For the past few years, my family and I have been using Earth Balance to butter our bread. It has zero trans fats. Plus it tastes great. (It received the 2006 Best Taste Award from American Culinary Chef’s Best.)
Most health-conscious folks use Smart Balance. I used to use it as well. But when I discovered Earth Balance in the vegan section of my local King Soopers, I gave it a whirl.
I must tell you, the flavor of Earth Balance is far superior to Smart Balance (even though it appears both are made by the same company). What’s more, it’s healthier, from what I can tell. It is made mostly (79%) from an expeller-pressed natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, canola, and olive). It is 100% vegan.
If you’d like a great-tasting, healthy butter substitute, try Earth Balance. We’ve “converted” nearly all of our family on both sides, plus some friends, to the product. Once they taste it, they never go back.
If you’re having bowel movements less than 2-3 times a day, consider yourself constipated. I was one of them. The chronic constipation caused painful bloating, embarrassing gas and chronic fatigue. Like most people I ended up snacking on prunes. But I only became more constipated. Read more » |

Hey! Ryan is alive! :)
Yeah – I haven’t had in in awhile, but earth balance really is way way way tastier than smart balance… even if more expensive.
Yes, I am alive. :-)
It’s nice to post again and hear from you.
Should I make an update post… about what I’ve been up to, etc.?
I kind of disappeared this summer and feel like I owe an explanation.
Ryan
Yes Ryan, we loyal readers demand an explanation on why you disappeared this summer. I started eating junk food while waiting for the next Health Blog post! ;-)
