Valentine’s Day Sweet Tooth Survival with HALO TOP CREAMERY

February 12, 2016

I have been OBSESSED with Halo Top  Creamery’s 100 % organic, low calorie, high protein ice cream, since I laid eyes on it.

This Valentine’s Day you don’t have to blow your wad with sugar and junk. Halo Top is so fun and satisfying and with 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving definitely makes it possible to feel loved (via food – come on, you know it works) and well taken care of – health wise!

(If the protein and fiber didn’t sell you, Halo Top is only 60-80 calories per serving, non-GMO and made with zero artificial preservatives or ingredients.)

Funny enough – a journalist for GQ recently binged on only Halo Top for 10 days! He lost 10 pounds and actually gained muscle! Crazy, right? Here is the article

MY fave flavor is Vanilla and Birthday Cake but they have everyone covered: Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Lemon Cake, Strawberry, Mint Chip, Chocolate Mocha Chip, and Birthday Cake.

For an extra boost of protein,  toss Halo Top in your protein shake, or even sandwich it between two Lenny & Larry’s protein cookies for an ice cream sandwich. The possibilities are truly endless.

I am in love with all the ideas below! Check them out on Instagram for more amazing ideas.

February 4, 2016

REBBL Elixirs are powered with stress fighting adaptogens for an all over glow. Naturally sourced, plant based adaptogens help fight the effects of premature aging and bring the body back into a state of balance, making them a wellness and beauty essential.

Winner of the Best Functional Beverage of 2015 and containing one of the hottest superfoods of 2016, REBBL is changing the dairy and soy free industry with its nutrient dense and equally delicious beverages. Wonderful by themselves and also a great addition to recipes, REBBL Elixirs can be enjoyed in many versatile ways.

Adaptogens, or known colloquially as super-herbs, function to help the body maintain homeostasis and provide optimal health benefits. These super-herbs include Maca Root, Turmeric, Reishi, Ashwagandha, Cat’s Claw, Ginseng, and Eleuthero. Adaptogens help the body better respond to stress, aid cognitive function, maintain stamina and endurance, relax, detoxify, and promote healthy immune function.

REBBL drinks have been formulated so that each blend of super herbs are working at efficacious levels. Both soy and dairy free, all REBBL beverages are made without additives like agave, carrageenan, and natural flavors that are found in many other alternative dairy beverages.


REBBL’s mission is embedded in helping those in need, as it is has partnered with non-profit Not For Sale that works to put an end to human trafficking and slavery. Through ethical sourcing, REBBL’s suppliers invest in the strength and wellbeing of the communities where they operate through providing medical care, housing, and clean water projects.
