Lean Cuisine meals have been around a long time and as the name suggests they are marketed as being great for weight loss. On the package it reads “Lean Cuisine may assist in achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight because it is portion controlled”. However, is it really that easy? Does calorie restriction or control equate to weight loss and furthermore, what is lurking beyond the label? Let’s undress this product and see how good it looks naked! READ MORE

While traveling to Hawaii this year my husband and I fell in love with Acai bowls! If you haven’t tried them they are a must try. They are basically a delicious smoothie that is so thick you eat it from a bowl with a spoon. Then they top it off with toppings like granola, fruit, honey, nuts, etc. I’m drooling just thinking about them. While we were staying in Kihei, Maui we came across this amazing hot spot called Wow Wow Lemonade. If I could have put the entire restaurant in my suitcase to bring home with me I would have!

In addition, Omega 3 can help aid cognitive function, increase attention/focus, improve memory function, support the cardiovascular system, reduce inflammation in the joints, and even help stabilize our emotions. Bonus!  READ MORE
