All in Products we Love
If you’re like me and you love all things spiced every time fall rolls around, this flavor profile is a great summer spin on the theme – that pairs especially well with grilled tropical fruits.. Ganache is usually made with a 1:1 ratio of dark chocolate and heavy cream but this is easily made dairy free and vegan by swapping the grass fed heavy cream for coconut cream and being mindful of your chocolate sourcing.

We all made pandemic discoveries – like learning we didn’t miss eating out as much as we thought we would – and one of ours was finally ditching bottled shampoo and conditioner. Did you know 552 million plastic shampoo bottles end up in landfills every year in America? For perspective, that’s enough to fill 1,164 football fields.
Ever wondered how a brand came to be? Wondered about the person or people behind the brand? Us too. Welcome to Behind the Brand, a new series giving you the chance to get to know the people behind some of our favorite clean brands.
Let’s get real for a second. One of the most difficult things to overcome in our clean food journeys has been forgetting to pack snacks or adequately plan meals when leaving the house for the day. The results have been (*ahem*) trying, to say the least. We’ve found ourselves staring sadly at one another in desperation, reading every label, praying for a damn piece of fruit more times than we can count.
There’s not a lot of room to hide in a bottle of olive oil. Industry standards require that extra virgin olive oil must have an acidity below 0.8% and taste like fresh olives. Those kind of requirements don’t allow a lot of wiggle room for funky additives or chemicals. At Cobram Estate, they don’t allow themselves any wiggle room at all.
Cūrata says, “sustainable luxury means choices you can live with, embodied in products you can’t live without.” Not only do we think that’s a cool slogan, we also totally agree with the sentiment.
Most natural deodorants are the pits.
To varying degrees, the consistency is off and sometimes you have to dig them out of little pots and the stuff gets under your fingernails and it’s gross. Some of the fragrances are a little weird; they stop working within minutes, hours, or weeks of use. Most leave a mightily unattractive, oily stain under the arms.
Every single one of Goddess Garden’s sunscreen lotions earns a score of 1 (the safest you can get), from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) — that means the sunscreens are ranked as the top choice for UVA protection, and they’ve been shown to provide a good balance of UVA protection in relation to SPF.
It almost sounds like a Hollywood movie: Two brothers from Abilene, Kansas. A juice-devoted, health-nut mom. A childhood spent working hard in the garden, growing organic fruits and vegetables, completely unaware that anyone does anything differently.
Bars are big business so by now you’ve probably tried most of the ones on the market (and probably a whole bunch that eventually fell by the wayside, too).
That’s kind of the way we felt about the bar brouhaha, too…until we met R.e.d.d.
We’re lucky to live during a time when we have so many food options. We can go into most grocery stores — anywhere in the country! — and cobble together enough ingredients to make an allergen-friendly feast. Speaking personally, we couldn’t even say that five years ago, outside of straight-up meat and veg.
We’ve been drinking bone broth for years. Although, truly, if you want to get technical about it, we’ve been eating it for decades, because we grew up on soups of all sorts, most of them divined — alchemical-style — out of a pot full of water, some vegetables, and a big pile of bones. Bone broths have sustained us through childhood sicknesses, broken hearts, and most recently, through some nasty bouts of autoimmune crises. In so many ways, bone broth is life-sustaining.
Beef jerky could be a perfect Paleo snack (and we’re big fans of Epic Bars), but many of the jerkies on the market have way too much sugar for our comfort (not to mention other no-no’s in the seasonings, like soy sauce and gluten-laced MSG).
