Product Review: Bliss Nut Butters

Nut Butter Addict here.

The first step is acknowledging it, right?

But, I don't really think I'm going to be kicking the habit any time soon. I love trying all different kinds of nut butters and most recently, I tried out the Bliss Nut Butters brand.

Cashew Nut Butter


The cashew nut butter is made simply of cashews, sunflower oil, organic raw honey and sea salt. It tastes amazing! I love cashews so I love this flavor. It's a great balance of salty and sweet. It tastes very similar to the Flyjoy Cashew Cookie Dough energy bar! My only downside to this nut butter is that it doesn't melt but it is very obviously fresh and delicious!

The next flavor I tried was the Hazelnut butter with cranberries. The first thing I noticed is that there was some oil on top, which is not unusual with freshly ground nut butters, however, I stirred and stirred and it really didn't combine well. The end result was still pretty dry and crumbly. The flavor, however, was very good. It was sweet, but not too sweet and I thought the dried cranberries were a nice texture experience but I'm not sure it's my favorite based on what I use nut butters for.

Overall, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't purchase it again. 

I will update this post when I try the next flavor! Stay tuned!

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
