Golde
Shavise Glascoe
For those of you who have been following me for a while or have the luxury of knowing me in real life (lol), know that I’m in the health and fitness field. Yes, I’m in the health and fitness field and enjoy beer, steak, sweets and all that jazz. The key to it all is BALANCE. Well that’s the key for me at least.
In my humble opinion, leading a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be boring, full of sacrifice and sadness (let’s be real about the sad Facebook posts we make about those diet plans lol). From the foods that I cook, products that I buy and eateries that I visit, I love variety. My love for variety, black owned businesses and general curiosity led me to spending an evening on BLK + GRN (which will have their own dedicated post later) in 2018 looking for new products to try.
On that evening, that I remember for some reason (but can’t remember where I left my keys), I discovered Golde.
Now before I talk about the product and how it’s impacted me, I need to pause briefly to praise whoever was responsible for this packaging. The packaging alone grabbed my attention but was also inviting enough for me to want to learn more about the product. So a massive round of applause is owed for that alone.
But beyond the beautifully crafted packaging, is GOLD or GOLDE. If you are new to the world of turmeric lattes, don’t fret because I’m pretty certain that GOLDE is a great place to start. I started with their original blend and eventually ventured over to the matcha and cacao blends. Not only were they amazing (with some coconut milk), but I also noticed a difference overtime. My skin cleared up while drinking it daily (yay adult acne) along with my joint pain(#teambackandkneepain).
After a few months of living my best and most beautiful life, Golde became a staple item in my pantry. When more products were released online and at my local Target, I had to try them all. So let’s do a little review.
Golde-Original Turmeric Superfood Latte Blend: What I love the most about this product is its versatility. I can mix this with hot water or coconut milk and anything else that sparks my interest. Although, I love to make a Golden Latte with this product, I do occasionally add it to smoothies.
Golde Shroom Shield: Whenever I’m not drinking the latte blends, I’m drinking Shroom Shield as my midday “hot” beverage. I’ve blended it with coconut milk to make the fanciest “Hot Chocolate” ever and I’ve also added to my smoothies. Either way it is a great blend and tastes amazing.
Golde Coconut Collagen Boost: I’ll be honest and note that I use this the most as of late. I add a scoop of this to my morning coffee to replace my creamer. This creamy coconut flavor is a joy with coffee. Not only is it beneficial, but it also tastes amazing. I’ve had other collagen products and either the consistency was off or the aftertaste ruined the drink. I experienced neither with this.
Golde- Ades: For one, I love the fact that they are packed by the serving. It’s great if you are on the go or traveling. Also, I love the fact that it dissolves easily and doesn’t have to be blended in or stirred to avoid clumps. I enjoyed the taste of each ade. The taste is fresh and lacks the yucky after taste that you will get from most dietary supplements. My personal favorite is the Skin Hydration Ade.
So if you have read this entire blog post without exploring the site for yourself, ran to Target or placed an order by now, I’m going to need you to promptly log off and get to it! It’s worth it, trust me.
