Enjoy Life!

I was recently sent Enjoy Life's new "boom Choco boom" bars to sample.  


Enjoy Life has long been one of my favorite brands but I must say I was skeptical of a chocolate bar being good that was gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.  However, I was pleasantly surprised!  


All 3 varieties that I sampled (rice milk, dark chocolate, and crispy rice) were delicious and tasted just like a "normal" chocolate bar!


In addition to being gluten free, dairy free, and soy free, the "boom Choco boom" bars are egg free, peanut free, tree nut free, certified vegan and kosher plus they are made in a dedicated nut and gluten free facility!


Visit their website at www.enjoylifefoods.com to download a coupon to save 75 cents on any two chocolate bars.  


You can purchase these bars at many grocery stores and health food stores nationwide.  You can also buy them in bulk at Ms. Celiac's Market!

In fact, they do have many health benefits.  They are free of cholesterol, preservatives, trans fats and GMOs.  They are also certified Kosher and Gluten Free, as well as, being low in sodium and a good source of dietary fiber.

Currently, Food Should Taste Good chips are available in 10 flavors.  These include:

  • Multigrain
  • Sweet Potato
  • Olive
  • Jalapeno
  • The Works!
  • Chocolate
  • Lime
  • Yellow Corn
  • Blue Corn
  • Cheddar
They also recently sent me a sample pack including such delicious flavors as the Sweet Potato, The Works!, Blue Corn, Cheddar, and Multigrain.  And they are giving me the opportunity to give one of my lucky readers a free sample box!

3) Mix together the rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour until well blended and set aside.
4) Combine together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and pumpkin.
