Yummy Healthy Crackers

 I first discovered Mary's Gone Crackers about a year ago through a promotion that sent out free samples. I thought they were delicious but was going through a really rough time with the food budget and knew there was no way I could possibly afford them.
Since moving and the start of my new life one of the changes has included getting help with food and God has blessed me adundantly. Now I can afford healthy food for the children and I. I have found a wonderful local grocery that carries the weirdest assortment of foods. From the ultra healthy to the terribly not.   But I am happy to say they are carrying Mary's Gone Crackers. I had some today for lunch and dipped them into Hummus. DELICIOUS!  I highly recommend you try them. They are made with brown rice, quinoa (which if you have read my blog you know I love), flax seeds and sesame seeds.
Such a tasty difference from the dead lifeless crackers that are offered on store shelves today.

Product Review

(Scroll mouse over review their are tons of links to more information.)
Finally Companies are allowed to use Stevia  in their products. The ban has finally been lifted by FDA.


I have just tried Zevia natural Cola. 
My mom picked it up for me. It is a little sweeter than I prefer. (I am a diet Pepsi addict ) But I think with time I will come to love it.  And this company offers a huge assortment of flavors. They have Root Beer, Twist, Cola, Orange, Black Cherry and Ginger Ale. Unfortunately it's not available in my area. Have to get it 1 hour away. (Which is where my mom is)  So I have printed off this paper  and am going to see if my local Target will carry it. They claim to be hip and with the times so we will see. Also it is a store I already shop every two weeks. If they won't then I will try my local health food store. But I'de love to see a big store like Target carry it for them. Plus just look at the ingredients.

Coca-Cola  is bringing out Sprite Green and Odwalla juice drinks, sweetened with Truvia.

PepsiCo said its first US PureVia sweetened products would SoBe Lifewater in three different flavors. (But it's not a cola it's a sweetened water like Kool-aid, only better) It's not my thing.

While I am glad the big companies are going to carry Stevia sweetend products I will probably stick with Zevia as long as I can find it, to help the little company survive.

YUM-O

I found some new Pita bread at Walmart. It is by far the best pita bread I have ever had. And it's actually all full grains! You'lle have to check it out!

The pita bread was so delicious that I bought several packages to bring home and put in my freezer. Joseph's Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Flour Pita Bread has 1.5 grams fat, 0 cholesterol, 334 mg sodium, 10 total carbs (5g diegary fiber, 1 sugar), and 7g protien. That means each pita has a total of only 5 net carbs. The bread is made by Joseph's Middle East Bakery, Inc. in Lawrence, Massachusetts.


UPDATE: I am very bummed my Walmart is no longer carrying this delicious bread. I plan to write to the company and see if I can get it anywhere else. If you have found it at a store please share that stores name!

 

Additional Update: I have found their address and email if you want to try to contact them yourself for your area.
