I was given samples by Barlean’s as part of #Choctoberfest 2017. I received no further compensation. Al opinions are my own.

Let me tell you a secret. That’s not butter! It’s Barleans Butter Flavored Coconut Oil.
Barlean’s Butter Flavored Coconut Oil is dairy-free, vegan and naturally flavored with plant-based ingredients. This product is Certified Organic and cholestrol free with no gluten or soy.
Use it 1:1 as you would butter or oil for pan frying and cooking under 375 degrees. Spread it on muffins, popcorn, pancakes, anywhere you use butter without coconut flavor or odor.

Now let me tell you about these delicious glazed Brussels Sprouts!
I’m the only fan of Brussels Sprouts in our house. So that means I keep trying to come up with recipes for my guy to try.
I’ve made Roasted Brussels Sprouts Soup, Easy Sweet Asian Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts Salad and even a crostini with hummus, Brussels Sprouts and egg.
If you are into those little heads of yumminess from the cabbage family then you are in for a treat!

Powdered greens are full of vital antioxidants from fruits and veggies. The delicious chocolate flavor comes from Fair-Trade, antioxidant-rich cocoa. It’s delicious hot or cold with no added sugars. You’ve got to try it to believe it.
Essential Women Omega-Swirl Chocolate Mint
Do you take your Omega-3s? They are essential fatty acids needed by everyone, everyday for the rest of our lives. Most people get their Omega-3s from fish capsules or flax oil, but Barlean’s up with a tastier option. They emulsified the flax oil to give it a smoothie like texture and used all natural ingredients to give it a chocolate mint flavor. It’s perfect for #choctoberfest. You can use it in smoothies, in yogurt, oatmeal or even on top of ice cream. It’s up to you.
