My Teen Loved The Benefits of Kombucha

My teen son agreed to try out the Kombucha Skincare Set. His first impression of the skin care set was about the cool look of the bottles. He liked the green, yellow, and orange colors with the bold black letters. My son also loved that these products were made with teens in mind.

Just like his mother, my son is into natural skin care products with clean ingredients. So my son liked the list of ingredients that he could easily read on the back of the products. When I explained to him that the products have the power of the good bacteria from Kombucha to help with acne, he was ready to use them as he tends to get plenty of zits.


My son used The Super Cleanse in the shower and liked how it cleansed his skin. He commented that The Clean Sweep was similar to his current routine of using witch hazel on his pores. My son usually does not use a moisturizer on his face but decided to apply The Moon Dream on his face before bed. He said that it absorbed quickly and made his skin so soft.

The other 2 products from the Kombucha set were ones that my son didn't try as he gave them to me. The Wake-Up-Call helped with my dark under-eye circles and I liked that The Simple Shield moisturizer had mineral sunscreen in it.

The Kombucha Skincare Set is one that my teen son will keep using as he likes the benefits of healthy balanced skin. 

No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Hemp Seed Protein Bars

 These no-bake hemp seed protein bars are amazing! Loaded with wholesome ingredients and plenty of protein with plenty of chocolate flavor. They are the perfect after-the-gym snack.


 After I work out, I always recover with plenty of protein. Protein helps your muscles recover after a workout and it is essential for building muscle. While most days, I consume a protein shake after the gym, as it is a quick and easy way to get my protein, there are days that I want to have a protein snack with some chewing. I like to have options for my high-protein meal.

 I have been training for a 5k race, so I have put more time into my workout sessions. So lately, I have been starving when I get home from my morning workouts and my protein shakes are not satisfying my hunger. So I have been grabbing cookies from the pantry to eat with my protein shake. So I thought to myself, why not just make some grab-and-go protein bars to eat for breakfast. 

Making healthy high protein bars 

 Since I wanted a substitute for my protein shake, I needed to create a protein bar with 20 grams of protein. So I took Easy No Bake Dairy Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bar recipe and made some ingredient changes to make it a high-protein granola bar. One of the ingredient changes that I made was adding protein powder, as this is one of the best ways to increase protein in a recipe. I usually use Nuzest plant-based protein in my protein recipes but I wanted to try a new protein powder.

 I recently discovered hemp seeds and I am loving all the nutritional benefits from eating hemp seeds. So I grabbed the bag of Hemp Protein Powder from my pantry, so I could start my baking. I also grabbed many other wholesome ingredients for my high-protein granola bar recipe.

Ingredients Needed

~ Evo Hemp Protein Powder

~ Oatmeal

~ Hemp Hearts 

~ Flaxseed Meal or Chia Seeds

~ Sunflower Seeds or Pumpkin Seeds

~ Maple Syrup

~ Applesauce

~ Peanut Butter

~ Coconut Oil

~ Hemp Chocolate Chunks

~ Vanilla


What is Hemp Seed?

 Most people hear the name hemp and immediately think of the marijuana plant. They also start thinking that hemp has THC and eating it will get you high. I am here to inform you that while hemp does come from the marijuana plant, it contains no THC, so you will not get high from eating any hemp products. 

 Hemp seed comes from the hemp plant. Hemp and marijuana are the same plant. The major difference is that hemp is a mixture of male and female cannabis plants. Hemp seeds do not contain any THC — in fact, they don’t contain any of the cannabinoids you’ll find in the flowers, leaves, and stalk of the rest of the hemp plant. The hemp plant is primarily grown for CBD, stalk, hemp seeds, and other highly beneficial and nutritious properties.


Nutritional Benefits of Hemp Seeds

 Hemp seeds or hemp hearts (hulled hemp seeds) are grown for their delicious nutty taste and nutritional benefits. Hemp seeds are loaded with protein and they contain all nine essential amino acids. Hemp seeds also contain healthy fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, 10g of protein, vitamins E, B6, and B1, and minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.  

 Many people consider the hemp seed a “superfood” because of its nutritional completeness! Think support for heart health, digestion, energy production, and so much more!

Hemp Seed is Delicious in Recipes

While many people like to sprinkle hemp seeds over things like oatmeal and yogurt, hemp seeds are awesome in recipes. These powerful superfood seeds add nutrition and protein to your favorite recipes. To get the maximum nutritional benefits of hemp seed, use these seeds in recipes that don't call for heating or baking, as that will lower the nutrition of the seeds. That is why I chose to make a no-bake hemp seed protein bar.

No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Hemp Seed Protein Bars

~ Are Plant-Based

~ Loaded with Protein

~ Gluten-Free

~ Vegan

~ Full of Fiber

~ Delicious

~ A Healthy Snack

~ Loaded with healthy fats from omega-3 and omega-6

How Is Hemp Protein Powder Made?

Hemp protein powder is made by grinding pressed hemp seeds into a fine powder. This powder yields an earthy taste similar to nuts and is perfect for adding to smoothies and shakes to boost their nutritional value! Evo Hemp Protein contains 27 grams of protein per serving.

Easy-to-Make Protein Bars with Plenty of Protein

These delicious protein bars are super easy to make and they are loaded with plenty of protein. While the hemp protein powder and hemp hearts contain protein, I also added other ingredients that contain protein like peanut butter and seeds. These bars have 12 grams of protein per serving! The sunflower seeds give these bars a crunchy nutty taste. I also added some chocolate chunks to the granola bars as I love chocolate.

 The chocolate chunks are also made with hemp hearts. You will love that these hemp milk chocolate chunks are 100% plant-based and sugar-free. The hemp milk chocolate has a rich & silky smooth taste and it tastes great on its own or sprinkled on ice cream.

Schar Artisan Bakers Bread ~ The Best Wheat-Free Bread

 When people discover I can't eat wheat, they always reply, "That must be hard, I could never give up bread!" When I discovered that I was allergic to wheat, giving up bread was hard. I was sad that I would never enjoy a slice of bread with butter.


 Having multiple food allergies can be tough, especially when they happen as an adult. Finding allergy-friendly foods that are similar to the ones you used to enjoy can be even tougher. The one food most difficult to find a wheat-free replacement for was bread. 

 Shopping for gluten-free bread that tastes good can be a difficult task. While there are many gluten-free types of bread at the store, many of them do not have the same texture as regular wheat bread. Then there is the problem of finding a gluten-free bread that also does not contain dairy or soy. 

 After spending tons of money on dry hard loaves of gluten-free bread, I finally discovered a gluten-free bread that has a soft texture and a delicious taste. Schar Artisan Baker bread makes eating wheat-free enjoyable. I no longer have to miss the taste of bread and butter.

I received samples to facilitate this article, opinions are my own

Grocery shopping is a process that requires reading labels for ingredients and finding foods that you can eat can be tough. Finding allergy-friendly food that tastes good is even tougher.

 Finding bread without wheat, dairy, and soy that resembled real bread was hard. Most of the gluten-free breads that I tried were hard with weird textures. I had almost given up on eating bread. Then I tried Schar Artisan Baker Bread and I was able to love bread again.

One bite was all I needed to make this my favorite wheat-free bread. These delicious loaves of bread are available in white, multigrain, and 10 grains & seeds. 

 I love all three varieties of Schar Artisan Bakers Bread. My favorite way to enjoy this bread is straight out of the package with plenty of vegan butter. I also enjoy this bread with avocado slices and everything bagel spice. This bread is also amazing for plant-based burgers. 

 Schar Artisan Baker Bread has an irresistible texture that is perfect for avocado toast and other favorite sandwiches.
