Bulumu Granola Review

2 Mar IMG_7990

Gosh I love doing demos, I always get to meet some of the most interesting, coolest people. Cool person of late – Brandon from Bulumu

Bulumu (it stands for “Buckle up, Love You, Miss You”) was developed by athletes and they sponsor a bunch of athletes too, so you know its good pre and post workout.

What I love about it is that it is made without any oil, only natural sweeteners.

Compared to other high-fat, high-sugar granola’s Bulumu has great stats:

A 1/4 c serving has 110 calories, three grams of fat, 6 grams of sugar, 3g protein, 2g fiber

Yowza.

If that wasn’t enough its is vegan, soy free, wheat free, and dairy free.

I got to sample the Orange Ginger Cranberry Granola. That flavor was right up my alley.  I think the phrase “out of the box” is the overused jargon of choice today.

My taste buds were immediately hit with some spicy ginger. Ohh-la-la

The nice crunch from the walnuts was a great addition too :)

As a major ginger fan (seriously, I’m the one to swallow up all the pickled ginger at a Japanese restaurant) my tastebuds were pleased.

Perfect fuel for the 5k I’m running on Sunday!

Bulumu also comes in a red white and blueberry flavor but I have yet to try that one.

Check em all out to see if a store near you carried them Or you can order them online (nice touch with that one!)

Have a great weekend!

Real Life Fruit Ninja

2 Mar IMG_4449

Chopping Veggies can be really enjoyable…

If you have the right knife.

I won this knife in a cooking competition (A la Masterchef) in Australia.

I have many nicknames for this knife. The cleaver. The machete…

You get the idea. Its big!

This baby cuts through ANYTHING, and easily too.

True story: My friend Dan wanted to see if I could throw an apple and have the knife slice through it.

Bam. Right down the middle. It was kind of awesome.

It was like real life Fruit Ninja!

Carrots and Celery…Prepare to meet your maker.

The chopped celery was for other fun things but the carrots were for this Cranberry, Apple, & Almond Quinoa.

I made it exactly as Angela did, except I added WAY more cinnamon

Because, as my Australian friends so lovingly pointed out: “My perception of Americans is that they love peanut butter and cinnamon on everything…”

My response: “Yup, pretty much sums it up”

Perfect when you are craving dessert at the end of the night but want something substantial to keep you from nibbling once your finished.

As I type this post I have gotten the “spinning wheel of death” over a dozen times. (Macbook users you know what I’m talkin’ about)

My computer is sick. The battery is nearing its end, the fan is on like it’s 100 degrees outside, and applications close out on me and freeze on a regular basis.

Oh, and exams are next week. Fantastic.

Not to worry though! I’m taking it to the doctor (aka Genius Bar) over the weekend.

 

Also consumed today: Random Veggie Stirfry

In the mix: chopped Eggplant, Onion, Spinach, Tomato and a ton of Old Bay

‘Cause everything’s better when topped with Old Bay

Twas scrumptious. Just what the doctor ordered

Sous Chef Duties: Love it or Loathe it?
