YAY! I’M SO EXCITED TO SHARE MY NEW BAR WITH YOU!

I PROMISE THAT YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL LOVE COCO BERRY CRISP

Hi Everyone!

Thank you so much for stopping by my site and for all your support these last few years.

Coco Berry Crisp is my newest baby and I am so proud of it.

I consider myself a foodie, and feel that anything I eat should contain high quality ingredients as well as taste phenomenal.

Science has shown that people can utilize food to enhance  health, metabolism and mood!

Coco Berry Crisp is dipped in dark cocoa that is a natural mood enhancer, and contains 40 immune boosting anti-oxidants to help fight free radical damage in the body. Anti-oxidants are also amazing for achieving healthy, radiant skin.

Coco Berry Crisp also contains plant protein from Hemp and Soy to help build and maintain muscle and suppress appetite.  Another great appetite suppressant is Fiber! This bar contains 5 grams to keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal.

For the last month, I have been sampling Coco Berry Crisp to most of my family members, friends and current customers and the response has been amazing! I have had comments like “this bar is addicting!” “It’ tastes like a candy bar!” “I feel full for a few hours” and “my husband hates protein bars but he LOVES this!”.

Testimonials and reviews are great, but taste buds differ from one person to the next and the only way to really understand how good this bar is, is to taste it yourself! And I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions!

“Crazy Ghada is doing what? She’s exhibiting at the Philadelphia Food & Wine Show? I’m not sure if that’s a good decision”.

Criticism and judgement seems to come naturally from people who like to play it safe in life. I can’t tell you how many times I had to hear critiques and negativity from people regarding my ventures. I’ve heard it all from I’m nuts, to I’m just wasting my time”.

Well, my reply back to those individuals…when it comes to most things in my life whether it has to do with business or pleasure, I prefer to just jump and go for it! Over thinking certain things just leads to doubt, fear and even backing out completely. Like the Nike slogan…. Just do it! Life is too short and I never want to look back and say… “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve”.

A little over a month ago, I heard that the Food Network’s Food & Wine Show was coming to the Philly area, so I jumped at the opportunity to become an exhibitor. After making a few calls, I was in! Right after, I called my favorite friend and trainer Lisa, and asked her if she would join me and she did! Yay!

The Philadelphia Food & Wine Show was held on Halloween weekend at the Valley Forge Convention Center. The event showcased over 100 vendors who offered the best of wines, desserts and gourmet foods. Another exciting part of this event was that celebrity Food Network stars took the main stage to educate and demonstrate their cooking skills.

First, I’ll tell you a little about my experience and the products I offered, then I’ll fill you in on the some of the best tasting food items that I stumbled on!

Decorated with multi-colored Autumn leaves and serving bowls, the Smallworld Beauty table offered sugar free carb-conscious protein bars, no-sugar added cranberry pumpkin muffins and no sugar added Date-o’s. The Smallworld Beauty table stood out as the “healthy” table

Every item on the table was figure friendly, low fat and low in sugar.  Other fun items that were showcased were my Detox Greens and all natural liplove lip balms.

Every attendee had a chance to sample bite-sized bits of both the Coconut Coco Cream and Vanilla Apple Fudge Bars.

These were perfect for individuals who were watching their weight, carbs and even gluten.

This next product was a big hit! A few weeks before the show, I collaborated with a famous Philly chef to create a no sugar added, low fat, Cranberry Pumpkin Harvest Muffin… Mmmmmm. The main ingredients were whole wheat, cranberries, pumpkin puree and egg whites. Everyone was so impressed at how “moist” these low fat desserts tasted.

Another crowd pleaser, was my Mommy’s Date-O’s! Made with 100% Whole Wheat, flaxseed meal, light olive  oil, and pureed dates, this “O” shaped pastry just crumbled in your mouth. This dessert is a popular Middle-Eastern pastry that is typically baked with white flour and served with afternoon coffee and tea. Date-O’s are low in fat, low in sugar and sodium and high in fiber. Oh my Date-O’s… I can eat them everyday! These are only made by special request, so email me if you’re interested in buying some

I had such a great time! I met so many people and learned so much about what the people had to say about my products. Any feedback… is good feedback

Just because I was working, it didn’t mean that I wasn’t going to run around and check out what the other vendors had to offer. There was so much to taste and sample, and some were just so good that I had to purchase some for my own!

Fiore’s Garlic Sauce: Behind this one booth stood the cutest little Old man who was showcasing his “most famous garlic sauce”.  There was a bowl with the garlic sauce along side cut-up hearty Italian bread. Using a tooth pick, I poked one of the breads and dipped deep in that sauce. Wow… that’s garlicy but soo good!

Hempzel’s Sourdough Pumpernickel & Onion Hard Pretzel: I love hemp! When it comes to nutrition, hemp is superior to flax. It’s full of protein, fiber and Omega 3-6-9 similar to fish oil. These delicious pretzels were perfectly hard meaning that they won’t break your teeth. Hempzels also had other hearty and tasty flavors to choose from.

Crazy About Hummus’ Pumpkin Hummus:

What!!!!! Pumpkin Hummus? OMG… that is delicious!!!! I would have never thought to combine those two ingredients! This is a perfect protein packed item that is excellent for skin health! Give me two!

Bookbinder’s Gluten Free Soups:

What’s more comforting and satisfying than a hot cup of hearty soup! These gluten free soups were so good that I had to taste each and everyone that was showcased. My favorites were definitely the butternut squash with mushrooms, and the zesty tomato. I wish I had more right now as I write this

Famous Kirby’s Pretzels: Holy Moly this stuff is HOT!!!! If you love super duper spicy or want to play a mean prank on someone, try some of these Red Hot Chili pretzels. Wow… Manufactured by a husband and wife team, Famous Kirby’s introduces a line of HOT pretzels, potato chips, pop corn and even chocolate! I love spicy food but I definitely need some milk close by when eating these.

Don’t worry, Famous Kirby’s also comes in Mild for those who can’t handle the heat.

There were so many other great vendors at the show but I couldn’t afford to buy everything so I stopped at those.

If you attended this show, then what was your favorite taste?

Don’t make losing weight torturous for yourself. There are endless options of delicious, low calorie snacks that you can bite into and still reach your goal.

The caloric amount of a “snack” can vary from person to person depending on how their meals are planned. Individuals who eat 5-6 mini meals might consider a snack to have 2-300 calories, and a person who eats 3 main meals and two snacks throughout the day might eat snacks that are only 100 calories.

Below, I have showcased some of my favorite snacks that I like to incorporate into my summer slim down months.

Let’s start snacking!

Rice Cakes!

Whole grain rice cakes are crunchy and hearty. Depending on the brand, each rice may only have 35 calories.

My favorite way of eating this complex carb is to top it with some peanut butter and sugar free raspberry jelly.

Sugar Free Jello

When I’m craving something sweet without adding more sugar into my day, I love me some jello.

Check out this Sugar free, 10 calorie cup of jell-o! After a long day, I deserve a sweet guilt-free treat!

EDAMAME!!!

What did you say about my momma!

ha ha.. ok that was a stupid attempt of a joke… anyway, I love these Asian treasures. A handful of these soybean pods are only a 100 calories,  packed with protein and so much fun to eat. Instead of grabbing a bag of chips, sprinkle a little salt on these and munch away.

Pickles

Snooky from the Jersey Shore loves these!

Dill pickles are low in calories and contain fiber and anti-oxidants. Don’t forget, that these guys used to be cucumbers.

For a snack, I like to have a few slices of deli turkey cuts with few crisp dill pickles.

Eggs

I like to boil a few of these little guys and have 1 or two as my snack with a few slices of cucumbers or even with a toasted whole grain bread. Eggs are excellent sources of protein and studies have shown that eating two eggs for breakfast everyday can help you eat less throughout the day and lose up to  20 pounds in a year! Plus…. they’re just yummy! If you’re looking to cut more calories, you can try one egg or just egg whites. For best savings, buy a chicken (they’ll hook you up with 2-3 eggs a day).

LOW CARB PROTEIN SHAKES/ BARS

Protein shakes and bars can boost weight loss efforts, suppress your appetite and sugar cravings and help stabilize your glucose levels. When choosing a protein supplement, I like to make sure that it’s low in sugar, moderate in protein and excellent in taste!

One of my top favorite shakes is EAS AdvantEDGE “carb control” vanilla that has 17g of protein and only 2 g of Net Impact carbs. For a delicious sugar free, low carb protein bar, try Coconut Coco Cream that has 18g of Protein and 2 g of Net Impact carbs. A few bites will leave you satisfied for hours!

COOL WHIP

If a piece of fruit bores you, then get some of this sugar free Cool Whip and spunk it up!

1 tablespoon of these creamy fluff is only 10 calories! Try it with some wild berries, juicy peach chunks or even some ripe mango slices.

BEANS!

My mom makes a mean three-bean salad that’s packed with fiber, protein and anti-oxidants. I could eat this refreshing, tangy cup of bean salad everyday!

If you’re a bean lover, try a few tablespoons of hummus with your veggie cuts or a bowl of black bean soup.

Speaking of Soup…. LOW CALORIE SOUP!

This whole can is only 200 calories and full of yumminess!

Select Harvest offers so many varieties of “light” soups that incorporate lean protein, healthy veggies and whole grains.

I like to make my own homemade chicken soup, but if you’re pressed on time, this is the perfect can to pick up. The easy peel off top makes life so much easier too!

Other snack ideas are:

• sliced cucumbers
• non fat yogurt
• 1 serving of fruit
• 1 serving of plain oatmeal w/ sweetener
• Low fat string cheese
• Low fat cottage cheese
• Low calorie Pop corn
• Celery & peanut butter
• whole grain crackers

What’s your favorite snack?

coconut coco cream is 2 ounces of delicious high protein that fits perfectly into your day!

You’re late to work and need a quick bite to hold you over until lunch time. You’re not in the mood for a greasy egg sandwich, so you stop by a gas station to check out their protein bars.

With all the varieties in front of you, you’re still confused! This one has a million grams of protein, this one is “natural” with fruits and nuts, this one looks too body building-like and this one just sounds gross… Another thing you notice is that most of these are sugar loaded!   Ugghhh…

Trust me, I feel your frustration. In the last few years, I have resorted to making my own protein concoctions at home to avoid the excess sugars and carbs that most of these store brands contain. Low carb protein bars like Atkins contain zero sugar, but provide very little amounts of protein.

Since I love incorporating protein in my day to help rebuild my muscles and suppress my appetite, I thought.. “why keep spending money on all these ingredients when I can just make my own?” As crazy as that sounded to everyone around me, I began doing the research to make this happen.

I began contacting companies and formulators to better understand the process and cost. One thing led to another and I found myself in the midst of planning, creating cute little wrappers and formulating a winning delicious recipe!

After a year of this fun-filled madness of trying to come up with the perfect, guilt free protein bar, I now bring you smallworld beauty’s first official high protein bar. YAY!

smallworld beauty’s coconut coco cream is 2 ounces of delicious high protein that fits perfectly into your day!

Finally a bar that provides 18 g of superior protein

Contains ZERO sugar, ZERO artificial sweeteners, ZERO hydrogenated oils, and ZERO preservatives.

Did we mention that these bars are gluten free too!

Oh wait! They’re even perfect for “carb conscience” dieters with only 2 g of Net Carbs.

smallworld beauty’s coconut coco cream is the perfect snack to help boost your weight loss efforts. Not only will you help build sexy muscles, but you’ll also keep cravings at bay.

These bars taste so good and decadent that you’ll forget that you’re watching your calories!

I’m so confident that you’ll love them or your money back. Pinky swear!

You deserve to love your life more, so why not start now!
