100 calorie HEALTHY snacks

wow can we talk about this for a second please..... here is a list of what webmd.com is proposing people eat for a 100 calorie healthy snack (this is absurd! and you will be very hungry still!!!!) Each of these snacks below are full of refined sugar, that will lead to inevitable crashes

Sweet Treats

Good Housekeeping Magazine

-5 Nabisco Nilla Wafers
-1 Whole Foods Market Two-Bite Brownie
-1 Healthy Choice Mocha Fudge Swirl Bar
-9 Tootsie Roll Midgees
-1 pouch Keebler Sandies Right Bites Shortbread Cookies
-½ cup Sharon's Lemon Sorbet with 1/4 cup blueberries
-1 Skinny Cow Fat Free Fudge Bar
-1 Nestlé Butterfinger Stixx
-12 vanilla Miss Meringue Minis
-4 Country Choice Certified Organic Ginger Snaps
-1 Vitamuffin Vitatop

Savory Bites

-29 pistachios
-60 Pepperidge Farm Baby Goldfish Crackers
-1 Jolly Time Healthy Pop 100 Calorie Mini Bag popcorn
-25 EatSmart Café Fries
-12 Back to Nature Sesame Ginger Rice Thins
-12 Quaker Quakes Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks
-40 Rold Gold Classic Style Pretzel Sticks

Dairy Delights

-1 Laughing Cow Light Creamy Garlic & Herb cheese wedge and 3 Triscuits
-1 Kraft Polly-O Superlong Twist-Ums string cheese stick
-1 Yoplait Light Smoothie
-½ cup low-fat cottage cheese with 5 strawberries

Hearty Helpings

-Campbell's Soup at Hand Blended Vegetable Medley
-1 hard-boiled egg with 1 slice Melba toast
-4 slices Sara Lee Honey Ham with 2 teaspoons honey mustard, rolled in lettuce leaf
-½ mini bagel with 1 ounce smoked salmon

Ok so from my 1st sentence you can obviously tell that the above list is what I do NOT recommend people consume as there in-between meal 100 cal snack. If you were to eat any of the above you would feel hungry very shortly after, and you would be wasting yet another 100 cals that you will have to figure out how to burn off or suffer the consequences.


here is a list of proposed 100 cal snacks that will not only fill you up but leave you energized (not about to doze off at your desk)

-2 cups raspberries ...2 whole cups that is a ton!
-28 grapes
-1 cup blueberries
-1 cup mango chunks
-½ medium cantaloupe... i eat this for an entire meal, and this is a snack option!
-1 medium banana.......these are pretty filling so if you are extra hungry go this route!

not to mention fruit digests easily and quickly when eaten alone (not mixed with anything) and even better when eaten mono (eating 1 type fo fruit at a time)...This means you will not fill bogged down from your snack time

My 1st "Un-Cooking" Course


My 1st "Un-Cooking" Course went spectacular. I appreciate Stephen from Mooi for letting me use his space it was just perfect. I thank all the people who came, and my friends that showed up to support. I was nervous :) but I think it went well, and I am very excited to do my Next one on 11/27.

20 people came to this past class on 11/13, I spoke of proper food combining, and sequential eating. I provided a handout w/ the food combining rules, with a food combining chart, w/ the recipes, sequential eating rules, which deserts to eat 1st, which not to eat, what combinations to avoid, etc.

The recipes were a thai theme. I started w/ a pineapple mango parfait w/ a strawberry puree sauce. Then there were my non-fat twist on Thai Spring Rolls, and ended with a low-fat Tom Kha coconut soup. I got great reviews on the food, everyone really enjoyed them. This was a relief because I do not use any spices nor condiments, and some peoples palettes might not be ready for that "clean" of food, but I received zero complaints, so I am stoked.

I will be posting a video of the class shortly on my youtube channel Stacey Hearts Fruit

The booklet I made w/ food combining lessons, and recipes will be for sale for 10$, I can send you the booklet & videos of the class plus recipe demos for $20

If you would like to attend the next class please email me to RSVP for a discounted price of $10

My Fruitarian TV Show!


My Fruitarian TV Show


It is finally here, and I just got to watch it. The series is called "My Life In Food" and the episode I was featured in is called " Extreme Diets".

Now there is a part where a "Doctor" says that one can only get the vitamin B12 by eating meats & dairy products, now this is just not true!

read this article (by clicking that link) & read below.

Vitamin B12 is a microbe -- a bacteria -- which is produced by microorganisms. Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that contains a trace element -- cobalt -- which gives this vitamin its chemical name, cobalamin, which is at the center of its molecular structure. Humans and all vertebrates require cobalt, although it is assimilated only in the form of Vitamin B12.

If you are in the habit of eating unwashed veggies, these may contain small amounts of B12, as it is produced by microbes found in soil.

If we were all living the same as we once did one with nature, B12 would not be a problem. We foraged for fruit getting bacteria from plants all over our bodies, e gardened daily getting soil all over our bodies, we bathed in creeks, lakes, rivers & the ocean getting mineral rich water and soil all over our bodies... We have 1 billion-trillion tiny mouths which are called pores. They too eat, and if we were one with nature they would be eating all the b12 they would need, and no such deficiency would exist, even without eating meat, dairy & sea products....so get out there and start gardening folks, or even go to the hot springs near you :)

Enjoy the Show!!!

One to Two (That Easy)!!!

wow so now I have 2 clients on the "Raw Beauty Challenge" weeee so exciting. Started off with Jenn, and then her husband decided to join after listening in on our conversation....it was too tempting to resist ;)

I have started each client off on a 7 day smoothie detox to kick off their new lifestyle. Surprisingly both embraced the change very well.

here is how we started:

1. I drove to clients home
2. I had clients change into form fitting clothes
3. I started each client a Nutridiary.com account (to track progress, get goal weight date & get calorie count idea)
4. took & logged clients measurements
5. logged clients current weight
6. Nutridiary.com formulated calorie goal per day based on goal weight & weight loss rate
7. We discussed likes and dislikes (for when the will be eating raw meals prepared by yours truly Raw Beauty Chef Stacey J)
8. I went over a health lesson on proper food combining.
9. I went over transition rules
10. I went over buying Smoothie Rules when they are in a pinch (where to go and what to get)
11. We went grocery Shopping
12. We came home unloaded, and made our 1st smoothie :)))
13. I gave them some smoothie recipes
14. Today I have been on text with them motivating and answering questions

Check out our website RawBeautyChallenge to see their progress, or our youtube channel to see interviews RawBeautyChallenge..
