Manitoba Harvest's products reviewed

I recently discovered Manitoba Harvest's Hemp protein powders & Hemp Hearts and have been in heaven ever sense. This protein is plant based and not dairy or another alternative. Hemp and that's it. I've been very happy with it too!

Manitoba Harvest has an excellent line of products that provide Omegas plus protein. Each product is vegan, non-gmo certified, plant-based, and free of the common allergens. For the protein powders, Manitoba Harvest has created a comparison chart for their proteins. Hemp PRO 50, Hemp plus Fiber, and the flavored versions are raw and whole food based too.

Flavor wise, all products have a slight nutty flavor but do not contain nuts. By itself or in something, Manitoba Harvest provides a great line of protein products. 

Products reviewed...

Hemp PRO 70 contains 20g of protein and 3.4g Omegas in each serving. It easily mixes into water. I've also mixed this with nonfat, greek yogurt and it tastes great.

Hemp PRO 50 contains 15g of protein, 2.5g Omegas, and 7g of fiber in each serving. It blends into things well.

Hemp PRO Fiber contains 11g of protein, 2.7g Omegas, as well as 13g of fiber per serving.

Hemp Protein Dark Chocolate contains 8g of protein, 1.4g Omegas, and 10g of fiber per serving. 

Hemp Protein Vanilla contains 9g of protein, 1.8g Omegas, and 10g of fiber per serving.

Hemp Hearts provide 10g of protein and fiber in each serving. Add into yogurt or top on salads for a protein punch. Hemp hearts have also been added to smoothies or eaten by themselves too. Manitoba Hemp hearts also have an organic blend too.

Manitoba Harvest also has a line of Hemp Oils that I have not tried yet.

In my pantry, you will find these two products. Typically, I mix Hemp PRO 70 with 6-10oz of water per serving. Hemp PRO 70 also adds protein to your favorite pancake recipe too. Hemp PRO 50 is mixed into nonfat, low sugar, greek yogurt or sour cream for a spread or by itself.

New & Improved Enjoy Life Cookies review

A few weeks ago, Enjoy Life contacted me to review their new and improved soft baked cookies. I jumped at the opportunity and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived at my door.

Enjoy Life is one special company as they are free from the top 8 allergens (soy, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, and shellfish). They are also free of potato, sesame, casein, and sulfites. Enjoy Life never changes their top 8 plus more allergy-friendly dedication. That's one awesome thing about them. No worries if they will add milk or soy to their products. They won't! 

A little back story about their cookies. Enjoy Life was one of the first products I tried when I entered the food allergy world. Not only did I stare down the aisles and feel lost. I was desperate for something sweet and safe for me. There, in a local store, I found the soft brownie type cookies and it was love ever sense. There is a slight taste difference from the old recipe to new but it's for the better (in my opinion). 

Onto the cookies...

A personal favorite! Snickerdoodle cookies that will rock your socks off! Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles have the perfect blend of sugar and cinnamon in each bite. They are great by themselves too.

Mom's favorite and she doesn't even have any food restrictions. Just like a gingerbread cookie straight from the oven, these will knock your socks off. The Gingerbread spice cookies have a unique flavor and are good by themselves or with a warm beverage. 

Dad's favorite and he has no restrictions himself yet was willing to taste. The Double chocolate brownie cookies will rock your taste buds. It's a cookie and a brownie all in one. What's more to love? Snack on them by themselves or with a safe glass of milk. However you choose, these will not disappoint.

The Chocolate Chip cookies have the traditional taste of fresh baked, soft cookies. The texture is just right and these will satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you eat them right out of the package or warm them up, they have a great flavor! 

Two thumbs way up to Enjoy Life for their Soft Baked Cookies! Highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great cookie to try or as a treat. I recommend and love each flavor.

Enjoy Life does it again in rocking the food allergy friendly market! Find the cookies at your local health food store or use Enjoy Life Food's where to buy guide to find an option that works for you. Be sure to check out Enjoy Life's other products too.

FOUND: Best GF and food allergy friendly pizza

I am SO EXCITED and I just can't hide it.

I've been gluten free along with soy, nut, fish, and more free for six years now. I have finally found the BEST gluten free, soy free, nut free pizza of all times. I've had some horrible tastes/failures before but was a little sad when all of this pizza was gone. By far, this is the best pizza!

Behold, a fantastic nut free pesto pizza made by Against the Grain! It's like a celebration in your mouth and it was so yummy. It was like a pastry but lite crust and the perfect ingredients for it.While I won't have it every day, it will be a nice treat occasionally.

Pesto pizza ingredients: Tapioca starch, mozzarella cheese, eggs, canola oil, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, fresh basil, sunflower seeds, garlic, water.

Against the Grain is VERY allergy friendly and is up front about their allergens and what has what. They are free of wheat, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, yeast, corn, rice, and sugar. Some of their products contain dairy while all of them contain eggs. Their customer service is fantastic too! 

Just had to share a fantastic find.
