Discovered Health Products on the Shelf and On-Line
Here at the GGS Head Quarters, we love trying new food items. We get so excited when the new items we try are a hit. We’ve had many misses, like 0 calories Miracle Mayonanie (YUK) and mini cheese cakes, that were very deceiving in their calorie count. Very unimpressed. But on the positive side, we have discovered 3 new items that [...]
Review: Genuine Health Instant Smoothie a day Vegan+
I prefer getting my nutrition from whole, natural foods, but since I’m a pescetarian (I eat seafood, but otherwise follow a vegetarian diet), I’m always looking for easy ways to add protein to my diet. Of course, I go with all the standards—beans, eggs, nuts—but sometimes, an active girl like me needs a little help [...]

Review: Ryza Milk

Review: Gardein Protein Buffalo Wings
I hate when someone tries to be who they are not. Don’t you? I also hate when food products try to be something they are not. But, along came Gardein buffalo wings (meat free) trying to be the old stand by pub dish. I just had to see if they would even come close the real [...]

I had an opportunity to try out Stevia Extract In the Raw which is a an all-natural, zero calorie sweetener derived from the leafy green foliage of the Stevia plant grown in South American rain forests and Asian mountain valleys (now if that doesn’t sound healthy I don’t know what does).
