If you eat oatmeal, read this

Almost every night before bed, I start my slow cooker with steel-cut oats so they'll be perfectly ready in the morning.

They take less than a minute to prep at night before bed and zero time during the morning rush! 

While I love this for breakfast, I always choose Organic steel cut oats to make my oatmeal. Here's why…

Oats are one of those crops commonly contaminated with Roundup weedkiller (glyphosate).

This chemical is known to cause cancer.

Do you buy any of these brands or know someone who does?

• Perfect Parfait Porridge
• Easy Protein Oatmeal Packs
• Mini Zucchini Banana Muffins (Grind oats in blender to make flour)

I can't believe Whole Foods carries this...

If you know me, you know how strict I am about ingredients in products. Especially in Truvani products. 

I've essentially dedicated my life to calling out big name brands and getting healthier products on shelves. 

Which is why I was thrilled to see this BRAND NEW product at Whole Foods

Just the other day, I went there to pick up a few items. 

Organic bok choy for a side dish my kids love.

And organic papaya for my son who can eat the whole thing in one sitting. 

But as I was strolling the aisles, I was stopped in my tracks. 

There it was. I had never seen anything like this at Whole Foods. 

It's Truvani Plant-Based Protein Powder!

That's right. WE MADE IT!!! 

My company Truvani has finally made it into Whole Foods. I can't believe it!

This is such a dream come true.

My team and I are so grateful for your support, as we couldn't have done this without you. 

We want to thank you with a Contest Giveaway! 

3 people on Instagram will be chosen to win a $100 gift card to Whole Foods.

What are in those sandwiches anyways?

When I first heard that Chick-Fil-A was going to start serving up Cauliflower Sandwiches, my first thought was… WOW… you can get a vegetable sandwich at Chick-Fil-A??!?

But my second thought was…

What are in those sandwiches?

Knowing the crazy amount of processed ingredients they put in their chicken sandwiches…Let's just say I was REALLY suspicious. 

And now that I have the full list of ingredients for the Chick-Fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich in my hot little hands, it's safe to say my suspicions were confirmed. 

This sandwich is NOT what you'd think. 

See for yourself…

Read my NEW Chick-fil-A investigation: Click Here!

I get so angry when I see products like this because I used to be so duped by them! It checks all the boxes I'd look for… lower in calories, plant-based, easy to pick up on my busy lunch break. 

Well thankfully, I'm duped NO MORE. 

If you love Chick-Fil-A…don't despair! I have incredible copycat recipes that will satisfy your cravings without the nasty ingredients:

• "Chick-Fil-A" Chicken Sandwich Recipe
• "Chick-Fil-A" Waffle Fries Recipe
• "Chick-Fil-A" Chicken Nuggets Recipe
• "Chick-fil-A" Peppermint Chip Milkshake Recipe
• Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Recipe (try this instead of their sandwich!)

All of the major media networks (Today Show, CNN, Yahoo, The Washington Post, USA Today, Fox Business) wrote about Chick-fil-A's new Cauliflower Sandwich and never even bothered to investigate or report about the ingredients. All they did was promote it. It's shameful! This is why it's important to seek out independent investigative reporting on topics like this.

See what's inside Chick-fil-A's new Cauliflower Sandwich here! 

Please read and share this investigation with your friends and family. Don't let them be duped!

Claim Your 25% Off Now

I love hearing from our happy Truvani customers. 

There's one thing that always stands out with their stories.

What is it?

It's that they are usually ready for something new. 

Let me explain...

Some customers were using a different product that was similar. 

Like Angela R. who wanted to support her new health goals. She tried a protein powder her nutritionist recommended. But she switched to Truvani because the other one didn't taste very good. 

And now she's a super fan. She said, "I drink like two to three [scoops] a day because it really helps me with my sweet tooth."  

Then we have other customers who need an easy solution to support their busy lifestyle. 

Take Jennifer M. for example. She started making smoothies with our protein powder. They made the perfect quick breakfast for her kids. She warned us that these kiddos are tough critics. 

But as soon as they tried the smoothies... they said, "That's one of the best smoothies we've ever had!" 

No matter what your goals are, Truvani has the right products for you. 

That's why we are giving you 25% off on any non-subscription Truvani product. 

So you can try something new. And find the right product to support your health journey. 

All you need to do is click the link above, add your favorite items to your cart, and we'll take 25% off your non-subscription order.

I threw it away, immediately

I really did it.

I tossed out a turmeric supplement I trusted.

A full bottle right in the trash can.

Why? 

It's simple. The brand I trusted was sold to a huge conglomerate…

… a conglomerate known for selling toxic chemicals.

This infuriated me.

How can a company claim to make healthy products while selling chemicals that harm us?

It was around this time when I decided to take matters into my own hands.

So I co-founded Truvani, determined to make big changes in the food industry.

Since then we've created countless products and like a dream come true, they're now landing on the shelves of retailers all over the U.S.

And because I want you to have the chance to try them…

I've got great news for you

You can get 50% off the first month of any new product subscription.

Until tomorrow at midnight, you can start a new subscription featuring any Truvani product and get 50% off your first month.

This offer is a customer favorite for good reason.

Before you eat Doritos ever again, read this

A recent survey revealed that Doritos are the most popular snack in America, out-ranking M&M's. 

I probably shouldn't be surprised. I can hardly recall a time that I've gone to a party or outdoor cookout where Doritos aren't being served. Have you ever wondered WHY this is? What makes them so appealing?

I did some digging and found some insane facts about Doritos…

WATCH: Insane Facts About Doritos

100 million Americans consume Doritos each year. And 6.65 million Americans consume 8 or MORE bags a month. Eight!

WOW! I told you…It's insane how popular Doritos are

Doritos are designed in a factory to be highly addictive:

First, they contain MSG.

MSG is only added to food to make it taste so irresistible that you keep coming back for more. MSG is what they feed rats in scientific studies to make them fat. It also is associated with increased risk of obesity in humans. Studies show this additive can help you gain weight, despite how many calories you eat.

Then they pile on "Natural Flavors" and "Artificial Flavors".

These are proprietary mixtures crafted in a lab, which are very similar to MSG. These flavors are designed so that you experience the best 1 millionth part of the taste – so you keep wanting to go back for more and more, searching continuously for gratification – eating more of that product. 

Sound familiar???

This is how they hijack your taste buds so you can't stop eating Doritos. And keep buying more!

This is concerning because Doritos in America are filled with artificial colors that they don't use in other countries. These artificial colors are derived from petroleum and linked to several health issues, including allergies and hyperactivity in children, which require a warning label in Europe. Recent research shows they may also disrupt the immune system.

Doritos in the U.S. also contain GMO ingredients and have tested positive for Roundup weedkiller residues linked to cancer.

If you eat Doritos, is it time to stop buying them?

The decision is yours.

Thankfully, I found a way to make Homemade "Doritos", so you can stop buying the ones full of MSG and artificial ingredients. 

My homemade version tastes incredible too, especially when they are still a bit warm from the oven! You'll find my recipe for Homemade Doritos (which are organic and non-GMO) in the Food Babe Kitchen cookbook. If you don't have my cookbook yet, I posted the recipe on my blog, so you can try it ASAP! 

Click for Homemade "Doritos" Recipe! 

Please share this Doritos recipe with your friends and family who are still buying Doritos full of questionable ingredients.  

Are you going to stop buying them? Tell me in the comments here!

Get ready for Spring

Spring has officially sprung! And on top of spring break plans, spring cleaning is upon us.

So how about we start with cleaning up our healthy habits?

For a limited time, you can get 50% off the first month of any new product subscription.

Pick Your New Healthy Habit

I know a thing or two about trying something new…

I fought for years creating petitions to get companies to clean up their act and use better ingredients, but they weren't changing fast enough…

So I decided to take matters into my own hands and start my company, Truvani. 

Was it scary? Absolutely!

I had to do things that I'd never done before - like figuring out how to source ingredients, vet supplies, and actually create products!

But taking the leap and trying something new was the best decision I've ever made.

And I want to help you do the same, with any Truvani product that will help you meet your goals.

Claim 50% OFF Your First Month

I'm rooting for you.

Healthy Easter survival kit inside

When I was a child I was a candy ADDICT. 

I look back at childhood pictures and see myself gripping candy so no one would take it away from me. And whenever a new holiday came around, I was thrilled because those celebrations ALWAYS revolved around candy.

That's why I sometimes have to stop myself....

When I see shelves stocked with beautifully wrapped chocolate Easter eggs and decorated pastel treats, I really want to buy them for my kids. 

I get wrapped up in the nostalgia of childhood memories…but then I stop myself and remember to read the ingredients. 

It's always a shock to see so many controversial ingredients…

• Artificial colors which may disrupt the immune system and are linked to allergies, skin reactions, and hyperactivity. (Found in M&M's, Haribo, Brach's, Cadbury Eggs)
• TBHQ is linked to an increased risk of food allergies. It may also negatively affect the immune system. (Found in Reese's)
• Genetically modified (GMO) sugar and other ingredients treated with Roundup weed killer, a chemical linked to cancer. (Found in most conventional non-organic candy)

Don't our children deserve better?

That's why I choose to vote with my dollars… even when shopping for Easter candy. The fastest way to get this junk out of our food is to refuse to buy products made with horrible ingredients.

Look for brands such as YumEarth, Ocho, Black Forest, Alter Eco, and Lake Champlain. Instead of candy, you can also consider fun toys and stuffed animals.

These alternatives aren't all perfect and not something I recommend eating on a regular basis (it's candy!) - but they are so much better than conventional Easter candy in terms of ingredients. 

You could also stuff Easter baskets with these homemade Chocolate Turmeric Cups and Chocolate Goji Sea Salt Drops (so good!) 

And if you are going to be celebrating Easter with brunches and cookouts this weekend, I have delicious recipe ideas for you…

Cinnamon Raisin French Toast Crunch - Prep it the night before & feed a crowd

Chia Seed Fruit Salad - Tastes like dessert without refined sugar

Sweet Potato & Turkey Frittata - Perfect combo of savory & sweet

Healthy Pasta Salad - Starts with the best ingredients and packs in the veggies

Key Lime Pie Parfaits - Looks fancy, but easy to make

Carrot Cake Muffins - Super moist and delicious

Homemade Toaster Strudels - Don't let the name fool ya! Delicious pastries to die for. 

I hope you have a wonderful Easter and get to spend time with your loved ones! And, if you know anyone who could use an Easter candy makeover (or would like some new recipes) please send this email to them.
