Munchy crunchy is putting a twist on the bugs on a log snack, and I’m not fighting it. Cold crisp celery , with your favorite spread ( cream cheese is a personal favorite) and top it off with the Chillin’ Chipotle beans on top!
This plant-based snack is protein packed and doesn’t sacrifice flavor or the irresistible crunch everyone loves. Munchy crunchy Chillin’ Chipotle is full of flavor. Its earthy flavor has a touch of smoke and mild spiciness, with garlic, onion, paprika, and tomato to round out the rich chipotle taste. These are so satisfying and full of 16 whole grams of plant protein. If bugs on a log aren’t for your style, you can always eat them plain or use them as a topping for your favorite salad, soup or even on top of a plate of nachos.

5 Reasons Why We hand-picked Caffè di Artisan Coffee for You
You value Your Health. The Environment. Quality. New Approaches. We have for you a coffee that’s in sync with these values – because industrial, machine-made coffee just doesn’t cut it.
Caffè di Artisan is a Globally Awarded Food tech company revolutionizing the coffee industry through its path-breaking “machine-free” premium coffee concept, and this is why we hand-picked it for you.
Pure, Real Coffee
Caffè di Artisan coffee is the way coffee was meant to be. The world’s finest beans. Gradient Roasted. Fresh Ground.
Then, slow, artisanal extraction in an artisanal micro-filtery over days (No. It isn’t cold brew). Packaged into biodegradable single-serve pods.
This process teases out all the natural sugars, oils and goodness from the beans, delivering a gorgeous zesty well-rounded coffee with a lingering finish – something a quick extraction in a machine never can.
Coffee Machines are full of harmful bacteria and, worse
University studies have shown that coffee machines are the ‘germiest places in the kitchen’ and also attract roaches & pests.
Plus, hot water passing through hard plastic or aluminum pods for the machine also means that some of this leaches into your coffee.
Caffè di Artisan’s “machine-free” tech delivers a luxury coffee experience without machines and without these unwanted elements.
The Healthiest Coffee on Planet Earth
Caffè di Artisan’s liquid coffee is made from Alkaline water, which will never give you acidity.
Coffee machines play havoc with your stomach. Coffee has oils that coat the inner pipes of coffee machines over time. These oils turn rancid, and the rancid oils dissolve into your coffee each time hot water passes through the pipes again. THAT is the reason for the acidity! Not the Coffee.
Caffè di Artisan coffee is chock-a-block with the goodness of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals because it has only two ingredients: Pure Alkaline water and premium Coffee beans. No preservatives. None whatsoever.
It is certified Kosher, non-GMO and is Keto and Paleo-friendly.
No more Environmental or Plastic Guilt
Caffè di Artisan coffee comes in bio-degradable pods.
As per studies using the ASTM5511 Tests, the pods Biodegrade around 90% in just over 2 years.
And results so far show that they degrade in seawater too.
A single home coffee machine uses half a million watts of power every year, so you cut your carbon footprint substantially, too, by going machine-free with Caffè di Artisan!
Your favourite Gourmet cafe-style drinks Anywhere Anytime
How cool is that!
With Caffè di Artisan, enjoy your favourite gourmet Americano, Cappuccino, Espresso, Latte, Frappè or whatever at home, on a drive, at a hotel, in the wild…actually anywhere at all.
You are no longer tied to cafes or coffee machines.
An introduction to Intuitive Eating by our friends Brooke Miller & Alyssa Miller, both Registered Dietitians. They can be found on Instagram @nutrition.for.mamas & @the.mama.well.
Intuitive Eating is the establishment of a relationship with eating and food that honors both physical and mental health.
Intuitive Eating consists of 10 principles of self-care eating framework, which integrates instinct, emotion, and rational thought and was created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
To Get You Started, Here are 3 Tips on Becoming an Intuitive Eater:
1. Eat regularly throughout the day and don’t skip meals. If you skip meals and show up to a meal overly hungry, you will likely eat past fullness.
2. Add in some type of movement daily that you enjoy to boost your energy and mood; walking counts!
3. Ditch the scale & tune in to other body cues instead like: hunger, fullness, & how food makes you feel. The book “Intuitive Eating” is a great resource to start!

Fit Snack Nutritionist Created and Approved Recipes
4 mushrooms, chopped and lightly sautéed in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 small garlic clove
4 spears or asparagus, lightly sautéed in 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped
To Make Glazed Tofu:
1 (11oz) block of firm tofu, prepared according to pack instructions and sliced into small cubes
2 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 tbsp soy – or tamari for a gluten-free option
2 tbsp maple syrup
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sriracha or 1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
Toss the tofu cubes in a bowl with the cornflour.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet on a medium-high heat and cook the tofu until golden brown – about 5-7 minutes. Transfer onto a plate and leave to the side while you prepare the sauce.
Return the skillet to the heat and add 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, then add the rest of the sauce ingredients.
Cook for another minute until it thickens slightly, then add the tofu cubes.
Cook for another couple of minutes until the tofu pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
