When we say, ‘cold treat in New Orleans,’ we bet you think of a snoball. And you’re spot on for what New Orleans is known for during the summer. But New Orleans has been hiding a cold treat from y’all, specifically the Westbank of New Orleans.
To have an overall healthy, happy life, there are a lot of factors that we must pay attention to. These factors may include maintaining a regular exercise regimen, watching your diet, and even paying attention to your mental health. When it comes to general health, chiropractic care may also help to boost your wellbeing, especially since the spine plays a crucial role in supporting body movement.
On a recent trip to the grocery, Fit noticed this product on the shelf and told me that she’d love to see me “tear it apart” on our YouTube channel. I don’t know why she was so skeptical of the product. Sure, we’d never heard of it or seen it before, but why not give it a fair chance? Unfortunately, due to my ravenous appetite, one day, I just ate them on the spot. By them, I mean one Beef Flavor Ramen Soup and one Chicken Flavor Ramen Soup. I was too lazy to setup my camera and I’m glad I didn’t because it became a bit more complex than anticipated. Mike’s Mighty Good Craft Ramen. Was it worth it? Yes and no.
This is chicken, thumbnail is beef
Oh no, here it is. Another protein bar review. Do they ever end? Truth be told, it seems like there is a never-ending supply of ready-to-eat protein snacks out there. It is hard staying on top of them all, but for us, it is important to know what exists because we’re asked for recommendations ALL THE TIME! We rarely find a product that is worthy of being coined innovative in any stretch of the imagination. When we do find innovative products, they’re not necessarily win-wins. For example, our review of Built Bar gave them credit for making a product that had a very strange texture. While we weren’t fans of it, we figured someone out there might be. Innovative? In a way. Enjoyable? Not for us. Enough of that old news though; what about Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah bar?
Attractive packaging
2020 has been a whirlwind of a year for all of us. Some were, unfortunately, hit much harder than others and we’ve all had to adapt to uncertainty. It has given many us a chance to spend less time with some, and more time with others. It has given all of us the chance to spend more time with ourselves. While that has been a curse for some, it has been a blessing for others. 2020 has provided some of us the chance to hit the reset button and finish old goals, start new projects, and lighten our load.
We started this blog in August of 2012. It has been a real roller coaster ride ever since the beginning. I can’t remember the last time we went over a month without publishing an article. Sometimes, we don’t find the time to create our own work, but we maintain a steady stream of posts through partners and guests. That wasn’t the case this past month, but we’re glad to be back. Where did we go?
The pandemic has ushered in a lot of changes in a very short time. For many of us, social distancing, wearing face masks, and limiting exposure to groups of other people remain the norm. Many businesses are still mandating that employees work from home, and numerous schools are still using a distance-learning model.
Another change that’s happened, this one more positive than most, is that meal kits are flourishing once more. You heard about them first here on Hungry and Fit, and they’ve surged in popularity. That makes sense given the risks involved with simply going to the grocery store these days.
Where does the meal kit industry stand currently and what should you know? We’ll discuss all that below.
If you’re subscribed to our YouTube channel, you might have watched today’s video. What was the topic? Uber acquired Postmates for a lot of money. I go on to talk about how we’re not really fans of meal delivery apps because they’re almost all problematic. Then, while I’m combing through old drafts on our blog, I found this gem. I didn’t change the title. I’m not going to mess with the photos that I uploaded over a year ago. This was first drafted on May 8th 2019. We haven’t used Postmates since.
It isn’t fully formatted or as beautiful as we intend to make it, but the beta of our eating guide to the Westbank is out HERE.
Tomorrow, we’re going to unveil a new page on the blog… our guide to Eating NOLA. Since we first moved to New Orleans, about a year ago, we’ve eaten at nearly 150 different places. (Multiple locations of the same chains don’t count.) We’ve dined at some of the most popular spots, while we’ve also found some dives that have very little press. We’ve gone big, with four or five trips to Commander’s Palace. Also, we’ve gone small, with a birthday dinner at a tiny Chinese restaurant in Gretna. What will the guide look like?
