Tasting! Naked Juice (Part Of A Triple-Trio of Nakedness)

I already told you about the naked Yoga I did. There’s naked jogging, too (although questionable). And now you can add in some Naked Juice 100% Juice Smoothies for a triple-trio of naked adventures. It’s an on-the-go smoothie you can get in the produce section and its deeeelicious! I do love my homemade fruit smoothies, but I always snag me a Naked Juice at the grocery store to chug down while I shop. (yes, I do pay for it first. sheesh)

Red Machine is my favorite so far.

…and this particular Machine right here contains 13 raspberries, 11 strawberries, 3 cranberries, 1.5 apples, 1/4 pomegranate, 1/3 orange, 1/2 banana, and 7 red grapes (that’s alotta fruit), plus a “boost” made up of flax seed, omega-3's, B &C Vitamins, potassium and 5 grams of fiber.

Haller-luuu-yah!

Damn, I love this stuff. And how about that “no added sugar” thing? All of its 25 grams of sugar occurs naturally from the fruitiness I listed. I highly encourage you to leave those drinks in the juice aisle alone. Thou shalt cleave to thine Naked Juice instead.

Tasting! Gardein Fake Azz Beef Tips (and how I cooked it up)

I am a part-time vegetarian. I still get down with the sea creatures in full force, yet chew on chickens sparingly. But as for the beefy things? No moo-cow for me about 99% of the time. So my stomachs got happy when I tripped upon the Gardein fake azz beef tips (aka, Beefless Tips). I cooked them up in a stir fry with fresh green peppers and onion. It took me less than 10 minutes to prep the veggies AND cook the entire meal.

Hell yeah!

Then I packed it up for work-lunch, and when it became noon-ish, I poured my beefless, vegetable-infused creation over a bed of Minute Whole Grain Brown Rice. Can somebody say “peppered steak”?

“Emmm…but what the hell did it taste like, Josie?”

Just in case you’re wondering, Gardein is a play on words for “garden + protein”. We’re obviously not dealing with real beef here. This was only visually reminiscent of cow meat. The texture is not as dense as real beef. It’s got decent flavor that isn’t necessarily strong in beefiness, yet it’s a pleasant and happy compromise for the vegetarianites.

Yet there is a thing called spices and I intend to use more next time to “beef up” the flavor. Spices are magical, so I can make that happen. I’m sure the end result will be an even tastier experience than it was this time around. I shall continue to chew on the fake azz beef tips. I love taking control over my food choices and getting creative. The beef-ish tips helped make that happen.

Tasting! Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs

This is a multiple choice quiz. Now take a wild guess at what happened to the Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs:

a) They burned in the oven.

b) The dog ate them.

c) Water spilled on the leftovers.

d) I ate waaay too many Puffs.

Welp, I didn’t burn them, we don’t have a dog, and I surely didn’t eat too many. So the correct answer is C. The leftover Puffs did get water logged, but I didn’t give a damn.

Even after cooking them a few minutes longer than package directions, the Puffs only get sorta crispy on the outside and stay mashed potato-ish on the inside, so forget about a regular tater-tot experience with super crispiness. The flavor problem I keep getting with any kind of packaged sweet potato product is that they somehow lose the bold flavor that comes with a fresh sweet potato. I hate that.

Alexia’s Puffs are just fine and dandy: edible and likable in a ho-hum kinda way, but it’s like eating a sweet potato with 50% of your taste buds removed. The flavor is ghostly. It’s kinda tasty, but really only just a shadow of real, fresh flavor. So why even bother?

I thought these would be a hit with the Greedy Family, but I was almost stoned with stale dinner rolls for bringing the Puffs to the table. This is why I didn’t give a damn when the mound of leftovers got water logged. Someone (and it certainly wasn’t me) manged to run the leftover Puffs under faucet. How convenient, huh?

Tasting! Annnie Chun’s Seaweed Snacks (WTH?)

Go on and call me the uncooperative sea hag, but I have my limits. My gag reflex just won’t allow it. I was extremely optimistic about Annie Chun’s Seaweed Snacks, especially after my temptation to chew on some free seaweed straight off the beach. Yet my food curiosities have officially gone too far.

The Annie’s seaweed package uses fancy words like savory, bursting with flavor and chock full of vitamins to make you forget that you’re actually about to eat seaweed. I was almost sold on the propaganda. Then I opened the package and got a huge, involuntary whiff of the stench. The sea odor assaults the nose holes, causing your nostril hairs to shrivel while immediately vaporizing any boogies from the “stale seawater” scent. It’s very strong and can be quite an embarrassing odor if someone doesn’t realize you have seaweed in the room.

But I have to go through with this, right?

Seaweed Snacks tastes just like seawater, plus some extra salt thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t get the stuff down my trachea. This is the first Taste Test in Yum Yucky history that literally made me almost vomit every single time I tried to eat it ((serious face on)). I Googled “seaweed benefits” and a whole bunch of glitter & unicorn-ish health benefit info popped up.

But noooo. This is more like Lochness Monstress vs. Mermaid Zombie. Those are some scary b!tches.

Tasting! Amy’s Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake (shaa-POW!!)

“me thinks I hear angelic creatures singing hallelujah”

My food trap has been to the heavens and returned back savoring the flavors. Ohhh, my dear Amy’s Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake. How do I salivate over thee? Let me count the ways….

You’re vegan, which I don’t require. But when a vegan food tastes just like “normal” food, I can appreciate that.I’m mesmerized that a cake that has no milk or eggs in it (no dairy at all) can taste even better than other cakes I’ve gnawed on.Your other ingredients are so simplistic, yet your taste triumphs over other cakes who think they’re all that and a bag-o chocolate chips. You have no GMO’s, no preservatives and you’re even gluten free for the peoples who need it. Nuff’ said there.

If you did a blindfolded taste test, there’s probably no real way you’d link Amy’s to a cake outta the box from the freezer section. No freaking way. I swear it tastes better than chocolate cakes I’ve paid absurd money for at the bakery. Just thaw it out and serve.

It’s the moistness that gets ya. And the authentic, high-end organic cocoa ingredient. I’m shaking my head from being mesmerized. Surely Amy’s is da bomb. You could cut this cake into mini squares, stick some toothpicks in it, and serve it at a fancy party. Or you could skip paying bakery money for a small birthday cake celebration – just stick some candles in the Amy’s Cake instead. But don’t forget the ultimate… put a slice of Amy’s on a plate and go couch-azz as you savor the flavor.

And get this: It’s only 170 calories and 16 grams of sugar for one slice. How’d the hell they do that? If you don’t go buy yourself some Amy’s Chocolate Cake, you are totally missing out.

Now excuse me, I’m about to re-enter the third realm of heaven. Time for another slice of Amy’s. For further research testing, of course.

Tasting! Emmi Swiss Yogurt

Hot dang, those Swiss are some smart people! Eating up the Emmi Swiss Yogurt should actually require four hands: 2 hands for eating and the other 2 hands for doing back flips down the diary aisle.

Now go on and get those Greek powerhouses (Chobani and Fage) scrubbed outta your brain for just a sec. Sure, those two are fantastical, but Emmi Swiss is not to be compared with them. It’s a totally different yogurt experience that’s NOT the same as Greek. Those Greeks are thick and creamy, while Emmi Swiss is luscious and silky. I couldn’t get over the texture. Hoo-dee-hoo!

Emmi Swiss is made with low fat milk and has no bovine growth hormones either. There’s a host of fruity varieties, but I set my food trap to prey on Green Apple flavor. It’s cool, refreshing and very dessert-ish. I can tell it’s made with quality ingredients. There were barely any apple chunks because the flavor relies on fruit puree instead. As for other ingredients, there’s nothing in it that you can’t pronounce, except for those live & active enzyme creatures. How do you say their names?

I hereby dub Emmi the dessert yogurt. Yep, it’s on that kind of satisfaction level. It’s too light and non-filling for breakfast, but perfect for after lunch or dinner. And while I’m not too keen on some of this dessert-ish sweetness coming from straight sugar, at least it’s not from High Fructose Corny-ness or some hellish fake sweetener. I really like this stuff, people. I won’t be eating it everyday due to the sugar situation, but Emmi Swiss is still one fine way to indulge in dessert time without those cakes, pies and cookies getting involved.

If you see this new yogurt in your grocery store, just buy it and try it. You’ll be doing back flips in no time. I can also refer to you a great chiropractor if you don’t land on your feet.

Tasting! Whole Grain Brown Rice Krispies

Is it just another gimmick to exploit the healthy-eating desires of all the peoples? Is it a scam, like when that door-to-door slickster sold me that futuristic $1,700 vacuum cleaner I didn’t need? (gah! I was such an idiot back then).

Are Kellogg’s Brown Rice Krispies a gullible waste of a purchase?

Emmm. No.

First off, the ingredient label reads like a preschool party: Whole grain brown rice, sugar, 2% or less of salt, BHT for freshness. So ya, it really is delivering up some brown rice glory with its golden color and crispy texture that’s bolder than the regular kind. Some of the cereal bits even have that dark brown line that you see in raw brown rice.

You need to be feeding this to your greedy spawns, because they won’t know the difference compared to the regular stuff. It tastes exactly like the original, but with brown rice and gluten-free benefits (if you need that).

Parenting Tip: If your know-it-all kid (eh-em, Greedy Kid #1) decides to bitch about brown rice cereal without even tasting it first? Go tell them to buy some cereal with their own damn money.

Tasting! Uncle Sam Strawberry Cereal

[photo credit: TJ's Test Kitchen]

Errr. You caught me. That’s me at Fitbloggin chomping on the Uncle Sam Strawberry Cereal while the kettlebell session was going on nearby that I didn’t go to. But in my defense? That session was jam packed overflowing with peeps, and there was a lot of body heat in there. Okay!?!

So activated Plan B: cereal eatin’ in the hallway.

I use Uncle Sam Strawberry Cereal strategically. Sure it’s a breakfast cereal, so go on and do that after you scrape the crust out of your sleepy eyeballs. But I’d rather eat it for lunch or evening snack, because the hearty-filling texture, coupled with the slap of VERY LARGE freeze dried strawberry slices and whole flax seeds makes it a multi-tasking powerhouse.

Now choose from list to guess what kinda of multi-tasking joy it brings me.

A.) It makes my stomach shut the hells up for an extended time frame.

B.) The sweet strawberries keep my taste sensors happy.

C.) The child-spawns don’t steal it because there’s no cartoon clown on the box. (but this clown went too damn far)

D.) The ingredients list is short and pronounceable: Toasted Whole Wheat Berry Flakes (Whole Wheat Kernels, Salt, Barley Malt, Vitamin B2), Vitamin B1, Flax Seed, Sugar, Freeze Dried Strawberries, Natural Flavor.

E. No preservatives. Nada.

F.) All of the above.

If you guessed F, you win 10 points AND get to do a free round of 100 speed squats before dinnertime. <– (C’mon! It’ll only take you like 5 minutes.)

Huh? FREE Shakeology from the Yum Yucky?

The requests for free samples has been overwhelming and I want to share with as many people as possible. Soon I will reveal how YOU can get your own free sample, courtesy of the Yum Yucky! (and I am happy that the Shakeology t-shirt makes my boobs look bigger)

90 Days of Shakeology: Days 42-62 It was a rough 20 days. I got super busy with just about everything – work, home, kids, blogging, ebook writing – I’ve been late for work, running on about 4 hours sleep each night, and NOT slurping my Shakeology consistently. In the time when I need it most, I slacked off and made excuses why I couldn’t take 5 dang minutes every day to make the shake that has personally proven itself to give me the energy I so desperately need. In the last 20 days, I’ve had my Shakeology probably 10 times. So that’s basically every other day instead of consistently EVERY day. What’s wrong with that, you say? Welp, I do feel the difference. It’s had a backwards affect and been serious energy drain. I’ve skipped days of Shakeology here and there before with no lost affects, but to skip days for such an extended period of time does not work for me. I’m glad I know this now. I’m listening to my body and back doing what I need to do, so perhaps this was a necessary lesson. I’ve always looked at Shakeology in terms of what it can do for ME and me only, but it’s benefits were actually helping me to also do what I need to do for my family, while giving me the natural boost I need to do everything that my crazy days demand….. Check out what a Twitter bud of mine says about Shakeology. And if you haven’t watched this video yet: See What Doctors Are Saying About Shakeology, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Weight Progress

Day 1: 172.8 pounds

Day 62: 166.4 pounds

I’m not intimidated by slow weight loss, especially since I’m building muscle, and that affects the number on the scale. I’m in a size 6 and have noticed more muscle definition. My abs are especially coming along nicely.
