Heather's Snack Attack: PB Thins

When I get hungry I get cranky, so I need to always arm myself with emergency snacks for when I am on the go!

Unfortunately so many of my favorite foods or snacks are loaded with calories or fat. That's why I always prefer to snack on something that comes in a package and that makes it easy to gauge what and how much I am eating.

My latest favorite snack attack item are PBThins, peanut butter crackers. They are all natural, no preservatives, and even better they have only 100 calories!

Today I munched on them while I was drinking my daily coffee and almond milk, and they went so great together! The ingredients list speaks for itself: no artificial colors or flavors.

What's even better is that they taste delicious - nutty and just right.

Get them at your nearest Whole Foods or buy them online.

Born to Glow Tanning

Everyone knows it's really unhealthy to tan  - it increases your risk of skin cancer, and makes your skin leathery and wrinkly before its time.

Luckily there's some fun, safe alternatives to tanning that will have you looking just like you spent the day in Malibu.

Born To Glow is a mobile spray tanning salon that offers heated sunless airbrushing, which involves using warm air and infused heat directly in the tanning spray. This gives the whole experience a completely new twist than if you do Mystic tanning.

The tan lasts longer and looks natural! None of that embarrassing streaky look and no  fear that you'll come out looking like Snookie's older sister.

The tanning process takes about 30 minutes and starts at $150 for a full body spray.

Try them out and tell us what you think!

Justin'g Almond Butter: The Perfect Snack

I love finding good snacks to go, and that's why I am totally in love with Justin's Nut Butter. It' a creamy and tasty nut butter that you can get in different flavors: almond, peanut, hazelnut, honey almond and chocolate hazelnut.

You can get them in individual packs or in big bottles. But the packs are why I love this snack so much. It's an easy way to watch your caloric intake and to monitor exactly how much you're actually taking in. Whenever I'm hungry, I just snap open one of the packs while knowing exactly how many calories and fat content I'm really eating.

What's even better are the ingredients. Justin's is a really clean food. The ingredients include only the following: Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Natural Vanilla, Sea Salt.

Get them at Whole Foods or at your local health food shop. You'll love them!

EatMe Cookies' New Eggless Egg Salad

I have blogged about EatMe Cookies before, but they have a brand new product that I am totally digging. 

It's their new Eggless Egg Salad, which is fabulous because it's vegan, gluten-free and oil-free, and without any preservatives that traditional egg salads have. You can use this spread on crackers, bread, vegetables or anything your heart desires.  Trust me, this doesn't taste like any old vegan egg salad, it's to die for. It's rich, creamy and everything that egg salad should be.

You can find this new dish at Erewhon Natural Foods: 7660 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90036
