My Chi Delights

I recently had a really special (and delicious) opportunity to try out the especially tasty and super healthy snacks, My Chi Delights.


Not only are they locally handcrafted right here in Seattle, but they are:

- All natural
- Gluten Free
- Vegan
- Contain 5 g. of protein
- Crunchy, wholesome, and downright delicious

I tried the Coconut, Almond & Sesame flavor after a particularly difficult vinyasa yoga class, and they brought me right back to planet earth.



I loved the sharp, clean crunch and instant flavor.

And the variety of flavors was remarkable, it is hard to say which was my favorite, you have Seaweed, Almond, & Sesame; Coconut, Almond, & Sesame; Almond & Sesame; Ginger, Almond, & Sesame; and even Green Tea, Almond, & Sesame. Try an Assortment Box and you will get the full spectrum experience!




You can take these little beauties hiking, biking, or on your way out the door to the gym, Cross Fit, or your son’s soccer practice. I know that many mornings it is all I can do to get myself out of bed in the morning, let alone grab something healthy to sustain me throughout a hectic work day; but these handy little packages of wholesome ingredients like coconut, almond, ginger, and green tea, lasted me throughout the morning. Combine them with a stiff soy latte, and you have a power duo.  Nutritious and filling, you definitely won’t regret their flavor and convenience.
Find these at your local markets, such as PCC or Metropolitan Market, and even REI, or the University Bookstore.
Happy Friday!

my new favorite salad.

It's so simple, so fresh, so healthy, and so comforting. No, it's not a chocolate salad. In fact, I didn't even put any dressing on it.


There are only five ingredients. I find that this is a quick pick me up on the weekends, after yoga, for breakfast, or when I don't want a full lunch.

Ingredients:

1 ruby red grapefruit, supremed
1 blood orange, supremed
1 ripe avocado
1 small bunch cilantro
1 tbsp. honey
1/4 c. pistachios, optional (I chose not to add them)

Method:

Gently combine all ingredients (that's it!)
