had a fantastic time with my family and it’s now January so all of you have made New Year’s

resolutions and possibly to eat healthier for the New Year and possibly to shift to

a plant-based diet for the New Year. So that’s exciting. I’m excited for you

guys and I want to help as best I can. One way that I have found is really helpful is

if you have the right kind of snacks because that’s where a lot of people fall off of

their goals is they get their meals down, but then when it comes to snack time you know

its really easy to jump for those left over cookies, left over chocolates, all those things

that are left over from the holidays or you kind of get in the cycle of being addicted

to chocolates and cookies and all that kind of good stuff which is fine for a little while.

But if it starts as an addiction and if it starts spiral out of control then you want

to kind of rein it a little bit and the best way I find to do that is to replace your unhealthy

snacks with healthy snacks and I have the perfect solution for you. My friends have

Vegan Cut’s have a snack box. They get mailed once a month and gives you a sample of nine

to fifteen different snack items and for January what they are doing is a healthy snack box.

So this is pretty exciting and I wanted to share with you a few of the things that are

going to be in this box. One of my favourite teases in this box Mighty

Leaf Green Tea Tropical whenever I see this on the menu in a restaurant I get it. There

is also a sample of Organic African Nectar which is now rivalling the Green Tea Tropical

for my favourite. Its organic African Rooibos with lively tropical notes.

I checked by the way with my friend who lived in South Africa for a while and how to pronounce

Rooibos because a lot of people have trouble pronouncing it and she said the way I pronounce

it is correct Rooibos and that they make Rooibos into ice tea for babies in South Africa because

they find it relieves a lot of common baby ailments.

There is also a sample of their Earl Grey. So you can tea yourself out. I find tea to

be a great way to keep myself warm and I also get something tasty in the middle of the afternoon

or in the middle of the morning when I would maybe think about snacking then I will have

some tea has no calories tastes great fantastic. Another favourite I was really excited to

see in this box - Hemp Hearts! - and they are from one of favourite company’s Manitoba

Harvest a Canadian company they source their seeds from Manitoba and Hemp parts are fantastic

because they are rich in omega 3 fatty acids which can help balance out if you’ve being

having too many plant oils. You would be having a lot of oily food over the holidays get some

hemp parts that balance out your omega 3. They are fantastic in smoothies, on cereal,

on porridge, on your salad, toss them into anything they have a very mild flavor, but

it’s a little bit nutty and they are soft. They’re not like a hard seed so these are

fantastic. And a new one I was really excited to try

salted caramel peanut butter from the three nuts. They make a lot of different flavours

of peanut butter and salted caramel is one in the snack box for January and this is cool

because it tastes really sweet and rich and flavourful.

There are spices in here as well as Vegan caramel made with just brown sugar and water.

Other ingredients are just peanuts, spices, and sea salt. So it’s a very natural way

to get a very sweet fix. It tastes really, really sweet even though there is no a whole

lot of sugar in here and it’s just really satisfying and rich. So if you are trying

to shift yourself off of those holiday treats in a healthier direction this is a good way

to go. And one last one I am going to mention today

is another favourite of mine Mary’s Gone Crackers and they are putting in the Super

Seed Crackers which --listen to the ingredients on this – brown rice, quinoa pumpkin seeds

, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, water, sea salt, sea weed, black

pepper and herbs. So you cannot get any healthier than these

crackers. They are perfect. They eve go really nicely with the salted caramel peanut butter

if you want to do that. So everything in these crackers is organic, gluten free, soya free,

non GMO, Vegan, no diary and they make them in their own facility so they know that there

is no gluten there is no issue with cross contamination with nuts or gluten or diary

or anything like that. So fantastic crackers that you can check out

in the box or on the shelf. So what you should do if you want to check out these products

plus a lot more you sign up for the Vegan Cut’s Snack Box. You can just ahead over

to website or put a link down below this video. I am super excited to see my box and enjoy

all the goodies and I may just sit here smelling teas for a little while. Alright so that’s

it for today, but I will see you later this week with a recipe using three of these four

products and I will let you guess which three.
