Product Review: Purple, Yummy, and Easy on the Tummy!

I've got a riddle for you. 

What's purple, yummy, and easy on the tummy? 

I'll tell you. 

It's Beviva Foods snacks! Beviva Foods produces Sweet Potato Chips, Cereal Cups, and Granola Pouches.

But these aren't your average, every-day snacks. These snacks were created with a purpose. The founder, Sylvia, was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2011. She dealt with the debilitating symptoms while working and caring for her three children. 

She was inspired to create Beviva Snacks so that others who are dealing with digestive issues and sensitivities can have mini-meals and snacks that they can take when they are on the go, or in a rush, or anytime. Having tummy friendly snacks on hand are a must for those dealing with IBD and similar issues. I love that Sylvia has created these innovative products to help the many people trying to juggle life while dealing with their condition. 

Purple sweet potatoes stand as the foundation of their snacks. It is nutritious, easily digestible, delicious, not to mention, pretty! 

Their product line up includes:
  • Purpo All-in-One Cereal Cup : It has a crunchy sweet potato granola with dried papaya, sultanas, and cranberries and oat mylk. Just add water! The oats are certified gluten free so no worries there! 
I personally love a quick, light breakfast and especially one that I know will digest easily so I loved this little cup! It's satisfying and yummy! I actually tried it warmed up and loved it! It's not overly sweet but I enjoyed it. Top it off with some nut butter and you have a great mini-meal for busy days! 
  • Purpo Granola Pouches: Purple sweet potato granola with probiotics, 6g fiber and real coconut and fruits added in. 
I found this to be a great yogurt mix-in! I have been loving granola lately in yogurt or ice cream or even on it's own. This is a nice travel packet form for taking on trips or to work! 
  • Sweet Potato Chips: These chips are simply sweet potatoes and oil, vacuum fried in low temperatures to preserve the nutrition. No salt added. 
Purpo Granola as a Smoothie Topping
These are great when you're in need of a crunchy snack! Personally, I would add some salt to give it that extra oomph! But you could eat them as-is, sprinkle salt or cinnamon or even use them in a recipe! The possibilities are endless! 

I loved trying these IBD friendly snacks and though I don't personally have a diagnosed digestive disease, I have dealt with some undiagnosed symptoms. On days when my tummy just doesn't feel right, it's good to have a "safe" snack option that I can eat in confidence! 

Do you deal with any digestive issues? Did you know 70 million people suffer from digestive disorders? 

If you have digestive issues (or even if you don't!) I would say check out Beviva Foods! You can check them out here: https://www.bevivafoods.com/ or find them on Amazon!


I received this product free but all opinions are my own. If you are suffering with a digestive disorder, make sure to always check labels for yourself as each person is different with their dietary needs.

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
