Raw Revolution Cashew & Agave Nectar – Video Product Review

Written by Max Goldberg on August 20, 2010. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.

In this video product review, I highlight Raw Revolution – Cashew & Agave Nectar.

I’ve been eating Raw Revolution bars for a few years and continue to do so. They are simply one of the best bars on the market.

There are several reasons why I keep buying them.

- The taste and quality of Raw Revolution bars are excellent. You can tell that they are made with excellent ingredients.

- Raw Revolution bars are very filling. I always feel satiated after eating one, and it can definitely hold me over until the next meal.

- Lastly, Raw Revolution bars are raw. This means no ingredient was heated above 118 degrees – vitamins, minerals and nutrients remain intact.

If you’re looking for a great tasting and filling bar, try Raw Revolution Cashew & Agave Nectar. It is one of my favorites and can be purchased HERE.

The Best of 2010 Natural Products Expo West

Written by Max Goldberg on March 22, 2010. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.

Last week, I spent several days in Anaheim, California attending the 2010 Natural Products Expo West.  It is the premier show for organic food companies and needless to say, I had a fantastic time.

Not only did I get to see tons of new products and discover brands that I had never heard of, but I was able to meet the people behind all of these companies.

Ever since livingmaxwell launched, the one piece of feedback that I constantly hear is that consumers like to look in the eyes of the people who are making their food.

They want to shake their hands, engage in conversation and develop a degree of confidence that the food they are eating is truly organic.

I’m no different.

I, too, like to meet the people who make the food that I am eating.  I want to know if they are as passionate about and committed to organic as I am.  At Expo West, I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to do this.

There were dozens of products that really impressed me, and many of them I will be showcasing on livingmaxwell in the months to come.

However, these six stood out from the rest. Read More »

Top 5 Organic Food Trends for 2010

Written by Max Goldberg on January 4, 2010. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.

I just knew that the hundreds and hundreds of hours I have spent roaming the aisles of supermarkets and studying menus at organic restaurants would come in handy one day.

But, I had no idea that it would lead to me writing this post.  So, here it goes….

1) More and More Coconuts

Coconuts have taken on much more prominence as of late.  A bunch of ice creams, including Luna and Larry’s Organic Coconut Bliss and Purely Decadent, have coconuts as their central ingredient.  Energy bars, such as those from Raw Revolution, have used them in their products for a while.

In terms of organic coconuts, this is what I foresee.

Organic coconut water: Coconut water is a hot trend in the beverage world right now.  Some people consider coconut water to be the ultimate post-workout drink because it contains electrolytes.

However, nearly all of those boxes of coconut water that are flying off the shelves in the supermarkets are not organic.  It is only a matter of time before we see a shift to organic. Read More »

Product Recommendation: Raw Revolution – Agave Nectar and Cashew

Written by Max Goldberg on December 14, 2009. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.

cashewI’ve been wolfing these down lately and keep a stash of them in my car.

This bar is  sweet yet is also filling and does a great job of curbing my hunger.  The other flavor that I love is the hazelnut & chocolate.  It tastes like an amazing brownie.

Ideal for a pre-workout snack and it can be purchased online HERE.

Also, please watch my video product review.

Product Recommendation: Organic Food Bar – Active Greens

Written by Max Goldberg on December 14, 2009. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.

The company claims to be the world’s first organic bar and the world’s top-selling bar.  This wouldn’t surprise me in the least given how many years I have been eating their product.  It remains to this day one of my all-time favorites.

Lots of greens including spirulina, wheat grass powder and barley grass powder.

For some reason, I like to put it in the fridge and eat it cold.  It seems to taste better that way.

Sold throughout the country at natural/organic stores and also online HERE.
