Guilt Free Snacks: Perfect for our Gluten-Free Friends!

?>

Guilt Free Snacks is a New York City based company which has thoughtfully created a line of snacks that are not only gluten-free, but are all natural. In addition, they pride themselves on having less fat, sodium and sugar than other gluten free snacks image1 (23)available. I recently had the opportunity to try many of the snacks Guilt Free has to offer and I was impressed by both the taste and quality of the products.

Guilt Free Snacks offers cookies, brownies, trail mix and granola to go. The cookies currently come in two flavors – chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. When snacking on the cookies, I found the flavor to be impeccable and the texture to be much more “cookie-like” than so many gluten free cookies I’ve tried. The base of the oatmeal raisin cookie is oats and rice flour. The cookie was moist and crumbled just a bit which was fantastic! The chocolate chip cookie was a bit lighter to eat, and the chocolate chips were spread out perfectly throughout the cookie adding a little extra sweetness which made it the perfect companion to a glass of coconut milk.

When I was on the go, I turned to Guilt Free Snacks Granola to Go and Trail Mix bar. The trail mix bar proved to be the perfect snack to pack for a small Los Angeles hike. The bar contains oats, raisins, crispy rice, chia and pumpkin seeds. The bar is seasoned with very natural undertones of cinnamon and vanilla. The bar is satisfying and kept my energy up on the second part of my hike.

The granola from Guilt Free comes in a small resealable pouch which mimage1 (24)ade it handy for a snack I didn’t have to eat all at once. I found that I preferred to eat the granola little bits at a time. The blend of oats, coconut flakes, raisins, crispy rice, cranberries and pumpkin seeds is perfect to snack on throughout the day.

My favorite of all the Guilt Free Snacks I tried was the chocolate brownie. The brownie square was soft and chewy. The chocolate flavor was perfect and I discovered the aftertaste was a chocolate/vanilla mixture I’d never had from a brownie before. It was surprising that this brownie was not only gluten free but also guilt free – it will definitely become a regular sweet treat for me!

Guilt Free Snacks is an incredible option for those seeking gluten free or more healthy approaches to snacking. The products can be found around NYC but also ordered online.

I'm originally from Northeastern Wyoming. When I was 9 my family moved to Southern Arizona. With my grandparents still in Wyoming I spent my childhood being shuffled between two very different regions of the country. I grew up eating traditional American dishes, however while in Arizona I was just minutes from the U.S./Mexico border so naturally I was also introduced to Mexican food. It's hard to know what I love more; the comfort food and recipes passed down from generations before me, or the rich, spicy and earthy flavors found in foods from South of the border. With two seemingly very different palates so close to my heart both my cooking and eating style are extraordinarily unique. I'm fond of Northern foods; game meat, potatoes, and carb loaded dishes just as much as I appreciate Mexican cuisine and spices. I've found that my affection for both traditional nostalgic food and authentic Mexican have naturally formed into my one of a kind view of food. In recent years a Gluten Intolerance has once again reshaped the way I cook and eat. I aim to incorporate a Gluten Free diet into my life without sacrificing all the foods I grew up with and love. Now living in Los Angeles, I enjoy spending my time exploring all the food this city has to offer. I look forward to sharing my adventures with others as I cook, eat and explore Gluten Free food in LA! Check out my blog My Gluten Free LA.
