Lifeway Greek-Style Fro-Yo: The Ice Cream with Perks
Let’s get one thing straight—I’m lactose intolerant, which means I haven’t had a decent scoop of ice cream in many moons. While this has saved me from a world of hurt when stress calls for a pint of the dairy-licious good stuff, I still crave it occasionally. That’s probably why I’m such a fan of [...]
Get Naked: Trying NudeFood Bars and Breakfast Boosts
You’ve heard of eating clean, but how about NudeFood? According to the company, Nude Food is all about nutrient-dense foods (Get it? NUtrient DEnse?), and following the idea that a calorie is not a calorie, all of their products are made up of ingredients with no empty calories, but rather chock-full of vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, carbs and good [...]
Living the Cultured Food Life (Which Is Way More Tasty Than It Sounds)
Gather ’round FBGs! Today we want to talk about cultured food. Yes, “cultured food” may sound like the result of a science experiment or, worse yet, something grown inside that unmarked food container in the back of your fridge that at one time was edible leftovers. But cultured foods really aren’t gross at all. Okay, [...]

Kombucha, aka fermented tea brewed from a solid mass of yeast and bacteria? Yes, it sounds a little gross. Okay, a lot gross. But it’s not. No, really. I made it—at home. And you can, too, ’cause we’re giving a homemade kombucha kit! But I get ahead of myself… While there isn’t much research on it, anecdotally kombucha is [...]

It’s pretty much impossible for me to review a lassi drink without making either a lassie (a little girl, Scottish slang) or a Lassie (dog) joke. So here goes… Question: What do you get when you cross a cantaloupe with Lassie? Answer: A Meloncollie! Ha! Ha! Ha! Okay, not funny? How about a Lady and the Tramp [...]
GoodBelly Probiotics: Yummy Bacteria That’s Good For Your Belly
Lately, probiotics have become super hot. Like, volcanic in the health-food world. My mom has been eating yogurt daily to help with her gluten-sensitivity issues. I’ve personally found that they’ve helped with my immunity during cold and flu season. Heck, even the guy at Whole Foods was telling Tish and I that he swears by fermented [...]

The Big Chill: We Try Frozen Kefir
I’ll be honest. Up until a week ago I knew kefir was a health food (read: something Whole Foods loves to stock), but I wasn’t exactly sure why it was great for the ol’ bod. And thanks to Google, within minutes I was primed on why kefir is a superfood. (Seriously, how did we live before [...]
This Frozen Yogurt Is Frozen Awesome!
Oh sweet gods of deliciousness, give me my sin again! FBG Jenn asked if I’d be down to try Yogen Früz, this new yogurt the Hollywood hotties of Los Angeles are raving about, and I groaned out a small “yes.” Yogurt places out here are a dime a dozen. There are literally four different places [...]
