Product Review: La Tortilla Factory Soft Wraps

GUESS WHAT? Are you ready for some exciting news?

This is my first video review of a product - and really, my first video blog about anything! Yay! I'm excited to try this out and look forward to making more videos. Please ignore the awkward face I am making in the image that YouTube decided to freeze. Super awkward. 

In general: I was sent the entire line of La Tortilla Factory's new Soft Wraps to review - both full size and minis. I absolutely loved both. The wraps contain no aluminum in their baking soda/powder, no trans fats or hydrogenated oils, no lard, and no high fructose corn syrup. Seriously, they are awesome. And extremely low in calories too. What could be better? 

Click here to see the review of La Tortilla Factory that I did a few months ago when I worked with this company for the first time! 

Note: be sure to turn up your volume. I'm speaking kind of quietly in this. 

Thanks La Tortilla Factory!

Product Review & Giveaway: GNU Bars

Hi friends!

I hope everyone had a good Easter! My Easter weekend was a bit stressful, and I went to the skin doctor to find out why little red spots keeping popping up all over my arms, back and sides…. apparently it's a common viral infection that will heal itself over a few months. At least it's nothing serious!

Time for another product review, and a giveaway – Happy Easter!

A little while ago, the kind people at GNU Foods agreed to send me a box of 8 of their 10 bars, with 2 of each flavor. They also sent me another of the exact same box to giveaway to one lucky reader – keep reading to find out how to win!

I really love GNU bars because they all weigh in at around 130-140 calories per bar, but each bar is still filling and full of fiber. They also don’t use a lot of added sugars, which I really liked.

As mentioned earlier, they sent me 8 flavors to review: Carrot Cake, Cinnamon Raisin, Blondie, Orange Cranberry, Chocolate Brownie, Blueberry Cobbler, Peanut Butter, and Banana Walnut.

Three of these flavors are new – the blueberry cobbler, blondie, and carrot cake bars. I found all of these to be delicious, but the blueberry cobbler was bar far my favorite! It was the first bar I tried out of the package I was sent and I liked it the best. It definitely tasted like a blueberry muffin – so yummy. It had all the components of a blueberry cobbler - blueberries, lemon juice, and oats 0 and big pieces of visible blueberries. The blondie, although I don’t eat many blondies, tasted like what I imagine a blondie to taste like. And I always love carrot cake - this was a great alternative to its more fattening cake cousin!

All the other bars were delicious, and tasted much like their names. A close second to blueberry was the orange cranberry. I loved the strong flavors present in this bar!
