Can You Find a Delicious, Nutritious Meal for Only $1 & Change?

With New & Improved Eat-Smart®, It's Easy!

In the last year, many people have started learning new money skills as they're seeking to stretch each dollar. From cutting back on overall spending to reducing interest rates to improving their savings plans—there's a lot of valuable information to discover and put to use to live more abundantly on less.

But many people still believe it costs more to eat healthy. Not surprisingly. The costs of groceries were negatively affected by the increased cost of fuel in mid-2008, but even when fuel costs dropped dramatically, groceries still seem to cost more and more.

What's a person to do to eat smart for less?

"I don't know about you, but the 'dollar menu' at my local fast-food joint doesn't fit my lifestyle," shares Stephen Adele, CEO of iSatori Technologies, "and few can claim it does any good for their waistlines."

"Fortunately, there is another option," Adele continues. "One that costs a mere dollar and some change that truly nourishes the body with plenty of the highest quality proteins along with whole-food/low-glycemic carbohydrates, healthy fats in the form of flax, and added fiber along with probiotics, so it's friendly on the stomach. What's more, it contains none of the bad stuff—like aspartame, fructose, corn syrups, or trans (hydrogenated) fats! It's called Eat-Smart, the Total Nutrition Shake."

According to iSatori, the makers of Eat-Smart, "Eat-Smart makes a perfect meal anytime and supplies your body with the nutrients it needs to recover from physical exercise, sustain your energy levels, and build a healthy new you."

But how does it taste?

Cory Rosenbergh from Howell, MI, says it's "delicious": "When I received my Strawberry Cheesecake Eat-Smart yesterday, I wasted no time to whip up a quick shake. I was not disappointed. The new Eat-Smart was delicious! My blender is broken, so I used my shaker and was very happy to find that it mixed easily with no clumps. The shake was very smooth and had an unbelievable taste. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the Eat-Smart flavors."

Eat-Smart comes in four easy-to-mix dessert-like flavors: Double Vanilla Ice Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Cup, and perhaps the most popular, Chocolate-Chocolate Chip. All for just one dollar and some change a serving.

Voots Founder and Nutrition Industry Expert Shares His Top 5 Tips for Raising Healthier Kids

Stephen Adele, founder of popular supplement company and real father of three, shows busy parents that healthy eating is easier, and more critical, than they think

With childhood obesity at an all-time high in the United States, children's nutrition is becoming an increasingly pertinent issue to parents and caregivers. What's more, studies show that only seven percent of American children are getting their daily recommended allowances of fruits and vegetables. Stephen Adele, the founder of Voots, a supplement that provides a full day's serving of fruits and vegetables in two candy-like tarts, wants busy parents to understand that raising healthy, fit children is easy, affordable, and extremely important.

"Research indicates that all of a child's fat cells are formed by the time they are nine years old. This means that at a very young age, they've already developed a predilection to be fit and thin or overweight. As parents, it's our job to give our kids a fighting chance at being healthy adults. This means being mindful of their eating habits from the get go and following a few simple rules," Stephen Adele attests.

1. Understand that you are the nutritional role model for your kids. Like it or not, the first step to raising healthy, mindful eaters is becoming one yourself. As with many things, our children look to us for inspiration and influence when it comes to their diets. Don't think you can get away with eating what you'd like, as long as you provide a nutritional option for the little ones. Your kids will always want to eat what you eat. Even if you can control this during supervised mealtimes, you can't keep tabs on what they'll indulge in when you're not around. Make eating a balanced diet a family resolution.

2. Clean out those cupboards! It's easier to eat healthy if you have the right options around, and this starts by getting rid of all the wrong ones. I like to share three simple rules I call the "label test." First off, keep nothing that contains hydrogenated oils. Next, if sugar is the first or second ingredient listed, toss it. Finally, steer clear of all artificial flavors and colors. Reason being, hydrogenated oils are bad for our heart, too much can cause an early onset of diabetes, and artificial stuff makes kids behave more poorly and erraticly.

3. Make "better bad choices." Surprising as it may sound, the smallest changes can have a profound impact on our children's confidence, body, and behavior. As parents, we can't expect to successfully sustain huge, dramatic changes in our eating habits overnight. Instead, start making "better bad choices." Instead of fried or even baked chips, offer the kids veggie chips. In lieu of soda, offer real 100% fruit juice. When it comes time to eat on the go, skip the fast food joints and stop at a sandwich or burrito shop. While none of these options are perfect, they're realistic and significantly better than their alternatives. You will see a big difference in no time.

4. Empower your kids with knowledge. Your kids are never too young to learn how to make healthy eating choices. Don't be afraid to teach them about the things that are bad for them, or the dangerous effects that a bad diet can have on their bodies. If you teach them nothing else, teach your children to look at the amounts of sugars and fats in the foods they're contemplating eating. This will equip them with the tools they need to make good decisions when you are not around to monitor their nutritional behavior.

5. Get moving! Today's kids are so addicted to technology that as parents, we absolutely have to influence their physical activity. Enroll them in something active that gets them out of the house for several hours a week. Whether it's dance classes, team sports, or even a local volunteer program or social organization, getting up from behind the computer or in front of the television will do wonders for your kids. If your schedule doesn't allow you to viability get them to and from these activities, invest in a Wii sport/fit. This will engage you as a parent in exercise with your children and will improve their health and your relationship.
