I like to have some snacks throughout the day, and usually go for almonds or mixed nuts. But I really like when I have the chance to try something different. They're snacks are certified organic, non-GMO, and they also have gluten-free options! I had the chance to try Superfood Coconut Chips, Superfood Almonds and Superfood Pepitas by Navitas Snacks. And if you are curious about what they meant by superfood, here's a portion of their definition from their website - "A superfood is a nutrient-dense fruit or vegetable that contains a high content of antioxidants, protein, omega-3, minerals, fiber or other essential nutrients that have proven health benefits."  Read more about it on their website.  And here's my thoughts on what I had the chance to review - Coconut Chips (Cacao) I liked these although they were a bit chewy and stuck together, but they tasted GREAT! I LOVED how they tasted. It had a light coconut flavor but I they had a cocoa vibe to

Send Me Gluten-Free - August Box Review (And Giveaway)

Image
Some time ago, I had the chance to review the monthly subscription box for Send Me Gluten Free . It had a variety of interesting flavors and experiences to try - some I enjoyed more than others. And I had the chance to try out the July subscription box and I can't wait to tell you about it! Take a look at the photo above and that will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect inside, but here's more about each item I received - Beanfield Bean Rice Chips - Nacho You can't go wrong with chips and I love these bean & rice chips. They taste hearty and you can taste the mild bean flavor, which is a good thing (makes me feel healthy!). This is a better alternative to the standard chips you may buy in the store. I highly recommend trying these for yourself. Keenwah Quinoa Puffs Aged Cheddar Oh these were good, but EXTREMELY crunchy. Like, whoa, crunchy. But they were still awesome, and I loved the cheddar flavor. Gluten Free Toast Cover I

I can't wait to tell you about this tasty new treat that I had the chance to try. And oh these were so good. WB Kitchen started in 2012 by Chris Feuille. It's paleo friendly and their honey treats they create are organic, non-gmo, and  is a paleo friendly AND gluten-free! I had the chance to try out their Brownie Honey Cookie, Coconut Shortbread, Cinnamon Raisin, Maple Pecan, Peanut Butter as well as some of their new coffee bars that include Chocolate, Honey Nut, Peanut Ginger, and Mocha Java. Of the ones I tried the peanut butter and brownie honey flavors were my favorite. I loved these so much - I'm a huge fan of anything peanut butter anyways. These won't make you feel guilty either because they aren't overly bogged down with sugar. The coffee bars were an interesting experience and not as much of a "cookie" or "brownie" texture as the other bars, but they were still good (I didn't have the guts to try out the peanut ginger, thou

Celebrate The End of Summer with Glutino

Image
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the summer season and this summer in particular has been fairly miserable. The heat has been tremendous! But as each season comes to an end, particular as the fall season comes in, I end up feeling a little melancholy. I realize how quickly the year has gone (although I am well aware how the awesome holidays are soon upon us!). So, if you are in the mood to celebrate the end of summer, make sure you pick up some amazing Glutino products. I had the chance to try a few of their items, and even some new items, and I can't wait to share these with you.   As you will see above, I am showing you one of my favorite finds - tortilla dippers!! These can withstand any of your party's dip. You WILL want these - I am huge fan of things like salsa, ketchup, all that good stuff. So chip dippers like me will appreciate this.

Alternative Baking Company - One Smart Cookie [Review and Giveaway]

Image
Remember my review of the Alternative Baking Company ? Well I reviewed some of the amazing treats some time ago, and I can't wait to tell you about some more treats I had the chance to try recently. The last time I reviewed some of the awesome, tasty "I can't wait for more" gluten free cookies. Well, this time I had the chance to try something called, "That's One Smart Cookie" made by the same amazing baking company. Check them out below - I tried out Chocolate Chip and Coconut Fudge. And you know what? I thought they were pretty good! They are definitely not very sweet but actually I didn't mind. You know what I did? I stirred it into my yogurt (which gave it a major upgrade) and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. The chocolate chip has 7 grams of protein (and 8 grams net carbs) and the coconut fudge has 7 grams of protein. These were definitely a treat that needs something with it, like maybe a mild slathering of peanut butter or almond butter,
