Health and Wellness Product Favorites of the Month (May 2022)
It’s another month, and another fun time to talk about healthy snack options and wellness products. I’ve been testing out and trying quite a few brands that I am excited to share with you. Check them out below and give them a try.
Faver Farms
Here’s a little bit about them…
From our Fields to your Fork! Home of Lentil Crunchers Snacks plus nutritious, gourmet lentil meal mixes made from lentils grown on our family farm + Made in Montana Mercantile goods. And all of our products are packaged in our own certified plant, giving you a truly ‘field to fork experience’!
I tried out the Farver Farms Lentil Crunchers, and they were so good!! I was quite surprised about how much flavor was packed in them. The crunchers are little small lentil balls that are perfect for pouring in to your hand and just snacking on or you can add them in to a salad for a little bit of extra crispiness. It’s totally up to you!!

I’m a big fan of drinking my vitamins, supplements, and things that are good for me, so I was excited to get to try out a multi pack of tonic drinks from Plants by People. The tonics range from having a morning pick me up to staying clam and relaxed through out the day. The tonics are packed with amazing enjoyable flavor and are great to take with you on the go. All you have to do is add water!! Check out more from Plants by People HERE
Lakanto
In remote mountain highlands of Asia, a group of Buddhist monks called the Luohan achieved enlightenment and ascension through meditation and pure living.
In this primeval forest, the monks discovered a rare superfood prized for its sweetness and its ability to raise chi, or life energy. This sacred fruit was named monk fruit and was used for centuries to increase chi and well-being, earning it the nickname “The Immortals’ Fruit.”
We still harvest monk fruit for Lakanto in the same pristine area and according to traditional and environmental methods.
What is Monk Fruit?
Monk fruit is a small round fruit in the gourd family, also known as Luo Han Guo, named after the Luo Han monks who discovered it. The monks were healers of people and stewards of the land. We carry on that tradition today by helping people get off sugar addictions and growing and processing monk fruit in a way that is sustainable, including having a zero-emissions processing plant.

I received a box recently of Lakanto products and had the chance to host an event that had some of their items present there as well. Everything that I have tried so far is delicious!!! If you taste their products you would never know that they are sugar free. They still have plenty of great taste and flavor!! The products range from baking products to snacks and treats that you can take with you on the go. I have recently been eating one of their granolas and almond butter in my plant based yogurt with fruit for breakfast. I also baked some amazing chocolate chip cookies using the chocolate chips, brown sweetener and a few other products which you can see HERE.
If you are someone who is looking to cut out or cut down your sugar intake, I highly suggest to try out Lakanto products and thank me later!!!
Vitruvin Supplements
Here is a little bit about Vitruvin:

Here are some Vitruvin Supplement facts below:

There is no wonder how molecules can reduce pain, increase mood or focus the attention. Biohacking – a philosophy that leverages natural compounds for regulating body processes and all of that is backed up with science.
It is not always what you eat, but also how bioactive compounds are absorbed by your organism. Vitruvin supplements formulations and product combinations ensures highest bioavailability for the best effect.
I know that supplements work differently for everyone, and as I am getting older I know that healthy aging is something to pay attention to. What we all put in to our bodies often effects our mood and the way how we function day to day. I took these supplements from Vitruvin for about a month and I did start to see little changes as far as energy and sleep that were very interesting. When I had super long days of work I noticed I wasn’t as tired. I feel like taking the supplements helped a lot with that!! Try out Vitruvin for your self and see what you think.
