Genuine Health Energy Ball Recipe (Modified)

So you know those pricey energy balls you can buy at a certain large big box healthy supermarket? Well, you can make them on your own and its pretty easy (trust me). They are a great pre workout snack. Here is the recipe I made last weekend with Genuine Health Fermented Vegan Proteins+ 

Ingredients:

1 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup dried blueberries

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup dried whole coconut chips, unsweetened

1 scoop of chocolate Genuine Health Fermented Vegan Proteins+

8 soft dates, pitted

Juice and zest from one lemon

Method:

Combine all ingredients into a food processor. Blend until Combined and roll into 1 inch balls. Can be in the fridge for a week or the freezer for a month.

eLo Review

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of hosting a Love List Lounge sponsored by SkinnyGirl Sparklers at TechStyleNYC. Besides chatting with media and fashionistas, I met Timothy George of eLo Lipcare. We actually bonded over the fact we were silver shoe twins – but I digress 😉

I was so busy during TechStyleNYC that I didn’t have a chance to try out any eLo products until this weekend! Little did I know, that I was definitely in for a treat.

With less than 6 ingredients per product, it leaves your lips moist and smooth. It also has a smell that makes you want to eat the entire tube. That last reason alone makes eLo a winner in my books!

Here is the ingredients in the products I ordered (full list of products and their corresponding ingredients can be found on the site).

DAY – avocado oil, jojoba oil, spf15, peach extracts

NIGHT – shea oil, jojoba oil, vitamin e, spearmint oil, vanilla extracts

SANGRIA – shea oil, jojoba oil, spf15, coconut oil, watermelon extracts, Bordeaux mica

MINT – macadamia oil, jojoba oil, organic raw cane sugar, organic agave nectar, spearmint extracts

The not-so-secret secret to ELo’s success, is that products are made in small batches of 40. No mass production here! The extra bonus is that this yummy, curated lip care now ships to Canada! Win win! Yay!
