I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost my cooking mojo with the heat and pandemic cooking burnout. I’ve been trying out a bunch of new, healthy products that are making things a bit easier. These products help add nutritious foods to the mix with limited effort or time required.
5 Healthy Food Product Hacks for Summer
SaladPower – These smoothie pouches deliver more than twice your daily recommended serving of vegetables in one tasty pouch. They only a small amount of apple and lemon for taste but otherwise, it’s just vegetables. The recipe provides maximum nutrient density without excess sugar. The pouches are shelf stable but they’re best served chilled. I’ve been enjoying them after working out. Get SaladPower online.

They also have a new keto line. You just grab from the freezer, add your favorite liquid and blend. I’m not a big smoothie drinker, but these have been hitting the spot. They’re very tasty and packed with nutrients! They come in 8 flavors. Get Blendtopia online.
Akua Kelp Burgers – My friends from Akua sent me their new kelp burgers to try. They’re “the world’s first” kelp burgers. These plant based, vegan burgers are made with ocean farmed kelp, mushrooms and superfoods. They’re non-GMO, soy free and gluten free. They have an even balance of fat, carbs and protein. They’re frozen and are easy to throw on a grill or a pan for a quick lunch or dinner. Even my carnivore husband enjoys them! Get Akua Kelp Burgers online for your summer cookouts.

Super Lucky Elephant and Village Harvest – Super Lucky Elephant makes NON-GMO jasmine rice in a variety of global flavors available in ready to eat pouches. In 90 seconds, you have a perfectly cooked base for your curry or a side dish for whatever you’re serving. Village Harvest makes organic, ready to serve, microwaveable rice and grains.

You can get both at many stores and on Amazon (some varieties).
