First, here's some info about Bliss Nut Butter from their website:

Bliss Nut Butters is a product of Back 2 Basics Wellness, a company committed to encouraging healthier lifestyles with healthy, delicious nut butters. Bliss offers four unique nut butters: Peanut Butter Bliss, Chia Seed Peanut Butter Bliss, Cinnamon Chia Seed Peanut Butter Bliss, and Hazelnut Butter Bliss. Each nut butter is processed with a Fresh Ground Process that preserves the integrity of the ingredients. Our nuts are dry roasted and blended with toasted peanut oil and cold pressed sunflower oil. Each jar is sweetened lightly with My Local Honey from the Pacific NW and seasoned with a hint of sea salt. Simple. Healthy. Delicious.

We LOVED these nut butters! The Peanut Butter texture was super neat because it was a little chunky from the chia seeds, but spread really easily on toast. We also loved putting a spoonful in our Snickerdoodle Smoothies! It was very cinnamon-y and delicious!!! 

The Sunflower Seed Butter was the perfect combo of sweet and salty! It was incredible on banana toast and we also loved it on our eggs! (Don't knock it till you try it!) 

Also, grabbing spoonfuls here and there just to eat on it's own was definitely a repeat occurrence with these nut butters! YUMMMMMM! 

The best part was tasting delicious nut butter without all the crazy weird ingredients! Nothing but the good stuff!

First, here's some info about these products from their website:
Move Matrix provides scientifically advanced ingredients that work synergistically in the body to promote healthy joints. This premium formula supports joint flexibility and range of motion. Collagen Type 2 is the key structural protein of joint cartilage. This premium formula combines BioActive NeoCell CollagenTM Type 2, Turmeric, Hyaluronic Acid, and a sophisticated blend of joint targeted ingredients to support flexibility, lubrication, and healthy inflammatory response.*

The Neocell joint supplements are great.  I'm halfway through the bottle and I can feel the affects already.  My joints aren't as sore after my round of golf and they feel better during the round also. I was recommended by my chiropractor to take a supplement like this and I'm glad he did.  They work great and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for better joint health short term and long term.

P.S. The Join Bursts taste like Starburst candy! DELICIOUS!

Good For You Junk Food Snacks and Nuts

We are committed to providing our customers with the best low sugar added nut snacks that only use ingredients found in nature and that improve the health of your body while satisfying your hunger. There's a reason our snack foods are sweeping the country - we give people excellent nutrition with unbelievable junk food taste.

WOAH. There's no other way to describe these nut butters! The Blueberry Cinnamon Bun took my overnight yogurt bowl from okay to LEGENDARY. (I think their name for the company is spot on!) 

The Pecan Pie was incredible on top of my protein waffles. They nailed it when they said they have junk food taste without the junk. These nut butters are insanely delicious and feel like you're eating icing! 

The flavored almonds were tasty too! I thought the Ranch had a subtle hint of my childhood favorite, Cooler Ranch Doritos! I felt much better eating the ranch almonds instead of junky chips! The Cheddar Bacon was good as well. They were perfect snacks for watching tv.

New (To Us) Companies That We Are Loving Right Now

 We are very fortunate to be able to try lots of amazing products for free in order to host reviews on this blog. Today, we are sharing a TON of new (to us) companies that we think you'll love as well! 

We were not compensated monetarily by any of these companies, just sent free product. All opinions are our own. 

First up, we have some incredible on-the-go, or in Jared's case, perfect snacks for the golf course!

Chef's Cut Real Jerky

This jerky was delicious! There were many flavors to choose! My personal favorite was the honey barbecue. I took it to the beach with me and it was SO SO SO GOOD. Jared's favorite was the Original, he said it was a nice change of pace from your typical jerky!

Bruk's Bars 

These bars were tasty. The apple flavor tasted like apple pie! The chocolate ones did melt a little in Jared's golf bag, but that's typical of any bar that has chocolate in it. They are similar in texture to a Larabar. Thumbs up from the Wolfepack!

Fit Snack Box 

As always, Fit Snack delivers amazing healthy products right to our door. This month, our favorite product was the Action Whey protein bar. It was very chewy and reminded me of taffy, so I felt like I was eating candy. Jared couldn't believe I saved the last bite for him to try it, haha ;) He agreed that it was great! There are always so many healthy snacks inside each box. Sign up with this link and save on your first box! 

Now onto some new easy meals...

Grainful Steel Cut Meals and Sides 

As much as we love oatmeal, we never thought to use it as part of a meal! We thought these meals and sides were great. The oats had a great texture along with the delicious flavors in each meal and side. My favorite was the Unstuffed Pepper. I thought it was a clever name and the flavors were incredible! Jared covered the curry because he is a fan of spices! These meals inspired me to try and create some recipes with oats!

80 Fresh Meals

80Fresh is founded on the commonly held belief that 80% of success in reaching fitness and health goals is determined by eating habits. We’ll take care of the 80, with pre-portioned, pre-prepped, chef-designed meals that deliver the nutrition you need with the taste and comfort you crave. You’ll enjoy the “Fresh” that comes with our delicious meals - combining the contrasting demands of taste, nutrition, ease, and freshness. 

80 Fresh was kind enough to send 2 portions of Southwest Chili and Shepherd's Pie. I invited Laura over for a girl's night to catch up and try the chili. It was a hit! The chili was a little spicy, but not over the top. We thought it was flavorful and definitely easy to cook. All we had to do was heat it on the stove.  

The Shepherd's Pie stole the show though. It was incredibly tasty and filling and simply delicious. I want to recreate this meal at home for Jared sometime! I think he would love it too. It was nice that it wasn't loaded down with a heavy crust. The top layer was mashed cauliflower! This was also super easy to cook. It came with a tin that fit the fillings perfectly and baked for 20 minutes. So cool! 

And lastly, a new skin care product...

Mother Dirt 

The Nitrosomonas in the AO+ Mist work by consuming the irritating compounds produced by your skin (like ammonia and urea in sweat), and in turn producing beneficial byproducts. Specifically, Nitrosomonas produce Nitrite and Nitric Oxide. Nitrite tames the bad bacteria and promotes the good bacteria on the skin. Nitric Oxide is a key antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. These two byproducts together do a great deal to help promote healthy skin overall.

I used the shampoo, cleanser, and mist for about a month. While I didn't see any super dramatic changes, I did notice that my skin wasn't as dry as usual. I'll have to check with Jared and see if I stink less haha. If you are looking for a completely different approach to skin care, this is definitely a product for you!
