The Latest Health Food Products You Should Try Today
Check out the latest health food products that can up your nutrition game while providing the ultimate in flavor. Read below to learn more about my experience with these products and how you can try them for yourself.
Naked Nutrition Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Protein Powder
No more plain chocolate or vanilla full of fillers for your post-workout shake! Naked Nutrition's Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder provides a clean whey protein powder option with potent peanut butter and chocolate flavor. Mix with milk or water per the instructions for a creamy and thick protein shake that tastes like dessert. At 25 grams of protein per two scoop serving, this Naked Nutrition protein powder helps support post-workout recovery or can act as a delicious meal replacement shake any time of day. Enjoy alone or blended with your favorite fruit or veggies for a nutrient-dense protein shake solution.
Naked Nutrition also comes in other flavors like pea protein (plain and vanilla), plain, strawberry banana, peanut butter, vanilla, and organic brown rice powder, to name a few. You can mix Naked Nutrition protein powder with water, but I prefer milk or plant-based milk for natural sweetness and an extra boost of nutrients.
The Taste Test
As someone who is lactose intolerant, I mixed eight ounces of 2% low-fat lactose-free milk with two scoops of the Naked Nutrition Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder, which helped boost the protein content further and made the whey protein easier for my sensitive gut to digest. Not ot mention that the creaminess of the milk helped enhance the chocolate flavor and made my shake taste like dessert!
The Hermit Calamari Jerky
This is not your average jerky. Enjoy the salty sweet taste of seafood in a convenient dried form with every package of The Hermit Calamari Jerky. This jerky is not only free of artificial preservatives and MSG, but is 100% wild caught, MSC-certified squid. The Hermit Calamari Jerky comes in unique flavors like Thai Chili Lime, Ginger Scallion, and Italian Herb that can please just about any palate.
The Taste Test
I tried the Ginger Scallion and Thai Chili Lime flavors recently. The Ginger Scallion is my favorite since I enjoy mild, rich flavors. You could really taste the peppery ginger and the mild, refreshing scallion notes that combine well with the subtly sweet and umami palate of the dried calamari. On the other hand, the Thai Chili Lime had a spicier flavor profile that balanced out well with the calamari's milder notes, but I recommend this flavor for those that can tolerate and/or enjoy spicier foods.
CurryCups Simmer Sauces
If you're craving curry, but don't have much time to cook, simply reach for a CurryCups sauce. This vegetarian-friendly, all-natural product provides a homemade curry sauce flavor in a mild form that can most everyone can enjoy. Use this sauce to simmer with your favorite protein and veggies, drizzle on pasta dishes to add a bit of spice, spread on baguette for a unique twist on bruschetta, or use as a base for a veggie or chip dip that explodes with flavor. The possibilities are endless.
The Taste Test
I used CurryCups to simmer with boneless, skinless chicken thighs to create a simple chicken curry dish paired with steamed jasmine rice and spinach. This is just one application of CurryCups that makes dinner preparation easy while providing a delicious and nutritious flavor profile.
MiraBurst Mini Squares
If you enjoy fruit, but are sensitive to sour flavors, then MiraBurst is for you. This unique product is a tablet that dissolves on your tongue and then provides one solid hour of flavor enhancement. Each low-carbohydrate, allergen-free, gluten-free, and vegan miracle berry tablet works by activating the taste buds on your tongue to magically turn all sour or tart fruits, foods, or drinks sweet without adding any sugar or sweetener.
This product is not only helpful for those trying to eat more fruit and vegetables in their daily diet, but can also act as a therapeutic product to help cancer patients mask and manage taste disturbances they may experience after treatment. Not to mention that each tablet is rich in polyphenol antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
The Taste Test
I tested out MiraBurst for myself with strawberries, which I normally find tart and sour. Just one tablet dissolved on my tongue after about three minutes. Then the moment of truth...each bite of strawberry felt like an explosion of natural sweetness in my mouth. I usually sprinkle a bit of cane sugar or sucralose on strawberries to make them more palatable, but I didn't need anything at all after taking MiraBurst.
Then, for the ultimate test, I tried a lemon slice. To my surprise, I took a huge bite into a lemon slice and it tasted like sweetened lemonade. You could still taste a bit of tartness from the lemon, but it was more than manageable. These tablets, made from Miracle Berry, are surely a miracle. I can definitely see how this supplement would make it much easier for those with a sweet tooth or taste issues to consume a healthier diet.

Are new health foods worth the price?
New health foods can be worth the price if they provide an extra benefit nutritionally that you can't get from less expensive food and drink options. This will differ from person to person. For example, MiraBurst Mini Squares may seem costly at $1.88/square, but if they can help someone to eat better who is suffering from medication-related taste changes, then it will be well worth and could literally save their life.
What should I look for on the label when trying something new?
When trying something new, always look on the label to ensure that the food or drink product does not contain any ingredients that you may be allergic, intolerant, or sensitive to. Also, look at the nutritional label to check to make sure the food product fits within your particular dietary needs. For example, if you're following a heart-healthy diet, look for products lower in sodium, added sugar, and saturated fat content. Lower sodium foods will contain less than 140 mg sodium per serving, low added sugar would be less than 10 grams per serving, and low saturated fat would be around 1.5 grams or less per 100 gram (3.5 ounce) serving.
Do I need to completely replace my old favorites?
You do not need to completely replace your old favorites with healthier alternatives. Research shows that simply adding in new healthy habits is a more effective approach to enhancing your health than cutting out habits completely.
