It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for Friday Five 2.0. This week is the first week of the new format. Instead of picking themes, the five is up to us. It can also be a five minute read or a list of five.
Since Expo West, I have a TON of new food finds (and faves) to review and share. I’m going to share 5 food finds that I think you should be on the look out for.
BOLO for These Food Finds
1. TRUWOMEN Protein Bars – I found TRUWOMEN Protein bars in my Love with Food GF box (enter to win it through April 7) and in a Fit Snack Box. They’re all natural, 100% plant-fueled, gluten-free, protein packed and taste like your favorite treats. They come in four great flavors: Daydreaming About Donuts, Oh Oh Cookie Dough, Zamn Good Zesty Lemon and Smother-Fudger Peanut Butter. They only have 8g of added sugar but really hit the spot for my sweet tooth. The Donut and Cookie Dough bars have been a great afternoon snack – perfect with coffee! You can get them online or on Amazon Prime.
2. Olivia’s Croutons – These all natural, family made croutons are “the ones you’d make for yourself it you had time.” They come in five flavors – one is Gluten Free, two are vegan and they’re all all natural and low sodium. I tried the Parmesan Pepper in my soup and salad and then just ate them as a snack. Yum! I shared several flavors and they got thumbs up from everyone. You can definitely pass these off as homemade! You can get them online or on Amazon Prime.
3. Doug’s Nuts – Doug’s Nuts makes delicious nut and seed blends that are great on the go or for any occasion. They have three tasty blends: Original Blend, Coconut Beach Crunch and Habanero Honey. They’re a great blend of nuts and seasonings and a secret ingredient – beer! All blends are dairy free and the Coconut Beach Crunch and Habanero Honey are gluten free, too. I enjoyed the Original Blend in my travels and the Coconut Beach Crunch is like a natural Almond Joy – yum! You can get them online and at Natural Grocers.
4. Chixi Chickpea Butter – The folks at Chixi reached out to me to see if I wanted to try their new chickpea butter. Chixi is an allergen free, all natural nut butter made with chickpeas. They worked for years to make a wholesome chickpea butter that did not taste like hummus. It worked! Chixi comes in three flavors: Unsweetened, Lightly Sweetened and Vanilla Bean. I started with Vanilla Bean on apple slices. It was delicious. You can get Chixi online.
5. Fruigees Organic Fruit Squeezes – I met the guys from Fruigees at Expo West. They’re the only organic fruit snack in a squeeze pack made from fruit and veggie juices. They’re vegan, non-GMO and contain no added sugar. They come in three original flavors – Kale Grape, Carrot Orange and Beet Cherry. They have some protein packs and all new vibrant branding coming out soon! These are great for kids AND grownups. You can get them online (get 30% off with code Ericafinds) or on Amazon Prime.
There are many other great new finds I’ll be featuring soon!
