Carrot Hotdog

Today I got to try a very weird hotdog, a carrot hotdog. At the Los Angeles farmers market there is this small stand called Fritzi Dog, the only vegan hotdog they carry is the carrot dog. At first I was very hesitant to try it because it's literally just a carrot, having braces, it kind of scared me haha. Also, I wasn't sure if adding ketchup to a carrot hotdog was "normal". Anyways, when I bit into it I was relived because it was surprisingly really soft. The flavor reminded me of the samosas that Whole Foods sells, which are good, but I wasn't really into it. The bread and tots were good though.

Mamma Chia-coconut mango

Bobo's Oat Bars -Coconut $2.70

After the strange carrot hotdog concept I stopped by Whole Foods and saw they had a deal on their Mamma Chia drinks, plus the lovely ceo Janie sent me some more coupons! So I took advantage of the deal and got myself coconut mango and guava mamma, I haven't tried the guava mamma yet but the coconut one is really good. Also, I have been seeing a lot of Bobo's lately so I thought I should give it a go. I got the coconut flavor, it's wheat free, vegan, and non-gmo. I really liked this bar because it was very filling, soft, and moist enough. The bar has two servings, 180 calories per serving, 3g fiber, and 8g sugar. I think this bar is perfect if you're on the go because it will fill you up fast.

Mamma Chia

So when I volunteered at World Fest the people at the Mamma Chia tent were super kind enough to give me and my sister a free bottle and since then I've been waiting to get more! Although I was not a fan of chia being in drinks after tasting a kombucha chia drink and I did not like the texture of it ( or maybe it was the acidity of the kombucha that made it weird for me). Anyway I first tried the Blackberry Hibiscus at the fest and I loved it! It wasn't too sweet but still had a good flavor to it. Today I bought the Blackberry Hibiscus again and I got to try a new flavor, Cranberry Lemonade, which was again pretty damn good. If I forgot to mention, chia seeds are these tiny wonderful seeds that are high in fiber, calcium, magnesium, and Omega-3.

This drink contains 120 Calories. 2500mg of Omega-3. 965mg of Omega-6. 365mg of Omega-9. 6g of fiber! 4g of protein. 14g of sugar. It is a bit high in sugar but it's not from anything bad, I promise. Each bottle costs around $2.70 but luckily I had a coupon to get $1 off two.
Overall, I love this drink because it's jam packed with some awesome nutrients and it's high in fiber, so what more can you ask for.
