I used my $50 for items I’ve wanted to try for a long time but haven’t wanted to break the bank for: Macadamia Nut Oil, Maca Powder, Almond Flour, Hempseed and Sauerkraut.
My order arrived promptly and came with two samples or vitamins and superfood powder. I was excited to use my items to make dishes I’d been lusting after for awhile; all week, I’ve been cooking, baking, and experimenting.
A few days ago, I used this almond flour to make Elana’s Gluten-Free Rye Bread. The bread was light, fluffy, and moist… and three days later, it still tastes just as fresh as it did when it came out of the oven! I’ve never experienced this with bread before, and I don’t know if it’s because of the almond meal (which you can’t taste at all) or the recipe. Either way, I’m excited to use this again!
NOW Organic Macadamia Nut Oil and Nutiva Organic Shelled Hempseed
I’d been curious about both of these items for a while, but the reason I finally bought them was so I could make a “real” S+M salad once I can afford the Rosemary Quackers again. The oil brought a rich nuttiness to the dressing, and the hemp seeds had great texture (firm but also slightly soft and chewy) and added another nutty layer to the salad. You can bet you’ll see both of these on LVP in the future!
When I was little, I loathed this hot-dog topper. I don’t know if it’s because seeing it near the open-air condiments grossed me out or I just didn’t like the smell, but now I’m kind of obsessed. Sauerkraut great to eat with salads or on its own as a snack.
Based on what I can tell from your comments, we’ve all been curious about just what maca is, exactly. What is it from? How is it used?
Maca root has been used in indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years. This bag contains 100% pure raw maca powder that is certified organic, kosher, vegan and raw. Studies have identified four alkaloids present in maca known to nourish the endocrine system. Maca root has been used as a stress-fighting adaptogen to increase stamina, boost libido and combat fatigue. Maca is a nutrient-dense whole food packed with vitamins, plant sterols as well as many essential minerals, fatty and amino acids.
So far I’ve tried it sprinkled on toast and sweet potatoes, but it can be used in almost anything: smoothies, cereal, yogurt, baked goods… Like many superfoods, it’s quite versatile.
