2 moms review & GIVEAWAY

November 8, 2010

Whenever I hear the word “raw” for some reason Lady GaGa gets stuck in my head. I’m a vegetarian, GaGa, but somehow whenever I hear your name, I automatically think of a meat costume. This is not something I enjoyed while sampling some really great products over the last few days.

A few weeks back I had been graciously sent three products to review from Two Moms in the Raw. This company was started in 2004 when the owner was diagnosed with MS. She found that living a raw/unprocessed diet kept her symptoms at bay, while providing her with the nutrients she needed to stay healthy. I was sent the blueberry granola, gojiberry granola, and tomato basil sea crackers to try out.

I am a HUGE fan of raw snacks — and I think you all know about my bar addiction.

One thing I love about this granola is it comes in bar form. However, it is easy to break into chunked pieces, which leaves the option of enjoying it as a bar or as cereal!

Â

I’m a really big fan of the blueberry granola. It doesn’t have an overwhelming blueberry taste, but it is definitely present. It has a chewy and crunchy texture (how did they even achieve that?!?!) which I absolutely adore. I love having different textures in my bars/granola and this definitely does.

Â

I have never had gojiberries, and I’m not sure if I would like them by themselves. While I enjoyed the gojiberry granola, it was not my favorite. It had the same chewy/crunchy texture, but the gojiberries did not appeal to me.

Â

Do you see the baked in cinnamon? This — THIS — I could live with.

Â

Last but not least, the tomato basil sea crackers — or as I like to call them “the crackers I hope will be served in Heaven”. Yes, they are that great. They have amazing flavors, are flax seed based, and I want to have an unending supply for a Christmas present.

These crackers break apart easily, but not in a “crumbly” kind of way. They are just so thin that they crack into pieces if you’re not careful.

I don’t care though because I would lick my floor if any pieces fell.

Thank you so much Two Moms in the Raw for sending me these amazing products! I am so grateful to have tried them.

Are you ready for some epic news? Two Moms in the Raw has graciously offered one of my readers the opportunity to win the exact same package I was sent! You will receive a package of blueberry granola, gojiberry granola, and tomato basil sea crackers. To enter the giveaway, it’s a piece of cake:

  • Leave me a comment with a sentence that has the word RAW in it
  • Link back to this giveaway
  • Tweet about this giveaway (@cleaneatingchel)
  • Subscribe to Clean Eating Chelsey via my RSS feed or Google Reader

Each entry can be separate, so you each have a total of FOUR ways to enter this giveaway. The Two Moms in the Raw giveaway will be open until Thursday, November 11, 2010 @ midnight. Happy Entering!

edit: today someone google searched me as “clean eating chelsey ugly food” - i guess that ugly recipe day was a day i pulled a reader in. HILARIOUS.. and if that’s you, i want to be friends.

GaGa’s costume was completely crazy and pretty gross!

Two Moms in the Raw sounds RAW [the second raw being the slang word for awesome/cool; lame I know lol :) ]

Hahaha and I’m dying that someone googled you as that, priceless!

Do you follow a strict RAW diet, or just prefer to eat RAW when possible!!

I try to eat RAW whenever possible, but my loving husband prefers things twice baked, fried and covered in meat. He’s a work in progress!!

I LOVE RAW FOOD!!! If I didnt travel so often I would most likely keep a raw diet…but its too difficult to bring along a dehydrator and vita-mix(which Im putting on my christmas list anyways) in my luggage to prep my food
oh well…maybe when I settle down, but in the mean time those snacks could hold me over ;)

Lady Gag’s (I was going to originally fix that typo, but I’ll just leave it as is!!… LOL) meat costume was horrible. What a joke. I eat meat occasionally and I still found it to be a disgrace!

When you think life’s a little too RAW,
Take a moment to appreciate all that you saw.
Laughing with a friend and enjoying a soul-full meal,
Is inevitably enough to renew your spark, your zeal.
