Elli Quark is a healthy, sweet treat
By Carla Snuggs
Summer is approaching and bikini season is upon us. I’ve been looking for healthy snacks that will help me stay bikini-ready and was so excited when my friends at Elli Quark asked me to try their delicious products. So, you may be wondering what is Elli Quark? EQ is a yummy fresh cheese, similar to Greek yogurt, but without the sour bite!
Here’s why I love Elli Quark
- It's also much healthier then yogurt because is high in protein, no added sugar, and no artificial sweeteners or ingredients.
- There are 12 different flavors, each one more delicious than the next. I love the Bananas Foster, Strawberry and Lemon the best!
- Each 6 oz. cup has 80-90 cal, 0% fat, and 14-17g of protein!
- Elli Quark is currently the only brand to offer flavored dairy products that have a clean label!
To boot, Elli Quark is a beauty snack because of its stellar nutritional profile. As I'm sure you know, high amounts of sugar are not only detrimental for your body, but for your skin as well. Since Elli Quark has no added sugars, it works great as a snack that has no ill effects on beauty.
My favorite way to eat Elli Quark is topped with a bit of fruit and granola, but it tastes fabulous on its own. It’s so rich, creamy and flavorful.
Check out Elli Quark on Instagram for some really great ideas for enjoying this addictive beauty snack!
Shop here: Elliquark.com You can have Elli Quark delivered directly to your door in 100% recyclable materials/packaging.

By Carla Snuggs
Anyone who truly knows me knows that I am a coffee addict and a coffee snob as well. However, I have been adding more tea to my diet, so when Kiss Me Organics sent me their Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon to try, I was thrilled! I usually drink green tea or chai tea, but had never tried dandelion root tea. It is absolutely lovely! Before, I get into the review, here’s the tea on the tea:

It’s the perfect tea for curling up with a good book when you’re unwinding at the end of the day. I have been drinking two cups per day of this dandelion root tea and, therefore, less unhealthy beverages like diet soda.
