I hope you had a successful week!
Here in Colorado, we can definitely feel the weather changing. The colors too – the mountains are filled with bright yellow aspen trees. They are stunning! Fall is a fun season, it isn’t too cold and isn’t too hot. It is football season, aka FOOD season!
This Friday Favorites – I decided to dedicate to FOOD! I have been getting to know a lot of new brands and food items due to my dairy free and gluten free lifestyle. I am loving finding great products that don’t hurt my tummy!
Here are some of my Friday {Food} Favorites:
Amazing Grass Green SuperFood
I got to try out an awesome sample pack of Green Superfood including: Original Green SuperFood, Tangerine Immunity Green SuperFood, Chocolate Green SuperFood, Lemon Lime Energy Green SuperFood, Alkalize and Detox Green SuperFood, ORAC Green SuperFood and Pineapple Lemongrass Green SuperFood. This opportunity was provided by #MomsMeet and #AmazingGrass.
There are many reasons I like these nutrient-dense organic greens… the top being – they are vegan and gluten free! They are easy to enjoy with water, milk, juice or even in a smoothie. The shaker cup comes in handy to mix these drinks up in a flash. These greens are truly super food – they are rich in antioxidants, whole foods, and helps me achieve my daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.

Van’s Blissfully Berry and Cocoa Sensation
I have been a big fan of Van’s for awhile now. The Van’s bars and cereals are incredible! They are a tasty gluten free option I can feel good about snacking on! I love when they create new products in their line-up because it seems they never go wrong!
Their newest cereals are Van’s Blissfully Berry and Van’s Cocoa Sensation. The Blissfully Berry is unlike any other cereal! It is sweet, hearty and delicious. It is at the top of our favorites list! The Cocoa Sensation is chocolate-y goodness. If you like chocolate cereals, this is a great gluten free option! Both are nutrient dense, dairy free, egg free, corn free and have no artificial flavors or high fructose corn syrup!

Foster Farms Gluten Free Corn Dogs
These corn dogs taste just like the real deal. I feel like I am at the fair when I snack on these. It is so satisfying to eat gluten free foods that don’t taste any different from their gluten-filled shelf partners! I am such a huge fan of these, that I have been sharing them with my gluten free friends too!
Not only does Foster Farms have gluten free corn dogs, but they also have gluten free breast strips and gluten free breast nuggets. I haven’t tried these, but I am sure they are also great GF options!
** P.S. – I like to dip my corn dogs is 1 part ketchup 1 part mayonnaise and a dash of Lawry’s seasoning = best dipping sauce for hot dogs, corn dogs and fries!

KeVita Probiotic Drink
I am a probiotic drink fanatic. These specialty drinks are my favorite way to enjoy probiotics (and the most refreshing!). KeVita has a tremendous line up of flavors, including Lemon Ginger, Pomegranate, Mango Coconut, Lemon Cayenne, Blueberry Cherry, and more. I have tried nearly all the flavors, and have loved every one! These are great for the immune system due to the probiotic cultures in them. I love that they are dairy, lactose and gluten free!

Al Fresco Chicken Sausage
Sausage is a meat I like to cook all year! However, I found that many brands have all sorts of crazy additives, including gluten. Well, I can’t handle that. That is why I turn to Al Fresco. They have the most delicious chicken sausage, and it fits my dietary needs!
Have you tried their chicken sausage with red and green peppers? It is a little spicy, has tons of flavor and is perfect alone or in a meal. I love cooking it on the grill with my garden peppers and some onion! It is a quick and easy gluten free meal.
Beyond being gluten free, Al fresco’s chicken sausages and burgers have 70% less fat and 30% less sodium than pork products. All are made with lean, skinless chicken meat. Some of the delicious flavors include: spinach & feta fully cooked chicken sausage, roasted garlic & herb fresh chicken sausages, buffalo style fresh chicken burgers and sweet Italian style chicken grillers.

Life Basics Organics Tea
Life Basics Organics premium iced teas are 100% Bee Friendly (beyond organic & non-GMO) and are based on traditional tea blends from around the world. The tea flavors include: The Original Turkish Tea, Persian Tea, Brazilian Tea, Indian Tea, English Tea, Thai Tea and Mandarin Tea.
I am loving all the flavors (I am a big tea person) – but I love the Persian Tea the most because it is filled with turmeric! Tumeric is one of my favorite spices for my belly! It is antioxidant-packed and has the best ingredients! These teas are so natural in their sourcing and ingredients, a great product all around!
