Healthy Gluten-Free Eating with @BfreefoodsUSA

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

We don't need to be gluten-free in our house for allergy or health reasons, but I choose to feed my family gluten-free foods whenever I can just because I think sometimes I serve way too much wheat and carbs :). But I am not goin' to lie...sometimes gluten-free just doesn't taste as good and I can't get my family to eat the gluten-free products I serve.

Do you ever face that problem? Whether you have to eat gluten-free or just try to, it is sometimes hard to find DELICIOUS and healthy gluten-free options. That is why I am so excited to share with you healthy and allergen-free breads from BFree! BFree Foods’ line of gluten-free bread is packed with hidden nutritional gems that help with health while still remaining entirely free from wheat, nuts, soy and all other major allergens. Plus, their products really do taste GOOD and my family never knows the difference when I serve BFree foods!

Some of the ingredients on BFree’s roster include:

· Teff, which is loaded with calcium and higher in amino acids than other grains so it boosts energy without a crash.

· Potato Flour, a resistance starch that keeps kids full throughout the day.

· Chia, which is high in fiber and protein.

· Pea Protein, a great vegan substitute for protein that is also high in fiber.

Not only are all of these products gluten free, but they are also wheat, dairy, egg, nut and soy free, making them free from all major allergens and suitable for vegans! Sometimes people that suffer from an intolerance to one food group are also prone to suffer an intolerance to another.

Plus they have such a wide variety of delicious products - I find myself serving BFree products with almost every meal now!

We really love the rolls with our grilled hamburgers, the bagels for Tuna Melts and Hot Dog buns for grilling season! Plus, the Wraps are great for tacos, especially the new Sweet Potato Wraps!

BFree products taste so great you won’t believe they’re not wheat! These breads and rolls are soft and don’t crumble. The Wraps wrap and roll without cracking, whether you eat them hot or cold! Avoiding wheat and gluten doesn’t mean than you have to lose out on taste any more!

If you have to or just choose to eat gluten-free, choose BFree and be very happy eating gluten-free!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Making healthy lunches and snacks for my children AND giving them variety instead of the same thing every day is something I really struggle with on a daily basis. I am just not very creative but giving them healthy, nutritious and filling lunches is really important to me and to their health!

Thank goodness I have help from great companies like Carrington Farms and Viki’s Granola!

Kick Start Healthy Eating with #AtkinsMealKits! @AtkinsInsider

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network.

I talked a few weeks ago about receiving the Easy Peasy Meal Kit from Atkins. It was good then and it is good now!

Receiving this kit has really kicked me in the butt to figure out my eating and be more conscious of what I eat, when I eat and how I eat! I many times eat on-the-go while I teach, run around with the kids or pick up kids from school. My day seems to be one activity after another and I used to binge eat, grab an unhealthy treat for the road or eat everything I could find at night after the kids went to bed.

Eating the Atkins meals when I have a chance to sit down and grabbing the Meal Shakes or Meal Bars when I am in a hurry has been so easy and I love that they are giving me the nutrition I need to get through the day.

Plus, their food tastes pretty good too! The Meal Bars were my favorite! I was endlessly stealing them back from my husband's hands when he was trying to sneak one away from my stash! :)

And I love the great variety of meals that were included in the kit. There were meals great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They were full of flavor and nutrition and there is sure to be a meal for every taste bud and preference!

If you are looking for an easy peasy way to kick start your healthy eating and become more conscious of the food you eat, check out the amazing meal kits from Atkins. They really make healthy eating easy and I definitely recommend the Easy Peasy Meal Kit! The Easy Peasy Meal Kit ($97.99) is the most comprehensive kit with all meals included, and consumers make their snacks and side dishes. The kit includes a variety of Atkins Frozen Meals, Meal Bars and Shakes to cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the most comprehensive kit I have ever seen and it was really helpful for getting me back on track!

Buy It:

You can purchase Atkins Meal Kits at Atkins.com, where you can ALSO receive free support from nutritionists, access educational materials and share insights from your personal weight-loss journey with members of the Atkins community.  The Meal Kits may also be purchased as a recurring subscription.

Let #AtkinsMealKits Get You Back On Track For Weight Loss & Healthy Eating! @AtkinsInsider

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network.

I am a busy mom of three little ones, working two jobs and going back to school. I am also still trying to lose the last few pounds and sometimes I just can't find time for it all! I can't find time to eat healthy and run around everywhere with three kids. I can't find the energy to not stress eat and binge eat junk food. And I just can't find the energy sometimes to work out.

I have learned lately that it is ok to ask for help, it is ok to accept help and that it is ok to need help. So lately I have been watching what I eat better and getting help with that from Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. They recently introduced easy step-by-step meal kits for consumers interested in convenient home delivery of Atkins low-carb products, whether they are trying to lose weight or live a low-carb lifestyle. While Atkins is primarily a whole foods-based program, the meal kits allow people with busy lifestyles to get everything they need to get started quickly, including Atkins frozen meals, snacks and easy-to-follow menus with shopping lists, all delivered to their door.

I have always dreamed of having a live-in chef or cook for just making meals and snacks appear for me when it is time to eat and my dreams are coming true with these Atkins Meal Kits!! They cover a week’s worth of food and tools, with three different options to choose from for one’s needs and lifestyle.

I received the Easy Peasy Meal Kit ($97.99) which is the most comprehensive kit with all meals included, and consumers make their snacks and side dishes. The kit includes a variety of Atkins Frozen Meals, Meal Bars and Shakes to cover breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I really love that I don't have to waste any more of my much needed brain power to make meals for myself with these Atkins Meal Kits! They take all of the guesswork out of preparing meals and snacks, and offer simplified options for the low-carb lifestyle. I can just grab and go and I don't worry about getting caught in the junk food trap anymore! And it is a LOT less grocery shopping!!! WOOHOO!!!

PLUS all plans come with the Atkins Meal Kit Guide, The New Atkins Made Easy book, the Atkins Carb Counter and the Recipe Booklet which were REALLY helpful in getting me started back on a path to weight loss and healthy eating!

So as your children start back to school, life gets crazy again and you lose yourself in the mix - REFOCUS this Fall and do something great for yourself! Let Atkins guide you back to healthy eating and losing weight with their easy to use and eat Meal Kits!
