My New Favorite Food Products of Late:
Trader Joe’s Almond Butter with Flax Seed – really good – I can’t quit eating this!
Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Aminos from Whole Foods – this is a “soy sauce” without soy, GMO’s or gluten. I make a salad dressing with lemon, olive oil and the coconut aminos that I just love.
