beef, water, organic honey, seal alt, organic mustard, organic paprika, celery powder, organic coriander, organic garlic, organic black pepper!

That’s right… NO NITRATES!

They have a very hearty texture as opposed to the overly processed ones you find in the ol’ grocery store.  The dogs are nice and big and do great grilled or on the stove.  I personally like to slice them up and saute them in a pan with a little kosher salt, then pop ‘em on top of a nice salad or sprouted bread! (picture below)  I recommend cutting them in half down the middle for the little ones.

DO NOT boil them, though… they lose some of their flavor if you do and they are already pre-cooked!

Again, it just does this mama good to know that I’m feeding my family that is actually feeding their bodies, not ultimately taking away from them!

Wow!  This stuff is AMAZING!

As indicated on the packaging:

“A delicious, highly digestible cultured dairy beverage inspired by Africa’s Masai tribe and cultured with over 30 probiotics!”

Delicious is definitely an understatement!

If you’ve ever had Kefir, you have a little bit of an idea of what this is all about. The difference for me, though, is in it’s smoothness and lack of mouth-twisting tartness. It is so creamy with just a tinge of tartness.

We have three wonderful flavors and since I’m a self-proclaimed sugar-junkie, I prefer those with the added honey. However, I am pleasantly surprised by just how tasty the plain is as well.

My youngest daughter’s favorite is the Milk & Honey and this photo below is her proudly wearing her Amasai Milkstache!

The plain flavor actually reminds me of a buttermilk, but the fact that I like it speaks volumes as I’ve never been a lover of buttermilk!  It seems creamier to me and with a little less “sting.”

Blessings and Enjoy!

It’s true… I still like Oreo’s.

I have been and still am learning so much about the power of nutrition in regards to preventing disease and illness and yet… I still like Oreo’s.

I’ve been on this journey for awhile and I have to be honest. It hasn’t been easy. And I know I must not be alone!

What is important is that we are moderate about the “bad” stuff we put in our bodies. Sometimes my “moderate” comes dangerously close to the “excessive” line, but all the while I am aware of what’s going on.

So, all this to say… I am on a journey of wellness, filling my body with the proper nutrition to help it function properly and on occasion I eat Oreo’s!

God bless you,
