well geeze, when was the last time i did one of these?!

okay, so yay, product reviews are back! not that they ever really disappeared, i just forgot about doing them. in the summer time i have plenty of time to shop, read magazines, and find new products to try. during the school year, the only shopping i do is at the market and that is a chore in itself!

we recently crossed over to the organic side of life, thanks to earth fare coming to town. the only thing that was ever holding us back from shopping organic was the price difference; but after we made the switch we realized that we weren't spending that much more money each week eating organically compared to conventionally. we also realized we were buying less junk and wasting less food.

y'all know that we love good food, love to cook, and earth fare has introduced us to some of the yummiest food we have ever had! plus, we have felt a lot better, health wise. not convinced yet? then you need to watch food inc. and food matters, two wonderful documentaries. they are very eye opening and really challenged me to look at what i am putting into my body. if we really believe that our bodies are temples and that we need to be good stewards of the earth, then we needed to change.

we like to call this process "becoming granola". it is so funny to me because for the first 22 years of my life i was the pickiest eater ever and my diet consisted mostly of bland, yellow foods, and now i am trying to spread the word on how to be healthy. knowledge is power and it is our job as the consumer to know what we are eating.

okay, so back to the product. this is the BEST CHOCOLATE MILK YOU WILL EVER TASTE. i am not kidding. run to your nearest earth fare {i bet whole foods has it too} and get you some. it is so thick and creamy - think melted down milkshake good. it is a perfect after workout treat or dessert. it comes from homestead creamery in virginia and is packaged in glass jugs that you can return for a deposit. so fun!

as always, let me know your thoughts!
