Stinkey Monkey Pudding

He gave me a sample of his Vanilla Matcha and Chocolate puddings and I indulged in much of both for breakfast! No one would be able to tell they were coconut based, gluten free, dairy free and vegan.

Daiya Cheese

Last year, I found this wonderful cheese alternative product called Daiya, made primarily from tapioca and arrowroot flours and pea protein. Available in 'Cheddar Style' and 'Italian Blend', it melts and stretches just like the 'real' thing!

Does Your Olive Oil Come in a Dark Bottle?

A diet rich in olive oil has been long recognized for its benefits in cardiovascular health, joint health, cancer prevention, skin and cognitive function due to its anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant properties.
