Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Fast & Natural Instant Brown Rice Review

Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Fast & Natural Instant Brown Rice

The description of Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Fast & Natural Instant Brown Rice reads, "now you can get great tasting 100% natural whole grain brown rice in just 10 minutes." Well, one thing I love is quick and easy, healthy meals, so I was all over this and bought a 14 ounce box for $2.19.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1/4 cup dry (48 grams - 1 cup cooked)
Calories: 170
Total Fat: 1.5 grams, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 0%
Carbohydrates: 36 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugars: 0 grams
Protein: 4 grams

Well, they aren't lying. The directions are basically to add rice to water, boil, then turn the heat down & simmer for 10 minutes. This produced a fluffy, soft rice - not much different from white rice actually.

Each 1 cup (cooked) serving of Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Fast & Natural Instant Brown Rice provides 170 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 2 grams of fiber (8% of the daily value) and 4 grams of protein. The ingredients list simply states, whole grain paraboiled rice.

As I mentioned before, a 14 ounce box, which holds about 2 cups of rice, cost a little over $2.00. I liked it, my family liked it, and I would definitely buy this again. Minute Instant Brown Rice (Review) is also really good. It shouldn't be too hard to mess up rice (although, you never know with some companies), but if you're pressed for dinner prep time, then Uncle Ben's got your back.

Jamba All Natural Energy Drink (Blueberry Pomegranate) Review

Jamba All Natural Blueberry Pomegranate Energy Drink

Jamba All Natural Energy Drinks says it has, "all of the lift and boost of traditional energy drinks, but none of the weird hard-to-pronounce ingredients."And, "with 70% real fruit juice and 90 calories per serving, it's the all-natural and super tasty way to get the energy you need." Well, I certainly felt like I could use a boost during my hectic days recently, so I decided to shell out the $2.95 for an 8.4 ounce can of Jamba All Natural Blueberry Pomegranate Energy Drink to see what it was all about.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 can (248 mL)
Calories: 90
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 15 mg, 1%
Carbohydrates: 21 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 20 grams
Protein: 0 grams

For such a pricey drink, I expected it to at least be tasty, but alas, this was not the case. The Jamba Energy Drink is carbonated, and has a syrupy sweet but also sharp, acidic taste that together make for a disastrous combination. I tried to sip it, just a little at a time while working, but I only managed to get through abut half the can before I gave up. Buying this felt like a waste of money - and needless to say, my spirits were probably depressed by this, instead of being uplifted.

The ingredients include, Apple juice, pomegranate juice and lemon juice (water, juice concentrates), water, blueberry puree, apple puree, natural flavor, caffeine, green tea extract, extract of stevia, and (carbonation added). The "energy boost" is apparently from the added caffeine - 80 mg - but I would MUCH prefer to have a cup of coffee, or 2 cups of black tea, or a few cups of green tea.

Each 8.4 ounce can of Jamba All Natural Blueberry Pomegranate Energy Drink provides 90 calories from 20 grams of sugars. Clearly, I was not a fan of this (and wish I could get my money back), but now that I have realized there is a whole "natural energy drinks" category that I haven't been exploring, I'm on the lookout for more drinks like this - to find one that actually tastes good.

Clif Mojo All Natural Trail Mix Bars (Mountain Mix) Review

Clif Mojo Mountain Mix Bar

Over the weekend, I bought quite a few nutrition bars to review and to update past reviews. As I browsed the MANY varieties, I decided to pick up a few all natural bars, including Clif Mojo Mountain Mix Bars. It's said to be made up of 70% organic ingredients, low glycemic, and is described as a, "deliciously sweet & salty snack dedicated to getting out there and mixing things up."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 bar (45 grams)
Calories: 190
Total Fat: 9 grams, 14%
Saturated Fat: 1.5 grams, 8%
Sodium: 200 mg, 8%
Carbohydrates: 21 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugars: 12 grams
Protein: 8 grams

I really don't get the appeal of the "sweet AND savory" taste. This bar is 99% sweet - with an entire top layer of chocolate chips, lots of nuts & raisins all held together in a soy rice crisp matrix held together by brown rice syrup - which is the first ingredients. It lulled me into forgetting about the "salty" aspect of the description, until BAM - it feels like someone threw a random grain of salt in the mix - and I wasn't really thrilled. After that, the salty undertones was a little more noticeable. I do like this bar though - it's crunchy and the nuts that are really the star of the show. Forget about the raisins, because it was like they didn't exist since although I could see them, they didn't show up in the taste (other than contributing to the sweetness) or the texture.

Each 45 gram Clif Mojo Mountain Mix Bars provides 190 calories from 9 grams of total fat (14% of the daily value), 1.5 grams of which is saturated (8% of the DV), 200 mg sodium (8% of the DV) 12 grams of sugars, 2 grams of fiber (8% of the DV) and 8 grams of protein.

I bought this bar for $1.19, but I'm on the fence about whether or not I would buy it again since it's a little too sweet for my tastes, but I do like the fact that it does use all natural ingredients. I much prefer Gnu Foods Espresso Chip Flavor & Fiber Bar (Review), which provides 140 calories, 4 grams of total fat, 4 grams of protein, 12 grams of dietary fiber (48% of the DV) and 8 grams of sugar.

Have you tried Clif Mojo Bars yet - what did you think?

Healthy Choice All Natural Lobster Cheese Ravioli Review

Healthy Choice All Natural Lobster Cheese Ravioli

Since this week's meal plan calls for lots of seafood, I've been trying out a variety of frozen meals that have either shrimp or fish. The latest one is Healthy Choice All Natural Lobster Cheese Ravioli, It's described on the packaging as having, "Ricotta cheese and lobster filled ravioli, with green and yellow zucchini in a vodka sauce, topped with parmesan cheese."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 meal (255 grams)
Calories: 270
Total Fat: 6 grams, 9%
Saturated Fat: 2.5 grams, 13%
Sodium: 600 mg, 25%
Carbohydrates: 41 grams
Fiber: 4 grams, 16%
Sugars: 9 grams
Protein: 11 grams

After a brief stint in the microwave, I was greeted by some (i.e. 5) delicious tasting, lobster ravioli. There was no mistaking the lobster flavor, although it was a wee bit salty. What I could have done without was all that salty vodka sauce - WAY too much. It detracted from the taste of the lobster and I would much rather have less of this sauce and more ravioli. The rest of the meal was green and yellow zucchini, which were okay - not too soft, but these aren't 2 of my favorite vegetables - I would have preferred some green beans, asparagus or pasta. Overall, I ate all the ravioli without messing too much with the sauce, and left everything else.

Each Healthy Choice All Natural Lobster Cheese Ravioli provides 270 calories from 6 grams of total fat including 2.5 grams of saturated fat (9% and 13% of the DV), 600 mg sodium (25% of the DV), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 9 grams of sugars and 11 grams of protein.

Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup Review

Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup

Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup is an all natural, vegan and gluten free soup that blends savory lentils with brown rice and vegetables in a perfectly seasoned broth. According to the description on the Right Foods website, "it is a delicious, hearty soup that provides complete protein essential amino acids."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 cup (245 grams)
Calories: 150
Total Fat: 0.5 grams, 1%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 480 mg, 20%
Carbohydrates: 27 grams
Fiber: 10 grams, 40%
Sugars: 2 grams
Protein: 9 grams

The first thing I did was check out the nutrition facts,which turned out to be very impressive. Each 1 cup serving of Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup provides 150 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 480 mg sodium (20% of the daily value), 10 grams of fiber (40% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein. Did you catch that - 40% of your daily value for fiber and 9 grams of protein - if you had eaten Fiber One Honey Squares Cereal (Review) for breakfast, you would already have 80% of your daily fiber requirement before dinner!

Of course, another important factor is the taste, and while this lentil soup was hearty, it was also a little bland. There's a LOT of lentils, so you definitely get your money's worth there, but it's not as flavorful as Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup (Review) - adding a little hot sauce seemed to perk it up a bit though.

Coupons.com

The ingredients in Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup are filtered water, lentils, vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, garlic), organic brown rice, organic wine, natural flavor (non animal source), yeast extract potato starch, spices sea salt.

I received samples for review, but it's available on the Right Foods website for purchase at $17.94 for a case of 6 (18 ounce (510 gram) cartons). While I loved the nutrition of Dr. McDougall's All Natural Lentil Soup, the flavor was lacking - although I preferred it to Amy's Organic Lentil Soup (Review). I look forward to trying more Dr. McDougall's All Natural Soups - and finding others that are as good as the Organic Tortilla Style Soup.

Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup Review

Dr. McDougalls Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup

Dr. McDougall's Organic All Natural Soups hit the supermarket shelves recently, and I received a few samples for review. The first one I picked to try was the Organic Tortilla Style Soup, described as, made from a prized recipe that blends organic masa harina, corn, black beans and vegetables in a delicious Southwestern broth. The soup is also vegan and gluten free.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 cup (245 grams)
Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0.5 grams, 1%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 530 mg, 22%
Carbohydrates: 20 grams
Fiber: 4 grams, 16%
Sugars: 2 grams
Protein: 5 grams

The directions on the carton read, just heat and serve, so I poured out about half the contents in a bowl, and microwaved it for a few minutes. The result was a delicious hearty soup. It was a little on the sweet side - I was actually expecting a more salty flavor - but it wasn't an unpleasant surprise. There was a lot of beans and corns in the slightly thick broth of this robust soup. After a few spoonfuls, I also started getting some of that spicy heat on the back of my tongue from the chilies - nothing too strong though. Love this soup - although I have to admit to adding just a pinch of salt to my 2nd portion - and then the soup really was perfect in my eyes.

Coupons.com

Each 1 cup serving of Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup provides 100 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 530 mg sodium (22% of the daily value), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. The sodium content is actually that of most "low sodium" soups. The ingredients are, filtered water, organic vegetables (tomatoes, corn, onions, chilies, garlic, cilantro), organic black beans, organic masa harina, natural flavors, organic starches (corn, potato), sea salt, organic spices, organic evaporated cane juice, organic sesame, organic tamari soy sauce, citric acid.

As I mentioned before, I received samples for review, so I'm not sure of the exact retail price (on their website, other comparable options cost just under $3.00 per 18 ounce (510 gram) carton - about 2 servings). As much as I like Muir Glen Organic Chicken Tortilla Soup (Review), I think I give Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup the edge because it's lower in calories and has way less sodium - 22% compared to 33% of the daily value.

Snow Natural Soda + Vitamins (Cranberry Pomraz) Review

375

I was looking around the grocery store the other day, when I came across Snow Natural Soda + Vitamins. I was fascinated by the marketing as I hadn't come across this before, so I took home the Cranberry Pomraz flavor. From the website ... Snow Natural Soda + Vitamins - all the fun, exuberance and delicious indulgence of soda without any of the unhealthy ingredients.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 container (12 ounces)
Calories: 115
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 0%
Carbohydrates: 31 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 31 grams
Protein: 0 grams

Each 12 ounce container provides 115 calories from 31 grams of sugars. There is also 15% of the daily value for vitamins B3, B5, B6 and B12 ... need I say that you really don't need to be drinking this for the vitamins?! But the taste is pretty good - it's like a sweet, fruity soda.

The ingredients list includes pure filtered and lightly carbonated water, natural cane sugar, natural cranberry flavor, natural pomegranate flavor, natural raspberry flavor, other natural flavors, citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), sodium citrate, niacin (vitamin B3), pantthenic acid (B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6) and cyanocobalamin (B12).

Lipton Pomegranate Blueberry 100% Natural Iced Tea Review

Lipton Pomegranate Blueberry Iced Tea

I LOVE the changes made by Lipton Iced Tea. Have you seen the Lipton 100% Natural iced Tea line, with the curvy shaped bottle? It's sweetened with a combination of sugar and stevia extract and when I spotted the Pomegranate Blueberry flavor in the supermarket the other day, I knew I had to try it pronto.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 8 ounces
Calories: 50
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 1=50 mg, 2%
Carbohydrates: 13 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugar: 13 grams
Protein: 0 grams

Lipton, you did good! The packaging is eye catching, the bottle shape is sexy and the taste is pretty darn good. Now, I really liked it, but I'm not going to tell you that this is bursting with distinct pomegranate and blueberry flavor. The natural flavors they use combine to provide a sweet fruity taste that's rather pleasant - not too sweet though and there is an underlying taste of lemon (or something like it). The tea flavor is not as prominent in this as in some other teas, and the characteristic nasty stevia taste is not there - am I the only one who really dislike beverages sweetened with only stevia?

Coupons.com

Each 8 ounce serving of Lipton Pomegranate Blueberry 100% Natural Iced Tea provides 50 calories and 13 grams of sugars - that's 130 calories in a 20 ounce bottle and 33 grams of sugars. The ingredients are tea (water, tea extract from tea leaves), sugar, citric acid, natural flavor, reb A (purified stevia extract).

I purchased a bottle of this for $1.05 at the grocery store and would certainly buy this again. Of course, there's a lot of sugar in the entire bottle, so go easy. I drink a lot of water but there are days when I feel for something sweeter, and this is certainly a good way to go.

Pacific Natural Foods Homestyle Creamy Southwestern Corn Soup Review

Pacific Natural Foods Homestyle Creamy Southwestern Corn Soup

As I was looking at various soups in the supermarket to review, Pacific Natural Foods Homestyle Creamy Southwestern Corn Soup caught my eye, as it's Vegan, Kosher, gluten free and low fat. The only thing it didn't say was delicious - but I sure was hoping it would be.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 8 ounces
Calories: 90
Total Fat: 1 gram, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 450 mg, 19%
Carbohydrates: 20 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugar: 2 grams
Protein: 2 grams

Now this soup has a lot to live up to because V8 SouthWestern Corn Soup is the BUSINESS! Unfortunately for Pacific Foods, I had already experienced what a delicious "Southwestern" corn soup tastes like, and I wasn't impressed with their rendition.

First off, it could really be described as just creamy corn soup, because that it was ... creamy and slightly sweet. What it didn't have was any kind of Southwestern flavor AT ALL. I didn't get a hint of spicy - even the Muir Glen Organic Chicken Tortilla Soup Review has more of a spicy kick than this. Still, this soup isn't really bad, in fact, the more I ate, the better I thought it tasted and it didn't seem as sweet as at first.

Coupons.com

Each cup of Pacific Natural Foods Homestyle Creamy Southwestern Corn Soup provides 90 calories from 1 gram of total fat, no saturated fat, 450 mg of sodium (19% of the daily value), 2 grams of fiber, sugars & protein. The ingredients are, filtered water, sweet corn, rice flour, onion, evaporated cane juice, seasoning (spices, salt, garlic, onion, evaporated cane juice, cilantro, sunflower oil), sea salt, guar gum.

I purchased a 32 ounce box for $2.50 which is very economical, but this is not my favorite variety. I prefer Pacific Natural Foods Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup and Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup.

Imagine Natural Creations Organic Creamy Sweet Potato Soup Review

Imagine Natural Creations Organic Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

Have you ever had sweet potato soup? I haven't, although I do like putting sweet potatoes IN soups. well, I decided to be adventurous and give Imagine Natural Creations Organic Creamy Sweet Potato Soup a try. This soup is organic, all natural, vegetarian, plus dairy-, gluten- and preservative- free.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 8 ounces
Calories: 110
Total Fat: 1 gram, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 460 mg, 19%
Carbohydrates: 28 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 12%
Sugar: 3 grams
Protein: 2 grams

I poured some out into a pot, and saw a thick, rich, creamy orange soup. I heated this on the stove-top for a few minutes, and the soup got a little less thick. When it had cooled off some, it was time for the taste- test. It turned out that the soup wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be, but neither was it good. There wasn't much flavor and it didn't win me over to being a fan of sweet soups. I would definitely use Imagine Sweet Potato Soup as a puree in other dishes, but wouldn't drink it as a soup.

Each 8 ounce serving provides 110 calories, a low 1gram of total fat, none of which is saturated, 460 mg of sodium (19% of the daily value), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the DV), 3 grams of sugars and 2 grams of protein, plus a whopping 190% of the daily value for vitamin A.

Workout Music Playlists at IntheGym.net

The ingredients list includes, filtered water, organic sweet potatoes, organic potatoes, organic rice syrup, organic carrots, sea salt, organic expeller pressed safflower oil and/ or sunflower oil and/ or canola oil, organic ginger.

A 32 ounce box of Imagine Natural Creations Organic Creamy Sweet Potato Soup cost me $3.49, and I don't consider it a total waste as I can use this in other ways ... just not as a soup. Imagine has a lot of "creative" varietis in their repertoire, so if you're tired of the "same old same old" then why not try their Acorn Squash & Mango, Corn & LemonGrass, Cuban Black Bean, or Creamy Sweet Pea Soups? I'll be honest - some of those flavors scare me a little ... but I'm still willing to give them a chance.

The Best Natural Weight Loss Remedies

It's much better to lose weight naturally rather than taking all different assortments of pills or supplements to help lose weight or gain muscle.

There are many simple steps to losing weight naturally; I am going to give you a few.

It's always good to set yourself a target to reach because this will motivate you a lot more because it's a great feeling to reach your targets.

You should make sure you know how many calories you are taking in every day and how many you should be taking in every day. Start of by taking of 300-500 calories a day and eventually you will take of more but this is just to start. So if your intake is 2000 calories then try and push that down to 1500.

The next stage of Natural Weight Loss Remedies is to now split up your meals so instead of having 3 big meals a day have 5-6 smaller meals, this will boost your metabolism. Instead of carrying on eating fatty food (if you do) you should convert to healthier foods but if this is hard then convert slowly. But don't forget to set goals.

In order to burn more calories it defiantly won't help sitting in front of the TV; you have to make sure your active. In order to burn calories you should be doing at least 25-45 minutes a day three times a week, this should be burning of about 1110-1800 calories a week. Very soon you will start to notice a massive difference.

Best All Natural <b>Weight Loss</b> Products | naturalweightlossforever.com

By Admin, on November 29th, 2010

The weight loss products that are found on the market nowadays are swamped with claims to treat obesity and bring quick weight loss for everybody. What people don’t know is that some of these fast weight loss products have considerable amounts of caffeine, laxative-like compounds and some even have toxic stimulants that cause side effects.

The all natural weight loss products have successfully hit the supplement industry over the last few years thanks to the desire of many to use the holistic products over chemicals. It is expected that people will start avoiding the chemical products that claim miracles and end up leaving you with horrible side effects.

All natural weight loss products provide really good benefits over their typical counterparts. The nice thing about using these products is that they are time tested and can aid your body in getting into its own bio-rhythm.

Here’s information about some of the more popular all natural weight loss products today:

1. Proactol

This all natural weight loss product is a clinically proven, patented fibre complex that is an 100% natural & organic fat binding pill. It helps in preventing up to 25% of the fat from the food that we eat from being absorbed into our body. This supplement is made from the dehydrated leaves of the cactus Opuntia Ficus-Indica.

This all natural weight loss product is guaranteed as a safe weight loss supplement with no side effects.

2. Pure Acai Berry

This all natural weight loss product works by cleansing the body from toxins and speeding up metabolism. It increases the speed of the digestive system causing the food to move more quickly than usual. This results in eliminating food from the body quickly and allows it lesser time to gather in the body and be stored as fat.

This weight loss product also has other health benefits such as strengthening the immune system and increasing mental awareness and sharpness. Aside from that, the Acai Berry ingredient used in this supplement is 100% pure, unaltered and untouched.

3. Unique Hoodia

This all natural weight loss product has 100% pure and untouched Hoodia Gordonii. The most important substance of Hoodia Gordonii is the p57 molecule. After many years of endless researching and testing, the p57 molecule has been found to have exceptional appetite suppressant properties.

Snikiddy All Natural Grilled Cheese Puffs

Snikiddy Grilled Cheese Puffs

Snikiddy is an all-natural, baked cheese puff marketed directly toward children, as evidenced by the fact that I stumbled upon them while shopping for video games at Toys R' Us. I bought a bag of single-serving Snikiddy Grilled Cheese Puffs because a) I love cheese puffs, b) I'm a kid at heart, and c) because on the front of the bag, it expounds, no corn syrup, gluten & wheat free, no hydrogenated oils, no trans fat, no preservatives and low in saturated fat.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 28 grams
Calories: 120
Total Fat: 5 grams, 7%
Saturated Fat: 1 gram, 5%
Sodium: 250 mg, 10%
Protein: 17 grams
Carbohydrates: 24 grams
Fiber: 1 gram, 6%
Sugars: 1 gram
Protein: 3 grams

I popped open a 1-ounce single-serving bag and was thrilled to see that I actually got what I paid for - it was about three quarters full of yellow cheese puffs. It'd say there was over a hundred of these little bite-sized balls in one bag, making my chompers very happy. If you're wondering if these have anything to do with a grilled cheese taste - let me assure you - absolutely not. I guess the folks over at Snikiddy thought that small children would happily eat junk food named after kid-friendly dishes like grilled cheese sandwiches. But they are quite tasty, crisp in texture, and cheesy, though not as cheesy as those Puff Cheetos. I liked these way better than Michael Seasons Lite Cheese Curls.

Each 28 gram serving (or in this case, 1 bag) of Snikiddy All Natural Grilled Cheese Puffs provides 120 calories, 5 grams of total fat, of which 1 gram is saturated (7% and 5% of the daily value), 250 mg sodium (10% DV), 1 gram of fiber and sugar, plus 3 grams of protein. The ingredient list is empty of neon-orange dyes, and consists of: Cornmeal, sunflower or safflower oil, cheddar cheese, maltodextrin, nonfat milk, salt, butter. disodium phosphate, natural flavor, yeast extract, and extractives of annatto.

I bought 6 bags (1 ounce each) for $3.49 - I know it costs more to buy single serving bags, but I honestly couldn't do without the portion control - and I'm eager to try their other flavors. Why buy baked Cheetos with its monosodium glutamate (MSG) and artifical colors (yellow #6 and #5), when you could buy this?!
