So I am a big coffee drinker, and I also am a type one diabetic. It does make it challenging to drink these fun flavored coffees because they are often pure sugar and elevate my blood sugar within minutes! I prefer more natural things but I will eat some sugar free alternatives. I understand that sugar free products are not […]
Nested Naturals SUPER Greens
I feel the first thing I hear when its cold and flu season is… “better get on your Vitamin C and greens!”. Well, Nested Naturals is here to help you out with that! This is a dietary supplement, and companies cannot make claims on your health as the FDA does not regulate supplements. However, per the bottle, this supplement “energizes […]
Mightylicious Gluten Free Cookies
Today’s review is of mightylicious gluten-free cookies. I was sent four different flavors to try. All four are gluten-free and three of them were vegan. The oatmeal raisin, oatmeal, coconut, double Dutch, chocolate chip cookies were vegan. The company was founded by a woman named Carolyn who is diagnosed with celiac disease which inspired these cookies.I noticed a few things. […]
The Sweetest Bean Gourmet Vanilla
As someone who loves to bake, real Vanilla extract is a common staple in my pantry. I won’t sacrifice flavor by getting imitation Vanilla, either. A little goes a long way! The ladies over at The Sweetest Bean sent me Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Powder. This is a woman owned business and two life long friends (LOVE a long […]
Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Lemon Cookies
Tate’s cookies hit home for me – I grew up in Long Island and remember seeing these on the shelves at the grocery store and being all proud – (not that I owned the company or anything). These uniquely crisp cookies were always super delicious. I often purchase the white chocolate macadamia ones. I saw this new flavor on the […]
Just Pure Foods Tomato Chips
My husband and I currently follow a rather strict diet – no seed oils, mostly carnivore, with fruits, some vegetables, and plenty of dairy/meat. A big issue with this diet is snacks- they are so hard to find as snacks that are out there are loaded with sugar or oils. Just Pure Foods sent me some Tomato chips to try. […]
TRANSFORMATION FACTORY SEA MOSS GEL
To be honest, I didn’t even know Sea Moss was edible prior to being offered to do a review! Per the company, the human body is made up of 102 essential minerals and sea moss has 92 of them- Pretty cool! The Sea moss is sourced from Jamaica. Unfortunately, the pineapple one exploded (in my fridge, much to my dismay, but […]
New Zealand Honey Co. Raw Manuka Honey
Honey is a staple in my diet, especially when I switched over to an animal based diet. Honey (and maple syrup) are my only added sugars I will eat (not including natural sugars in dairy or fruit). Manuka honey is a special honey, in that It comes from the honey bees that gather nectar from the Manuka tree. You may […]
Catalina Crunch Keto Friendly Fruity Cereal
Being a Type 1 Diabetic, I love a lower carbohydrate option. Generally, higher carbohydrate foods make my blood sugar spike and cereal is almost a guaranteed blood sugar spike. I was very excited when I saw this cereal on the shelves. I’ve been eyeing It for quite some time but the price tag had me avoiding It (10$ a bag). […]
Birch Benders Keto Syrup – Maple
As a Type 1 Diabetic, certain foods are hard to eat without a huge spike in my blood sugars. Any sweetener tends to fall under that rule, and maple syrup is no exception. For years I would use sugar free syrup sweetened with Sucralose or Aspartame, however recently I have decided to cut this from my diet and opt for […]
