Whether it’s discovering a new inclusive cookbook author or reaching for our tried-and-true clean products, we’re always seeking inspiring brands, projects, and people that make life more beautiful. Here’s a look at what we’re currently coveting, exploring, trying, and genuinely enjoying at PrimaFoodie.

PrimaFavorites: Autumn 2023 Edition

maui nui venison

“Peter Attia has been endorsing this for some time, which is why it originally caught my attention. This is wild harvested axis deer meat from Maui, sourced from a company that follows strict land stewardship practices. I had the tenderloin and it was, well, like a well-prepared tenderloin. There were no gristly bits; only tender, flavorful bites.” —Nichole

Stur Drinks

“Stur drinks are similar to other brands, like Mio or Crystal light, that flavor water except they do not use artificial or chemical sweeteners or any food coloring, such as Yellow Lake 5, Blue 1, Red 40, etc. I love how they’re in partnership with the Thrist Project, so for every order they donate one year of clean drinking water to a person in need. I struggle with drinking enough water throughout the day, and I have found these helpful in enhancing my intake. Plus, there are a ton of different flavors!” —Bonnie

“Smartless”

“Everything these guys say is funny. When I listen to this podcast, I’m always laughing out loud—which can be very awkward depending on where you are, and I love it! There doesn’t always need to be a point or a moral. They’re three friends—Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, and Jason Bateman—who shoot the breeze and lovingly having a go at each other. They also happen to interview some incredible guests. Oh and starting with Will Ferrell is never a bad idea.” —Nichole

laird superfood prebiotic daily greens

“I have tried nearly every chlorophyll-based alkalizing green powder I can get my hands on, and every one leaves some sort of chalky residue. That is, until I discovered this one, which recently came out. Made of adaptogenics, organic vegetables, and a bounty of mineral-rich algae, it’s a drinkable and actually enjoyable way to start my day. I feel good getting a perfect dose of pre and probiotics, vitamins, and aminos early in the morning” —Stacey

“How to Have Better Sex”

“Dr. Emily Morse, the revered sex expert and author, talks candidly on this episode of “The Mind Pump Podcast.” I took away so many great nuggets from her interview. Every woman and man should listen to this for their health.” —Nichole

Dr. Bronner’s Magic All-One Chocolate

“I’ve enjoyed every flavor but the coconut dark chocolate my current favorite—same for our entire household. It’s delicious and happens to be one of the cleanest and most sustainable chocolates I’ve found on the market.” —Nichole

“Your Genes May Influence What You Like to Eat”

“Scientific American consistently published the most riveting—and astonishing—articles on modern-day science and health. This piece explores how our genetics play a key role in why each of us likes certain foods and dislikes others. But what is additionally interesting is the role genetics has not only on our diet choice but on how our brain pathways respond to various foods and nutrients.” —Stacey

Poisoned: The Dirty Truth about Your Food

“Netflix’s new documentary dives into the history of food regulation and food borne illness. It sheds light on the sense of urgency about food regulations and reveals the frustrations between the USDA (what regulates meat, poultry, and eggs) and the FDA (which regulates all food involved in interstate commerce). Not only does the documentary reveal the current issues we face in the American food system, but it also highlights horrific details about food borne illness through providing examples of how meat transports throughout the food system from farming to end up on restaurant tables.” —Bonnie

Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones

“Author Dan Buettner, the journalist behind the acclaimed book Blue Zones, takes us around the world in this documentary. I’ve read a lot about blue zones over the years. I was intrigued by the new perspective the filmmakers are taking in this film, which focuses on the unique communities around the globe where people live long, healthy lives. It’s not just eating the right combination of native Mediterranean ingredients. It’s lifestyle and it’s things we can work into our own lives, sometimes easily, sometimes with a little work. This offers an accessible exploration into how we can live longer lives of higher quality.” —Nichole

to Dye For: How toxic fashion is making us sick and how we can fight back by Alden Wicker

“We recently explored Alden Wicker’s thoroughly reported book, which takes an aggressive look at the fast fashion industry and its impact on our health and planet. It truly is a critical read for everyone.” —Stacey
