Charles Rosenberg, M.S., Certified Nutritionist

A nutritionist letting you know what's new in the health food industry. Watch for my short reviews.

I have been in practice as a nutritionist since 1997 when I graduated with a master's degree in nutrition from Bastyr University (www.bastyr.edu) in Seattle, WA. As a nutritionist I take a non-dogmatic approach to health and wellness, incorporating elements of macrobiotics, raw foods and other alternative and complementary philosophies of diet. My emphasis is on a whole foods, plant based diet as

a primary tool for health improvement, along with the use of medicinal herbs and dietary supplements.

Last night's simple dinner: pan fried fish, kale and carrots and rice cooked in the Kamado-san

Healthy home style Japanese cooking at Yuko Kitchen, one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. We went to the one in Mid Wilshire. There's another in downtown Los Angeles.

It's hot out tonight so to cool down during healthier happy hour we made a tall drink with lime cardamom herbal sparkling water. We added fresh squeezed orange juice and gin. A very adult drink as the only sweetness comes from the orange juice. No added sugar in Aura Bora which equals no added calories.

Healthier Happy Hour tonight was a can of Figlia Fiore Frizzante, a non-alcoholic aperitif soda (okay, I added a little vodka!). Very light bitterness with enticing flavors of rose and clove. The label claims that it has no added sugar but this is misleading as the second ingredient, after water, is white grape juice concentrate. It has 10 grams of sugar per serving which is about a third of what's in Coca cola so Figlia is clearly a healthier beverage from that perspective. Very tasty and beautiful color.

Today's Healthier Happy Hour was a "Caribbean Mojito" from MixoloShe made by Smashd. It's an alcohol free, low sugar, mojito flavored sparkling water, but makes a good mixer with vodka , which we used, or white rum or cachaca. We added a few drops of Now Foods "Green" Black Walnut Wormwood Complex which adds a bitter note. Use sparingly! It's very bitter.

Today's Healthy Happy Hour drink was made with Spindrift Sparkling Water (blood orange/tangerine) and Golden Farms Foods Tropical Sauce (pineapple, papaya and passion fruit), plus a splash of tequila. Simple and refreshing. We pulled out the rainbow 🌈 tablecloth since it's Gay Pride Month. Cheers!

We made chocolate blancmange! So easy. We used one 14oz bottle of Darigold FIT Chocolate milk (reduced fat, lactose free and 40% less sugar than standard chocolate milk), an equal amount of Chobani oat milk, four tablespoons of Chocolates Valor Valorcao hot chocolate mix and two packets of gelatin. Mix all ingredients and heat until warmed. Refrigerate in jello mold. You can substitute agar powder for gelatin. Results will be equally light, refreshing and delicious.

Healthier Happy Hour cocktail last night was made with TheHealtea Nettle Rosemary Sparkling Botanical Infusion. Ro water, listed on the front of the can, means reverse osmosis filtered water. It's sweetened with a light touch of maple syrup, but it won't remind you of pancake breakfast. We added lemon juice, a touch of raspberry syrup, a shot of vodka and a drop of bitters.

Did you know that Torani has an all natural line? It's happy hour and we're having a strawberry margarita made with Torani Puremade strawberry syrup.

Sfoglini is the pasta company that makes the famed Cascatelli noodle designed by Sporkful podcaster Dan Pashman. I'm listening to him being interviewed on KCRW's Good Food with Evan Kleiman as I write this. As of now, there's no whole grain Cascatelli but I was very pleased to see the wide variety of whole grain pastas Sfoglini does make, including this Reginetti, at Natural Products Expo West. Such good pasta!

Tempeh is an Indonesian fermented soy food that is prepared in many ways including being fried into crunchy chips. We liked Jans high protein tempeh chips when we tried them at the Natural Products Expo West. They were thinner and less greasy than other tempeh chips I've tried in the past.

Yuzu, the Japanese citrus fruit, seems to be "on trend". We saw many yuzu flavored products at the Natural Products Expo, including this Sparkling Yuzu Lime beverage from Fever-Tree . Very lightly sweetened so it's a healthier alternative to conventional sodas and mixers.
