Sweet Tooth

From time to time, it's nice to indulge--in moderation of course. Most of these sweet allergen free treats can be found in my pantry on a rotating basis. Many of them are actually lower in sugar or organic sweeteners than normal sweets found in the grocery store. So you can satisfy that occasional craving while not setting your health back. Agave nectar, stevia, and organic fruit juices are some of the sweeteners that can be found in some of my favorite yums...I support a health conscious, and very moderate sweet tooth. The following items are gluten, soy, wheat, peanut, fish, shellfish, egg, and dairy free.

1. Navitas Naturals Cacao powder--I add this to my Brown Rice protein shakes for a healthy boost of flavor with no added sugar. Just pure antioxidants.
2. Navitas Naturals Raw Cacao Nibs--A strong source of healthy antioxidants. Add them to daily shakes, trail mixes flax cereals, gluten free oatmeal, and more. Read about the benefits of Cacao here, at the bottom of the page.
3. Yummy Earth Organic Gummy Bears--All organic and natural gummies. NO artificial colors or anything! Some are even colored with beet juice--but trust me, they taste better than the super sugar laden versions you'd usually find in the candy aisle. Made in an allergen free facility.
4. Enjoy life Crunchy Double Chocolate Cookies--Delectable! I compared the sugar content to Chips Ahoy (a popular "regular" allergy laden standard cookie brand) and found it to be about 2 times less sugar per serving size.
5. Glee Gum, Bubblegum Flavor--I am so happy to finally find allergen free chewing gum! About to feel like a 5th grader again in 5..4...3..2...1...
6. Surf Sweets Jelly Beans--Made in a facility free of the top 8 allergens.
7. Luna and Larry's Coconut Bliss Ice Cream in Dark Chocolate--They have so many awesome flavors to choose from, and what I especially love is that they use Agave nectar instead of processed sugar. They also refrain from using legumes like Locust bean gum and Carob bean gum (which I react to having soy and legume allergies). I LOVE this brand.
8. and 9. VerMints, in Peppermint, Chai, and many other flavors--Free of the top 8 allergens, and made in a dedicated allergen free facility.

10.  Surf Sweets Gummy Fruity Hearts--Such a cute gift for your allergen free sweetie. No hints here at all.
11. Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries--Just raw goji berries and nothing else. A naturally sweet and healthy treat.
12. Enjoy Life Snickdoodle Cookies--Soft baked, chewy, cinnaminny goodness! My personal favorite of the moment.

Remember to indulge responsibly and moderately with all sweet treats.

Wishing you a naturally sweet and magical weekend.
