A Tour of My Favorite Foods
A few weeks ago one of my many favorite clients asked “why don’t you blog about things you like?” So here are a few things I frequently recommend, some of which you may already know. I currently do not receive any type of compensation from any of these companies.
Nut Butters:
I do think nut butters are my favorite food – peanut, cashew and particularly almond butter. Making your own with the Vita-mix is the best option but if you don’t have one my favorite brand of peanut butter is Sweet Ella’s made by a small company in Michigan. My favorite cashew butter, which I recently discovered is Artisana pure dessert on a spoon. I recently found a new almonds butter called Woodstock that is excellent.
Dark Chocolate:
I’ve tasted dark chocolate from all over the world and some of my clients have brought some from far away places. Seems like I am always trying new brands. A few weeks back I bought Alter Eco 85 or 90% and was blown away by how rich and smooth it tasted. I highly recommend a few squares a day for those flavonoids which lower inflammation in the body.
Cocoa:
A few years back I discovered Marie Belle and have not found anything comparable since. Lower sugar dark chocolate cocoa, which mixes easily with milk for a great satisfying cup of hot chocolate. They ship from New York and sometimes you can find at Williams-Sonoma to save on shipping.
Dark chocolate and a little nut butter? What could be more sweet and savory for a perfect snack?
