SkinnyMe Chocolates are a guilt-free Keto snack full of delicious flavors

So many brands are listening! We want snacks that taste great but aren’t loaded with sugars and other harmful ingredients. Brands like SkinnyMe want us to know we can still indulge and do it in a better way without compromising taste. The macros is what I love about SkinnyMe besides their incredible flavors that make these chocolates unique. Flavors like Birthday Cake and Banana Split are not typical from other sugar free chocolate brands.

More than just a chocolate bar, it is a chocolatier bar that has the flavors really come out in the aftertaste of that first bite. They are sweetened with stevia leaf and offer about 50 calories a serving. Because these chocolates are rich, one serving gives plenty of satisfaction. They are a great zero sugar, Keto snack.

The ingredient list is clean. I do not know what the Natural Flavors are and they, but at the bottom of the ingredient list and based on the other ingredients it is obviously a fantastic choice for a better chocolate brand by far! You can order your chocolates on the SkinnyMe website and I have them in Ross stores near me. Fingers crossed they come to more stores or to Thrive Market as well!

Ella’s Flats Vegan, All-Seeds Savory Crisps are the perfect keto snack

August 10, 2021August 9, 2021 Erin Sluka

I was introduced to a very convenient keto snack that is vegan and loaded with gluten-free fiber. Ella’s Flats are an all-seed snack that are great when on-the-go or with dips and cheeses or just by themselves. With multiple flavors, seed crisps have never had such great flavor!

Look at the ingredient list! Nothing but seeds and some spices, that’s it! I love such a clean nutrition label and these are the snacks I am always looking for in my day. Because they are loaded with seeds, they also offer great Omega benefits along with the fiber and little to 0 carbs. The Everything Flats have the most carbs at 4g net per serving. Other flavors have as low as 0g net carbs. I love this!

Ella’s Flats are vegan, gluten-free, paleo, keto and preservative free. So delicious and crave-worthy! Shop for these now at Ella’s Flats website and on Amazon.

BeanVIVO offers tasteful blends of healthy and sustainable bean-based meals

With a teen in the home, I have seen many phases of meals from him since summer began. He started with anything microwavable and then I taught him how to make Mac n Cheese and he began making that a lot. Then he learned how to make a grilled cheese and from there he is becoming more confident making lunches and snacks for himself.

A favorite for him and I are bean and cheese burritos. They are very quick to make and it is simple to make these healthy (or at least healthier than low quality beans in unhealthy oils and high carb tortillas). I grab some BeanVIVO Organics Refried Pinto Beans, low carb tortillas (like Coyotas or whatever I have on hand), some shredded cheese and sour cream.

I use BeanVIVO beans because the ingredient list is legit, see it below. Each of the pouches features a QR code so you can trace exactly where the beans were harvested! The beans have the amount of protein and fiber I want ion my meal and the pouches are very convenient.

BeanVIVO has dips and snacks and 4 bean options – the refried pinto beans, baja black beans, coconut curry chickpeas and three-bean vegan chili. These make great mini meals or side dishes. The ingredients are so fresh and certified organic for your bean-based recipes. Visit BeanVIVO’s website or their Amazon store to order today. Even the teens, can easily heat and eat from these pouches!
