Elizabeth’s story: (from website)
Fast forward to 2007, when I pursued a new career as holistic nutrition counselor at Institute of Integrative Nutrition. There I learned about the connections between what you eat and how you feel; how sugar, wheat and dairy (the key ingredients to my favorite treats) can negatively impact health. I could no longer enjoy my childhood favorites with the same enthusiasm. Instead, I wanted to create a solution that both I and my clients could enjoy. My mission, to recreate homemade baked goods using healthy ingredients that were not just “healthy” but actually beneficial for the body, filled with vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
In September 2009, I launched purely elizabeth, a line of gluten free baking mixes using nutritious whole grains and superfood seeds (hemp, flax and chia), free of sugar, dairy, wheat and gluten.
For the pancakes, I used 1cup of the dry mixture, 1.5 cup almond milk, 3tbsp olive oil, and blueberries. This made about 15 pancakes, which were enough to feed my sister, 3friends, and myself. We also had various toppings including agave nectar, banana slices, and almonds. I actually didn’t need any topping because the pancakes were great on their own. I just had more fruits on the side! The pancakes were light yet fluffy!
I think the chia seeds in the mix provided that fluffiness while cinnamon added a touch of sweetness.
A great thing about this mix is that you could add in any ingredients you like such as cacao nibs, berries or banana slices before cooking them.
I know I am lactose intolerant so dairy gives me stomach pain. Yet, I still consume greek yogurt maybe once or twice a month because it is so GOOD! I don’t care about other dairy products but greek yogurt is something that I can’t let go. It’s that smoothness and tartness that I love so much!
When Lifeway Kefir offered to send me some products, I accepted initially to have my sister try them. But after hearing from my sister that it tasted SO GOOD and it was similar to greek yogurt, I just had to give it a try!
My sister tried the flavored ones while I tried the Plain Unsweetened Organic Kefir.
My verdict? WOW! It is thinner than greek yogurts but it tasted goooooood. Not to mention the wonderful probiotics! I knew I was putting good bacterias into my system so they tasted extra good. haha.
My sister liked Strawberry n Creme the best. She said it was not too sweet and very tasty.
I enjoyed it so much just on its own. But I knew that I had to try with something else as well. I tried it like with sprinkles of cinnamon and raw oats. That was a perfect pro-workout snack! It provided protein that I need to refuel and reheal my muscles.
I also tried it in a parfait paired with fruits. I used blackberries and banana slices.
I haven’t tried it in a mixed smoothie form. But i know my next adventure is going to involve Amazing Grass powder and cacao powder! HOLY! it’s going to be wonderfully chocolatey!!!!
I was lucky to try Clean Cravings products. They are made without: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, yeast, soy, corn, sugar, peanuts, nightshade vegetables.
Just Crust Minis are these adorable pizza crusts that can be used to make mini pizzas, sandwiches, or even chips to scoop hummus or any dips.
They come in two flavors: original and Rosemary.
Another great thing about these crusts are that they can be stored at room temperature up to the expiration date. OR you could freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months!).
Each package comes with three crusts, so I was able to put different toppings on each and share them with my sister and friends.
I really enjoyed them because the crust got crunchy and was very thin. I wish my camera wasn’t broken because they came out SO beautiful. They were definitely picture-worthy looking pizzas.
I haven’t tried making sandwiches out of them but I am sure that it would be wonderful as well. The bread is very yummy on its own.
It’s made of whole and short ingredients: whole grain organic brown rice flour, arrowroot flour, whole grain sorghum flour, organic raw agave nectar, guar gum, fruit juice, rice dextrins, whole, organic olive oil, sea salt.
Clean Cravings also carry already-made pizzas that you could just pop in the oven for 10-12minutes! They have Perfectly Pesto which is FULL of basil pesto aroma and veggies. I only tried a bite because I brought them for a class party but EVERYONE raved about them.
They are soon coming out with Very Veggie Pizza which I really really really want to try in the future. I love my veggies so the name of it already makes it YUMMY!
