Snacks I'm keeping in my bag this Summer

If I can stop one goal of the Big Food industry it would be this:

Refuse to buy snacks designed to be addictive that have no nutritional value. 

Most snacks are full of nutritionally-dead ingredients like refined sugar and refined flour–even snacks for kids like Goldfish, Fruit Roll Ups, Go-gurts and Cheez-Its.

They're designed to be easy to eat and dissolve in the mouth quickly, which makes you (and the kids!) keep wanting more and more. 

It's one of the ways that the processed food industry hooks children on their products from a young age, putting them on a processed-food bandwagon that can be hard to break later in life. 

It's time to stop letting the food industry hook us on nutrition-less dead food.

That's why I put together this list of 5 of my favorite snacks that I carry everywhere…for myself, the kids, and my husband too! 

These snacks aren't made with refined sugars and flours, and are much healthier than most traditional packaged snacks:

    1. Artisana Almond Butter Packets
    2. Gaea Olives 
    3. Paleovalley Meat Sticks
    4. Brad's Kale Chips
    5. Truvani The Only Bar 

If you've never considered a dried meat product, Paleovalley is better than the gas station kind...

100% grass-fed beef or pasture-raised chickens (no hormones, antibiotics, or grain-fed nonsense)

Naturally fermented (which means they contain beneficial probiotics for gut health - something you'll never find in conventional jerky)

NO weird preservatives or artificial ingredients (no encapsulated citric acid from GMO corn coated in hydrogenated oils + free from GMOs, gluten, grains, corn, soy, and dairy)

No refrigeration needed (perfect for travel, school lunches, and emergency snacks)

The best part? When you eat these instead of sugary snacks, they stay satisfied for hours. 

And with back-to-school season coming up, I'm stocking up because I know how crazy our schedule is about to get. 

These are perfect for:

  • Packing in lunch boxes
  • After-school snacks before activities
  • Road trips and family vacations

They perfect for plane rides, hiking trips, and even to the beach. 

Since I love to share with you what my family loves, I partnered with Paleovalley to get you an amazing deal:

CLICK HERE: Get 15% OFF Paleovalley with code FOODBABE

Trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back to those mystery-meat sticks (or Goldfish!). Your kids will thank you, and your to-go bag will be stocked with snacks you can feel good about.

Stock up now for back-to-school - you're going to need them!

Truvani Prime Day: Back In Stock!

Happy Prime Day!

My company, Truvani, and I have decided to do something special this year…

Last Prime Day, we sold out of ALL flavors of our Plant-Based Protein Powder within 24 hours. 

As sad as it was, it was so validating to see: 

You're on board with my mission to make clean ingredients go mainstream. 

So this Amazon Prime Day, I'm offering one of our best protein deals ever:

Up to 40% OFF (MSRP) select flavors of Plant-Based Protein Powder for a limited time.

But don't worry. This time, I have more products available. 

But to be sure, I recommend you act now if you want to take advantage of my Prime Deal:

Get your next favorite flavor for as low as $32.99 with FAST prime shipping:

We expect just as much demand as last year, and there's a reason for that… 

Each flavor of Truvani Plant-Based Protein is made with minimal, organic ingredients you'll recognize. 

20g Protein. Only 1g Sugar. NO gums, fillers, or artificial junk. 

Our Chocolate and Vanilla are the #1 and #2 best-selling plant protein products at Sprouts Farmers Market

And most recently hit shelves at Walmart and Target, two of the largest retailers in the world.

But we've launched 3 more flavors since last Prime Day:

Mint Chocolate:

The perfect summer treat: creamy and refreshing from organic wild Mediterranean mint. It tastes like melted mint chocolate ice cream! This flavor became a best-seller for good reason. 

Chocolate Strawberry & Strawberry

Both of our newest flavors, made with organic strawberries sourced from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. No "natural flavors" or Red 40 for engineered taste or unnecessary color. When we say strawberry in the title, we mean it. 

But we have many more obsession-worthy flavors to choose from: Choose My Flavor

Prime Day ends soon, and these savings are going away with it.

Don't miss your chance to save up to 40% OFF select flavors of our internet-famous Plant-Based Protein Powders

I can't wait to see which flavors you pick!

I love this kitchen appliance so much I brought it on vacation!

My slow cooker just went on beach vacation with my family!

I might be the only person in the world who brings their slow cooker on a family vacation... but I shouldn't be. This little appliance is a lifesaver for me in so many ways. 

Here it is relaxing by the pool :)

I use my 360 Cookware Stainless Steel Slow Cooker at home almost every day, so I couldn't bear to be without it.

I brought the 2.3 quart with me in my checked luggage, and it fit perfectly. 

I was able to cook our organic steel cut oatmeal for breakfast (I just put the oats and water in it before bed and it's ready to eat first thing in the morning!)

I also used it almost every day to heat up food, so that when we came back from hiking or swimming I wouldn't have to be busy in the kitchen making food for us. We could come back to a warm healthy meal and didn't need to go out to eat at restaurants for every meal. 

The best part? Since it's stainless steel, it's SO EASY to clean compared to those ceramic slow cookers. If you've ever tried to clean a standard slow cooker that's been cooking all day, you know what a pain that is! With the 360 Slow Cooker, you just put a little soap and let it sit for a minute and quickly scrub. Boom, DONE!

As I've shared in the past, you have to be very careful about the slow cooker you choose because many brands use coatings that contain toxic chemicals that can leach into your food. This is why you want to avoid all slow cookers with a ceramic insert – which is almost every brand out there.

With 360 Cookware, you don't need to worry about any of that. Their products are stainless steel and free of any harmful coatings such as PFAS, PFOS, PFOA and PTFE.

Since I love this brand so much and think everyone should have one...

I was able to partner with them to offer you an incredible deal:

CLICK HERE: Take 25% OFF Cookware 360 when you use code FOODBABE

I promise you that even if you don't take yours on vacation, this is a kitchen appliance that you will love to use. 

At home, we use it to keep dishes warm while we're out in the morning so that we have a warm lunch when we get back. I just stick the food in here with some water and let it steam to stay hot, so it's ready to go when we come in from our morning activities. It's absolutely incredible and has made my life so much more efficient. One time I put it on the highest setting and it boiled water! That's pretty amazing.

I can't recommend this slow cooker enough. It has four different settings for the heat, which is great too. The value I get from this slow cooker is extraordinary. 

Get your 25% discount on everything Cookware 360 when you use the exclusive code FOODBABE

Food Babe's 4th of July recipe round-up is here!

The other day I was investigating products at a grocery store and came across a big 4th of July display full of all the essentials… crackers, dips, buns, BBQ sauce, ketchup, baked beans, sweet tea, and even those big sugar cookies painted red, white and blue.

Although it can be tempting to load up your cart with this stuff (it's wayyyy too easy)...I never do this anymore.

Eating this type of food – even just on a holiday – used to make me feel horrible. I'd wake up with a food hangover with a puffy face.

I've since learned that it's not worth it to sacrifice my health and weight with additive-filled processed foods on holidays – and now I've figured out how to celebrate with fun and festive real food that is actually healthy.

You'll find most of my favorite recipes inside my cookbooks, Food Babe Family and Food Babe Kitchen...

But if you don't have these cookbooks yet, don't worry–I've got you covered. I can't keep all this deliciousness to myself!

Here's Food Babe's 4th of July recipe round-up. Mix & match your favorites: 

Main Dishes...

Appetizers, Sides & Salads...

Treats...

You'll find more recipes like this in my cookbooks. Pick up your copy here today or at any bookstore: 

  • Food Babe Family: A candid look into my life and what my family eats. I walk you through how I feed my children (and myself!) on a daily basis, with over 100 delicious and simple recipes. 
  • Food Babe Kitchen: Over 100 mouthwatering recipes to show you how delicious and simple it is to eat healthy real food, along with a comprehensive grocery shopping guide.

I wish you and your loved ones a healthy and safe 4th of July!

Please forward this email to your friends and family to share these healthy and organic 4th of July recipes.

What do you plan on making?

Xo,

Vani
