As you know, Miss Grace is on a Gluten-Free, remineralizing diet, so we are on the lookout for products that are made with healthy ingredients that she CAN have, and that are perfect for on-the-go eating,
which we have every morning before dance class, as we have a 45 min drive there! And as you know, getting a 6 yr old up EARLY on a Saturday morning and trying to get her fed can be a chore similar to that of feeding an angry lion! So anything that can make our lives easier, but provide her with the needed energy for dance class, is welcome in our house!
Komplete Ultimate Shakes, from Kate Farms, are the world’s first vegan dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free ready to drink meal replacement shake, certified made with organic ingredients. Komplete is available in three delicious flavors that kids will love—Cocoa Fudge, Vanilla Bliss and Jav’a Latte. With a 1-year shelf life expectancy, they help extend your budget, and provide with a healthy meal when you need one! Komplete’s creamy blend of all-natural ingredients will satisfy even the pickiest taste buds.
In each Komplete Ultimate Shake there is a blend of 21 superfoods including, but not limited to acai, mangosteen, black currants, raspberries, green tea extract, etc., with antioxidants, high protein and vitamin rich ingredients, to fuel your kids with the nutrition they need. After all, starting children on a nutritious path from a young age will create lifelong healthy eating patterns and they won’t even know they’re drinking something that’s good for them. And because the cartons are recyclable too, they're good for the environment! I like that they have an actual cap- so you don't have to worry about a straw, and can close and reopen with ease!
Miss Grace is not a huge plain shake fan, and we are only now introducing her to organic sugar free, chocolate, so we started her off with the Vanilla. Miss Picky was too sure about it- but when I added some raspberries and blueberries and blended them together and put it over ice for a smoothie to go? Yup- totally disappeared-so much for being picky! LOL. I did the same with the chocolate and she loved it too! I tried the Java and found it really provided me with all the nutrients I needed as well- I wasn't hungry for 4 hours! Much better than other meal replacement shakes I've tried! And with 17 and 19 grams of protein- they REALLY give Miss Grace the energy she needs to get through an intensive Irish Dance class!

The second item we were sent to review was samples from each one of the new Usana protein bar line:
USANA Health Sciences's new line of gluten-free protein snacks will not only keep your kid full, but satisfy their sweet tooth too! The new protein snacks are non-GMO, contain no trans-fats, are gluten and egg free, and come in three yummy flavors including Choco Chip, Peanutty Bliss, and Fudge Delite. These soft and chewy snacks each contain at least 11 grams of protein and are all under 180 calories—ensuring your children aren’t packing in unnecessary calories.
As you can see above, the bars are not huge, but let me tell you they pack a punch with that 11 grams of protein! We've decided that the choco-chip is our favorite- it tastes EXACTLY like regular chocolate chip cookie dough! Yup- you're gonna LOVE that one! The peanutty bar has a layer of 'peanut butter' on top for extra richness, and the fudge delight has chocolate as you can see,and has an almost brownie taste. All of these are tasty and good for about 3 hours of hunger free energy! You'll find yourself surprised at how well they keep you going for being so small! We highly recommend them!
So as you can see, there are some new healthy meal replacement foods out there, that are not only better for your body, but last LONGER than so called replacement shakes. So even if you just want to cut back before the food rich holiday season starts, check out these 2 new products and add them to your pantry!
