The Review
My family is no stranger to the perils of gluten and wheat. My husband has both gluten and wheat allergies and suffers from leaky gut syndrome. His diet fluctuates with what his digestive system allows for him to eat without intestinal pain, colitis and sometimes the inability to hold food down. Although the children and I don't have the severe allergies that my husband has, we have toned down our diet and our pantry, to meet many of his needs. Which in the past meant plenty of sacrifice or sneaking out to get foods that dad couldn't tolerate, in order to not make him feel bad. The rest of us do maintain a semi-vegetarian (we are primarily ova-lacto-pescetarian's) and our own "healthy menu's" are limited, without having the restriction of wheat to add to the mix.
The variety of food has changed throughout the years, even for vegetarians, with the availability of new products that are healthy and suit the need of people who want to refrain from eating meat (even if only part-time) and were also tasty. Now with more people having wheat and gluten allergies, we are also seeing a shift in the availability of savory and delicious gluten/wheat free foods. I am on the learning curve of figuring out how to make more palatable foods that meet the needs of my families wants and our necessities. Companies like gfreely make this transition a little bit easier and a lot of bit more tolerable.
We were given the wonderful opportunity to review the gfreely subscription box service. They are a company that delivers kind of "care" package of
gluten free food, snacks and recipes to your front door every month as a kind of "try before you buy" method. It is through their monthly
subscription, which starts at only $19/month. They make it their mission to find the healthiest and best gluten
free foods and recipes that meet the high standards in food quality,
taste and nutrition. Which totally takes the load off of you and your wallet, with having to trial and error.
It is also interesting to know that each month they
choose a new, unique theme for their food. So you are not only getting great food, that is healthy and delicious but it is always a surprise at your door each month! In our package we had yummy snacks that I personally couldn't keep my hands off! We had a box OVER filled with delicious yummies to snack on and play with. I am definitely a believer in this subscription box service and in realizing that Gluten free can actually be tasty.
Here is a list of some of what we got in our package:
The Granola Bar Mother Nature Intended:
Say Hello to Grawbar from Graw Foods
The Graw Bar is a granola bar that is raw, sprouted straight from earth –
the way mother nature intended. Loaded with raw, organic, sprouted
ingredients like pumpkin seeds, buckwheat and almonds, Grawnola puts the
“super” in superfood.
Chiquita Super Crunchy Fruit Chips: Banana
Chiquita super crunchy banana fruit chips are made from fresh fruit,
“air-crisped” to create a delicious and crunchy chip. They bring out
the naturally sweet flavor of the fruit, without adding any sugar, oils
or preservatives.
Vigilant Eats SuperFood Cereal
Just add hot or cold water and eat this incredible superfood oatmeal on-the-go. Certified organic, gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO. This oat-based cereal - call it super oatmeal - includes raw goji berries, raw cacao nibs, and hemp powder, as well low glycemic whole food sweeteners. Comes in a 6-pack of Goji Cacao flavor.
Kay's Naturals Cinnamon Toast Pretzel Sticks
A satisfying and delicious snack that can be
enjoyed any time of the day. Made will all-natural ingredients, Providing as much protein as 3
small eggs and as much fiber as an apple in a single 1.2-oz serving.
These nutrient dense Mini Meals mimic old snack and cereal favorites and
are a great tool to help anyone giving up bad eating habits for
healthier foods.
Halfpops, Natural Butter & Pure Ocean Sea Salt
Air-Popped Locally. Certified Gluten-Free. Less Fluff More Flavor. All Natural Ingredients.
A Brand New Snack Experience. Dig in and discover popcorn's uncomplicated core. Partially popped,
and fully delicious. Savor the crunchy heart of air-popped kernels.
Rice with Adzuki Bean Snack Chips, Natural Salt
By combining a distinctive taste of the Southwest with the all-natural
flavors of the Far East becomes Rice & Adzuki
Bean Natural Salt Artisan Snacks. The light crispiness of these snacks
feature the sweet taste of adzuki beans made even more delectable by an
added dash of salt. It is the first mainstream consumer product in the
U.S. to feature the nutritious adzuki bean.
Dark Chocolate Sun Cups
In the Dark Chocolate Sun Cups, this fantastic force of nature has met
its match in roasted sunflower butter—the most epic peanut-alternative
the allergic and gluten intolerant could ever imagine. If you’ve been on
the lookout for a darker version of nut free chocolate candy, look no
further. And as with all our products, our Dark Chocolate Sun Cup is
gluten free as well.
Saffron Road Moroccan Tagine Simmer Sauce
Magic happens inside the domed earthenware pot called the Tagine. Deep
inside it, food and spices are transformed by a long
simmering that creates amazing sauces filled with flavor. See how it turns any meal into a Moroccan delicacy. All
natural and Certified Halal, Saffron Road’s Simmer Sauces are held to
the highest standards for wholesomeness and culinary excellence.
Without a doubt my family had favorites and these will be regular buys in our home from now on. My children loved the Sun Cups and what I found out in addition to them being Gluten Free is they are also Nut Free! The filling is made with Sunflower Butter (YUM!) instead of peanut butter, so even those little ones with nut allergies can enjoy their own version of "reeses".
The main favorite was the Rice and Adzuki Bean Snack Chips. My DH and I practically fought over the last bits of the bag. It has just enough kick of spice to fulfill our craving palate. I personally passed on the pretzel sticks but that is because I don't favor the Cinnamon Toast flavoring they had. I'm more of a salty/savory person although my husband really enjoyed them. Opposingly, I enjoyed the Half Pops and he thought they were just "Okay".
Overall, my family was pleased with what we received in the gfreely. Gluten
free products tend to be rather expensive, so I really like the option that the subscription box gives you of being able to try the products before you invest in them. I also believe they offer a fair
price for what you are receiving every month and knowing that you will have quality products delivered to your door.
