Lemon NuNaturals Liquid Stevia

I love this stuff! Funny, when I first got it I wasn’t sure if I would use it or how I would use it. I found ways to use this and am already through my first jar of it  icon wink Diva <3 Approved

Ways I use it…

- Water, Apple cider vinegar, and lemon stevia together for a drink!

- Lemon Berry Smoothie 

- Berry and Lemon Oatmeal Parfait

- plain chobani, berries, and the lemon stevia

The Real Deal Veggie Chips

These are the chips I was raving about at lunch, they are the best veggie chips I have ever had! I discovered them today at my local natural food store and so happy I bought them! They have other flavors and other snacks as well, visit their site! I am hooked and I need to try their other stuff too! I am SO happy when I find stuff that is new and is awesome, spreading the love!

Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter

Ahhhhhh-mazing! I just want to know when they will make this available everywhere, not just certain Whole Foods! I was lucky enough that my beautiful friend Jessica sent me another jar when she found it while traveling, my first jar almost gone! I will be sad when I am empty handed, the flavor of this is just amazing! I guess I could try to make my own at home sometime, but not the same!

The Simply Bar Peanut Butter Chocolate

I like this flavor and the lemon coconut flavors the best out of the 4 I got to try!  I really hope to try the cocoa raspberry one day, that sounds like it would be great! Heads up for a giveaway involving these soon!

Chobani Champions Vanilla Chocolate Chunk

What a yummy and healthy dessert! I love this flavor, so good! I have to say this is my favorite one of the chobani champions flavors, great for a sweet night time treat!

Frozen Dark Sweet Cherries

I love cherries and I like them frozen for a yummy smoothie or to add to overnight oats as well! I know what I am making tomorrow morning, a smoothie containing these  icon biggrin Diva <3 Approved

Woeber’s Spicy Brown Mustard

I was looking for a new mustard since my beloved TJ’s one is gone, I picked this up last week and have been enjoying it. I like plain mustard but really love mustard with a kick better and this is good stuff  icon biggrin Diva <3 Approved

I usually just make dressing with my mustard…

balsamic+mustard+stevia = yummy dressing!

SoDelicious Almond Plus Milk Unsweetened

Well…….it is a win! I used it the past couple days and I do love it! I love that it has so much protein too, double bonus! I love my beloved silk the best, but this stuff rocks as well! I want to compare them side by side in a taste test though soon  icon biggrin Diva <3 Approved

Trader Joe’s Mahi Mahi Burgers

As I said earlier, these were very good! I have had the whole foods ones before and I think they both match up equally in taste! You could cook these up and have lunch for the week, put one in a salad or on sandwich like I did earlier.

Essie “Lights”

LOVE this pink color, it is SO bright and SO fun! This color is from the essie  ”Poppy-Razzi” collection, I love all the colors that this collection contains, so pretty! If you are looking for a pink pop on your nails for the summer, this is a essie win!

Well friends, I am off to get some sushi to go! Mike is actually getting chinese but I am doing the sushi thing  icon biggrin Diva <3 Approved

Happy Thursday night and see you in the morning!

Ohh where do you get your frozen cherries? I LOVE cherries and usually get the very cherry frozen mix in TJ’s but I’d love to get just the cherries. mm

That nut butter sounds good, but aren’t there added sugars and oils in Justin’s Nut Butters?

Hey love! I wanted to let you know that i’m still reading your wonderful posts. Sorry I haven’t been commenting as much the past few weeks…been super busy getting settled into a summer schedule with my class and internship/work. But I’m thinking things will settle down now so woohoo! I’m loving everything in this post especially those mahi mahi burgers. Delicious!

Love ya!

No! I should though, I found other trader joe stuff on there!

I think I’m going to have to pick up some of that lemon stevia. I can use it in a lot of things! Oh, and those cherries… yum. My approved list this week includes Annie’s Shells and Cheddar. I’m a fan!

11 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:42 am

Yes, it is very good!

Annie’s has some good stuff!

Girl, you roll the right way (no pun intended)— good choice on sushi for dinner! I’ve been craving some sushi myself. Great. Thanks. As far as food goes, I think the Diva would approve of this…TJ’s Soy Sesame Ginger salad dressing. SO good. It pairs well with a salad of spinach, mandarin oranges, and a Morningstar veggie burger, specifically the California style avocado sundried tomato burgers <—LOVE! Those should also be Diva approved. I need to try Chobani Champions. It looks so good, but the smaller, kid-sized containers always hold me back. Why don't they make the fun flavors for big kids? =)

13 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:41 am

Lol! ;)

Yes sushi I love! I was craving it too!

Oh that dressing sounds awesome, I will have to check it out! I bet it would be good in a chicken salad too! I do like the morningstar burgers, I think I have had that flavor, I love the mushroom one they have too!!

I know, we need fun flavors for us! <3

14 Melissa June 14, 2012 at 10:07 pm

WOW, you get such fun foods in the states! It always takes so long for things to get to Canada and often we don’t get most of the stuff anyway haha. I have been wanting to try the lemon stevia, protein almond milk, and justins almond butter, yum!

Reply

15 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:39 am

At least some of it gets there though, right? :)

16 Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile June 14, 2012 at 10:12 pm

I LOVE the lemon stevia too!! Especially in Greek yogurt, so yummy :D
I want to try so many things in this post, ahh!

17 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:38 am

Yes, I love it in greek yogurt with berries! Yum!

18 Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats June 14, 2012 at 10:37 pm

I want to find that almond butter SO bad! :( They don’t have at the Whole Foods here! One of my favorite things over the past week has been a salad dressing I found. It is one of the Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressings…I think it is called Caesar Parmigiano. I have been making bowls with chicken, celery, peppers, and stir fry veggies in them and eating it cold for lunch with some Trader Joe’s thin mini savory crackers!

19 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:38 am

They do not have it at mine either : p I will be sad when both of my jars are gone!

Oh that sounds awesome Abby! <3

Oh my goodness! I would love to try those mahi mahi burgers! Ohhhhh I wish I could get my hands on those! So happy to hear your favourite flavour of The Simply Bar :) I have been wondering ;) They have so many wonderful flavours! I cannot get enough of the lemon stevia, either! It is definitely my favourite. I use the orange the least.

Reply

21 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:37 am

The mahi burgers are really good!

Yeah the simply bars are good, they are great for a snack since low calories and high protein! I can’t say I am in LOVE with the taste of each one, but they are good and I don’t hate them!

I just bought the “Peach Daiquiri” Essie polish a couple weeks ago. I keep waiting for the moment I feel brave enough to give myself a manicure. ha!

And after I spent about $35 alone on fresh produce today, I’m SURE I would consider each thing that went in my cart, diva approved. ;)

23 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:36 am

Oh that color is so pretty! Maybe this weekend you can paint your nails :)

Diva approved produce for sure ;)

I love the chocolate Cho Champions! It’s total dessert!!

Agreed ;)

I wish they sold frozen cherries at my grocery store, sadly they don’t. I wish I could try out all your diva approved products! I don’t think Canada has any of those things yet in stores haha. How lame. Stevia is my fave thing! I want to try the new lemon flavour though, it sounds quite tasty! Especially in the apple cider vinegar drink

Reply

27 Kat @ a dash of fairydust June 15, 2012 at 4:32 am

Gosh,I am SO jealous you can get all that stuff,seriously! I think if I’d visit the US,I would take an extra-bag for food with me,haha :D But maybe it’s better if I stay in Germany because I’d be so sad being forced to go back home and not getting my hands on all that awesome stuff again…

Reply

28 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 6:34 am

I bet you guys have awesome stuff there too, stuff that I would love! You should come visit! Your suitcase would be loaded with food, hehe!

The veggie chips and the vanilla Justin’s peanut butter sound amazing! Where did you find the veggie chips? I’ve never seen them before.

They are awesome! I found them at my local natural food store! SO damn good!

I found a new Yogi Tea that is Diva approved for me – raspberry energy or something like that – sooo good.

I was you first winner on instagram for #teatime12. Was it the stevia I won??? Weeeeeeee! ( if so – did you get my email btw)

Reply

32 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 9:34 am

Oh that sounds very good!

YES I got your email! I am waiting on one more email from a winner, if they don’t email me then I am just going to move on!

I buy the Justins Maple Almond Butter, its soooooo good!

Good news- the Giant Eagle Market District stores have Justin’s nut butters! I was just at the one on Center Ave (right near Trader Joe’s) and they had quite a few flavors and the little single serve squeeze packs, too! I am with jaren- I LOVE the maple.
I am so excited to see vanilla hazelnut! I used to get that tea in a different brand, but they stopped making it! :( Where did you find it?
Oh- and the lemon stevia- is that from Whole Foods?

Reply

37 Healthy Diva June 15, 2012 at 9:32 am

YES! I know they sell them there but they only have the vanilla one at whole foods! I love the maple, I agree!!!!

I found that tea at SunnyBridge Natural Food Store in Mcmurray, love that place!

The lemon stevia you can get online at http://www.nunaturals.com/

Happy Weekend!!
