bookmark_borderRootless Review: The Ultimate Seaweed Nutrition Bite!

Posted on

Hey earth muffins! Being on a plant-based diet can result in low levels of important vitamins and nutrients if you aren’t careful. An easy way to ensure you are getting the nutrition you need is to take some sort of multivitamin. Enter Rootless – this seaweed bite is perfect for anyone looking to balance their nutrients! I was gifted a 30 day supply of these bites, so I wanted to share my Rootless review with you all today.

What I Love About Rootless

Firstly, these bites are made out of seaweed (which is super sustainable!). Seaweed only requires sun and seawater to grow… And it doesn’t require any added water, pesticides, fertilizer, etc. that land plants need. On top of this, seaweed also draws carbon out of the surrounding ocean/air. This is always a good thing in terms of sustainability!

Posted on

Hey earth muffins! If you have been following this blog for a while now, you will know that I have quite the mason jar collection. It is super easy to opt for glass containers in the kitchen to avoid pesky plastics. When I tell people that I store food in the freezer in mason jars, they are often surprised that you can do that. And you definitely can! In today’s post I will be sharing all the secrets on how to successfully freeze food in glass!

Can You Actually Freeze in Glass Jars??

Yes! As I mentioned above, I have very few non-glass containers in my kitchen. Mason jars are a great tool to prevent food waste in the kitchen by popping leftovers into the freezer. Unlike plastic, glass can crack (and even shatter) if it goes from hot to cold or cold to hot too quickly. While you can obviously freeze glass jars, it is important to follow these tips to ensure none of your jars break.
