At Tastermonial, we believe that understanding what you eat is the key to unlocking your path to wellness. Join us as we embark on a culinary journey inspired by the Blue Zones—regions of the world renowned for longevity and well-being.
Blue Zones are areas across the globe where people consistently live longer, healthier lives. The Blue Zone regions of the world are: Okinawa, Japan, Icaria, Greece, Sardinia, Italy, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica and Loma Linda, California, USA. These regions share common lifestyle factors that contribute to their exceptional longevity. The key components include a plant-based diet, regular physical activity, strong social connections, and a sense of purpose.
In collaboration with Feed App we at Tastermonial have curated two special boxes—California Dreamin' and Mediterranean Mosaic—inspired by the Blue Zone principles. Let's explore how each box aligns with the dietary patterns of the California and Mediterranean Blue Zones.
California Dreamin' Box :
This box takes you on a journey through the Golden state, emphasizing a plant-based diet with components like Artichoke Hearts in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Classic Seed Crackers, King City Pink Beans, and California Wild Rice. Curated for vitality by Tastermonial, this box mirrors the plant-powered lifestyle celebrated in the California Blue Zone.

Challenge: Rice Peaks Showdown
Background: Rice is a staple in many diets, but its impact on blood glucose levels can vary. Let's compare the blood glucose response of traditional white or brown rice with the nutritional powerhouse, California Wild Rice.
Challenge:
Day 1: Consume a meal with either white or brown rice and monitor your blood glucose levels before and after.
Day 2: Replace the rice in your meal with California Wild Rice. Note any differences in taste and texture while closely monitoring your blood glucose levels.
Observations: Compare your peaks on the Tastermonial app and consider factors like satiety, energy levels, and overall well-being. Share your results with our community on https://www.facebook.com/groups/theglucosechallenge
Challenge: Olive Oil Incentive

Day 1: Incorporate extra virgin olive oil in your meal, either as a dressing or finishing oil, and monitor blood glucose levels.
