Product Review: Icelandic Skyr

No Comments
| product reviews

It’s been a while (a long while!) since I’ve done a product review, so I thought this month would be a good time to add a new post to this category. Today I am reviewing Icelandic skyr. Skyr is a thick, strained yogurt, similar to Greek yogurt, except it seems to be a little milder […]

Product Review: Miscellaneous Snacks

No Comments

I’ve tried some new products recently and thought a brief review of several at once would be fun. Sillycow Farms hot cocoa mix in Chocolate Ginger Snap.

Mmmm, what’s not to love about the smell of a fresh pot of coffee in the morning? Ok, maybe not everyone is a fan of coffee, but growing up in an Italian family, coffee was at everyone’s place setting. Even mine when I was a young girl, albeit I was served decaf. I only drink […]

Product Review: Kerrygold Irish Butter with Olive Oil

No Comments
| product reviews

As far as I am concerned, Kerrygold has some of the finest butter available in the USA. Unlike many commercial butters, Kerrygold is a golden yellow color (not a pale, off-white), and it has a rich, creamy texture and an incredible butter flavor. Their butter is made from the milk of Irish grass fed cows […]

Weighing in on Whey

No Comments
| product reviews

Whey protein. Though the thought of it may conjure up images of bodybuilders purchasing 55 gallon drum size containers of the product from their local health food store, the truth of the matter is that many people – not just athletes – can benefit from adding whey protein to their diets. Whey protein contains all […]

Product Review: Electrolyte Powders

From time to time, I like to review products so I can make recommendations to my clientele. Today I will be comparing two products: LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix and Vital Proteins Hydration + Collagen. LMNT’s electrolyte powder is strictly an electrolyte supplement containing sodium, potassium, and magnesium, with no frills. It comes in multiple fruit […]
