Questlove’s Cheesesteak from Goldbelly
You may know Questlove as the GRAMMY Award-winning drummer, the co-founder of The Roots, and the musical director for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, but he is also a devoted foodie. Not only is he a James Beard Award-nominated and New York Times Best Selling author and host of “Food Salons” with world-renowned chefs, but he is also the brains behind a one-of-a-kind cheesesteak made with plant-based Impossible, which has been served at music venues and sports arenas and ballparks across the country. And now his signature cheesesteak is shipping straight to your door.
Questlove’s Cheesesteak starts with Impossible and sautéed onions cooked on a flat top, doused in a melted real American and Provolone cheese sauce, topped with banana peppers and pickles, and — like all the best Philly cheesesteaks — tucked into a roll from Philly bakery Amoroso’s. Questlove’s Cheesesteak will be donating a portion of the proceeds from all orders through the end of the year to America’s Food Fund, an organization focused on solving the issue of food insecurity.

SNACK On-The-Go Tasty Superfood Clusters
SNACK is a new fun, all-natural, Spirulina-based snack cluster. Spirulina — one of the world’s most popular superfood — is notably loaded with various nutrients and antioxidants that are known to be beneficial for the body and brain alike. It was consumed by the ancient Aztecs for centuries and is unmistakable for its “greenish” color, as a result of Phycocyanin, the primary blue-green pigment in Spirulina.
There are 4 different blends of SNACK clusters currently on the market, each containing 5 grams of protein and 140 calories per. These blends are Apricot & Matcha (Energize & Focus), Banana & Cinnamon (Relax & Recover), Apple & Tart Cherry (Relax & Recover), and Blueberry & Matcha (Energize and Focus). All great stuff indeed.
