I was recently contacted by Viva Labs - a company that sells organic, healthy food items on Amazon. A while back I worked with them testing out their extra-virigin organic coconut oil (and LOVED it). They asked if I was up for helping again, and of course I said yes!
They sent me five different products to test:
Maca Powder (this isn't available for purchase yet)
Over the next month, I'll be testing out all five of these products for both myself, my dog and in my beauty routine. I'm really intrigued to see what happens!
Out of all the products on the list, cacao powder (coco powder) is probably the most well known. It is the raw form of coco beans, but powdered. It is bitter, but super chocolately. This is the key ingredient in my all-time fav sauce for Spanish/Mexican cuisine.. mole!! Now that I have some, I'm totally going to make my own mole. woo!
I've decided to test out the chia seeds first. Read more about them here.
Day 1 was successful. I added 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to a cup of cold tap water (mainly just to see what happened). The seeds soaked up the water and gradually sank down into the water. They don't have much of a taste at all, just like tapioca pearls but WAY smaller. I actually enjoyed drinking my water with the seeds. I did keep a spoon handy to stir the water though. Thinking a waterbottle next time so I can shake it up.
Hmm.. what to do next? Any suggestions?
If you've tried these products, let me know you're favorite way to use them! Happy Testing!
