✨Going gluten free has been very eye opening! I have always been a label reader due to my food allergies in the past and learning from my mom, but this is quiet different now with all the processed foods we have now! Did you know some rices, mixed nuts, and even soy sauces have Gluten in them? Yeah, I didn’t either until this recent lifestyle change! Here are a few brand I have tried and love so far! I am sure this list will grow over time!
✨Siete brand (chips, tortillas, cookies)
✨HU
✨One Degree Organic Foods
✨Carbonaut (bread)
✨Canyon Bakehouse (They have a gluten free Brioche!)
✨Pasta Swaps – Chickpea Pasta, Lentil Pasta, and Brown Rice Pasta, I also love Zoodles, and Palamini Pasta which is bamboo shoot pasta. Spaghetti squash is another good swap!
✨Flours- Arrowroot Flour, Coconut Flour, Oat Flour
✨Bobs Red Mill Oatmeal Gluten Free
✨Kind Granola Gluten Free
💫Cookbooks; True Comfort, True Roots, Well + Good
✨As part of this new health endeavor I completed a food sensitivities test, one of the many things that came up was dairy. I am going 100% gluten free due to Hashimotos, but also being mindful of my food sensitivities as these can translate into inflammation in the gut which then leads to Leaky Gut which then can cause many autoimmune issues if left untreated. So far, these are a few of the dairy swaps I have found and like so far.
✨Kite Hill (cream cheese, and butter)
✨Siggis Coconut Yogurt (10 grams of protein)
✨Forager (milk, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream)
✨So Delicious (I have heard iffy things about this company, but their coconut unflavored creamer is a good swap for half and half)
