Hint’s motto is ?drink water, not sugar,? and when you crack open their bottle of flavored water you do just that. Hint’s subtle flavor is the point of the drink. Hint wants you to drink water but with just a hint of fruit or vegetables. Hint Tropical Punch contains kiwi, pineapple, and other tropical fruits combined with filtered water. I enjoyed the fruity flavor of the water. It’s not overbearing, not too sweet, not too bitter. Forget that overly sweet other stuff and try water with a spritz of flavor.
Hint is a new company, but they are already receiving some publicity. It’s for sale at Whole Foods, buy online or click here for more locations. The bottles are made from PET and the wide mouth is great for drinking and refilling.

Seeds of Change sells all types of products including salsa, rice and grains, salad dressings and frozen entées, but they also sell their own organic seeds. The name Seeds of Change stems from their farm where millions of seeds have been planted since 1989 to produce organic plants, fruits and veggies. They put their hearts and minds into crafting a range of recipes that use only the world’s most flavorful ingredients.
The Athenian Orzo is a rich and complex dish that comes frozen and only takes 4-5 minutes in the microwave or 50 minutes in a regular oven to prepare. The orzo contains whole wheat flour, lentils, tomatoes, riccota, broccoli, zucchini, red peppers, portobello mushrooms, agave syrup, garlic, carrots, celery, onions and spices. This dish has a distinct robust flavor that is uniquely mediterranean. The bite from the feta cheese really brings the dish together. The portions are perfect for lunch, and there is not the afterlunch slump that you can get from heavier pasta dishes.
Athenian Orzo is also vegetarian. The box is a little misleading because it says “vegetarian chicken flavor,” however if you read further, there is no chicken used. There is milk and cheese.
Opa!

The tofu’s out of the bag. I can post about my trip on the Munchmobile, finally. The Munchmobile is part of the Star Ledger, the largest circulated newspaper in Jersey, where you drive around in a van with a giant hot dog on top, trying different local restaurants all summer long. Each week, on the trip, there is a new type of place and I was fortunate enough to land a spot on the Vegetarian/Healthy trip.
The article is finally done and in the paper today. If you have the Star Ledger, check it out, if not read about the trip here.
My short review is also posted online, click here for that link. In addition to reading, click here to see some pictures from the beautiful day of munching and the videos are online also, click this.
Finally, I expanded on my original review after the drop, so click the header to read the full post.

Yerba Mate is a drink that comes from the South American plant, Yerba. It’s referred to as the Drink of the Gods and is consumed daily for optimum health, sustained energy, and mental clarity. This organic beverage is not only loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, but it contains caffeine. The Pure Endurance from Guayaki packs a powerful punch.
It’s sweetened with organic cane, tangerine and orange juice and is citrusy, but not overbearing. It’s more of a tangy flavor. I am not one to drink loads of caffeine, and this mate has loads of it. But it’s all natural and gave me more energy than I actually needed. The kick was a sustained jolt for a few hours with no crash.
Coincidentally, the other day I was watching the Travel Channel and one of the shows featured the tourguide drinking fresh yerba right out of a gourd. I was very jealous!
You can read my previous post about Guayaki here and stay tuned for more.

Lauren has this wonderful habit of making granola. I’m not going to give her secret away, but it involves a dehydrator, some fruit and time. The most recent batch was her best. It was full of Newman’s Own Organic’s Cranberries, dried blueberries, coconut flakes, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, maple syrup and some elbow grease. Normally, I won’t eat cranberries or coconut, but the granola does not taste like either. The cranberries were very soft, tender and not too bitter. Lauren’s granola has tons of flavor in each crunchy handful. My favorite obviously, are the big clumps, but there is never a boring bite.
She eats it with vanilla yogurt like those expensive yogurts you can buy at the supermarkets. I prefer eating it plain. Either way, it’s amazing. You can’t buy this in stores yet people. But if you want some, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
