Lately (as in the past couple of months), I received samples of some new food products to try out and review here on FFP. I like to do this for many reasons:
- I love healthy food and trying new things.
- I want to give you all my honest opinion and advice.
- I like knowing what is new in the food industry.
- I enjoy connecting with food companies as it kind of connects you to them as well. I like knowing the people behind a product and the story of the company. It's important to me.
So here is my review of two new products. I'll roll out a couple more later this month and even include a giveaway!
Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water with Thai Chili Extract This coconut water really surprised me. It's not like a punch-you-in-the-face chili flavor but a very pleasant, refreshing beverage. One bottle is only 60 calories so I consider this an acceptable amount of calories for a drink. Coconut water is naturally high in potassium, which is an important nutrient for good health. It is an electrolyte too so coconut water can help replace the potassium lost in sweat. I also like that it is a naturally flavored beverage with no added artificial things. If you have tried coconut water, want to like it, but just can't seem to, you should try Taste Nirvana. It is good stuff. I forsee me drinking this after a good hot yoga session. http://www.tastenirvana.com/
Somersault Snack Co. I stumbled upon this delightful little snack in one of the isles of Target back in August. I am always looking for a portable, wholesome snack with protein for Jackson, who is my little hungry, hungry hippo. This one fit the bill perfectly so I was thrilled to be contacted by the company to do an official review. Somersaults are a sunflower seed and toasted grain crunchy little round snack. The nutrition facts make me happy at 14 pieces for 140 calories, 3 g of fiber and 6g protein. They also have good ingredients with nothing artificial. Another perk is that because they are made with sunflower seeds you don't have to worry about nut allergy issues when sending them in school lunches. With a super crunchy texture and great flavor, these are a satisfying snack for the whole family. My favorite flavor (and my hubby's fav) is the Salty Pepper flavor. Man they are good! Jackson is a fan of the Cinnamon Crunch. On a completely superficial front, I love that this company is based out of Sausalito CA, one of the most beautiful places to visit. (Read about my trips there here and here.) Maybe I will get a chance to visit the headquarters on my next trip to Northern Cali. http://www.somersaultsnackco.com/
Disclosure: I received free products to sample from both Taste Nirvana and Somersault Snack Co and asked to write a review. I was not compensated for my time in any way. All opinions are my own.
