My Thoughts

The coffee variety in the Mega Sampler is the best! It contains 40 different kinds of coffee! There are light roasts, medium roasts, dark roasts and flavored coffees. There is even a mystery flavor. My favorite so far? I loved the Bosco Chocolate Carmel, BBR Corner Donut Shop, BBR Breakfast Blend, Hamilton Mills Vanilla Bean and the Java Factories Smooth Caffeinator.  I love using k-cups because they are portable. Which makes them great for taking along on road trips or for sharing with a friend. The Two Rivers Coffee Company makes my favorite coffees. I love all of the products that they have. This sampler contains a lot of great coffees! Enjoy TWC k-cups either iced or hot.

Having a summer get together or party? The Mega Sampler is great because there is a coffee k-cup for everyone's taste!

Nestle ProNourish® Digestive Wellness Drink Now Available in Chocolate!



Do you want to take control of your digestive sensitivities? If so, try Nestlé Health Science ProNourish® Drinks. They are a snack or mini-meal that is formulated to avoid certain ingredients that can trigger digestive discomfort. Nowadays, we all live busy, active lifestyles and the last thing we need is digestive discomfort getting in the way. Nestlé has created this nutritional drink to help with these discomforts and side effects from food intolerances. ProNourish® is now available in Chocolate!


IMG_5639



These drinks are formulated to be low in FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols) as well as other ingredients that may trigger digestive discomfort. FODMAP is an acronym for a specific group of carbohydrates that can be difficult for some of us to digest. These types of carbohydrates can be poorly absorbed and can cause bloating, severe abdominal pain, gas, constipation, or diarrhea. Diets that are low in FODMAPs may reduce these symptoms. If you are dealing with digestive sensitivities, it could be FODMAPs that are causing your discomfort.
ProNourish® Digestive Wellness Drinks contain 15 grams of high-quality protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals and 3 grams of fiber. One 8 fluid ounce serving is 170 calories and contains only 6 grams of sugars. ProNourish® is gluten-free, and they do not contain any sugar alcohols, artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup. Suitable for those who suffer from a lactose intolerance.


IMG_5658



How ProNourish® has helped me
Drinking one ProNourish® a day as part of a low FODMAP diet has eased my stomach discomfort, bloating and gas. Some days, I feel like my stomach is so uneasy and I'd do anything to make the discomfort go away. I have tried special diets, other drinks, but nothing seems to help quite like ProNourish®. I love the newest chocolate flavor. I love it's taste because it tastes just like a milkshake! This drink fits my dietary needs because it allows me to follow a diet that's low in FODMAPs. ProNourish® contains the nutrients that I need to keep me full in between meals. It's is an everyday drink that can be enjoyed on-the-go, for lunch, breakfast, or as a snack.

My Thoughts

Wink Naturals Products don't contain any harsh chemicals so I feel good about using them on my kiddos. My boys love soaping themselves up as well as making lots of bubbles for a bubble bath with the bath wash. I love it because it leaves their skin so soft. The scent of the bath wash is light, not overbearing. Just enough scent to leave their skin smelling fresh! After a bath, they cover themselves in Wink Naturals Llama Lotion. This lotion also smells good, has a light lavender scent and leaves their skin soft and smooth. My older son has little bumps(from dry skin) on his upper arms and cheeks, and this lotion really help sooth those dry spots. The teething gel works well for tooth aches and teething. It's safe for baby to use because its drug-free. I love how this teething gel can also be used as a training toothpaste.

I am a big fan of Wink Naturals! I will definitely need to stock up on the Bath Wash because summer is right around the corner. And I know that my kiddos are going to get dirty! A LOT! ;)
