[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]There is never a time of year when it does not pay to be eating with healthy habits in mind. But, contrary to popular belief, healthy foods can also have a great taste to them. In turn, there is no shortage of interesting new food options that manage to be nutritious and delicious \u2014 and often fun, too.<\/p>\n
I had the pleasure of attending the “Editor Showcase: Health & Nutrition” at New York City’s Marriott Marquis earlier this month. In turn, I had the opportunity to get an exclusive look at some of the newest launches from leading brands in the health and wellness industries.<\/p>\n
Below are some of my recommendations from that event, in addition to other brands you ought to pay attention to when visiting Life Spring Health Foods & Juice Bar<\/a>, Bonne Sante Health Foods<\/a>, Southtown Health Foods<\/a>, Whole Foods,<\/a> or whatever your Chicago health-oriented food market of choice is.<\/p>\n The story behind Orgain is nothing short of miraculous or inspirational. Orgain’s first healthy food brand was modeled after the organic nutrition shakes Andrew \u2014 now Dr. Andrew Abraham \u2014 and his mom blended years ago during his cancer treatments. Expect “clean nutrition” yet with vanilla and chocolate flavorings in shake, bar and powder form. Orgain’s products are kosher, non-GMO, organic, and\/or gluten-free.<\/p>\n W\u00fcnder Creamery launched in April 2018, properly introducing quark \u2014 a cultured dairy staple that has been enjoyed throughout Europe and Central Asia for centuries \u2014 to the States. The company’s quark is made using whole milk from grass-fed cows on small family farms, steering clear of artificial additives, sweeteners and gums. For reference to those not yet familiar with quark, think “non-tart yogurt meets rich cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche.” W\u00fcnder’s quark is full of flavor, packed with protein, low in sugar and powered by probiotics.<\/p>\n True Citrus is the maker of True Lemon and True Lime food brands, crystallized citrus products made with only simple ingredients to provide refreshing, tasty options to enhance the flavor of plain water. Conveniently available in packet form, the products \u2014 which are non-GMO \u2014 contain no artificial sweeteners, flavors, preservatives, gluten or sodium, helping people who lead active lifestyles stay hydrated in delicious fashion.<\/p>\nOrgain<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
