I recently discovered Sahale Snacks and they are AWESOME! I love to eat healty food and Sahale's stuff are basically nuts and dried fruits w/a bit of spices added (they do add some corn syrup too which is a bummer but not much of it)

Anyway, I am way into the pistachio Ksar snack: sweet and spicy. Also really digging the Sorocco macadamia and papaya snack.

These snacks are like savory versions of Larabars (which I love but get tired of all sweet all the time)

In any event, if you want something tasty and spicy and healthy, try these sahale snacks. They do have a lot of fat in them but I think that is good because it makes me feel full when I eat some of it and it is generally all good/healthy nut fat so your body digs it too

High Country Kombucha mushroom team

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I know, I know, team made by fermenting mushrooms sounds gnarly but it is actually super-tasty and is apparently super-healthy for you too. Known as a "probiotic" food, Kombucha is made out of black tea, a bit of sugar, and a yeast/fungi combo (not a mushroom actually) that all gets mixed together and ferments, taking out most of the caffeine and sugar leaving a naturally fizzing tangy/sweet and slightly vinegary drink. Again, I know, does not sound awesome but I have to say I really love the stuff and like High Country kombucha the best.

Maybe it is an acquired taste but I really look forward to swilling some of this at the end of the day. Does not pack the wallop that vodka does, but is a lot better for me. Plus it gives me a lot of energy and my body now seems to really crave it (in a healthy way, not a compulsive or addicitive way).

Try it and see. Just forget it was made by rotting fungi or maybe remind yourself that wine is made in a not too dissimilar way. Def try the goji berry flavor. Sweet berry taste plus lots of anti-oxidants

Himalania Dark Chocolate Goji Berries

First to recommend

Description

I totally dig the himalania dark chocolate covered goji berries. Tons of anti-oxidants in both gojis and dark chocolate. Plus, of course chocolate is delish. Gojis are also really good too: they are sweet but not overly so and have a vaguely strawberry flavor to them. Supposedly, monks in the himalayas have been munching on goijis to great effect for a few millenia.

You Bar - Fresh, Handmade Nutrition Bars - Build-A-Bar

First to recommend

Description

How totally cool is this? YouBar lets you build you own energy/health bar. I live off of LaraBars and as much as I like them, I am even more psyched to roll my own YouBar. I am using a cashew butter base w/cinnamon, cocoa, dates, and walnuts (and some extra protein) in my YouBars. And some molasses (not necessarily the most healthy ingredient but damned tasty).

YouBar is the wave the future in personal nutrition. They need to expand on the number of ingredients you can add, like flax seed or straight-up omega 3 supplements

SnackMaster's Range Grown Turkey Jerky

First to recommend

Description

OK, I know dried meat products are not for everyone and turkey jerky in particular can gross some people out. However, if you do have the good sense to have a palate that appreciates great dried meats, I HIGHLY recommend Snackmaster's free range turkey jerky. Hot & Spicy is my fav and my kids love teriyaki. Snackmasters uses super-high quality turkey and cuts it into slices (none of that weird "formed" meat that looks like it gets extruded from a machine).

Turkey jerky is a great snack for athletes as it is high protein, has a lot of salt to replenish lost salts, is low in fat and cholestrol. And it is is liteweight and easily portable so it is ideal for multi-pitch climbs or mountain bike rides.

Nordic Naturals Inc. EPA Omega 3 lemon flavor

First to recommend

Description

I am super-bullish on the longevity and anti-inflammatory power of omega-3 fish oils. Only bummer about fish oil is that it often tastes terrible and can give you fishy (read nasty) burps. But not Nordic Naturals Pro EPA lemon flavored omega 3 capsules. I don't know how they do it but they taste ok and don't make me think of fish all day long. Plus, Nordic Naturals has a reputation (well-founded, I think) for making a super-high-quality product that is very good about removing all the nasty heavy metals that can be found in fish.

I take a minimum of 3 capsules/day but I know SERIOUS longevity buffs who take a lot more than that on a daily basis. Besides helping you live longer, omega3 is supposedly very good for your skin, eyes, and brain. Also, omega 3 has been shown to be very effective in helping ADD and ADHD types to be able to focus more easily. For those of you who know me, its ADD-mitigation efficacy is explanation enough as to why I take Nordic Naturals ;-)

SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia, Vanilla Crème, 2-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I totally love the taste of stevia and SweetLeaf's vanilla creme is one of my favorite flavors. Totally delish on yogurt and in my green tea. Apparently, stevia is also diabetic safe which is not an issue for me but good to know SweetLeaf is not going to spike my glycemic index and make me a diabetic

Jim Barry 'The McRae Wood' Shiraz 2003 online now

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I had a bottle of Jim Barry's McRae Wood shiraz over the long weekend and it was awesome. Hailing from New Zealand, the McRae Wood had strong berry flavors that packed a wallop and then left a really nice finish (obviously I am not too good at winespeak). Anyway, I drank way too much of it. At least I got a good dose of resveratrol to help w/anti-aging!

I am definitely going to get some more bottles. Great to drink w/dinner of by itself. Plus I love the simple bottle label.

Mango Uprising- 10.5oz- 24 pack Sambazon Acai

First to recommend

Description

Sambazon Mango Uprising is an acai-laden mango smoothie. Sambazon smoothies are creamy in texture (but dairy free) and are loaded w/omega oils. I find all the sambazon drinks super-refreshing and the guarana in them gives a good energy boost too. Along w/a xocai bar, I often drink a Sambazon Mango Uprising first thing in the morning before a brutal session on my yoga mat or at the climbing wall.
