Kicking Horse Coffee Review & Giveaway Ends 8/31/11 at 7 PM EST

I received a can of Kick Ass Coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee to sample and review.  I love coffee and couldn't wait to try this one.  Kicking Horse Coffee is new to me.  I have never tried it before.  I love the aroma that the kick ass coffee gives off.  I ground up enough beans for a small pot and brewed.  It smells amazing.  It is a nice dark coffee.  I enjoyed a cup black and then I had another cup with some french vanilla creamer in it.  This coffee is really enjoyable.  I can't wait to have another cup tomorrow morning.  I am a huge fan of Kicking Horse Coffee and I can't wait to try the other varieties as well. 

Kick Ass [Dark]

The name says it all: carpe diem, play to win, no regrets. Don't let this cute little donkey fool you-he plays for keeps. This take-no-prisoners roast is popular with athletes who'd rather enjoy a good cup of coffee than choke down an energy bar before a workout. A great mix of Indonesian and Central American beans that is guaranteed to kick some sense into you.
Tasting Notes: Intense, full-bodied, dark-roasted attitude

I am still juicing nightly.  I have replaced my normal dinner with a mean green juice.  I have substituted the kale with spinach, it's easier for me to find and I like it better, but other than that I am sticking to the recipe I posted in the last blog post.  There are a million juices you can make once you own the juicer.  Just get the fresh produce and let the juicer do it's magic.  I promise you will not regret your decision to start juicing!

Hollywood Cookie Diet Review & Giveaway Ends 8/24/11 at 7 PM EST

I received the Hollywood Cookie Diet to sample and review.  I got a box of each of the flavors.  I have tried all four and love each of them.  My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie.  I had one cookie for breakfast and then another for a mid morning snack.  These cookies are so good.  They do not leave me feeling hungry right after eating them.  They do not have too much sugar, so there's not a sugar crash after eating a Hollywood Cookie Diet cookie.  I love the Hollywood Cookie Diet.  I did not feel deprived.  I felt full and satisfied after eating a cookie.  They really are amazing cookies.

They have four different varieties to choose from.  I enjoyed all four of the varieties.  We all know that to lose weight we have to restrict calories, but that is easier said than done. When hunger strikes, diets fail. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works by satisfying your hunger and your sweet tooth. Simply eat up to four cookies a day, replacing breakfast and lunch, and eat a sensible dinner. Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

We all know that to lose weight we have to restrict calories, but that is easier said than done. When hunger strikes, diets fail.

Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

Each cookie is individually wrapped for eating on-the-go. Take a tasty meal with you to the office, on the plane, on the road, to the gym, or anywhere else you go. Each cookie is also a good source of fiber and protein.

Based on the recommended 4 cookies per day (approximately 600 calories) and a light sensible dinner (approximately 800 calories), the average person who was consuming 3000 calories (or more) per day will lose approximately 15 pounds per month. Of course every individual is unique and results will vary based on many factors. An increase in exercise will help to increase weight loss.

This may be the last diet you will ever need. Use The Hollywood Cookie Diet for as long as you want until you achieve your weight loss goals. You can also use the The Hollywood Cookie Diet as a maintenance program. Always keep a cookie in your car, in your office, or anywhere you get hungry, so you can enjoy a satisfying treat and not gain weight.

I am very pleased with the quality of the product as well as the taste.  I know that this diet will be successful because I am cutting calories.  Cutting calories is the best way to lose weight.  Exercise is important too but cutting calories makes the pounds fall off.

The sponsor has offered to give a box of each of the varieties to a lucky winner from my blog.  If you would like to enter, see the giveaway below.

Do You Juice?

Recently I wanted the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead".  I was inspired to start juicing from watching the movie.  I did not have a juicer so I emailed Kuvings and asked them if they would send me a juicer so that I could review it on my blog.  The nice folks over there decided to sent me a Kuvings Professional Silver Centrifugal Juicer - NJ-9500U.

I received the juicer on Friday.  I was so excited to get juicing.  I went to the store and bought some celery, cucumbers, kale, lemon, and granny smith apples.  I am going to use the mean green juice recipe that I found on the site for the movie for my first juice recipe.  I modified the recipe slightly because I didn't find the ginger root at our local grocery store.  I also didn't find kale except for in a bag, so I grabbed a bag and estimated the amount to put in the juicer.  The recipe is:

Mean Green

1 Bulk of kale
4 Stalks of celery
1 Cucumber
2 granny smith apples
½ lemon
Ginger root (thumb sized)
 

It's really not that bad.  It makes a lot and I wasn't sure if I should have drank the whole thing or now.  But I drank a large glass full and it tasted alright.  I am going to do this every night instead of dinner for now.  I haven't made the commitment to switch totally to juice for 10 days to detox yet, but I am working on getting more vegetables and fruits in my diet through juicing for now.

If you have not seen the movie, please watch it, you may be inspired just like me.  If you decide to get a juicer please check out the juicers at Kuvings.com.  The one they sent me is amazing.  It's so easy to use and to clean and it's not that loud.  It's also reasonable priced.  I'll update in about a week with my juicing report and status.

SnackAisle Review & Giveaway Ends 8/22/11 at 7 PM EST

SnackAisle.com sent me a wonderful selection of their snacks to sample and review.  Before I tell you about what I tried, I wanted to tell you about this really cool Snack of the Month Club they have.  There are several different subscription options to choose from.  They have one called the Starving College Student Box which would be an amazing gift for a college student.  I know that I would have loved it when I was in college.  I just think the Snack of the Month Club is a neat idea.

Pretzel Crisps Original - I love Pretzel Crisps.  Original is one of my favorites.  I like to have these with salsa on them.  They are so crispy and with just the right amount of salt.  I am a big fan of the pretzel crisps.

Pretzel Crisps Deli Style Everything - These are really tasty, they are good  just out of the bag.  I haven't found a topping that I like with them.  They are so full of flavor it's hard to combine all those flavors with something else.  I enjoyed these as well.

Route 11 Dill Pickle Potato Chips - I didn't know if I was going to like these or not because dill pickle potato chips sounded funny to me.  I loved these chips.  The dill pickle flavor is so good.  I had to put the bag down before I consumed the entire bag in one sitting.  These chips are delicious, a new favorite for me.

Route 11 Sweet Potato Chips - I recently discovered that I like sweet potato fries, so I couldn't wait to try these and see if I like them as well.  Sure enough I am a big fan of the sweet potato chip.  They are wonderfully tasty. 

Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame Lightly Salted - I had not ever heard of Edamame, so I really had no idea what to expect.  I did enjoy a few of these but they are not my favorite.  I passed them along to my husband who ate the rest, he loved them.

White Mountain Kettle Corn - I took this with me to work for an afternoon snack.  I really enjoyed this kettle corn.  It was sweet and salty the perfect combination.

KIND Plus Cranberry & Almond - This KIND Plus Cranberry & Almond bar is a mix of tangy cranberries & crunch almonds PLUS enhanced with antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, & E which fight free radicals. This bar is all-natural, gluten-free and dairy free. This healthy snack bar is a rich source of fiber, low in sodium, and no trans fat.  Let me just say that this bar is amazing.  I have not ever had a KIND bar before, but I am impressed and can't wait to try all the different flavors. 

WINETIME Dark Chocolate Dates & Almonds - WINETIME Dark Chocolate Dates & Almonds Bar are a healthy indulgence that contain more of the anti-aging compound Resveratrol than 50 glasses of red wine and the antioxidant power of dark chocolate. Also filled with 7 super fruits including Blueberry, Goji, and Acai, vegan, dairy & gluten free.  This bar is great also.  I love that it has all those super fruits in it.
