Juice it Your Way

Juicing has been on my radar for about two years.

My parents dabbled into juicing awhile back, and that’s when I first was introduced. After reading many blogs and articles, I’ve been really interested and wanting to try it out for myself.

When the opportunity came along for me to try out the SimpleTaste Slow Masticating Juicer Extractor, I just couldn’t pass it up.

Now that I’ve tried it out, I’m so excited to share with you about this SimpleTaste Juicer.

 

SimpleTaste is a brand under the umbrella of 1byone. This company , 1byone, passionately creates products that makes people’s lives better, easier, and more fulfilling. They create a large variety of products under 1byone, Beautural, Simpletaste and Naturalife brands. Their affordable, high quality products give users 100% satisfaction.

This juicer is a slow masticating juicer, not to be confused with a centrifugal juicer.

So, what’s the difference?

 

Masticating juicers operate at roughly 80 RPM. A centrifugal juicer runs much faster; somewhere between 3,500-14,000 RPM. This difference is drastically different.

The effective, slow rotating auger squeezes out every last drop of juice from your fruits, vegetables, greens, and even wheatgrass.

 

Why is a slow, masticating juicer better?

The auger that slowly rotates, allows this masticating juicer to crush all parts of the fruits and veggies. The effectiveness of the slow turning auger gives you every last drop of juice from the food, leaving none behind. The slowness of the juicer provides a better juice, and more importantly, a better nutrient yield.

The masticating juicer protects and maintains healthy enzymes and allows juice to be stored for up to 72 hours without degradation.

There is less foam created with a masticating juicer and the juice won’t layer into sections after sometime.

Because of the slowness of the masticating juicer, there is no heat created from the juicing process. No heat means no oxidation is taking place. This is much different that a centrifugal juicer. The faster power of a centrifugal juicer creates heat which can cause oxidation. The oxidation process destroys nutrients that the fruits and veggies hold, therefore creating a less nutrient juice.

So all in all, go with a masticating juicer. The nutrients are greater, the juice is better, and you’re getting every last drop of juice from your fruits and veggies.

The juicer is very easy to clean. This is one of my favorite aspects of it. The parts are completely detachable, and there is no extra tools needed. A cleaning brush is included when you buy the juicer, and it’s truly all you need to clean it after juicing.

Purchasing the juicer includes:

  • SimpleTaste Slow Juicer
  • Cleaning Brush
  • Juice and Residue Containers
  • Instruction manual
  • 30-day full refund
  • 12-month warranty

 

I love that the juicer is safe and easy to use. My son was helping me juice some celery the other day and I was not concerned at all about his safety. The shoot is long and the extra piece on top helps ensure little (or big!) fingers stay safe.

The slow juicer is really quite. Like seriously guys, you hardly know it’s on when you’re juicing. I especially love this. I use my food processor a lot, almost everyday. It’s loud, like unreasonably loud. This juicer though, no sound. It’s the best. My kids like that it’s quiet too! They don’t cry when I turn it on, AND I can use it while they’re napping!

SimpleTaste’s slow masticating juicer extractor is all around a really great juicer. The quietness of it is perfect for everyone; you’ll appreciate that. This juicer is easy to put together and take apart; cleaning is a breeze because of this. You’ll be happy with the slowness of the juicer because it packs all the nutrients and doesn’t leave anything behind.

Happy Tummy, Healthy Tummy

Snacks are an all time must for kids.

If my son could, he would eat snacks all day and not have any meals.

Snacks are just… better. At least in a kids mind they are.

NurturMe makes snacking easy, quick, and most importantly healthy.

This tummy friendly brand creates snacks for all members of the family.

 

Free from gluten, dairy, soy and egg.

No added preservatives, sugars or salts.

Certified organic, non-GMO and kosher.

Organic Quinoa Cereal

This protein packed cereal is perfect for new eaters. The quinoa cereal is free from common allergens that often upset sensitive baby bellies. Quinoa is full of naturally occurring plant based nutrients. These nutrients include aiding in digestion, nutrient absorption, and supporting growth patterns. The cereal is full of probiotics too. Delivering a daily dose of probiotics to your child, this cereal good for any baby belly!

Organic Power Blends Food Pouches

It seems like every kid likes food pouches. They’re easy to figure out and taste yummy to their little palate. Parents love them too. Easy to grab snacks are the greatest, and when they’re made out of organic fruit and veggies no one can dispute them. They are so easy to throw in the diaper bag and have on hand whenever you need. A win-win for parents and kiddos!

I love giving my kids these food pouches because they are made from 100% organic fruits and vegetables. The inactivated cultures strengthen your child’s health defenses by supporting their immune health.

Their two different types of the power blends – Super Immunity and Ancient Grains. The Ancient Grains stand out to me because they are packed with nutrients that come from quinoa, millet, amaranth, and sorghum. These complete proteins provide nutrients like amino acid, antioxidants, natural fiber, and more.

Organic Dairy Free Yogurt Food Pouches

These dairy-free yogurt alternative food pouches are perfect for those kiddos who are allergic to dairy. This yogurt is the first that’s made from organic, non dairy quinoa milk, coconut cream, and pea protein. It seems like everything these days is full of extra sugar; but NOT this yogurt. This no sugar added yogurt will keep your kiddo happy and healthy! The pouches are easy to digest and are full of three grams of plant based protein. Your lactose-free (or not!) child can enjoy this as a yummy snack or a nutritious breakfast in two available flavors.

Yum-a-roo’s

My 10 month old son eats these up.

They don’t call them yum-a-roo’s for no reason!

Literally the only ingredient in this snack is fruit and veggies. The bite sized pieces are very easily dissolvable. This snack doesn’t give me any cause for concern while my son eats them. Dried fruit is yummy in anyones belly. Give them a try!

100% Quinoa Squares

My kids love these quinoa squares. These puffed quinoa crackers have the same texture as cheese puffs; and tell me, what kid doesn’t love cheese puffs? I really like these puffs because they are so easy to take on the go. We put them in the pool bag and eat them during swim breaks.

The bags are re-sealable using a zipper closure. This makes moving them from bag to bag really easy. Coming in three different flavors, your kids will love these squares. These puffs are easily dissolvable so they’re great for young kids too. I recommend keeping an eye on the littles while they’re eating these. My son is 10 months old and he hides them in his mouth easily. Just be cautious (as with all food babies eat! ;)).

Organic Ancient Grains Cookies

I’m not a huge fan of these cookies. They are super crumbly and crummy. After eating them I have a film in my mouth that is hard to get rid of. But despite my not liking these, my two-year-old LOVES them. It makes me feel good about giving these to him because they’re pretty healthy, considering they’re cookies. I think I’ll have to go for something else to satiate my healthy cookie needs! There are high protein cookies by Lenny & Larry that I think will be great to try. Just for me though, the kids aren’t getting their hands on these ones.

These cookies are made from organic ancient grains including quinoa, millet, and sorghum. A full daily serving of probiotics gives these cookies an even extra boost.

How to Stay Healthy on an Overnight Trip

How to Stay Healthy on an Overnight Camping Trip

Introduction

Camping with the family is always a brilliant time. We try and get out to a campsite at least once a year for a week or so and just lose ourselves in nature. We used to take a big tent that we would all sleep in but my husband bought us an RV from Halterman’s RV a few years back and we’ve not looked back!

So, when it comes the time of year where we can take the RV Covers off and finally hit the road, we want to make sure we keep healthy throughout our trip and don’t resort to any unhygienic bad habits! A healthy overnight camping trip isn’t the easiest thing to pull off. This is especially the case when you’re in with your children and you’re wondering what it will take for things to go smoothly.

Luckily, there are a number of do-it-yourself tricks that will make it easier for you and your family to enjoy your next camping trip out in the woods.

Three Healthy Tips

There are dozens of tips out there that you can utilize in order to make your camping trip an experience to remember.

However, in this article, we are going to focus on the three specific healthy tips from Outdoorsy.co that deal with staying healthy when you’re on an overnight camping trip.

Towelrod Bathroom Organizer

Keeping your toiletries neatly organized on the road can be tricky and this is even more so the case when you’re in an RV camper or trailer. It would definitely be worth taking a look through some RV consumer guides to find out more about other peoples experiences and tips to help you get started!

However, if you’re looking to keep your shampoos, gels, and soaps organized for you and your family, you should consider purchasing a towel-rod bathroom organizer.

Your different items will be kept orderly and in place, and the towel rod can be installed on the bathroom counter or on the wall near the bathtub.

Command Hooks

Whether its’ for your clothes, your kitchen supplies, or for your electrical cords, having a supply of command hooks will help you keep your RV camper safe and orderly for the duration of your trip. If you don’t already have a functioning RV Battery, you certainly need to get one. You really don’t want to be stuck in the cold with no power. If you don’t know what to look for from an RV battery, this top 10 best list will help you decide which is the best for you!

Command hooks are multi-purpose items and can really come in handy when you’re on the road.

If you want to do things like keep your clothes dry, make sure your children are out of reach from electrical cords, or have easy access to aluminum foil, you may want to invest in a command hook before the next camping trip.

Shower Lines

Lastly, if you do not have the luxury of having a place to put your toiletries on a counter or shelf, you may want to consider buying a shower line.

A shower line is effective in holding multiple small bottles of soap, body wash, shampoo, and other toiletries together by being hooked to a lanyard, which you can put over the shower head to have it hang there for you and your family to use.

While not the most convenient solution, if you don’t have much space in the RV camper and you still want easy access to wash your hair and clean your body, getting a shower line could be your best bet.

If you’re not sure where to find shower lines to buy, you can easily purchase them from Amazon.com. Here’s the link to one of the most popular brands: ShowerLine Shower Caddy

Conclusion

Whether you’re camping for just one night or for the whole week, these three tips will help you to stay fresh and healthy during your next adventure.

LoveBug Probiotics – The Best Option for Your Family

LoveBug Probiotics – The Best Option in Probiotics For Your Family

You my have heard about probiotics by this point, but do you really know what they are? While sites like Pure Path provide a helpful guide on probiotics and their uses, many people are still unaware of what they offer and why you should be taking them? Here is a simple breakdown of probiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. – WebMD

Why Do You Need A Probiotic?

Stress, changes in your diet, contaminated food, chlorinated water, and numerous other factors can also alter the bacterial flora in the intestinal tract. This can cause a bunch of problems with how you digest your food and water, and you may require some supplements in the forms of liquids to help you with them. When your colon (part of the digestive track) is not in prime working condition, it affects all of your digestion. Some people get belly aches, have inconstant bowel movements, gas, and many types of issues. When you take a probiotic, which is loaded with live cultures, it helps aid your gut in proper digestion. This is why taking probiotics are important for your overall health.

Why Should You Choose LoveBug Over Other Probiotics?

Probiotics in general cannot be fully absorbed and reach their full potential. This is because the gut has acids which break down everything which passes. Because of this you typically only get around 4% of the benefits from a standard probiotic. Now with LoveBug Probiotics, which developed their pills to carry past this strong acid barrier, you can get up to 60% of the probiotic into the gut! This is a HUGE break through and makes a substantial difference. You want the probiotics to get past to they can get into your digestive track; this is where they can really benefit you the most. If you are not absorbing them, what good are they doing for you?

Where Can You Buy LoveBug?

Here is a listing of retailers who can you purchase LoveBug though. But my favorite is always Amazon!

What LoveBug Has to Offer

LoveBug has so much to offer. With products ranging from babies into adulthood, they have the perfect option for you and everyone in your family. Whether you are male or female, you can get what you want from your probiotics with LoveBug.

Here’s The Skinny

Here’s the Skinny can streamline digestive function, quell sensitive stomachs, improve energy levels and elevate mood. The included strains were carefully selected by our scientists and combined with Bio-Tract®, our patented probiotic protection and time-release technology, our tablets are far more effective than other products on the market.

Colds Suck

The common cold is a monster torturing its victims with days or even weeks of coughing, wheezing, sore throat and completely sapped energy. The key to avoiding the pain and suffering with colds can lie within – our immune systems get wrecked by diet, stress, antibiotics, and other culprits, leaving us vulnerable. Colds Suck supplements are designed to strengthen your immune system by arming you with our proprietary blend of good bacteria and helpful vitamins and minerals. This probiotic punch helps repopulate your microbiome with an army of the good bugs.

Colds Suck supplements contain a deliberate combination of 4 probiotic strains and immune-boosting vitamins.

Yeast is a Beast

This proprietary blend of probiotics is designed to promote optimal urinary tract health. It contains Lactobacillus strains that work to produce lactic acid, lowering the pH of the vagina to make it acidic and therefore inhospitable to harmful pathogens. Additionally, the novel Cran-Gyn™ (Cranberry Extract) additive helps squelch growth of bad bacteria from taking hold; it contains cranberry extract and D-mannose. Products that include d-mannose, like HARMONY Urinary Tract & Bladder Cleanse, are ideal for those looking to maintain their urinary health and avoid infection.

Yeast is a Beast can also help streamline a woman’s digestive function, immune response and yeast levels. Like our other probiotics, this supplement incorporates BIO-tract® technology to ensure as many organisms survive digestion and reach the digestive tract to do their work.

Labor of Love

Labor of Love features a specialized blend of probiotics formulated for the specialized needs of expectant mothers and their growing infants. The billions of helpful bacteria in every capsule are designed to help nurture mom and baby before and after delivery, with 250 mcg of folate to help prevent a variety of birth defects.

Probiotics like those packed into Labor of Love can aid digestion, boost nutrition absorption and reduce constipation for happy moms and babies. Also, just like our other probiotics, this supplement uses BIO-tract® technology to help as many organisms survive digestion and reach the digestive tract to do their work.

Little Ones (Ages 4+)

Our Little Ones probiotic is geared toward helping your child build a strong, balanced microbiome-crucial for their development, as well as their lifelong physical and mental well-being. Each kid-size sphere is designed to populate their gut with beneficial bacteria, helping them build immunity so they can grow up strong and healthy.

Many probiotic supplements for kids miss the mark with chewable tablets, or formulations that contain sugar and other undesirables. Little Ones probiotics incorporates patented BIO-tract® technology, protecting the organisms and releasing them gradually for 15 times the effectiveness of other supplements. Also, by avoiding sugar, gluten, and other no-no ingredients, LoveBug probiotics avoid triggering sugar cravings and do not contain any of the 8 major allergens (fish, crustacean, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, eggs and soy), so there’s nothing standing in the way of healthy, happy kids.

Tiny Tummies (0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-4 years options)

Studies show a healthy, well-balanced digestive system can have a positive impact on a child’s entire life. What’s more, by the time that child reaches the age of three, the microbiome already closely resembles that of a totally grown person. Setting the foundation of a healthy, balanced gut can affect its health during childhood, and for years to come.

Tiny Tummies probiotics are designed to help parents promote the foundation of a healthy gut during this important stage of development. Like all of our probiotics, Tiny Tummies uses BIO-tract® technology to help as many bacteria as possible survive digestion to reach the digestive tract and do their work.
