• 99% of the 'protein bars' available on grocery store shelves are packed with sugar in various forms, and skimp on actual quality protein. Here are the few that I'd recommend ordering online, to have a healthy fast food on the go:
  • Bulletproof Collagen Protein bars
  • Designs for Health bars
  • Advanced Athletics Grass-fed Whey bars, you can buy at Erewhon or follow the highlighted link to order online.

• For the ultra-busy individual that doesn't have the time to cook or needs a little help learning how, check out these services:
  • Kore Kitchen
  • Blue Apron 
  • Owl is a local small company owned by Lindsey and her partner in Venice. They specialize in making nourishing broth and smoothie cleanses, and incredible meal prep services, including a 21 Day Elimination Diet!

Kitchen Saviors

• My favorite glass food storage containers you can find at Costco or Amazon here.
• For protein shakes on the go, use these shaker cups
• The goddess of all blenders, the Vitamix. She's an upfront investment, but you can get refurbished models directly from Vitamix that are like new and at a great price. I use this baby multiple times a day, from my coffee and tonics, to protein shakes, puddings, yogurt, soups, ice cream, and more. Do it, just do it; it'll open a world of healthy possibilities. www.Vitamix.com
• Right up there with a Vitamix, a crockpot is one of the most valuable kitchen accessories for healthy and convenient cooking. Just throw in a few ingredients, turn it on, and your meal is waiting for you when you get home from work.  THIS is the model I use, and it's portable so I can take my delicious nourishing dishes to potlucks and dinner parties.
• Cuisinart Food Processors are awesome fun tools that save time and energy in the kitchen.  I love mine particularly for when I'm making cultured veggies; instead of all that effort chopping and grating each item, this baby dices it all up in a fraction of the time.
