Lots and lots of goodies

So Friday when I got home I had 6 packages waiting for me!!!!  The first package was from Oh! Nuts  which contained a pound each of raw cashews, raw almonds, and roasted unsalted pistachios! 




Yumm I love nuts and these are delicious!  Without the salt you get to really taste the flavor and sweetness of the nut!  They are so yummy!  I think I might use some of them in a few bakes goodies maybe!  Thanks so much Oh! Nuts  If you love nuts and are looking for some at a good price with great taste you should go check out their website here.....http://www.ohnuts.com/

The second package was from Nutridel!  They sent me 2 packs of their cookies in the following flavors:
  • Pecan

  • Oatmeal

This is what Nutridel has to say about their delicious crunchy cookies:



NUTRIDEL is an artisan, gourmet cookie, made by hand in small batches with all-natural, earth-loving high quality ingredients.


 
The brand is a concoction of the words “NUTRItious” and “DELicious”, exactly what our cookies represent. Our products are 100% natural, contain no additives, preservatives, artificial colorings, flavorings or sweeteners of any kind. They are loaded with seeds, grains, nuts, fiber and sweetened with a touch of molasses.

 
NUTRIDEL contains no animal or dairy products of any kind. Our cookies are baked to perfection, and the result is a crispy, crunchy snack you can enjoy any time with guilt-free pleasure!

Each individual retail package contains 2 cookies per pack in a sealed and individually labeled plastic bag. Each cookie is around 3.5” in diameter and weighs 1 oz.

 
These cookies are very thin and crunchy and full of flavor!  I tried the Pecan flavor and they are really delicious!  They aren't very sweet but they are satisfying and delicious!  Go check out their website here and buy some....http://www.nutridel.com/
 
The third package was from Mor Beverage.  Here is a little bit about the company and their products! 
 

The inspiration for mor came from a lot of different places, but first and foremost, it came from founder Matt Anderson's own thirst for something different. Back in 2005, he realized one day that he wanted something like mor himself: a functional, revitalizing beverage that didn't overload his body with stimulants, with a second-to-none flavor and very few calories.


At the time, while many of the energy/fortified/vitamin enhanced drinks on the market delivered the nutritional benefits he wanted; most of them delivered something else he didn't want at all: lots of sugar, caffeine, and artificial colors and flavors.

And that's when it hit him: if he wanted a different kind of beverage, maybe a lot of other people did, too. So Matt got to work learning about the best way to make the perfect everyday refreshment for everyday people. People who want light, great-tasting refreshment with an invigorating, nourishing lift instead of an instant, shocking jolt. Basically, thirsty people everywhere.

 
Matt spent the next three years talking with nutrition experts and beverage professionals, learning about the efficacy and benefits of various herbs, extracts, and vitamins, as well as the various properties of sugar-free sweeteners.

And after what seemed like endless research, experimentation, and tasting, he finally hit on exactly what he was looking for, and called it mor.

I was sent this refreshing beverage in the following flavors:
  • Pomegranate Lemon
  • Cranberry
  • Raspberry Strawberry 
I tried the Pomegranate Lemon and it was so yummy!  It tastes like Pomegranate Lemonade and I did notice a slight boost but not with the crash of a regular energy drink.  Also these are much more calorie friendly than most energy drinks.  They contain only 5 calories for a 12 oz can!  GO check out their website and buy some of these delicious drinks.....http://www.morbeverage.com/

The fourth package was from Mix 1! This company makes pre packaged protein shakes in a bunch of fun flavors.  This is what Mix 1 has to say about their products:

It seems our days have become increasingly packed with events as we juggle family, work, and fitness leaving less time to focus on eating right throughout the day.


 
There are many nutritional products claiming to deliver amazing benefits but in reality fall short on balanced nutrition. With this in mind, we started mix1 with the following mission: to create the highest quality all-natural products that promote health, wellness and performance through truly functional nutrition.

mix1 products deliver all-natural balanced nutrition with multiple benefits in a convenient way. We use the right balance of ingredients, at efficacious levels, to provide the maximum benefit to your body.

I haven't tried these yet but when I do I will be sure to tell you how they taste and how good they make me feel!

The fifth package was from Buffalo Bills Beef Jerky!  YUM!  I love beef jerky and this doesn't disappoint! They sent me the following flavors:
  • Barbeque

  • Honey Pepper

  • Spicy

  • Teriyaki

  •  Mild

This beef jerky is probably the best I've ever tasted!  It's not tough and hard as a rock like most beef jerky!  It's moist and delicious and has such good flavor!  My favorite was the Mild....it had a little bit of heat but not really and it was moist and chewy and sooo yummy!  Not to mention beef jerky is packed with protein so it keeps you full and makes for a very filling and healthy snack!  If you are looking for some delicious beef jerky check this company out.  Here is their website where you can buy this delicious jerky!  Stock up because it won't last long.....Buffalo Bills Beef Jerky
